Yeah agree with Nomad4Evere - where there are lots of tourists/backpackers (of the kee-nok kind) you will find disgruntled Thais. Large, drunk, semiclad, loutish football hooligans abound in parts of BKK, Pattaya and Phuket - can't really blame them for not liking us much.

The keyed car and rock may be an ex-employee or something - lots of Thais loosing their jobs right now and it does little to remove the nationistic xenophobia.
