My advice? Take very good care! Gossip and the Thai drums are near, before you know you have a name. Even people I thought I could trust, cheated on me. And these were not only Thai!
While I agree with you, I also have some very good Thai friends who have helped me immensely in my career and in my personal life. Yes, care is needed, but isn't care needed when choosing people you call your friends?
