Sai Kaew Villa 2. (Picture attached) Not just here, many places in Thailand, people show least interest to outsiders other than westerners, especially their gestures and attitude towards fellow Asian people is something else, They keep me and friend waiting for almost an hour, kept pushing our order behind while the staffs are ignoring and responded rudely. They kept serving westerner some of them who came after us. Almost an hour later, I went up to the counter and the waiter said something In thai to the lady there, she just grabbed my the money we paid and handed it over to me… I am from Bhutan and in my country if you are a foreigner you are a foreigner and get the same respect and support. I took this picture as I left the place hungry I was saddened by the situation.
