I never noticed any difference to Thai manners then people in Australia. When I was travelling around Samrong Samut Prakan going to the local shopping centre everday, at Imperial World, on the back of one of those utility pick up truck type busses, it was quite often full and I would stand on the back, No one offered me a seat and I was happy no one did, as I don't exspect any one to stand up for me and I don't stand up for any one unless there old or have a dissability. I was the only Ferang on these busses, and no one said a word every one was very quiet, I think they were very shy and not speak, apart from this I always travelled with a thai escort or my persional body gard.
Next time I will travelle into a small remote village area of Thailand and see if there is a diffence between the people in small village's and the ones from the big cities.
I have noticed that americans are very friendly when they come to Australia, so I find it stange by the above coments that they not talk in the USA but then again I have never been to The USA.
also about feeling fee in Thailand, that is true, In australia there are speed cameras that book your car for doing 3 klm over the speed limit, and many traffic light cameras that book you all the time. But when I was in thailand, The amout of time the Taxi drivers were speedin past the police at increable speed and they not get booked, It must be an increadable freedom to be able to drive on a road where you not have to look at your speedomiter every 5 seconds to make shore you not get booked.
