Good Next time in Thailand I will greet this wai ..

The status thing is strange to me - How can all farang's be afforded considerable status considering the way some behave on their travels.. The way I have seen some behave makes me cringe and feel ashamed of my country. They may be well educated in terms of knowledge and have plenty £££'s, but ignorant regarding ethics.. (Thankfully, these people are the minority even though they seem to be everywhere!)

Does just wealth in itself bring status? (Which would seem to be much more a Western ideal?)

Ooo-er.. sounds a bit like a rant.. but isn't really
