My own experiences of LOS (land of smiles) from 4 trips and working there one of them:
While Im aware Thais look down on the Indians living in their own country, I can't think of a single episode of feeling this myself (im of indian background). Overall, people were quite hospitable. An aside is that Thais would hate to learn how much of their culture is influenced from India...from the Thai Massage, the temples, down to their names. But that's another matter.
Girls: One of the best in Asia for percentage of hot girls and stunners are not rare. The hottest girl I've been with (at least as a gf) was from BKK.
Nightlife: The usual spots can be lame...i..e. Q Bar etc the names dont change. You have to party where local Thais do...Went to a number of joints (?Klymaxx was one) that were off the hook and I was the only tourist. Karaoke bars can also be a lot of fun.
Food: Amazing. Once you eat in Thailand, you won't be able to set foot into 95% of thai restaurants in north america
A word on fighting: Ill swallow my pride any day of the week. I've got things to do the next day. If you can afford a flight overseas, chances are any dude you tangle with has a lot less to lose than you. Defending yourself is of course another matter.
