Description:
What’s behind the friction between Thais and foreigners
in Thailand and how does it affect the Thai diaspora?
Several incidents have occurred between Thai locals, tourists,
and foreigners, causing significant tension. This has also an
effect on Thais living outside of Thailand.
This THAISPORA episode aims to dissect this topic — the reasons
for this friction, Thailand’s history with foreign powers and why
it may also cause tension within the Thai diaspora.
