"Pissing off the locals anywhere in the world isn't a good idea, and in Thailand it can take on serious consequences. The Thais aren't shy in responding when they feel they have been hard done, or merely slighted, and often do so in a brutal manner.

The way Thais deal with those who have wronged them, or those they may be jealous of, or merely envious of, is to treat them the same way they would a snake in their house. If the snake is big, poisonous or dangerous, it is gently ushered out of the house without annoying or upsetting it. If it is small, weak or poses little or no danger, it is killed! It isn't hurt or wounded but deliberately killed! At the very least, it is hurt so badly, maimed or disfigured, that it will never come back to bother again. Snakes, so some Thais tell me, are just like humans. Their memory is good and if you don't deal with them effectively the first time, they will come back for you! Applying this logic to people, if you are jealous, envious or slighted by someone who is strong, powerful or considered to be a formidable foe, you gently extricate yourself away from them. But if they are weak, vulnerable or pose no harm to you, you might just go after them.

Thais are relaxed and easy-going on the surface, but it isn't difficult to inadvertently upset or annoy them by doing very little, or even just by being yourself. In a land where many locals are poor and many foreigners are rich, envy and jealousy can turn a Thai against you."
