The surliest Thais I've ever come across are undoubtedly in Chaweng, Koh Samui, aka Backpacker Central. The fact that these kids walk around with a look of suspicion and mistrust on their faces, ask how much everything is and look pained when they hear the answer, shout if they can't make themselves understood and will sit all night in bar watching the free movies while they drink one glass of coke and sneak biscuits out of the packet from under the table is probably something to do with it.
It's the arrogance that gets me. I never thought I'd end up talking like my dad but he was dead right when he said the little buggers don't know they're born.
