I find this strange.

is the poster suggesting that I should walk around welcoming tourists....get real.

I happily help tourists any time I can, but I certainly don't welcome them to Thailand as it's not my country to welcome them to.

As for treating the locals like shit as opposed to lovely respectful tourists. I can only laugh and shake my head at such nonsense.

I of course dont in any way pretend to know everything about Thailand, however I know far more about Thailands history, both contemporary and longer, than most normal Thais.

This is 100% true. The majority of Thais know very little about their own country / history, just the few nationalistic titbits they are regularly fed to be brainwashed with by those who benefit from the status quo. My wife wants to know anything about Thailand she asks me.
