I fail to see how this is a problem.
Many bars do not let them in either, because we don't want to drink with them.
I said to a bargirl once, 'Why do you keep the blacks out?' and she said 'Because if Farang see African man, he not come in'.
I said 'Yep, you're right'.
All they do is try and sell me cocaine, and try to 'look after me' on Sukhumvit. It gets quite tiring.

Thanks for the responses.
After investigating the travel options the far south and north treally seem too ambitious considering I only have 4 days and actually want to relax and not endure 12hr bus rides. Flights are 9000bht return which is too pricey for such a short time. I should have organised my plans at an earlier date for these places.
I am now looking at Prachuap Kiri Khan for a day or so and then possibly Haad Thung Wua Laen in Chumphon. If someone could provide precise details on how to get from the bus depot in Prachuap to the decent local beaches I would be very grateful, getting a motorbike is normally my preferred option but if the local songtheaws are fairly priced and regular I would be happy to use them. From what I understand their are regular songtheaws from the bus depot in chumphon to haad thing wua laen, please correct me if I am wrong or you know of a better suggestion.
Thanks again

You realize you have just described half the expat population living in Thailand?

The majority of posters here seem quite happy with their lot, and don't support the OP. Fine. But consider that many of those who DO support the OP have already left., so aren't posting here.
Up to 2 years ago, there was a group of 9 of us guys, along with our families, who used to regularly meet, entertain, and go out together. The mix were retirees, employees and business owners who had been here for up to 17 years - a good spread. Now, only 2 are left, the rest have upped sticks and gone back to 'pastures old'.
The long and short of it are the outrageous costs of many things here now, the low quality of these things, education standards (Thailand is now worst in all of SE Asia according to a report I read last week), and the change of "Thai Culture" (LOL) from a welcoming one to an envious, greedy, aggressive, xenophobic outlook that is irreparably damaging this country.
