funny i should see this topic....i just moved back to lamai after 10 months....dont have any enemies here in fact dont mix much with the thai locals in lamai at all, dont go out to bars or anything - keep myself to myself really....used to always love my morning trip to the market for noodles and coffee... a few days ago at 8am i returned to my bike to find dog crap in the footwell....i thought weird for a dog to pass and poop in my footwell...didnt think anything of it - then today the same thing happened. someone clearly thinks it is funny to put dog crap in the white womans bike....its the first time i have felt truly targeted and unwelcome.

I intend on getting my good thai friend from chaweng to come with me tomorrow and have a few words with the sellers around where i leave my bike....personally i think it is the guys who sit on the wall of the familymart opposite lamai market. My friend is going to be furious when i tell him - he will consider it an extreme loss of face to him and thai people that they should do this.

Its beyond me why they would do this to me :( makes me sad and feeling targeted now......if i were a tourist i would not think much of the land of smiles or samui right now.......

Can it be a way to tell you to not park in front of my business, it's for my customers.
Try park somewhere else.
yes will do that, though i do park with all the other bikes in the parking section...no one else gets this treatment....besides - i am/was their customer!

Now that is quite insulting... However, I suspect its simply a group of uneducated monkeys doing nothing more than getting a laugh.....

I would doubt that there is any genuine ill intent going on here. I'm sure if you actually caught someone doing this and faced up to them it would very much be a School teacher scolding a scared child type scenario !!! (careful though !)....
yes i am quite upset at it....am sure my friend will handle it though...i am very recognizable as they see me every day and i always smile and say hello....it may be for a laugh but it really is nasty and am trying very hard not to take it personally as that will just give them the reaction they want. Sad though as if goes on shopping will be done at tescos and the market can say bye bye to my money :(  no one wins

by the way....before anyone says something about how i might have caused it....i was wearing long trousers and a shirt...was smiling and chatting my pigeon thai to the vendors i see every day. Am always polite and smile.... have not had any fights or got in any trouble with any thais here....absolutely zero reason it should happen to me in particular other than am white, female and on my own....
