My brother has a business in Bangkok, contributes to the local economy and provides many local Thais with a job that is paid well by Thai standards. I'm not sure what experience you have had of foreigners treating staff with indifference but not everyone is the same and I'm confident that if you asked the staff of Samitevej on my attitude, it would be a very postive one. I hope that you are now assured that all foreigners are not bad.
