I think that Thai people are open and friendly towards you, because of your celabrity statuse. When you enter into that small Thai village as a big time relatively wealthy American, it is the same comparision if I had "Queen Elizabeth ll" come to my house in Australia. In that situration I would be all smiles as well. But I think there is no difference between the reaction of Thai people to other Thai people as in the West to other westerners. I think people are very suspicious of there own kind in the west and in Thailand as every one has been stabbed in the back by a conmam some time and if you look at the crime statistics of Thailand on the net, it is not that much different to the crime statistic of most western countries. So most people have been a victom of crime they lose trust other people in the community. The only country where I have been to where I found genuine trust in the Community is Japan where the crime rate is exstreamly low.
