A buddy of mine lives in Bangkok. His wife, is a naturalized American from Thailand (they met when he first went there, then she did her graduate work here in the States (he was at the same school, but did his PhD work in Thailand, lol)). I emailed him last time this cropped up (I was concerned), and he was amazingly matter of fact about it.
Not saying there is nothing to be concerned about, as I certainly am, but people there don't seem as bothered as I would expect, LOL.
