No, I don't think it's time to let it go. Some things are done so poorly, impolitely, and inhospitably that they need never be forgotten. If you don't like reading it, then don't read it. And kindly don't characterize it as a "petty grudge," when that is certainly not what's going on here.
And, no, it's not about knowing how things are done in Asia. They were rude and inappropriate and handled the situation in a very un-Thai fashion, according to my Thai partner.
