That was my experience traveling with an Indian acquaintance. I can't speak for others, so maybe they could chime in.
Thanks, I also was reading that many Indians were opening shops up in Phuket, which to me doesn't seem like something that would be possible if there was a big issue regarding my friends concern. There is a huge subreddit (On Reddit) where tons, and I mean tons of people are claiming that Thailand is racist towards Indians, but I with you all on this. Because I've never personally witnessed it with many months worth of time having been spent there. And this is just one sub-reddit of many speaking on this matter. But I used your responses to show my friend a different point of view on this, and he's excited to come.
