i walked by a number of the "Amazing Thailand" "survey" students and indian tailors and not 1 of them stopped me to take a "survey" or buy a suit. that has NEVER happened to me before. both groups always hassle me (the tailors never giving up until i'm rude, the students relinguishing after a polite lie of "no thank you, i live here" in thai).
