I love Chiang Mai, maybe more than other places in Thailand. However, you just don't feel welcome in certain places (usually cafés/hostels) if you are totally heterosexual, right of centre politically or like to eat meat. This is not the fault of the local Thai people though, it's usually the Western clientele that will make you feel that way. Those shit people with their shiny new MacBook Pros, fruit smoothies, coconut milk cappuccinos and vegan menus can just f**k off, I hate them all, lol.

Despite this, not every place is exclusively targeting these digital nomad/backpacker types. Digital nomads and backpackers I find, somehow tend to be very lefty in nature; probably because they have a trust fund/rich parents that will support their most likely to be totally unprofitable blogging adventures; the vast majority are definitely not Silicon Valley tech guys working remotely and earning big money yet not paying San Francisco/bay area rent. I bet that there's a fair few bitcoin bullshitters out there too.

Chiang Mai still has a lot of places that do cater for the 'creepy old white men' that love a cold beer and a steak/full English though, as well as younger Western people that just want to get absolutely wasted on Sang Som buckets and whatever else they can get hold of. All is not lost, yet.

I'm not sure why those women feel a need for themselves to 'save' the local Thai women though; it's shitty white knight behaviour that you usually see from beta males and we all know that women aren't supposed to be knights; even if the red pilled men out there know that no woman is ever really a damsel in distress either. Maybe it's just a subconscious thing; the Western sluts are just bitter at the fact that the creepy old white men won't ever be a source of reassuring attention or potential sugar daddies for them. They're not really saving these 'poor innocent Thai girls,' they're really just trying to nullify the competition.
