Traffic bugs me most in the major cities. The lack of regulated pollution controls for vehicles is an issue.
Outside the cities it is the need to carry translation guides or have someone who speaks fluent Thai since mine is lacking still but getting better.
Aside from that, life in the LOS is good!

Trying to order something in a shop and the assistant not being able to understand me because they have already decided they do not speak English. It upsets me because I am actually speaking fairly good Thai but they have turned off already. I have lived here 12 years.
The difficulty of doing even the simplest thing because of the systems or lack of them. What would take ten minutes in the west can take all day here.
The assumption that all foreign males are sex tourists.

what about the noisy neighborhoods playing their music very loud even after 11 at night?
you can call the cop, they will always there taking your phone and your complain, but they will never come and do a thing!
don't forget the street dogs that bark all night too.

Nothing but the smell of sewer and the air pollution in Bangkok - the egoistic mentality of the people - the lack of fair trade.
that's more or less it.

Picking the nose...........They have no shame. They will look right at you as they dig their finger up their nostril, like they are proud of their actions.

I hate all the Thais who really believe they are more clever than westerners.
