I guess that this is just a risk of going into a foreign country. Unless you want to right wrongs all over the world, you go on vacation to enjoy yourself. You chose to go to the country. If you don't agree with the country's policies, vote with your feet. Don't go. One of the pitfalls of going to a foreign country is that you don't know any of the social mores and what's acceptable and what's not. Whenever I'm travel, I always say please and thank you and am as polite as my limited language allows. Don't try to change laws/customs in foreign countries. In Thailand, you can't step on currency or point the bottom of your feet at an image of a Buddha. That's how they do things, if you want to do that, do it in your own country.
