In Thailand, the best ethnicity to do well with the girls is Korean, by far. Korean fashion, soap operas and such are all over T.V. I once heard an ad that claims their product gives you a Korean look/style, another where a guy is distracted when a girl tells him that there's a Korean girl nearby.
The "racism" thing in Thailand isn't the same as how racism played out historically in the west. There's no white supremacy groups, etc just the general attitude of people wanting to have white skin. This link gets sort of close at it: http://matadornetwork.com/bnt/white-skin...you-think/ (though I haven't heard the creation story/joke it mentioned). In fact you can say that this preference transcends race - you can be Japanese, Greek or whatever, as long as your skin is fair many consider it beautiful, so it's not so much about race. Unfortunately the anti-Indian thing is accurate, though usually only when it comes to dating. Many girls here complain they won't date Indians cause they stink. However, one of the richest families here is Thai-Indian, and they own a clothing empire. You'll also findi Thai-Indians in the workplace having powerful executive positions.
Another unfortunate thing is Thais are not so fond of the people in their neighboring countries. This has been indoctrinated in us by the education system since elementary school, so many people view themselves as superior to Laos, Burmese, Cambodian people etc.
