Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Not really. So far so good. I also feel that here unlike Sihanoukville where the Chinese took over the whole economy the locals here where quick to adapt by learning chinese, adding chinese writing to their menu and signs.
Also there's this whole 'temple town' attitude which would make it a lot harder to open casinos and (publicly obvious) brothels here.
But I do feel like the increase in chinese tourist as lead to a decrease in western tourists...

No chinese, baht weakening .
What Thailand are you living in?

Phuket...Very quickly being destroyed by the Chinese all inclusive tours that arrive in their buses by the thousands.

Pattaya...Difficult to tell Pattaya from Shanghai.

Chaing Rai...Once the jewel of the North, now the cesspit of the Middle Kingdom.

Chiang Rai....Steadily increasing tour buses arriving from China. They are so foul in their habits that even the White Temple has had to install separate toilets for Chinese only as they defecated all over the floor and left sanitary towels ( when they bothered to use them) anywhere they could in the main toilets.

tbh, the only Chinese i really see in Pattaya are the hoards of tourists down Walkingstreet, beach road and the occasional few down Soi 6, mainly just walkers, on a Scale of 1 to Sihanoukville its not that bad at all

PRC Chinese are that bad......

As for being racist, my wife is Chinese...Singaporean Chinese, and my spiritual brother and sister are Thai Chinese.

Many people have trouble telling the difference between Asian people but the PRC Chinese are easy to spot. They pee in elevators and poo in the roadsiie. They go round in groups led by someone with a large pole and flag shouting in Mandarin "Follow me, follow me...Gēnzhe wǒ, Gēnzhe wǒ".

In Singapore you can tell the PRC working in the shops as they will not speak English and insist on Mandarin even though English is one of the official languages in Singapore. In Thailand, the Thai Chinese are at their wits end as to what to do as they are often taken for PRC Chinese by the PRC tourists who will expect top service without paying for it as they are on an "all in" holiday.

I view the PRC Chinese the same as the Americans in the 60s and 70s. Not a clue about other countries culture.

And finally, as someone who speaks Mandarin reasonably well, I am shocked at the way the PRC tourists refer to Thai people in Mandarin as monkeys not realising that many Thais and some Farangs speak and understand Mandarin.

Racist?......No. Prejudiced?....Yes.

Interesting view. Perhaps there is room for people to learn.
