Living in Phuket and having visited all the above in the last 6 weeks,TOG wrote: ↑Sun Aug 26, 2018 5:36 pmWhat Thailand are you living in?Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:50 pm Just find a new country
Or goto thailand.
Still good here.
No chinese, baht weakening .
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.
ur a bit wrong
Will admit there plenty of them in these places, ( Chinese tourism accounts for upwards of 30% of total tourists arrivals in Thailand) and they are loud and obnoxious
but there not taking over like they are/did in snv

Chinese really arent that bad, you come off as racist......
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.

Re: New People
Visited friends who are staying in a Chinese hotel near Nagaworld today - the staff made it abundantly clear that we westerners are not welcome in that building, and as we were using a public area on one of the high floors checked to see we hadn't stolen any of the drinks that had been put out for a group of Chinese potential investors that came through. Our friend's pass card wasn't working fully and wouldn't let us out of that particular public area, so after a cleaner opened the door we wedged it with a thong (jandle, bro) and the security guard who was ghosting us got upset. When we made it clear we'd leave soon and didn't want to be locked in, so please don't remove the thong, he called for his manager who came up, stormed in, kicked the sandal away and looked to me for some confrontation, even stepping even further into my personal space than Khmer normally do. My friends haven't experienced racism before, which is startling as they're kiwis, and spent some time in deep though about it.

Re: New People
Not my feel when i was there 3weeks ago. As jamie said,only saw them on walking street at night in large groups, in the malls and there were some heading out on the speed boats
NONE on the beach, north pattaya, pattaya 3rd road , ( soi metro), Jomtien or across Sukumvit.
Phuket- only see them in the supermarkets an getting on and off their bus's, ( note i dont visit the tourist attractions but assume thats where they are headed)
Didn't see any in Chiang Rai or anywhere else i visited in Thailand
PS: i am a white American expat an find the use of the word Chink offensive and am surprised you use it

Re: New People
Apology I offended you. I'm a Chinese too and I used it like how a black person calls another the "n" word affectionately or jokingly without offence. I will stop using it here.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 8:15 amPS: i am a white American expat an find the use of the word Chink offensive and am surprised you use it

Re: New People
it is like this:
it is not racist if you characterize a majority.
is the word "whities" racist? why not?
it also depends on the geographic locus and more importantly who is asking.
it is very relative.
politically loaded too.
i am partial to the descriptor of colored though highly politically unpopular.
i would say the subjects of PRC, India, USA, and the square headed Russ are all legit targets, though the Yanks are impossible on ethnic grounds, seeing they are such mutts.
