Re: Bangkok Restaurant Refuses to Serve Foreigners
Submission: The Bangkok Restaurant Won’t Serve Foreigners!? So What?

A READER SUBMISSION:
Browsing social media I came across the video (OP Video] of the man who went to the restaurant in Bangkok and filmed it as proof that they wouldn’t serve foreigners in their establishment. The comments caught my attention, as everyone seemed to be truly upset about a restaurant that they would never likely eat in because it is in a 98% Thai area.
Firstly, if you had never planned on going, why do you care? If you had reservations for next week that you had to cancel because of the pigment of your skin, sure, I can see being a little upset. Just like it is anywhere else in the world, businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone and they likely don’t even have to give you a reason for their decision.
In this case, the gentlemen pushed his luck by asking for the owner’s phone number (as though that was somehow going to help). What all of the complainers may be failing to realize is that many of our foreign owned bars and establishments don’t service Thais and nobody complains. Aside from the local weed dealer and security, what Thai men have you ever seen having a grand-old-time on Walking Street? Surely, if you want to complain about Thais not accepting Farangs, you should also complain about Farangs not accepting Thais.
People look for anything to be offended about these days when really, it’s like this. We know that some places in Thailand have dual pricing for foreigners, we know that some restaurants won’t serve foreigners (This is no different than some Thai only bars), we know that Thai men aren’t allowed in a number of the discos and clubs on Walking Street (for some, Indians and Arabs are also on the “No Service” list). We know all of these things, so, if you don’t like these things, GO HOME, Thailand isn’t for you.
You could literally give these people the world’s most beautiful secret garden and they would complain about the mosquitoes.
