ahh Indians on flights don't understand Jai Yen

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Is this thread really necessary?
The Indians seemed to be doing an OK job of bashing each other.

German guests tend to drink a lot, French guests don't tip, Chinese will clean out the entire buffet in 3 seconds, Vietnamese let their kids run amok, Israelis will want a rebate on everything, and so on.
And the English?

Polite and uncomplaining?
I think I never had any issues with the English. Might be different on Mallorca, but the Poms I had were usually very nice.

Yeah, probably the more discerning ones ventured to Vietnam. Benidorm in July might be a different story.

One shouldn't generalize but, after more than 30 years in the hotel business, Indians are definitely in the top 5 of my personal "worst guests" list. Though I have also made great friends with Indian guests over the years.
Would like to hear your top 5. My friend also working in hotel industry long time his top 5 are:

1. Israelis
than long time nothing

2-5 Chinese, Indians, The Brits, Russians

Ha ha, so happy not to work in the tourism industry or have to make a living from it. They are mostly obnoxious, pompous and rude wherever you meet them, it all depends on their social class. The more conflict they encounter at home, the more aggressive they are abroad. The less educated they are, the more they seem to be oriented against their host country. That's what you learn as an expat or long-term immigrant, that no one really cares about anything other than their own place of birth. the food they ate when they were young, the music they listened to. The Land of Smiles is really only found in select locations with trained staff who can handle the challenge with unruly short-term visitors in general. Here, it seems that the reputation of all nationalities is in serious question, due to the recent affordability of the region in general. I would say that the good salary offered to specialized staff in the tourism industry is well deserved.
