  1. “I am of aware of the video. However, just because one group of tourists act like this, doesn’t mean that all of them will,” said Santi Pawai, director of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports Phuket Office.

    I'm sure the director has never seen swarms of Chinese locusts acting like rotary hoes at a buffet.

    That's why Singapore's Hotel-Restaurants felt forced to charge the greedy for their piled up left overs!

  2. Everything loaned has to be payed back. Even if you get at preferential rates one day reality kicks in. It's a hard lesson to learn and I learnt it many years ago with a out of control credit card. Then bad times came and unable to pay back.. Tough times but we have the ability and opportunities to go out and work hard and earn big money hourly and weekly. Thais don't have same option due to workplace, minimum wage and lack of education.. I feel for them but the last poster is right as the banks have just loaned and not addressed the ability to pay back.

    Everything loaned has to be payed back.

    Too bad that the majority does not consider this to be a part of Thainess.

  3. On my first day in Singapore, I was wondering why they charge people extra for leftovers from an "all you can eat" buffet. Having breakfast the next morning I learned,- this is the only way for a restaurant with Chinese customers to survive.

    Some of them even came with plastic bags in their Louis Vuitton handbags to bring as much as possible home. Now you can imagine why all Chinese Buddha statues are fat, while the original (Gautama) was not.

  4. these taxi drivers are our front line into the country and it is important that tourists are treated well from the beginning they need to get off to a good start to their holidays.

    "Are our frontline into the country"

    Are you Thai?

    "Are our frontline into the country"

    You mean after being ripped off, double priced, robbed, injured in a bus accident, forced to undergo a urine test in public, or beaten up by a katoey they will forgive and forget because they surly enjoy the ride to the airport on their way home, with a cabbie in a white shirt and tie?
