THAI & DRY Will Thailand be the next country to tire of boozy Brits? Locals overrun by drunk tourists behaving badly in country’s top holiday spots

[alant]

Why single out Brits? Would not say the pictures indicated they were Brits?

I've seen plenty of documentaties about Ibiza, Salou and the rest of the coast there and it's always the britts behaving the worst. The other ones also get drunk but still can behave better.

 

Well can you show us a video where the german girls behave like the britts? 

There is no need, just go to Google videos and type in 'Drunk German Girls' and there are plenty of them.

Or did you want Gazzpa to do that for you?

Indeed there are. But this article is from The Sun. A newspaper not even fit to wrap your fish'n'chips in! 

 

So they'll only report about the British. Won't occur to them that the Full Moon parties are frequented by young people of many nationalities, as is Pattaya, Cambodia and other destinations where young people head for a good time.

 

The Sun sees the world as British, Aussies and Johnny Foreigner - good old Murdoch!

It doesn't fit his anti British agenda to actually do any research.

THAILAND is often the first stop for Brits who fancy an exotic holiday – and also want to party hard.

this behavior spills over on us, the expat community, until we validate that we are not tourists, example, speaking thai well, the thais consider us as tourists also;

and we too , that live in well-known tourist areas,hate the tourist farang

It's The Sun. Not renowned for its professional journalism mate. And totally inward looking.

And who made those documentaries? 

 

Plenty of French girls behaving badly when drunk, Germans, Swedes, Dutch, Aussies, Americans etc. The common denominators are youth, alcohol and occasionally drugs; but mainly too much alcohol. Just do some research.

 

Ever been to a Full Moon party?

 

None as blind as them who don't want to see; or them who filter everything through their bias.

Thailand doesn't need drunken tourists from any country.  They come here and think it's a free to do as you like .... 

then when the sh_t hits the fan they cry wolf.  

 

Tourists, and we're talking off young tourists out for a good time or men out for booze and sex, go to other countries, to do enjoy themselves. Only their idea of enjoyment isn't always the same as how they'd behave at home.

 

Even those on family holidays, here for beach, tours, culture etc dress and behave differently.

 

Sometimes that behavior is inappropriate and needs to be dealt with.

Read TV long enough and see. If TV is any fair representation--which is debatable--the Brits outnumber all comers in reported drunken tales. I know more Brits who cannot hold their alcohol than any other nationality I see here. However, there are a lot of Brits here--not sure if that is beneficial or not to this story.

"The country’s relaxed attitude to alcohol"

Cant buy alcohol between the hours of blah blah blah.

No bars or shops allowed to sell alcohol on blah blah blah days. 

There is no relaxed attitude to alcohol here. Even less so if you live near a school.

Speak for yourself. You hate people who take a holiday ?

I prefer those who like to let their hair down when on vacation rather than some holier than thou stuck in the mud wanna be plastic Thai.

[geriatrickid]

Fortunately, aside from the ghetto strip, one does not see such idiocy in Hua Hin.

Perhaps the key is to have a pricing strategy that discourages such people.

[anon4637435435]

Thais never drink, act stupid and such...(sarchastic).

Thailands social behaviours i think encourage the drunk idiodic tourists. Its equality. When in rome....

[gunderhill]

Thankfully no Thai  villagers ever  touch a drop, oh wait?? wasn't  the road  casualty figures in order, Drink driving, and speeding?? Bloody  tourists

I figure it's selective enforcement, bigotry and Thai media bias against Brits, mate, judging from the preponderance of items about Brits misbehaving, yet not nearly so many about many other Europeans. Same as those banned Brit soccer fan bans in the past...all just hateful xenophobia against those respectful, innocent, well-meaning, but just noisy Brits....

....and I always thought it was the Ugly American.....

Perhaps the key is having a society with 65+ years old;)

[shackleton]

The Sun newspaper loves to Brit bait especially in Thailand 

Its all for Thai bashing 

the Thais themselves could not care less what the British papers print 

as long as the boozy Tourist Brits keep coming and spending their money 

If you smoke even better could be some money to be made at the beach resorts 

tips welcome

A derogatory troll post has been removed.

[Jai Dee]

A troll post referring to "Island Apes" has been removed from this thread.

 

Further use of such derogatory and racist terms will result in account suspension.

From your statement it sounds as if you have not been here a long time? There is a racist attitude that goes on, and the tourists just get a harder end of the stick. If there was no media like the Sun or social media internet exchanges, most all of these escapades would never be seen. In this case the Sun and publishing this and everything is the culprit glorifying it to where everyone in Thailand can see it. FYI. I am accepted as one would get over here so nothing will effect me from some young adults 18-30's getting a bit out of hand. My look and way I carry myself validates itself without uttering a word.

 

No one hates the tourist farang so much, but my guess is that maybe they hate the expats more moving in in the hundreds of thousands stinking up the Thai landscape as when ever they turn around there again is an expat staring them in the face. I would gather this more than the other. 

[strewth mick]

To answer the question....will Thailand tire of boozy Brits?

 

No way.

 

Apparently tourism is 15% (understated figure) of the Thai economy.....boozy Brits must represent a good chuck of this income so they must stay.

I wonder why Thais do not behave like this when abroad ?   Hmmm ....

Why would they need to go abroad to behave like this?

 

Last Friday, here in CM, whilst taking my to school at 7am, 3 young, drunken Thai (Bar?) girls managed to halt the traffic by staggering drunkenly down the middle of the road, one crying (loudly) and the other two weaving all over the place..

 

It implies they were late night/early morning drinkers in a local bar on that street, possibly underage, - no policemen in sight - no different really, to the kind of incident splashed all over this headline!

 

This is Thailand. Drunken driving is widespread, drunken policemen on motorbikes and at checkpoints videod  and drunken foreigners of all nationalities depicted in the tourist hot spots, Russian, European, Aussie, American, whatever, not to mention rampant drunkeness from Lao Khao all over the country in villages - kind of normal really......

 

Maybe Thais are 'holier than thou' when abroad, I don't know. But Brits are no worse than anyone else, I can assure you!
