Despicable foreign tourist! Why a Thai's eyes almost "popped out of their sockets"!

Despicable foreign tourist! Why a Thai's eyes almost "popped out of their sockets"!

 

 

Thai Rath were having a field day blaming a western tourist for posing on a ledge at Thailand's holiest site.

 

The picture of the woman - referred to by male poster "Aditha But Adit" as a "mem" or western woman - was taken at Wat Phra Kaew or The Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok.

 

The woman was posing for her boyfriend and playing with her phone. The top of her legs had to be "vaselined" out to preserve a basic sense of modesty and decency.

 

Thai Rath used words that would be translated as inappropriate, despicable, disrespectful and contemptible.

 

While the poster himself chipped in: "My eyes just about popped out of their sockets when I saw this. 

 

"I was going over to tell her not to do that when she got down of her own accord".

 

Everybody said there is more than enough signage in the area to deter such wanton behavior.

 

And as the poster pointed out: Even if the miscreant had not seen a sign, how could she do such a disgraceful thing?

Another tourists there don't respect anything properly from Russia because there are signs where that say the rules in thai and English 

[NCC1701A]

what? there are other people in the world besides me?

 

this whole temple was not built for me so I can take photos of myself?

 

I do this sort of thing in Moscow all the time.

 

[observer90210]

So what interests me here, besides this couple of obvious uncouth farang jerks is.....is that can we conclude that the female had no panties and that her meeow was visible ?...if yes, please advise so that we can pursue the research and find the uncensored photo !!

[JSixpack]

Farang tourists be farang tourists. However, I did know a Thai girl who confided to me (she could never tell a Thai) that she and her Thai boyfriend once found a small room in Wat Arun with no one around and there she lost her virginity. Always smile about that when I see the Wat or pictures thereof.

[poohy]

Seems these holier than holier Thais love been outraged.. get a life for gods sake 

 

Coming from a nation that has no control over littering millions of uncared for stray dogs a disgraceful education system and a corrupt government guess its good to be outraged over something!

...don't just sit there airing it out do something with it.....555

His eyes were popping out of their sockets. Yeah, right, but not out of disgust.

 

No one was hurt by this at the time. That started when he decided to post in on Facebook. He only posted it on Facebook to get likes, not because he was concerned about any sacrilege.  

[chippendale]

Faux outrage. Pompous nonsense.

If she is Russian I doubt that she would do "that sort of thing", dressed like that, in a Russian Orthodox cathedral.

 

That would be the equivalent behaviour.

 

That's tourists......unlike their own precious traditions, those of the rest of the world aren't "serious".

 

They don't really have an interest in what is around them....everywhere else is just a "location" wherein they can arrange and admire themselves.

 

The indigenous architecture, objects and people merely sets, props and extras.

Some people need to relax a bit, mainly religious people...

It's a building, that's all.... It might hold significant meaning to some people, of that faith, but not everyone.

She wasn't running around naked, she was sitting on a ledge having her photo taken. Who was the perv trying to get an "up shot" :)

[Samui Bodoh]

Despicable? No, not really.

 

Stupid and culturally insensitive? Certainly.

 

Thailand, the answer is simple. If you do not want to see culturally-insensitive actions, then close the sights and lose the revenue/monies.

 

Easy. And no more outrage.

That´s todays way to make a modern and beautiful picture. By all means, do not look into the camera.

We all know why that was happening, don´t we? What a sexist thing to say. Almost can call that a verbal rape.

[mark01]

Thai moral police at it again.

While culturally insensitive, there's bigger issues to get on your high horses about in the land of false smiles.

Just another nobody trying to get a piece of Facebook fame going on. I don’t even understand why so many people still waste their life on Facebook, maybe it’s because they are unhappy with their non existent life. I know more than one person who leads an unhappy and depressing life but meticulously fabricates a glamorous day to day lifestyle to fool the majority of friends into believing that this is what’s really going on, whilst sitting at home with cheap food in a rat and cockroach infested apartment, dreaming of how nice everything was 10 years ago. 

 

It’s the same old same old, why didn’t the “kind” poster educate the naive tourist ( who is just human like everybody else) about her precious countries do’s and dont‘s.........

So early and I already learned something. So far, I was mistaken in believing the banks belong to the holiest sites in this country.

I guess since she paid 10 times as much as Thais, she thought that got her Thailand Elite status

[Sydebolle]

The smaller picture insert says it all - according to Thais. 

I - for one - would have NEVER interpreted that sign as a „not sit into a window or on a threshold“. 

But it is like everything else, they want the tourists money and apply Thai-style to everything. Go to Chom Thian, Jomtien, Hat Jomthian, Jomein, Jom Tien or Chomtien beach and you end up on the same place. Correct English spelling of Pattaya would more accurately read „Pattyea“.

What surprises me among this complete visa mess and the ongoing bashing of those tourists is - why on earth are they still coming? 

[hansnl]

Do the "affronted" Thai people, affronted because of the stupid antics of foreign tourists, ever ask themselves how many times foreign tourists are angry about the antics of Thai people.

Simply that the shrine does not have the significance to her that it has to locals. They seem quick to condemn the actions of those with child like ignorance, but their own actions are ignored.

 

The woman has shown no respect, to whine about it on social media serves little purpose, perhaps action at the time would have been more appropriate. Or simply stop using the holiest site as a money making tourist trap!

The boring raised to stratospheric proportions to create hate on both sides. 

[DefaultName]

Well, while many would see sitting or putting feet on a Buddha or similar image as wrong, this was a WALL for goodness sake!

 

Which parts of the site are holy anyway?  What about the paving, people put their feet on that all the time - or is that allowed?  

 

In the local Wat my TG goes to, there's a line of seated Buddha's, in the shade under a stone walkway, with a ledge a metre or so behind them.  I often sit there for a nice, quiet, cool(ish) reprieve from the busy streets.  Monks nod & smile, not one has yet said no sitting.  OK, it isn't decorated like the one in the photo, but it's still in a Wat.  Where is the line drawn?

Hey, she removed her shoes before climbing the structure.
