Popular Post Seashore Posted May 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2018 As I was walking through Central Embassy ground floor today this is what they call an Art Display. Over 30 feet long, so very hard to miss. Totally inappropriate place to be! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grollies Posted May 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) This is nothing. During the wake for the late King, Tesco had a concession stall selling black teeshirts with 'wake the f u c k up' in massive letter on the front. We called management and explained how inappropriate these were. At last Children's Day our friends son was dressed up for a modern dance routine. His costume was shades, cool jeans and a garish tee shirt with a screaming skull and the words 'f u c k off w a n k e r s'' on the back - supplied by the school???

KittenKong Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's just a message to farang tourists from TAT, and it certainly made me laugh. Decades ago in France I saw a roadside sign for a pretty little hotel which read: CHAMBRES ZIMMER P*SS OFF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my previous significant other when the teen Daughter came out wering a T-shirt reading "<deleted> Me". She was sent to change after I asked if that is what she wanted to advertise ... embarassment all around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms22 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 What do you expect? Thais have absolutely no idea and care even less about foreign culture and foreign attitudes. Very little interest in properly engaging.... ....And that's what happens when a country becomes xenophobic. I'm sorry, but it is true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtklay Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 While I doubt that Thai youth have any comprehension of these words and phrases, it is still highly offensive to those of us who do. The same goes for images of Hitler and swastikas that they seem to proudly display. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Lin Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Ok, just ignore the kanji tattoos, stickers, and shirts popular in many western countries, or the blatant cultural appropriation and stereotyping in movies, because they can't possibly be offensive to other cultures. Sorry if it doesn't fit the narrative that the west is more cultured and aware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it doesn't fit the narrative that the west is more cultured and aware. Yes, ignorance across cultures is of course worldwide. You can see all sorts of funny uses of the English language in China [eg on the Great Wall outside Beijing: "Heart cerebral disease sufferer ascend the Great Wall to please watch for"]. And Westerners in Thailand offend Buddhist sensibilities every day of the year ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 its only offensive to thais when they are capable of reading it or understanding what it actually means, some of the wording on shirts they wear is laughable, saw one young teenage girl wearing a t shirt with "I luv to suck c*cks" written across it, how her parents would let her buy/ wear it is beyond me but would have to guess that they and her had no idea what it said/meant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telly Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 it's just an art piece for an ongoing art exhibition. lighten up please.
