From what I see, Indians come in groups and are mostly men. So , not much imagination needed to know why they come to Thailand.

How do you know this? I have been to India albeit 30 years ago.  People rotting & dying right in front of you.

Population then about 800 million.Now its 1.4 billion and racing upward to 2 billion.

Middle class Indians dominate the demographic  in LOS?

Middle class Indians are actually people earning more than US$ 2/ hour.

Bring it on TAT!!!!

 

I agree and I visited India last year. Take a pair of sh*t kickers because you'll be stepping in plenty of it as you watch the people rotting & dying before your eyes especially in Delhi. I won't be returning ever.

Oh so you did say all of the above . Now to explain to you how and why it’s true. Because all those Chinese package tours are hungry , so they go to 7-11 nearest to where they stay to buy mama and junk as eating wherever they are taken is double the normal price as restaurants double their prices to pay tour companies up to 50% for bringing tour groups.

 

Now happy trolling ????

Well, I went to Phuket stayed at expat Hotel. There a 7/11 across the main street. Groups of Chinese would go in and buy mama and snacks. The smart ones would go into the Big C center inside the mall near McDonald's. Next to McDonald's is a big seafood restaurant with a bunch of tiger decorations. It stayed empty of Chinese. Chinese bargain everything and I bet they tried to bargain their Mama from 7/11. This is how Chinese stay rich and Indians too by bargaining. 

An Indian from India would rather hustle his way into getting money beforehand rather than come to a foreign country and start beg-packing. Begging is seen as the lowest of lows for any class of Indian with a passport.

Yup, and don't shake hands because its used to wipe their bung. Maybe some posters experience with Indians is limited to seeing them in Thailand. But maybe you'll think different when you visit their country. Same with China when I visited Shanghai to meet a friend. When I was taken to the countryside I was shocked how nasty people are. Wai is a good practice with the rich or poor.

Pretty clever those Chinese, and the 7/11 assistants, being able to bargain in English, Hindi, Bengali, Mandarin, Cantonese and Thai. How did they pick all that up in the rubbish Thai education system?

 

I tell you, they dont pay those kids enough.

 

By the way, assuming you're talking about Patong, if you'd gone across the road you would have found legions of Chinese wolfing down plate after plate of seafood in the night market.

Went there and and the Chinese I saw were bargaining before wolfing down their overly high prices. Just like the overly high transportation being bargained down. We all have different experiences. So we can agree to disagree.

Multi-lingual food stall holders too?

 

What a thriving, cosmopolitan, melting pot Phuket is nowadays.

 

In fairness, quite a few people in the tourist trade have picked up some simple Mandarin, but Chinese don't try to bargain in shelf priced supermarkets or convenience stores. They have bar codes in China too you know.

The end of tourism will be when they welcome Nigerians ...

Lol! They feel they don't need whites and Nigerians. Cambodia's and Vietnam's tourism is good and they welcome everyone. There are just wannabe racist in Thai visa forum. Because a so called 'pure blood' would not be with any minority. And the last time I looked a Thai doesn't have "pure" Nordic qualities. As a matter of fact most most whites are minorities too to a purist.

You are stuck on multilingual. Most socalled rich Chinese use English just like I do when I go to 7/11.

Ain't no rich folks in Pattaya....the really rich ones prefer Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles,

Gold Coast, the Mediterranean etc.

 

It's just run of the mill horny males who take holidays in Pattaya.

 

True for all nationalities.

You do know that members of the "family we cannot mention" live and shop and exist in Pattaya?  I was in Foodland one day when they closed the store so they could shop.  

I don’t think so if someone rich will come here.There are plenty of places around the world that rich will travel to.

Just a couple of photos of the big Indian nightclubs in Pattaya. Makes you wonder how they make money being full of 4 guys sharing one drink.

"OR", just maybe its just a myth.

 

 

Yes can see so many drinks in the first photo......NOT.

 

3 tables to right have no drinks on at all, and no one holding drinks in hands apart from a few girls.

Troll post and response removed.

The Go Go bars won't be happy that's for sure !

Rich Indians???..Now that Thailand has screwed over every cash cow that has attempted to enjoy the country..they reach even deeper...good luck

Rich Indians Where ? i have never ever seen any in bkk or pattaya they buy a bottle of beer and share for 3 of them . Is this another Walter Mitty Story to cover how their Tourism is Crashing Now ? As what i have seen in pattaya and bkk no one there in pattaya as beach is Low on Chinese and Indians and Asking All White guys please sit down i Saw it With my own eyes. The working people in these places must be struggling to keep afloat with no white tourists there as i have seen over the last 1 1/2 years tourism all round is down for sure they cant lie forever the people see it there .

I think at the end of the day, they’ll mainly  be visiting Pattaya or anywhere that has tourist go-go bars...... temples, beaches etc India has plenty of already.

Certainly won't if most of them defecate outside the entrance door

Doesn't Thailand need tourist and retiree loot? Why is Thailand cracking down on those legitimate people who want to vacation and retire in Thailand it's beyond me! Pretty soon they'll be begging for people to return.

How long before the Indians ‘extraordinary racism in Thailand towards Indian people’ makes them want to go elsewhere? It’s not hard to find better places in Southeast Asia.

If tourism gets so bad, Thais will bite their tongue and welcome the Indians, money is money. Lets not kid ourselves, they did the same thing for the farangs.
