Strikes me it's an ASEAN problem and should be add dressed in that forum.

Misterwhisper Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I figure many among us would actually stop Thai bashing or at least considerably tone down our admittedly sometimes quite insulting and harsh rhetoric... if only we weren't showered on a practically daily basis with absolute hogwash news pieces like this one sprinkled with idiotic, sanity-defying quotes from assorted "experts". What irks me particularly in this article is that - once again - the onus for being "quality" and "responsible" is squarely shifted to the tourists, while local people and authorities are apparently not expected nor required to heed these very same attributes.

Guderian Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 They want quality and responsibility so they're looking to China and India for most of their new tourists. That makes as much sense as saying there's no prostitution in Pattaya. What is wrong with these people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggers Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It's time Thailand started to recognise it's responsibility to tens' of thousands of Expat who either work & live here or retired's who live here!! For some reason, we're treated as 2nd class persons & required to 'form fill' to extreme!! When in fact, provide huge support to the Thai Economy, day in, day out, 365 days a year!! That amounts to some 100+ Billion Baht a year, at least!!! Wake up Thailand!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two of the many concepts that Thais in general have ZERO conception of - let alone eagerness to practise and implement themselves (while demanding it from others).

natway09 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 And when good Sir are you going to get out of your high chair & have a look at what you are providing,, rat infested sewerage contaminated cities with very few beaches left that are even safe to swim in & the quality tourists are turning up from China in their bus loads with absolutely no care for whats left of the environment & no infrastructure in place to combat it. The degradation is getting near to the point of no return unless Thailand starts using some of it's ill gotten gains from tourism to create a sustainable environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chivo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 6 hours ago, MRToMRT said: This is just click bait with a paraphrased text that misses out what he actually said. Read the original, he clearly states that quality and responsibility is aimed at the whole sector of tourism especially tourism services providers. He also says he is talking about both the Thai and foreign sectors of tourists. The OP is just designed so we get rattled, post and therefore refresh page ads more. Like so many of the so called articles on TV of late. Your post makes sense. While there are a lot of baffling happenings within thai news, many stories are steered toward even more absurd proportions to generate more views thus increasing what they can charge advertisers.
