Pattaya drama! Thai woman claims that temple was just for Chinese people - not Thais!

It may well have been a situation where she was told that she could not enter because it was already overcrowded with Chinese tour groups at that time. Miscommunication or selective outrage.

Her video contained captions such as "Thais can't go in"

She's lucky it's free entry for all, my local temple has started to charge tourists to enter.

Typical Thai xenophobia!  They promote tourism but expect no personal consequences.  There is no shortage of available temples.  If your favorite is full then select another.

Yes but maybe your entrance ticket number will win you the lottery.

The local people are pi_- rd off with the Chinese going to the temple ,,in fact we pass it regularaly and in the last year or two its just become a Chinese tourist attraction ,always loads of buses parked there and tourists wandering around ,plus loads of stalls have opened up in the vicinity.

There's a temple not too far down the road from the MBK shopping mall where I tried to go inside and was told it was for Thai's only.  I went back there a couple of years later in Monks robes, they welcomed me like I was the second coming of the Messiah.  ha ha ha

What a shame!

You need to report it to the authorities

Buddhist temple entry is free everywhere in Thailand

if you have a correct outfit and a respectful behavior

even at the famous Wat Pho in Bangkok

the fee is for the mandatory shoes deposit, not for the temple entry.
