Another kind of Thai racism

Quite wrong, nothing whatsoever to do with groups.

And as for the OP, quite ridiculous, will you boycott everywhere that gives a special offer to the elderly?

I was full of hope that everybody understands that with "groups" is meant: skin color, nationality and religion.

But that would be bigotry, not racism

You were out of context with a word that should never be used lightly, "racism" is based on the perception of biological difference.

Is it racist? Not if you are an Indian. They would not get away with it anywhere else but... TiT.

 

Can't see the Indians going for it anyway, they prefer Indian food and there are many Indian restaurants to choose from in Pattaya.

 

An Indian would still want extra discount anyway!

The segment of Indians that wear a turban is rather minor, 1.7 %. We don't seem to get a disproportionate number of them here as tourists. Actually they might well be Thai residents, many Sikhs are,  rich business and land owners.
