  • Who cares. These local touts and tour guides are inept, arrogant and aggressive. They don't deserve to serve tourists who are there on holiday trying to enjoy themselves. All they do is rip them off a

Thomas Cook did not operate boats, shops, buses, latex shops etc, all under proxies.

When it is said that no money stays in Thailland, does this mean that the Chinese stay in hotels, eat, shop, use buses and taxis all for free?  Apparently, only the tour organizer and guides are Chinese.  It's just ignorant to say no money stays in Thailand.

 

Maybe, there would be Thai guides if they spoke Chinese.

Exactly. Just like bangkok taxis complaining that people use grab. They regularly fleece, cheat, lie and steal from tourists. It’s actually really quite disgusting the manner in which Thais in the tourism industry treat their guests.

It's been like that for years and you can bet it's a lot more than 50% going back to China!!
