Popular Post BangkokReady Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 37 minutes ago, Neeranam said: Are all the Thais living in your country "guests"? Do people in your country have the all the right in the world to tell Asians immigrants what to do? In my experience if a Western person is in a non-Western country the attitude is: "We are guests in their country so we should follow their culture". Then when a non-Western person is in a Western country it's: "They are guests in our country so we should accommodate their culture". The same rule pretty much exists for legal issues as well. This dual attitude makes it kind of challenging to adjust for Westerners travelling overseas. But, overall, we are aware that we are second class citizens, are afforded little protection by the law and should behave as such. The "we are guests" narrative is really just a cover for the blatant xenophobia that we have to tolerate. It's not from everyone, but it's always there hovering in the background. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 35 minutes ago, Logosone said: And that's exactly the problem, all the people who don't complain and just accept this mask hysteria. That is why the mask hysteria is taking such dangerous form, as we saw with this Thai facebook site that calls for foreigners to be physically attacked when they don't wear a mask. All the defenders of such actions share responsibility for the extreme effects of mask hysteria. People should complain and refuse to wear a mask. I know I will. Too many other things to worry about. After you wear one a few times you forget about it. Just not a big deal and you make other folks more comfortable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be put in jail if I went to the Indian corner shop and told the family that they are only guests and I have "all the right in the world" to complain about something they are doing. Now you are arguing just for the sake of arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) How much spit was spat? Rather over the top getting a water truck to hose down the pavement. Edited April 8, 2020 by Neeranam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Definitely anti-social and disgusting behavior, but I have seen Thais close one nostril with a finger and eject snot onto the ground!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I hope the spitters are found, identified and charged for their disgusting behavior, right after a lot of Thais who do this behavior are also caught and charged. The 2 tier law system in Thailand is disgusting. Everybody should be treated equally. Just like Thais get away without wearing helmits and driving around without having licenses. Equality people, equality is fair. Geezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 There are some nationalities for whom spitting is quite a normal reaction when angry. I could name a few but I won't. I'm thankful that Brits are not in that category. We Brits get a lot of stick, but spitters we are not (generally). So if this story is true, I can almost guarantee we're in the clear ????

Gumballl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 17 hours ago, ThreeEyedRaven said: Here we go again. No mention of where these people were from, just the generic foreigner term used, so could have been from Cambodia or anywhere. Spitting on the floor at this time is pretty dumb, but the reaction seems to be excessive. There seems to be the mistaken belief that masks will save them all, and those without are deliberately trying to infect everyone else. And every excuse to have a dig at foreigners has no shortage of Thais, many of whom also spit on the floor, ready to unload their hatred. Maybe they were denied entry to the store because they were not carrying their passports?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauGR1 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Storm in a teacup. If we consider how much stressed everybody is from this situation, i am surprised that locals and foreigners mostly behave in a civilised way. Keep calm, stay healthy.

brokenbone Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 civilized customers respond to unwelcome policies such as mask enforcement or double pricing by voting with their feet ( shop elsewhere for those that didnt pick up on american sayings). this is an uncivilized response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the "Farmer's Hankerchief".. Permissible in an open field, perhaps.. No actual photos of the spitting "foreigners" from the link in the OP..

overherebc Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Remember the UK tv show Alas Smith and Jones? For a while they had 'Gob of the week' Compilation of football players with various ways of spitting and the one nostril clearing.

In Thailand we are only wearing a mask to fit in so the locals don't get over excited about it. If they said you now have to wear a banana on your head we would comply with that too (Caveat, masks are beneficial if someone has symptoms. The masks generally available i.e. cotton ones are ineffective, but wear them and stop talking sense) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
