Officials Say Temples Can Deny Entry To Foreigners, Because Virus

[Matzzon]

Please! read all this, relevant people. Think about if you want threads that always talks about Thailand as a racist country in this forum.

[poohy]

Well IMHO they can stick their temples and robbing orange inhabitants where the sun doesn't shine.

 

I haven't visited one apart from 2 funerals in the last 15 years no need to get excited about a visit now.

 

Lastly in my rant  as ar as i can work out after living here 21 years most thais hate other thais outside of the immediate family or immediate  area, (and trust them even less) so not to much to worry about

Xenophobic and racist 100% in a country of zero new infections locally. And yet people criticize what is going on in the UK and USA with racism.

So are you going to start a street protest like that in the USA?

 

Wait.... we're not even citizens....

Maybe we should start pulling down statues of Buddha?

Want to bet that if we did, the Thais would not kneel down in front of us - begging for forgiveness for not giving us enough excuses for chronic anti-social behavior - and not enough special advantages not given to those with their own physical characteristics? 

Oh, wait, Thais never did that.  Looks like they made the right call.

Their temples. Their decision.

Give it a couple of months when the donations drop off and they will open up again, and TAT will be dreaming up another Thailand slogan for tourists to visit.

I'd be mildly upset if Noi from Rita's Bar said she wouldn't 'entertain' foreigners any more but a temple?

 

Meh........

[kingofthemountain]

People need to calm down a little bit

i see nothing ''racist'' here,

Originally a temple is not a tourist attraction, it's a place where

believers come to pray. Actualy the monks are forced to limit the number

of people in the temple at the same time, i don't see something wrong to

give the priority to the Thai bouddhists, after all it's their country, their temple

and their religion. Do you want the thai bouddhist be denied acces to their temple

just because some random foreign tourists want to visit it? Seriously...

If any western country did this they would be banded as racist and xenophobic. With all that is going in the world right now it's a stupid thing to do. Clearly they won't be opening up for international travellers any time soon.

 

This could be the first of many anti foreigner bans.

Fortunately we are not in a western country here in Thailand.

 

One of the reasons i have left my country of origin is that

the hysterical anti racists associations have paralyzed every

needed change in the country since years, and the result is

now there is more racism everywhere.

 

In normal time (Not now because they are closed) do you know the

Thais men are not allowed to enter in gogobars?

Have you ever heard of thai men protesting about the racism

to be denied entry in a bar in their country?

Nope, because there is no racism in the decision,

 

And it's the same here for the temple, just few good reasons.

Not because an alleged racism

(Anyway afaik thai or foreigner aren't races)

Maybe he was allowed to go in because he was with you

or maybe this gogo has a different rule, but if he wants to

go alone or with others thai men in for example The Windmill a gogo, he will be

denied to entry, i invite you to check their website they are very clear about it

in the FAQ

''

MY MALE THAI FRIEND WAS REFUSED ENTRANCE TO THE WINDMILL. WHY?

As with the majority of other A Go Go bars in Pattaya, we do not admit Thai males who are unknown to our security staff. Please consult a Manager to discuss this matter.

I don't doubt it, seen plenty of Indians get turned away from go go bars in Cowboy and Nana plaza.

it's foreigners.

As i writed only 30 people are allowed in the temple at the same time

nothing wrong for me to reserve this 30 places to thai people. And yes

they check the ID national thai card of each visitor before the entry.

From the link in the first page of this topic 

 

“ONLY THAI PEOPLE, NOW NOT OPEN FOR FOREIGNERS,” announced a  sign in front of Wat Pho, known internationally as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha....

 

The temple also said that Thai visitors must wear masks before entering and have a temperature lower than 37.5. Only 30 visitors are allowed in at a time....''

Yes Ubonjoe deserve a capital letter to his name and a statue in front of the immigration office

he has helped (Me included) and help again hundreds of people with clear and accurate advises.
