poohy Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited June 11, 2020 by poohy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

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. Edited June 11, 2020 by JackThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 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.

Traubert Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'd be mildly upset if Noi from Rita's Bar said she wouldn't 'entertain' foreigners any more but a temple? Meh........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofthemountain Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
