On a thread by a Brit complaining offensively about another nationality.

But you didnt comment about that, because in your Brit eyes that is fine.

Those in glass houses.

 

I dont have a problem with people enjoying themselves. Menopausal moaners are annoying though.

And I wasnt offensive /aggressive in my post, unlike the OP.

 

You do realise there is no law in Thailand that says you have to pretend to like people.

Get over yourself.

 

Bit touchy, I will always point out your fixation, you have a problem with British folk, near every day a dig, now do you think I am the only one that reads here........?

 

Brits and sex stuff and being nosey is your thing, very strange...........

They would be complaining that the girls are not smiling, always on their phones, too old, too fat, the music is too loud, too modern etc etc

You know what they are like.

And you'd gleefully happy sitting in a bar with miserable , old fat grannys who are looking at their phone and listening to Justin Biebers latest hit and sitting thinking about whinging poms ?

I have quite often seen Australians trying to start fights in bars, just for their own entertainment, When I was in Thailand, the usual nationality for starting fights or going on a drunken shouty rampage were Australians . 

  Having a few beers and then having some aggroo seem to be a national past time ...............rather like what you are doing now , trying to cause a fight

I agree lots of badly behaved bogans. I don't like them either. They go to Pattaya with the bad Brits.

The chef advised me it might not be a bad idea to live in Jomtien, she didn't really enjoy being around most of her customers(most were from India or China). 

I've seen FB Marketplace property for rent that stated "We do not accept Chinese or Indian".

Back to Chinese bashing again.  Low-hanging fruit for discussion, 'eh?

Given the over-abundance of source material it's pretty hard to pass up.

I've seen similar behavior my Chinese tourists in several countries.

In some countries business owners set up special toilets with signs in chinese directing then to use these. It's not because of their propensity for leaving toilets sparkling clean either.

I'll quote myself and simply highlight the 3 parts that should point out I certainly wasn't upset about her advisory.

 

"Waitress, instead of thinking, 'ding dong farang, can't park there' informed me, odd days, you need to park on other side of street.

 

Thank You"

Okay so you were being thankful for the advice. Fair enough. Yes that does make a lot more sense now I re-read it.

Do they hit the rim, or is it a case of log jam?

Wow, you must be fun at parties. Mr. Pefectin every way. Getting so excited about tiny subjects, must bring you great pleasure.

 

Take a break and calm down.

Over the first few years living here I too was irritated /puzzled /offended /shocked/angry/scared of things I observed here.

 

It's taken me nearly six years to finally realize that :

1. Nothing will change here because I don't like it, whether a major or minor incident.

2. Reacting or engaging in any way with either the offenders or their victims is highly likely to land me in the hospital or jail, or even taking a dirt bath.

3. The energy /thought/ emotion I expended on these reactions was not well spent.

4. My peacefulness and contentment in life, here and abroad, increases proportionally to how much I learn to ignore things that don't really mean much or affect me at all.

5. If I am directly affected by events I need to scale my response proportionally to the actual harm I suffer.

Paying twice as much as a Thai national to enter a park or watching the daily spectacle of 'Thais Behaving Badly' do not qualify. Indeed, 95% of the nonsense I observe does not qualify. Few things that are apt to elicit a cortisol barrage do qualify.

 

On the other hand I guess these things do help keep the lights on at Asean Now apparently. Everybody needs a hobby I guess. Seriously? Six pages in this thread about some Chinese people eating lunch.

Tried to correct the bold formatting but it doesn't seem possible. The editor on this forum site is seriously flawed. But again, I refuse to get upset about it.

No, there were eating their own stuff in a restaurant business that sells food.

On top of that, this is a chat forum, this forum is also a business.............????

the sign at the side of their table that read ‘no outside food or drink allowed.’

Maybe if the sign said "不允许携带外食或饮料" they would understand.
Did you not translate for them?

last I checked we were in Thailand, not China.

 

Why on earth would they have signs in Chinese?

 

and btw, they had images stating that food was banned. 

 

They should have got the point from those, but they didnt.

Why?

Only they know that answer to that...

my point was more, just mind your own business and enjoy your own coffee
its not your business and its not something to cry about online
if they spoilt your atmosphere, then just go elsewhere
