You aren't a spokesman for the World .

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...

its not your business and its not something to cry about online
if they spoilt your atmosphere, then just go elsewhere

why is it not my business if they were in my vicinity and disturbed me with their piggish mannerisms?

They are just on holiday.

I also disagree with this.

 

It is the Ops business, a table of people came in to the cafe and negatively disturbed his experience - that directly impacts him.

 

- Why should the Op ignore something that directly impacts him ?

- If the were smoking inside, would you ignore it and just go elsewhere ?

 

Taking stinky food into another establishment which sells food, opening it and then eating it is very poor form and the staff should have dealt with that sitaution there and then.

 

The issue here as that people behaved poorly, the staff ignored it... and the Op decided to make a thread about it.

 

The Op actually hasn't done anything wrong at all here... he didn't escalate a situation by getting involved etc where as others may well have spoke up and got involved in an argument. 

 

 

The op is getting attacked by people with some rather poorly thought out and stupid arguments.

it is not his business as in it is not his coffee shop
people should focus more on themselves
if the OP does not like the atmoshpere in that coffee shop there are plenty of others
nobody is "attacking" the OP
what is it with the "i am so offended" crowd these days....

you hounding me now ?
