I have heard them referred to as bindi-eyes. If you stand on one, very painful. Much worse than a cockleburr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveller Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Why do you care? Or more importantly, if you were there to witness them then why did you not say something to them at the time? Instead you took a picture behind their backs, then post to an anonymous forum to complain about how "loud and obnoxious" they were. Well, hate to tell you this but there is absolutely NOTHING that any of us readers can do about it. It was you that had the opportunity to lecture them and educate them about Thai culture. But you didn't. Is your name Karen ? Edited October 15, 2023 by Time Traveller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lower socioeconomic Brit trash/Aussie bogan types are generally speaking utterly eneducatable with verbal communication.

DonniePeverley Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The bare feet is a hall mark of Australians. The worst still has to be the knobs who come with big back bags on their backs. Why not just get a suitcase, much easier to roll around too. But no .. they're back backers innit, and Thailand is cheap and they have to find themselves on some 'Leonardo The Beach' type scenario. Except Thailand isn't cheap and that era of 'finding undiscovered lands' has long gone. Now get behind the 1000000 other tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
