Dave0206 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Thailand is so lucky to have so many " concerned citizens " I'm sure most thai guides still need a native speaker of what ever group they are conducting indian or Chinese so now we are going into a floating market please buy a lot at these overpriced rip offs so I can get my commission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Is there something like quality control for Thai tour guides? Because if they would all work just fine then nobody would have a motivation to hire a foreigner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese want to be guides of their own tour group, so they can take them to their Chinese business, Hotels, gem shops, restaurants, Etc. Etc. Just like the no dollar tours before nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
