Tourists behaving badly: Locals protest for better respect

[spidermike007]

Thailand is learning the hard way, that quantity over quality is never a good thing. And they are also seeing that complete and total refusal to look within, take responsibility, and address the problems that plagued the nation prior to covid, means lower end tourism.

 

Affluent and rich tourists are far less tolerant of nonsense. They don't have to be. Too many other options.

I think them guys in TAT should get out to the Caribbean and Jamaica and see how they do it and how the hotels are run, far superior to Thailand, take a walk along cable beach in the Bahamas

Just ban all Brits for 12 months. Thais have never been against a bit of racism now and then. OR:

Invest in education, industry, high tech development and forget the tourists.

Some locals behaving badly is a poor excuse for foreigners doing the same.

To the title ... just charge the idiots more, to make it worth it to put up with them.  Supply & Demand ... the ignorant ones won't realize they have choices in life 

 

For those curious, that's beach in Spain, and photoshopped at that 😂

No entry for tourists with tattoos?

Tattoos have nothing to do with being a moron.

The look on the girl's face said it all, IMO.

 

And IMO, even being dressed like that is just about acceptable on a beach road, Pattaya, Patong etc but in a city?  Pleeeaasssee!!!

Only a half-wit would judge the people from another country by a small, badly behaved minority of tourists. Not exactly a representative sample. Mainly young people letting their hair down and old people with no hair.

 

What next? All muslims are terrorists? All black people are violent criminals? All white people are privileged?

 

These clever apes will never change 😟

I agree. I'm a Brit but I tend to avoid groups of UK tourists in Pattaya, especially the so-called "football crowds".

And adding to the list above, REAL football fans are NOT thugs - the "rent-a-mob" ones are though.

Thailand may have some problems, but I would sure hate to see it become another Jamaica.

Half naked man, half naked woman.

Both, and also the area isn't the blue print for the inflationary mentioned "respect of culture".

The "girl" should get dressed up properly, either. When it comes to "cultural respect"

But, special areas, different habits. It doesn't matter if it's "Pattaya, Patong", or Patpong, Cowboy, Nana, and, and, and.

Over 700 foreigners have taken over jobs reserved for Thai locals, according to the government.

 

shut your pie hole with this. there have been reports that approx 150 000 thai are working illegally in south korea. 700. pfffft.... yall put other nations to shame when it comes to the illegally working in another country game. 

 

keep trotting this out and making yourselves look like complete hypocrites. 

[Maitdjai]

An absolutely ridiculous assembled, but ideological biased article.
The continuous abuse of the word “respect” is just a well working attribute of the ideology.

“Unfortunately, Thailand is not alone”,
— with 700 (peanuts) illegal employed “foreigners”. Certainly not tourists.
— increasing misbehavior of tourists. What's increasing, for sure, is the emphasized reporting about any little incident,
where foreigners are "negatively" involved.
Btw, “Cavemen” behavior, misconduct, and felony is not a problem of tourism, it's a problem of individuals in all societies.

About Europe:
“In a bold move echoing protests in the Canary Islands last April, banners sent a clear message:

Tourist: respect my land!”
Is it (also in those other mentioned places) really just about tourists? Or is it also about endlessly imported “foreigners” to all European Countries?
Not “guzzling cheap beer”, and paying for it, but extorting the social welfare systems,
and not respecting “the land”, and its culture at all.
I'm just asking for a friend.

About this, you won't hear anything from those woke Overtourism, and Tourism Experts, despite they might be peddling it
from their ideological marvel towers.
They're lecturing, about
— ...“better management to address behavioral issues”
— ...should “aim to guide behavior, tougher measures like tourism taxes”

— ...“limit tourist beds to control numbers”

— predicting (or better suggesting?) “...rejecting certain demographics”

The “exceptions” are well known.

In the end, for those socialist, Greentards, it's all about to push the “Globalist Woke Agenda”, and the control of everything, everywhere.
“Travelling responsibly is paramount”, and “these destinations are home to many”. 
Somehow a contradiction to the article subject itself.

“...warns that unless tourism becomes sustainable, destinations face ruin, reported BBC UK.”
Not tourism is ruining those destinations, it's the “new” western “values” and ideology, with support, not only, by the “BBC”.

In short: Before you go on holidays, and select a destination (sanctuary), you've to present your “carbon footprint”, a “certificate of behavior”.
“Review points” about your origin might help, or cancel you.

What happened to wanting quality tourists and not chasing volume ?

 

Relaxing visa rules for Indians and Chinese doesn't really smack of 'wanting quality tourists'.

respect ......  do they even know the meaning. 

 

you clearly know nothing about thai culture, thai society is a hierarchical and, actually, highly respectful society.

 

i recommend taking the time to learn about thai society, culture and customs

Socially indoctrinated, devotedly acting, is no evidence for the understanding of "respect".

5 to 6 Sang Som, security uniforms, motorbike taxi vests, or a combination of it, let implode the "highly respectful" customs, often and easily.

Showing a very ugly face under the surface.

As the recent security "mob" assault, in Pattaya, Soi 6, is clearly proving.

So, stop trying to lecture, with

"Lonly Planet" wisdoms.
