nuff said. I think if they increase the proposed tourist fee from 300 THB to 3K THB we won't have to read such stories...

Good for her.

 

He is NOT a typical Brit tourist, but he is a poor example of the direction that the UK is heading lately.

[itsari]

Smoking near a food stall on the street is not quite the same as smoking in Mcdonalds when the law is considered . 

Throwing a bucket of water is i would say a far  more serious offence.

[ignore it]

Stupid guy.

I'm surprised the folks cooking stuff in the big woks full of hot smoking oil didn't go after him too.

[brianthainess]

I prefer to look for 'sweet dumplings' elsewhere ..............

Smoking is sort of like farting, if it's not alright to fart continuously where you are, then it's probably not OK to smoke there either. Take your disgusting habit to some place where you and like-minded masochists can enjoy it.

I find that most foreigners that smoke, many of them chain smoke ignore the law about smoking in bars etc., I had a couple of these ignorant people sit next to me in a shop bar and I said to them your not allowed to smoke here go and stand out side if your that desperate. There was no smoking signs on the walls.

They turned on me and told me to f off, they expect people to breath their second hand smoke .

Being an ex smoker for over ten years I cant stand the smell of it , it was in your face , blatantly rude, just like the guy in the post. I stopped because I was puffed out climbing 2 or 3 stairs, I knew it was killing me, I have seen lots of these ignorants die from heart attacks and loose there feet from smoking from poor circulation. I loved smoking when I did smoke but I realized luckily that is was them or me.

When I did smoke I always went outside so as to not annoy or harm others with my second hand smoke fumes.

He is very, very lucky this happened in Chiang Mai. Down in Pattaya or Phuket he'd be in hospital in no time. Or worse...

Pretty sure that assh*le must behaved better if the food vendor was a stout man of goon outlook.

 

Or a group of mototaxi guys nearby.

'He felt it was his right to smoke in public'  What arrogance.  it should be the right of every citizen to live in smoke free air, not breath the second-hand smoke from A-holes like this.

Thankfully , UK is fairly strict about smoking now, so these scum think thy can come to Thailand and break the laws if thy want to.

In my opinion Thailand is far too casual about enforcing their non-smoking laws.  it would be very good if he law regarding smoking in bars was enforced.  Good little earner for RTP as well; let them keep all the fines they collect.

Tourist or otherwise, you're a guest... behave like one

This is what happens when you change the visa rules and open the door to the country, then you get these "quality " tourists. Everywhere these morons who think they can do whatever they want.

All these incidents make thai think the same about all farangs living here. We, the 99% who behave, respect thai and thai culture will have difficulties because of these disgusting people. 

Exactly what change in visa rules are you referring to ?   There is not and never has been any visa regulations that would stop people  like this from coming here. 30 days visa exempt on arrival has been available since time immemorial , altering  that to 60 days has changed nothing. With tens of millions of people arriving here every year incidents like this are bound to happen occasionally its a racing certainty.   Just like the sanctimonious outpouring of outrage  from those who of course have never put a foot wrong themselves and can't wait to tell everybody else,

So typical of the ignorant English ...

May I ask you where you come from?

[2long]

The report suggests that the vendor politely asked him to stop smoking, but is there proof of this politeness?

The report also says the vendor's sister stepped in to ask what was going on. Is there also proof of this?

 

I'm far from on the side of the smoking farang, but anyone who's been here long enough knows (in addition to how bad farang can be) that sometimes the locals don't ask politely and their 'siblings' happily and quickly join in a confrontation without 'asking who's right or wrong'

 

Just saying!

[smew]

an idiot 

[2long]

I don't smoke, or like smokers' habits, but if this is a public street, what business is it of hers to tell him where he can't smoke?

Can I put a sign next to my car parked on the road to say no smoking?

   Anyone who is rude enough to smoke in the vicinity of other people eating has lost their right to be asked politely about anything .

   Should cut all the talk out and just throw  a bucket of water over them

While I agree with you, was it illegal for him to smoke there?

If not, who is she to tell him what to do?

We don't know how 'politely' she asked him, but her behaviour in the clip could give some ideas.

Yes, UK used to be known as the land of gentlemanship.

Is Margaret Thatcher mostly to blame for the loss of English Goodness?

After reckless Privatization that only benefits mega corporations, all sorts of horrible things(making today's headlines) started to happen?

   The cigarette smoke would likely annoy her and her customers and if he really needed to smoke , he could walk for 20 seconds to sit on a bench away from everyone else .

   It is illegal to smoke in restaurants in Thailand or just standing outside the door of an establishment

I don't believe England can still be classed as first world.  Look at the capital, much of which now resembles a third world hellhole.

The water intended to extinguish the cigarette on the floor.looked like a bucket full in the face
