Bangkok BTS Disturbance Sparks Debate Over Tourism Conduct


Recommended Posts

Posted

No such incident yesterday on MRT but something weird... Walked into the purple line station yesterday and noticed at least 30 new cameras installed. Easy to tell they are new, not just because they weren't there before but because there's not 2 cm dust cover on top of them... Anyway, first time ever, security guard wanted me to empty pockets and others to open even smallest purses to see what's inside. On the train, there was a security guard entering every station at the back of the train and walked towards the front. That is also something I haven't seen before.

 

Is this about that deportation to China or is there another security alert out keeping public transport on their toes?

If people on holiday are not allowed to have fun and kick up their heels a little, they will stop coming.  Being a little loud and laughing about is no reason for the Thais to break out their xenophobia ...

 

Message to the Thais ... you will never get us to stay at home and just send our wallets or cash over.

 

Need to lighten up.

The people of Thailand are not know for speaking softly.. The scream to eachother as in my opinion they all have eardrum damage of the loudly music and sounds everywhere around in Thailand..

 

I disagree with the first sentence.

I am deaf in one ear and the treason that I struggle with the Thai language is because Thais talk very quietly.

However, totally agree with the decibel levels when it comes to music and parties.

Probably Americans, no low volume.

And what also annoys me are those speakers in rural municipalities, at the stroke of 6 o'clock in the morning the blaring starts which lasts until about half past seven, so everyone is awake by now.

Try to find a silent spot, almost impossible.. even in a restaurant you can't conversate in a normal way as mostly they have a live band with too much bass and a singer who can't sing but thinks the louder I sing the better it better it is.. or they play Thai music the appetite is over quickly and you want to finish your meal to get out of the noise.

Surely some tourists make noise too but don't forget that there are 70 million Thais living in Thailand and only a few foreigners/tourists

Rigth.I remember when my exwife get thai friends come visit us in my country.I speak thai well and after 5 minutes i went to my smoking room and put my headphones on and listen to music on YouTube and took a whiskey.

Its like a chicken farm when they meet.

Not just rural. They're everywhere. Some self important w@nk#r going on and on and on. If I could I'd take a shotgun to each and every one of them and I'd get applauded by all the Thais that also hate them.
