Top 10 Worst Tourists

[igotworms]

As expats we see these tourists on a daily basis. Which of these tourists make you cringe when you see them lurking around your local area? This is all in good fun, so lets keep the posts clean! No racist, ignorant garbage.

[bodypaul]

Got to be the sheep sh*gging Aussies .... so brash, loud and stupid!!

[igotworms]

Who voted for the Canadians! Ha!

[penelope]

Any tourist who comes all the way to thailand to eat breakfast in a german restaurant is a bit of a punter.

[andyinkat]

Japanese.

Reason: they're very nice people and all, but I can't compete with the wads they flash around!

[elsie]

Chinese

[chonabot]

Chinese

Theres so ###### many of 'em LC!

Have to agree with you although I would say the Aussies are the second most fitting for your description bodypaul.

BTW where did you say you were from

[davethailand]

In my own experience of being a club owner i think near enough everywhere has more than thier fair share of "worst tourists" and residents.

And my Mum's Chinese. I couldn't stand my relavives from her side at times.

[BoredCat]

I would say some Russian in Pattaya.

Not included in the choice, so I can't vote,...

[igotworms]

I'm not surprised that most of you chaps voted for the yanks, but we're not talking about George Bush the tourist. Most Americans that I have encountered in Thailand have been really cool, especially the ex-pats.

[bkkharry]

Why isn't Isreal listed, I have traveled all over the world, and in most places they are considered the worst of all.

[igotworms]

I forgot many:

Chinese, Taiwanese, Russian, New Zealanders, South African, Mongolian, etc.

[Padkapow Guy]

I think the Japanese are. They aree always rushing around bumpimg into people and cut in front of people when waiting in line. Plus they smoke like fire crackers,just about all of them and they do not care where at.

Look at the total of North americans verse Europeans. Speaks for it self. There are some people on this forum who can wait to take a shot at americans because of their goverment policys. I think they use this forum and poll for this.

No doubt, those poor bastards...getting punished for the Bush clan and their oil cronies.

You don't see the Brits taking any heat for the likes of Mr. Blair and how he bends over for Bush Jr. and company.

Or Thai people for Toxin for that matter.

Hmm not true , I got loads of stick in Issan last year by "educated" Thais for being associated with said Lapdog.

[samran]

Although they aren't annoying like some overbearing Australians/Americans/Poms on holidays, I have to admit that Thai's are pretty hopless travellers. Nice, but clueless and can't do anything without a tour leader telling them what to do.

[Nam Kao]

I notice the Thai expression to call someone Cheap is "Japanese"

example : He not leave tip , he Japanese hundred percent

anybody else here this expression?

[drummer]

Who voted for the Canadians! Ha!

It wasn't me, but honestly, the biggest jack-off I met in loS was this frat boy from Toronto. I'm really laid back and I wanted to punch him after 3 minutes.

As much as I like the logic, I'm pretty sure that the numbers of European vs. Americian tourists is reflective of that. And maybe the reason the american expats are 'cool' is because the shared culture similarities. Just trying to be fair and balanced.

I must agree; this is why I did not vote. I would give the runner-up booby prize to those beloved Brazilians.

[NaiGreg]

My wife was a TAT tour guide in Chiangmai for many years and, although she won't be voting here, would tell you that Americans, Canadians and Brits would only top the *good tourist* list. Why? Because they tend to be more "riap-rawy" and here for something other than sex, drugs and/or trekking. (And maybe they tip better )

She has short *bad tourist* list, but is too polite to let me print it.

Japanese and Korean tourists are somewhere in the middle but are judged by different criteria.

[andreasbkk]

Russians are the worst...

Some Torontonians can be a little on the loud side for sure. I've met a few who claimed Toronto was the real Canada...whatever that means. I don't define Canada by the urban sprawl of Toronto, but maybe thats just me.

If you believe that is the case, then why is the percentage of germans so high?

It looks like it is between the Germans and the Yanks to me

I don't have a problem with expat Yanks they're usually quietly spoken and have mastered the art of blending in. It's the lard arsed, very loud, in your face Wilbur and Wilma types and their revolting children that get my vote. And please I'm not deliberately picking on you guys, it's just the gruesome truth. I can manage to avoid the similarly appalling ENGER-LUND ENGER-LUND beer swilling yobos but the Yankee tourist has a nasty habit of finding your peaceful hideaway.
