You're right it is racism but as with so many 'isms' there is more than an element of truth in it. wheres the racism i fail to see people who are making comments and telling a personal experience is racism rather than fact...people need not be so high and mighty and get over themselves..too politically correct..remember under blair if you even mentioned immigration you were deemed a racist in the uk..so if your offended by what is said here report it or put up and shut up.. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand needs them TAT says so--they want the HIGH END market. Westerners must be the low end. Thai forget the Westerners set them up in the tourist industry initially.

I've been to so many Chinese restaurants in so many cities and never heard anyone eating loudly. Have several Chinese friends and all eat normally. I think this rudeness and bad table manners is usually attributed to the Chinese from China. Unfortunately Chinese people as a race are also called 'Chinese' and these people from China are just giving Chinese people elsewhere a bad name. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I remember my first day trip to Koh Phi Phi many years ago, which included free lunch and which had a large contingent of travelling Chinese on it. They attacked the buffet like Piranha, leaving no food for anyone else, then proceeded to vomit it all over the place on the return trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out and about man, I know of countless baht taxis going to these girlie SHOWS, it is common knowledge, they like the sexy things like other nations --are you portraying then as sexless in Pattaya/Nana/ elsewhere ???/ Greater value. Give me some figures of money spent --and indirectly spent here, no not just stats from tourism sections/operators. Sorry you are way out with your judgment. Shear numbers they may well up on tourist figures, CASH spent HERE Never. Cash though operators maybe---spot the difference. ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English dirty and unwashed ??? and the rest. ha ha where are you from outer Mongolia ?? I spent some time in the Savoy group, and spent some time in Pattaya, different clients. Posters are posting about their experiences with these types that are uncouth-poor spenders. The Chinese were near the first to travel to distant lands. Do not take on board that all posters are racist because they encounter SOME Chinese here that DO NOT mix with Thais as Westerners do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimay1 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 My Wife is Thai/Chinese and she eats quiet. I've been to so many Chinese restaurants in so many cities and never heard anyone eating loudly. Have several Chinese friends and all eat normally. I am happy for you and your wife. Previously I posted: Not sure what transpired to drive the guy to the extreme of attacking the other one but I'll say this. I have been to many places in China and eaten at many of their restaurants and I felt like doing the same thing at times. This was all in mainland China. It wasn’t that you could actually hear people eating as chewing their food but everyone at the table was talking extremely loud all at the same time trying to drown out everyone else. If there were ten tables occupied the noise was multiplied by ten. There was no way to enjoy a meal. I do not paint all Chinese people with the same brush because of this. There were times I had business dinners with Chinese company executives. We would go to an upscale restaurant and it was totally different. Nice quite atmosphere and very enjoyable. I use to work in Singapore and it was the same there. You go into a restaurant and people carry on a normal conversation in a normal tone of voice. As a matter of fact my colleagues told me more than once they didn’t like mainland Chinese people coming to Singapore because they were ill-mannered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H1w4yR1da Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Here in CNX my wife has a Thai friend who owns a very nice restaurant here with is wife. They finally put up a sign out front in Thai, English and Chinese that clearly states: "SORRY, NO CHINESE ALLOWED" due to their obnoxious eating habits, which were driving away all of his Thai and other customers. I wonder what Bruce Lee would have thought of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car720 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 What's really interesting is that 2 Chinese were fighting over the sound one of them were making whilst eating. During my several years in China I learned that slurping food when eating acts to cool the food down and is done by both male and female as a matter of norm, so why one would be offended by another is beyond me. I think there was more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonbridgebrit Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Are mainland Chinese tourists really that bad ?I've got to say, surely, in Pattaya, practically none of the drunken violence from tourists are from Chinese tourists ? Okay, so loads of 'Asian tour groups' (they're mainly from mainland China) turn up at Walking Street and elsewhere in Pattaya, correct, it appears to be that they spend hardly any money in the bars and other places. But, they do stay in the hotels, and surely, the massive increase of Chinese tourists in the last ten years has been one of the reasons for all the new hotels that have been built ? Construction of these hotels has surely meant jobs for Thais, and Thais also work in these hotels ?I really do think, they might be a bit rude, just like most Russians, and they might make loads of noises when eating. But, at the end of the day, we're going to have to get use to them. It does look like that their numbers will be increasing considerably in the coming years. As for the Thais preferring tourists that are not from mainland China, well, I'm not sure. Supposedly, Pattaya is trying to get away from being a place for sex tourists, it might be the case that the Thais want to concentrate on selling over-priced sea-food to Chinese tourists !And they want to build more condos for more (drunken) Russians, and build more hotels to cater for the increasing number of mainland Chinese tour groups !
