Payboy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Many of the messages were proclamations that certain Thai individuals had been there, accompanied with their names. I was there too with one of my names. As my friend says. "The last idiot is still not born" Yup, but the first one was most probably German.

cardinalblue Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thais have never respected other people's cultures. Why is this news? They seem to respect and honor Nazism... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Drunk Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Wasn't it only a few weeks ago we were hearing Thais complain about boorish Chinese tourists and their farmyard habits? The boorish Thais with farmyard manners can't afford to travel to China. They do their damage in Bangkok.

bigbamboo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) If they'd just scratched their names like the tourists aka invading soldiers did in the old days then in a thousand years time people might marvel at it. Of course by then the Thais will be back to being Chinese again and no one will mind. Edited July 7, 2014 by bigbamboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Viking Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 7 wonders of the world should be renamed "7 wonders of Euro centric world", which is what it clearly was. No Angkor complex, No great wall, No Mexican pyramids, No Borobodur. I remember going to Ramses IX (think it was #9) tomb in Egypt and seeing original Graffiti (Greek word) written in the passageway. Put there couple thousand years ago. Translation was said to be "Man City Sucks. Go Man U". Not idiotic people writing on the wall. Had to be smart enough to get $$ for visit to China. More like unthinking upper class oblivious to anyone other than themselves Angkor didn't qualify on "ancient-ness"! The original Name is: "The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World" (this list is a relict of old times). and Ancient or Antike means in this case built BC. The historian Herodotus (484 – ca. 425 BCE), and the scholar Callimachus of Cyrene (ca. 305 – 240 BCE) at the Museum of Alexandria, made early lists of seven wonders. Their writings have not survived, except as references. Also a lot of places built BC was still not discovered when this list was made first time from Greecs.. Angkor was built far over 1000 years later this is why it is not in this list. In general I agree with you about Angkor, this is in another much bigger and more fair list(World Heritage) as a lot of other nice places in this World. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/668 Carpe Diem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troysantos Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Remember, as the OP stated, it was Thais upset about other Thais putting their names on the stones, not Chinese complaining about the Thais. Also, if the names were not in the designated graffiti area, then maybe there's more case to complain. But, you know, so many people (who I guess even live here!) seem to love to complain about Thais, rabble all up and down about ... and yeah, trash the whole nation.

I think they may understand their stupidity when the shoe is on the other foot. In a way, I hope it happens. No comparing apples to apples at all -- the wall has all sorts of graffiti in certain areas (mostly Chinese) and somebody simply went around and snapped pics of those which were Thai and posted them online.

German Viking Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Maybe this is a revenge to the "shitting in the canal in Chiangmai" by the Chinese ?

Well, now you can hear it again................ Recently, eating in the level 1 cafeteria at Suv. A group of Chinese tourists sat near me , two of the men were actually spitting their bits of unwanted chicken and bones on the floor. On another level i saw a Chinese man turn his head and spit on the concourse floor. ..........Ah ! the Chinese culture. This is real Chinese style spitting everywhere, they should do this in Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baboon Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Looking at the dates isn't it kind of late for the faux outrage? We see graffiti on the walls of some buildings made by roman soldiers and look at it with great interest and historic importance. A hard nylon brush and a bucket of soapy water will remove the 'scar' in a matter of minutes. I get the feeling that it was written by Farangs to show Thais in bad light No you don't. Not for an instant. Why do you feel the need to post such flapdoodle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
