upinthesky Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The guy in blue shirt is a chair-for-rent employee who is chasing away visitors with self brought mattress.. What is more ridiculous is there is a sign warning that you can't bring in any personal chair nor mattress to sit on the beach but you have to rent their chair for 100/200 baht each. Do they own the beach? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=290918587763901&fref=nf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBlair48 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Is this recent? I thought all chairs were to be removed at all beaches. Or just some beaches? Maybe only vendors on beaches that didn't pay up to the correct people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chao Lao Beach Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 With the advent of Google glasses and more phones with decent cameras, Thailand is only going to be more embarrassed with this attitude towards to non Thais being common,particularly in tourist areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
