SoilSpoil Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Nice to know that Harbin Bangkok, a profit making entity, charges white people more than Asians. Boycot this shameless place at all cost! And spare me the 'but Thais earn less than you bogus', cause there are a l8t of wealthy Thais as well.

yellowboat Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It is probobably easier for Thais to achieve success outside of Thailand. Think more Thais should work in China. Seen some do well in Singapore and Hong Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyp Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm so glad the article included photos of the winning sculpture! The carvings looks so life-like in those blue jackets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge non-Thais more than Thais. Believe it or not, there are lots and lots of non-Thais who are actually non-white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
