Why are Thais so dishonest and always cheat foreigners?

Featured Replies

Not only does it happen at the airport, but it happens everywhere.... taxis, dual pricing, etc etc.

Why are all Americans loud and fat ?

Why do Brits not wash everyday ?

Why are all Nigerians drug dealers

Think you get my point

Why do some people need a hobby?

Why are the legally documented farangs in Thailand older people ?

Why do the assorted nomads dislike legal visa use ?

Why am I still ''a hansum man?''

dual prices is a copyright issue, my country developed that

What a pointless and misleading post. You will find dishonest people everywhere you go, particularly around airports. Just because there are a few bad apples doesn't mean it's a general trait.

Maybe you've just been unlucky. Personally, I find Thais in general to be as honest as people in most other countries. And I've never had a problem with taxis. If they want to work on a fixed fare (quite rare, in my experience), I just get out and find another cab.

Why do foreigners cheat Thai Ladies?

Why do foreigners, look at the Thais as inferior beings?

Why so many people,bash the Thais on this Forum?......You are the prime example OP.

Why are the legally documented farangs in Thailand older people ?

Why do older people think they're the only ones with a valid visa?

It's obviously not always.

I can get the same prices at Big C as anyone.

But forgiving the trollishness of the OP, in general it's a fair enough question.

Such opportunist overcharging when it is possible is much more part of the culture here than in the west, certainly.

Like when you go to vendors, the price isn't usually marked ... opportunity. In the west the prices would be marked.

The most dishonest and outright vile people I have encountered in Thailand have been bitter, failed foreigners who are trying to scratch out an existence in Thailand by any means possible.

Americans are loud and fat:

Loud -- rock and roll has blown out the ear drums

Fat -- too much sugar / processed foods, portions too big, don't eat enough actual "real food", drive everywhere (public transport is crap)

Because many of your ''friends'' seem to delight in creative visa use and just can't stop boasting about the ''creative use of their visa's. They ''spill'' the beans and now it is becoming apparent that Ed visa's are becoming a problem for the holders of such visa's .

There might be some truthiness there.

Thaivisa has a rule against derogatory comments about thai people. Please do not start threads of such an offensive nature to a whole nation again or you will receive a suspension.
