February 13, 201511 yr I don't think this will set very well with the folks here in Isaan judging by the way they feel about and speak about the local Chinese merchants.
February 13, 201511 yr "Hello welcome to....BANG!" as a smiling Thai is crushed by the stampede to get to the breakfast buffet. The bf worked at a Chinese owned hotel on the breakfast shift for a few weeks- was like a feeding frenzy.
February 13, 201511 yr Well good...now the Thais can blame all their problems on the Chinese...instead of the others.
February 13, 201511 yr In my humble opinion after about a year of tour buses of next to zero dollar tours, once again the Sun will rise on the endangered species known as the farang, and we will once again be looked upon as golden, flip flops and all. Lol By this time next year they will look upon us like Gods.
February 13, 201511 yr Actually Rametindallas the Thais are getting screwed by the chinese as far as the loans go just last week the Thai Gov was asking for lower loans because the Japanese were offering much better terms. Either way if you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas !
February 13, 201511 yr I stayed in My friends Hotel in Phuket, Just before Christa, he rented a room to a young Chinese couple, for a week. A week later I was out with him when he got a call from one of his Thai cleaning staff,they had pored shower gel over all the bedding and curtains,, left the toilet unflushed, Talcum powder all over the floor and furniture, The Receptionist had given the Chinese couple their deposit back without checking the room. So now No deposits returned until all rooms are checked. apparently this happens a few times with Chinese Tourists,
February 13, 201511 yr No time like the present to begin bowing to your new Chinese overlords. The US is driving Thailand towards China, China is offering pie-in-the-sky, unbelievably cheap loans for Chinese trains. China is offering military hardware and cooperation, etc.. What could go wrong? Thailand has not been a colony of a foreign power before but there can still be a first time; welcome to the 21st century where China is building its military and infiltrating everywhere with their fifty year plan. Beijing: In July this year an article was published in Chinese daily, titled 'Six wars to be fought by China in the next 50 years'. The article mentions six wars, including one with India, that need to be fought by China in order for it to achieve its dream of becoming the super power of the world. http://defence.pk/threads/story-of-six-wars-in-50-years-how-china-plans-to-become-worlds-superpower.284554/ China makes increased military spending a top priority as People’s Congress meets http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/china-to-boost-military-spending-107-percent/2013/03/05/aaa62f10-8565-11e2-9d71-f0feafdd1394_story.html China's Military Spending 2000 - 2014.gif Well China really has some catching up to do as the US spends more then the next 12 largest military's in the world combined, including China. The Chinese are expected to reach parity with the US military by 2020. The US borrows forty cents of every dollar it spends. Chickens eventually come home to roost.
February 13, 201511 yr I recently holidayed in Koh Chang and there were many Chinese tourists. The only problem was that most I observed whilst there couldn't speak Thai or English. Maybe Mandarin should be taken more seriously at school and be a mandatory requirement for all children to learn this language aswell as English.
February 13, 201511 yr Yeah, so you jet ski bosses better show more compassion before ripping them off.
February 13, 201511 yr Yeah, so you jet ski bosses better show more compassion before ripping them off. Never saw any jet skis on Koh Chang.
February 13, 201511 yr Too many of them are coming to Chiang Mai, and there will probably be even more in the future. As far as behaviour goes, they're a mixed lot, but most of them are OK. One good thing about them is that - so far at least - they go home when their vacation is ended. They don't settle down here and become dissatisfied misfits blaming the Thais and Thailand for all their problems.

February 13, 201511 yr In just one week some Chinese tourists in Chiang Mai have managed to: Black House Museum is Damaged by Chinese Touristhttp://chiangmaicitynews.com/news.php?id=4835 Collision Causes Woman's Car to Swerve into MoatThe driver, Sun Hui Chi, is a volunteer teacher from China. He rented a car and had just travelled with a friend from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, around 700 kilometres. http://chiangmaicitynews.com/news.php?id=4831 More to come...............
February 13, 201511 yr Told or ordered? It's so tricky to tell the difference nowadays. If you hate it so much, do you know the way to the Airport?

India has nukes and would use them to flatten China. India is very much aware of China's ambitions and China is out of luck. Like Thailand, China is too big for its britches. China feels it needs to secure its maritime energy routes to the Middle East. Its claims in the East & South China seas are to that end, but get them only about as far as the Straits of Malacca. India represents a potential threat to those routes through the Indian Ocean. India is well aware of that. I believe China is/was making overtures to India's rival, Pakistan, about the possibility of a naval base there...
February 14, 201511 yr However, when confronted by foreigners from the evil west, Thai's were instructed to rip them off at every opportunity. Thailand is for Thai's and Chinese cause their kinda Thai too. Yep! 10% of the population of Thailand is of Chinese origin including the last prime minister and her brother. And Abhisit and most of the senior Democrats are Chinese too !! Look at the Thais who are the elite, they're mainly a bunch of Chinese in Thailand. The red shirt demonstrators are mainly dark-skinned people from rural Isaan. But the yellow shirt demonstrators are mainly Chinese and middle-class from Bangkok. Okay, throw in some Thais from the south too !!

India is scared of China, yes, but is India really an ally of the West ?? Has India got a modern navy and army ? I think India are more busy looking at their future war with Pakistan, rather than confrontation with China. China is too big for its britches ? China won't beat the USA in a war. But I think it's trade and economy is starting to dominate much of the Far East.
February 14, 201511 yr I think the Chinese have been coming here long enough that the people who have to deal with them on a daily basis have already made up their minds about how to treat them. My girlfriend works in a hotel here in Chiang Mai and here take onit is that there are some nice ones mostly younger and the crap ones mostly older but all wanting a discount. She has had a few Europeans in here hotel that she didn't think much of either. In the end people are people some ok some not so much.

No I don't think India has the powerful conventional military other than to defend its own borders including against Pakistan if needed. I do think if China attacked India, India would nuke China because that's India's only ace in the hole. I don't know how we got here but I'm going to stop because the topic is about Chinese tourists in Thailand.
February 14, 201511 yr Told or ordered? It's so tricky to tell the difference nowadays. Told or ordered? What does it matter.?..I wouldn't do either..why should a lot of these street-shitters and pissers be especially welcomed? Government tells people to do this and that...but they are not there to experience the aftermath...I think these same ones to give recommendations and orders to be the same ones to experience what the ©hinese leave behind. Idiots... Shiting and pissing iin the street is hardly eclusive to the Chinese. There isn't a day goes by I don't see a local, mostly taxi drivers but others as well, pissing by the side of the road. Spitting in the street is also a common practice among the local population. It's a cultural thing in some parts of Asia. The real show though is in the UK on a Friday and Saturday night at club chucking out time. Pissing and shitting in the street with the added bonus of projectile vomiting. As I said - it's hardly an exclusive Chinese thing. Don't backstab your own people you!! Chinese practices as mentioned previously take place when sober oftentimes so don't go out of context!
February 14, 201511 yr Wy not give warm welcome to tourists that come with respect for your clture and customs, ...and spend money in your establishments? ... like eurpopeans, Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders? I live in Jomtien and see buses loaded with Chinese coming every day. They go around in huge groups .. looking but not spending!

February 14, 201511 yr Put a slot machine at swampy that way they never leave airport and you get there money after all face it is all about the baht. Oh yeah rig it to never pay out but come real close can't forget Thainess.
February 14, 201511 yr Yehhh they're apparently so vital to the tourism industry that they have a green light to queue jump, spit on people, bite, slap, defecate in open public spaces.... Good eggs really.
