'Chinese tourist' filmed kicking Chiang Mai temple bell

[Rykbanlor]

Yeah,

Its not confirmed that he was Chinese. Only that the guy making the statement drew that conclusion from the man's 'kung-<deleted> style' kcicking which is a shallow and racist observation, unless every single Chinese citizen is in fact adept at kung <deleted>.

It's called "The Bliss of Ignorance" and is not limited to people kicking revered bells either: "Chooka", "Mango Bob" and a few other perennial TV-Posters . . . . . When reading some of their posts, I often wonder "Do you REALLY have nothing better to do ?" (such obviously Empty Lives they must lead . . . .)

and who made you holier than thou? I bet you sit there surrounded by mirrors grooming and idolising your self and turn up your nose at everyone. Do you having nothing better to do than publically glorifying yourself and put others down on public forums?

Chooka... you reap what you sow... I have been on this Forum for a few years now, and it's true that you often insult people who are not on your side. When you answer to someone whose opinion you don't like, you often start with something like 'what a load of crap'. Forums are for discussing, sharing, agreeing, disagreeing, but not insulting. Violence begets violence, so don't be surprised when people lash out at you.

[yogavnture]

the thai govt needs to put the Chinese into their reeducation program. no fighting on airliners and try to be civil .

[Mot Dang]

"has asked all tour companies and guide associations in Chiang Mai to teach their customers about proper etiquette when visiting temples, historic sites, and other important destinations."

What a load of baloney. The constant apologizing for this tourist trash will not lead anywhere. Their own commonsense should tell them that what they are doing is sacrilegious, but they still continue with these obscenities. Probably because Mao told their fathers and grandfathers that "religion was poison". The almighty and holey baht will prevail above Thailand's primary beliefs, the TAT elite continually condoning the actions of these damn drones.

​How can a Temple official just stand there and video this jerk, did he take any action ??? I certainly would have said something.

"So it won't create a negative image for Chinese tourists,"

Sorry, your too late, these morons have already got a negative image.

May I ask all those who respect Thailand and its peoples to video these sacrilegious acts and any other unsocial-able act, and put it on YouTube, under "Chinese Tourists Misbehave in Thailand".

Why is kung <deleted> deleted? Is there something offensive about the little two letter word that starts with F and ends with U?

I ran into this recently when I posted something about Google-<deleted>, and would like to know if I, in ignorance, am being insensitive.

[soalbundy]

You are not being insensitive, it's like why, when you put a pair of socks into the washing machine,do you only get one back, asking why is pointless.

OK, the "Are you F - ing kidding me" meter just went off the scale.

JAAPFRIES with 1, 075 postings, is B' ing about reading all the OTHER postings on TV, and ...

Wait for the punchline ...

Calling out the people who wrote them as "having nothing better to do."

Jaapfries, since you left home, your village is less one premier idiot ... they miss you ... please go back.

Thailand dont complain as China will soon control your country

Based on current economic projections, within the next 10 years China may control a

lot more of the world than just Thailand.

[eastbay]

Interesting. So it is a universal dimensional convergence divergence worm hole thing, like socks. I would have never guessed.

But Kung &lt;deleted&gt; at least in English is a commonly used term, there was even a TV series named that which I thoroughly enjoyed in my youth. I would never have expected that to be <deleted>. I sort of understood Google &lt;deleted&gt; as maybe that is misappropriation or something, heaven forbid the use of like duct tape &lt;deleted&gt; or the myriad of other &lt;deleted&gt; based slang that is now common in the States. It is used obviously as a universal special knowledge and technique designator.

So this should be fun. Can you get banned or flicked from TVF? Will the Censors have to fill up my post here with <delete>'s? Inquiring, idle minds wan to know......

hypocrisy : noun hy·poc·ri·sy \hi-ˈpä-krə-sē also hī-\

: the behavior of people who do things that they tell other people not to do : behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel

jaapfires ... please send in your photo to put next to this definition ... Bingo ... you just won the internet.

Wow ... You are going to be pretty embarrassed when you either (1) Sober up and realise what you have written (2) Learn to read English above Level 5.

Thanks for the morning laugh.

[eastbay]

Ah- is it automatic? All the <delete> showed up one nano-second after the post!

Or do we have very vigorous Moderator/Censors?

[starkey_rich]

If it had been any other nationality than Chinese there would have been a mob baying for their blood.

But you can not upset the Chinese.

Orders from above.

[wowfactor10]

Well on a positive note at least he was wearing a long trousers

I am not too sure what education is needed?

It's really common sense and nothing else.

No explaining or educating will change the behaviour.

Mandatory classes in Chinese schools to learn about western culture is the only way.

We automatically learn "common sense", in Asia common sense is hard to find, because ii is not Asian.

"... in Asia common sense is hard to find..."

​Seems like a huge lacking of common sense in this statement.

[A1Str8]

Just break his leg. He's not going to do it again. Little slut.

[orosee]

The censorship code thinks that you're writing "eff you", "F.U." etc. So no Kung &lt;deleted&gt;, but other martial arts should pass :-)

[DaveinAsia]

OMG! He kicked a 50 kilo bell and probably hurt his foot in doing so? That must be the most terrible thing I've read in a while. Let's spread this all over social media. Maybe he was angry after being ripped off by a bunch of people before entering. Did the crowd lynch him for acting in such an inhumane way?

[Serendipity24]

The Chinese and Japanese are also complaining about the behavior of Thais when visiting their countries. It's like taking revenge on each other and may the rudest and most obnoxious one wins:s

[2fishin2]

The dude isnt Chinese anyways. Isnt it rude for Thais to pick their noses noses in public, defraud and scam tourists the way they do all so commonly? I think that trumps a kick on a bell anyways. Who cares??

[Nowisee]

Not going to happen. The world is catching on to their game.

BTW: Sense is NOT common.

What some people do while out in public is what they do any where. Some see it as a horrendous act, others pay no attention to it and may even join in.

Stop for a minute and think of the "different" things you see or hear about people doing everyday. You could probably spent the rest of your life watching people doing "different" things on youtube. Some make you laugh, some make you shake your head and utter the phrase, "what fugging idiot" and ... well, you get the idea.

Soon there will be a giant list of things you can and cannot do. Each country will have to post this at the entrance to their country in 63 different languages, forms will have to be filled out... omg.

The floodgates have been open and now you can't control the situation. Tourism Authority of Thailand done it again.

And it is exacerbated by insisting that tour guides must be Thai, whereas Chinese tour guides would be much better equipped to communicate.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I have made hundreds of public apologies on here is I accidently insulted someone and I never start a reply with the term what a load of crap.

[AlQaholic]

In China they always do a good Kung-&lt;deleted&gt; kick to the bells, it is a show of respect and devotion to the bell ghosts!

[northernphil]

Are not these Temples and Wats sacred places to Thais ? No proof he was Cninese but I doubt a Thai would go to a temple and kick a bell. If I took my Thai wife to a temple and I kicked a bell she would most likely kick my bell end. Or worse.

1. Thailand is not western culture

2. Plenty of Buddhist and temples in China

[Suffinator]

With many westerners having abandoned Thailand as a tourist destination, mainly due to the scams, over-pricing and increasing violence, this is all you have left. Ultimately Thais are only interested in quantity as they think the masses will spend money. This is not the case as most of them on are a packaged deal and spend very little.

I'm afraid, despite the glaring truth, the Thais will never learn and will just march on in madness regardless.
