Does anyone have any Chinese Mainlander tourist stories?

[ev1lchris]

I don't really notice the Chinese tourists around Thailand. I have only really dealt with them in Macau and China.

Does anyone have any incredible stories to share?

[gerry123]

incredible stories to share? sorry not at this moment

[thaipod]

There is one in the paper every day lately about their behaviour as tourists visiting Thailand.

[AlexRRR]

Nope not incredible story just a story, 2 lines of chinese on either side of me at check in at swampy about 25 in total, made almost as much noise as 25,000 plus 5 a time trying to get there ticket, getting most annoyed and spoken with a normal voice i looked over at the nosie ones and told them to shut up...to my amazment they did.

Another flight out of swampy arriving 15 min before gates closing i got stuck at the back of the longe area with about 40 chinese, most were quite this time but one woman and 2 men....my god the racket...she was way to scary to say anything to so i went and stood near the gate.

I had an experiance with mainland chinese at my HK hotel at dinner, the ex TGF wanted to enjoy the buffet on our last evening there luckly i ordered from the menu, these mainlanders swamed like locust the moment food arrived at the buffet, with quite a few going back for 3ds and 4ths...unfortunely my table was along the main thourgh fare to the food with many stoping to chat right besides my partner and myself..

I had wanted to go to China once...not any more.

Oh China is horrible.

[pgrahmm]

Yeah...went to China.....stayed in 5☆ hotels - like talking to a stone wall if you speak English.....walking around there aren't very many attractive women.....smiles were hard to come by from the general public.....armed - non smiling guards everywhere. . Only engaging people are the ones trying to sell something = super aggressive......

There's plenty of Chinese bashing on Thai Visa already. Is it really necessary to start a new thread solely to generate more?

Wife worked at a hospital, nearly daily Chinese tourists showed up with their fingers squashed in a deck chair...

I liked the ones this week who decided to go off roading one one of our local beaches. Both cars got stuck in the sand as the tide came in. They are a menace

Carelessness?

They all made the same mistake? Maybe they don't know what a deck chair is.

How can you not notice the Chinese tourists in Thailand

the way they dress. the way they behave (maybe the term behaviour is already inappropriate), the noise level.

As I am around Asia 180 days per year, I am condfident to say that if there are Chinese around somewhere, I can tell you in 95% of the cases if they are from the mainland or from a civilized country such as Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia.....

to be fair, there are quite a lot of young and well-educated individual mainland Chinese travellers from bigger Cities, particularly from provinces in the South-Western part of China (Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, plus Szichuan and Chongqing and the likes) who know have to behave like a human being.

those disgusting animal-like hordes are in many cases first-time travellers from remote provinces who never ever left their country before.

Spent six weeks in China in 2012 and went from Nanjing to kashgar to nanning and it was freaking awesome. Spent another ten days last year. When i come back from my business trip i am going to try for the new ten year visa.

The Chinese bashing is a little overboard. I think people have lived here too long and don't realize how loud and obnoxious thai people can be in public. and Chinese are traveling indepently more and more these days and are a lot more quiet than small groups of faranng or thai.

When we went to Cambodia last year, the loudest were korean tour groups and small groups of Thais complaining that Angkor wat was nothing special.

The wife works in real estate (i know ,everyone hates estate agents) but she will no longer deal with them ,and will not rent out places that have lots of Chinese tourists staying due to the massive amount of complaints about the noise and general bad behaviour, so many complaints

[ivan96822]

No, I don't...

You sound surprised because they couldn't speak English to you! Why should they?? Most of their customers speak Chinese..You also expect everyone to smile? Try going to Eastern Europe or the UK and see how many smiles you garner! Your post is very naive and shocks a complete lack of cultural awareness..

Sort of like socks - You can never have enough.
