piersbeckett Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Chinese tourists do not hang out, they swarm and descend
MobileContent Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Kingpower next to the Pullmann Hotel. Its fun to see how they come in and buy up half the shops.
BKKdreaming Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I have never seen a tourist group in Chinatown unless the bus was at a Wat, but never a pack of them with a team leader and a flag
LuckyLew Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 They hang out in their hotel rooms or on the tour bus
swampdonkey Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I was staying in the marvel hotel suk soi 22 Breakfast time is like watching a swarm of lotus After you watch that go to the front of the building and watch 100 of them trying to get into the one tour bus , while the other two buses sit empty
HLover Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Do you get to enjoy the sounds of burping and view the joyous sight of them spitting on the floor before lighting a cigarette and throwing debris on the floor?
rijit Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Asiatique. At weekends seen 10 plus bus loads turn up.7 -11 in the car park is unbelievably busy.

It's quite fascinating. When I was in China I saw a woman hold a baby over a trashcan while it took a dump. These people are more animal than human!
siam2007 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 They hang out in their hotel rooms or on the tour bus Exactly. they don't go anywhere or socialise unless it is organized by their group leaders. As for dinner - there are many restaurants (Chinese restos or seafood Restos) that have contracts with tour operators and are eager to release the Chinese crowd of their money. many Chinese tourists are uneducated, have never or rarely been out of their country (which explains the cultural unawareness or ignorance), and don't speak any foreign language. alone they would feel extremely unsecure. There are a lot individual mainland Chinese travellers nowadays though. they are mostly quite young, speak some English and know how to behave. met quite a few of them and had friendly conversations. Another important thing: Do not generalize. while indeed Chinese Mainlanders usually have no manners and don't know how to behave, virtually all other ethnic Chinese folks from HongKong, Taiwan, Singapore or Malaysia are civilized and friendly. For example: I consider Taiwanese the most friendly and helpful people in all of Asia, topped only by the Burmese (been there, done that). I can in 95% of the cases tell you if those Chinese are from the Mainland or from civilized countries after watching them for a couple of minutes
greenbottle555 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Exact for the walking part. Despite how young/affluent they appear to be (eg: not in a large tour group), they are the worst pedestrians. Constantly slowing down to just stare into space, in the middle of the path (at a busy place like an airport), side-by-side so that nobody can <deleted> pass them. Occasionaly they will come to a complete stop and people have to start poking through their group to get by, by the time they realize to get the <deleted> out of the way, they start walking slowly again as a group. Another really annoying these shitbags do on international flights is intentionally step on the heels of peoples shoes, on a crowded plane isle where it is impossibele for anyone to walk faster/around anyone. They have no problem being <deleted> to get people to move, even in unreasonable contexts where it is impossilbe to move, yet obvliously block entire roads.
