theguyfromanotherforum Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ever since their mass arrival I noticed the reviews of certain hotels going down. Most of these reviews are from men complaining about being in Pattaya to "visit their girlfriend", but the hotel staff was rude to them and wouldn't let them in. Bad for hotel, but good for the overall image in general In Canada Chinese immigrants have already made some pretty dodgy cities liveable. Chinese are good for economy. I hope the trend continues and Pattaya becomes a major tourist destination it's meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorechang Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 You ever had breakfast with the Chinese in a hotel What a disgusting experience, only did it one once. Wont name the place second road pattaya. Think they lower the tone of any Hotel in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I spent breakfast with a bunch of Chinese in a Jomtien hotel, the place would have been closed down and bankrupt if they depended on their historical Eastern European clientele, who have been staying home in droves. Give me a bunch of loud and fun loving Chinese folks over a drunken mob of over-entitled escapees from "the commonwealth" any day of the week.

lonewolf99 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Having lived and worked in China I can only say that their table manners are worse than starving labradors. Salivating spitting and snorting through a meal. Jabbing their chop sticks into every bowl after slurping all over over them. The noise level of what they consider a normal conversation is louder than a 747 at take off. 99% of them smoke and totally inconsiderate of others around them or non smoking signs. They think nothing of blasting snot out of their nose in swimming pools and hacking up phlegm and spitting it anywhere nearby. Lovely people, even more bad news is that have strated to buy property in Jomtien. Coming to your neighbourhood soon..... your worst nightmare. I live in a condo full of transient ex-soviets and also long term ones, they bother no one and keep themselves to themselves. Perfect, nothing like the well publicised moronic tourists from big red china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunLover2 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Tour groups usually bring down the ambiance of a hotel as they are low priced junket based travelers. This includes Chinese, ME or sub-continental travelers. Try to check in or check out when busloads of people are trying to do the same thing. Same for the restaurant or pool area. Their pack mentality over run their surroundings as they are all on the same schedule, and the group mentality reinforces their worst social behaviors.

hands22 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The Chinese are plain inconsiderate! Last week I was rudely woken up by not 1 but 9 or 10 continuous loud banging of the hotel room doors as they checked out early in the morning in droves. They never think about the other guests. Can't they close the door gently? It was 5am for god sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i claudius Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My wife used to rent nice condos in a condotell,then the Chinese tour groups came ,she no longer rents there and anyone who owns one has two hopes of ever selling and one is bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yeah, like slavery is good for a country. For residents in Pattaya area the Chinese bring only one positive trait: They travel in herds and are fairly easy to avoid. The Russians were far worse in that regard.

guzzi850m2 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 He-he, first the Russians and now the Chinese, I wonder who will be next. Yes quite easy to avoid them, mostly. We had dinner tonight in a German restaurant located on Naklua road and one or 2 tables were occupied by Chinese but they were pretty well behaved. I did notice that about 100 big buses passed out on the road during our dinner, going in each direction filled with Chinese going somewhere, adding to the traffic chaos big time.

moonseeker Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Chinese good for Thailand? I doubt very much. Maybe because otherwise there would be not enough business for hotels, restaurants and third class Thai attractions to even keep their doors open. Some entrepreneurs, i.e. dinner shows on sea, are profiting big times, however. Traffic jams with many hundreds of buses is reaching ridiculous, unregulated levels. Chinese are some of the most uneducated, rudest and most disgusting people I have ever seen. Any hotel booking these groups will go down the drain in every respect. Friend just told me how now even Samet is overrun by thousands of them and has lost any appeal to "better" tourists. Thailand is slowly declining into a low class Asian tour group destination and has left very little of it's charm it had about 20 years ago. BTW. Much fewer Indians this season compered to last year. Another classy group of tourists :-) MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Are Chinese tourists good for Pattaya? In as much as they bring in cash, yes. But it's hard to imagine who would replace them if they weren't here. Decades ago airfares were high and so most tourism here was fairly upmarket, though maybe the tourists didnt always come with the best of intentions. In fact I can remember when the arrival of US Navy ship offshore was a sign that there may be some unusual rowdiness in town. Today the US Navy would be considered high class visitors. Since then the air fares have got cheaper and I've seen the quality level of tourists drop consistently, year after year. I just wonder what will be the next step downwards? How much lower than Chinese tour groups is it possible to go? Edited February 22, 2016 by KittenKong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemorechang Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) At least they are coming , seems like the Australians have stopped , now they were good for the economy , Not so sure about that, maybe 50 % good for the economy. Like they were great for hotels and guest houses. But not so good for Bars, after two pints they have to go home. that's not so profitable for the bars.

fakename Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I doubt that the Chinese tourist are coming here to create traffic jams. Do you think they bring their own busses and park them on every street? I can remember Ibiza years ago, when the tourist from one of the islands off the French coast, would be drunk all night long, on the streets and in the hotel, High Class?

hawker9000 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 'Some serious trolling going on here... No one can possibly take the OP seriously. If you have any doubt, just chat up some of the locals and ask them what THEY think of the Chinese. (Ethnic chinese hisos don't really count...). Don't be surprised if they just make a sour face.

Monkeyrobot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think the guy from the another forum should stay there or join the Chinese forum if he thinks there good for Pattaya. I would rather eat with the Soi dogs , the Chinese are a pain in the ass. I was in DM airport the other day and nobody could get a seat at the gate as the Chinese decided to make beds out off them. There rude , loud and care about nobody but themselves. When the bus loads of them travel to Pattaya they block the streets and the side walks. Ask the room cleaners at the hotels they stay what there like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
