What made some headlines and raised some eyebrows domestically has gone on to brew up a storm of controversy in Northeast Asia, prompting the men’s Japanese employer to deeply apologize for hurting the honor and feelings of Thailand.

harrycallahan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 In my country it's common for Thai visitors to involve themselves in illegal prostitution rackets. Awaiting an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonbridgebrit Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 And IF it was a load of Chinese men who went for a nude swim, then what ??There would be a whole load of people going on and on with comments like "quality tourists" in sarcasm !!

DavisH Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 A bit over the top, but then again, we are talking about super overly sensitive Japanese. And you thought Thais are sensitive! At leas the Japanese screwed up, took responsibility and apologised. Could you even imagine Thailand doing that??? So my hat goes off to Japan for actually living up to the norm of their culture.

Argus Tuft Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've got a good sense of humour, but SoiBiker is right IMO If not racist, that comment was at the very least a crude derogatory stereotype.. Sorry I must be slow this morning - please explain the problem Go away and watch the South Park episode titled "Chinpokomon" Come back and report once educated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabothai Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Bathing naked is very normal in Japan. Am sure the Japanese men were not aware of xenophobic prudish thailand. Horrified ...... I believe not. Just an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Seriously, who cares. It doesn't take much to excite the regulars here at TV. Two pages of responses so far. Apparently apologizing for something, whether absolutely necessary or not, is an alien concept to many. From a practical point of view, the Japanese employer may have caught some flack from his Japanese customers/clients and felt some preemptive action on his part might mitigate the damage.

Crash999 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thailand should apologize for making an issue of it. Looks like you didn't read the article. Thais shrugged it off but Japanese were horrified and apologized on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwood Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Did "horrified" thailand apologise for the police guy smuggling his gun that was seemed to be owned by everybody apart from him, into Japan "Horrified" Thailand didn't complain about the skinny dipping. The Japanese company they work for chose to apologise after so many derogatory comments on the internet; mostly, it seems, from other Japanese.
