Jeremy50 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Incredibly sweaty inside a tent in Thailand. As for their pitch, why not? I am surprised the pollution and heat have not already rotted it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopenhagen Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Fresh young people, they will hopefully go far in their lives, breaking the rules sometimes to achieve what you want when it's a great experience and not hurting anyone is the way to live... rock on ! ...and off course I expect they would be apologetic and quietly move out when made aware of the emotional travesty they are causing on the fragile Thai people by obscuring a tourist attraction...

koolkarl Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I have seen other shots of this and they are Chinese. I hope the Thai police kick them out of the country. Personally, have come across many Chinese here and vast majority are simply obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thai people "outraged" Are these same people "outraged" by the death-toll on the roads with the bus / coach crashes ? Or some 50+ deaths a day of motor-bike riders ? Wonder how an "outraged" person behaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Paul Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 personally having seen the signs, these people should be immediately kicked out stamped not to return, they then might just realise how ride, ignorant in insensitive they are to the locals.

Dustdevil Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Looks like these two are the ultimate cheap-arse western backpackers. I knew of one jerk who went hiking around Asia; I think he was too cheap to buy a bicycle. He considered himself the ultimate haggler when he managed to buy a loaf of bread off some poor Indian peddler for less than it was worth. These two must be his kids and I'm sure he's very proud of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khun custard Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Now there's something the CM government and tourist industry "captains" should be very concerned about in the future - the emergence of the Chinese backpacker market. Millions arrive, only pennies spent and not in the conduit created (in China or Thailand)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yann55 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 At least they don't look western I don't know, the guy has something of the trustafarian about him. Well, that won't stop Chiang Mai people from making vicious comments about Westerners because they are among the most racist, bigotted, homophobic, conservative, parochial locals I have met in this country. Give them a reason, any reason, to rant against Westerners and they will go for it with a vengeance. I always hear people around here talking about 'the Thais' as if they were a homogenous people, but they're not. Not in the least. The differences between Esarn, the North, Bangkok and the South are huge, and the ones that earned Thailand the label 'Land of Smiles' were Esarn people, who are the most numerous and also the poorest. In the North I have met some nice people of course, but on the whole I'd say that their hatred and contempt for white people is often palpable, and smiles are scarce, especially in Chiangmai.
