London Crocodile Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 While having lunch today i got talking to a group of Thai people, we talked about a number of things but the one that interested me most was the way they viewed Americans who travel to Thailand. I got the impresion that they viewed them as being arrogant, insensitive, over-materialistic and ignorant about local values. The overall concensus was that Americans are rich, dumb, and happy - and it is therefore justified that they be cheated and overcharged. What are your thought's on the average American in Thailand?

backflip Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I absolutely agree. The movie "The Ugly American" depicts the graceless, ignorant, selfish, and condescending nature of American politicians. American tourists are even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
