thai3 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Although I detest Islam as evil and divisive I do like staying in a Hotel with a lot of Muslim guests, as we did last week in Bangkok. For one thing it means the menus are more extensive. Another positive is that they are not likely to come back at 3.a.m drunk and causing a noise, or worse have a new 'girlfriend' in tow then keep you up half the night while they get their monies worth. Muslim visitors are OK by me. Edited February 13, 2017 by thai3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 When I came to Thailand on holiday I never got asked what religion I was by the immigration. Maybe times have changed. Why class people by their religion. Why not class them on what they come to Thailand on holiday for.- The beautiful beaches- The friendly people and interesting culture.- The entertainment side- The outdoor adventuristEtc.... not- Lets build a muslim pray room- Muslim food- Bibles in the hotel draw- Koran in the hotel draw- kosher meat in the fridgeLeave religion out of it T.a.t lady. Don't label us. We come to Thailand as one. The holidaymaker. Or should we have 3 lines at immigration airport arrivals. One for Christians, one for Muslims and one for Buddhists.

It's just another lure, different bait catches different tourists. Got to have a some sort of method for boosting those numbers. No better or worse than any other idea ...if it succeeds that is.

Wilsonandson Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Besides a prayer room, some facilities such as the swimming pool are separated for men and women.Different lanes, a plastic divider, two seperate pools or the women swim in the shallow end and the men in the deep?Do they wear a special swimsuit too? Anyone know? No bigotry intended. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
