optad Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thailand needs more like the fella in the white shirt and back pack. He created the diminution of the conflict and did so for public service. It would have ended differently otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little mary sunshine Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Another warm welcome to Thailand...I'm sure this tourist will share their welcome with many of their Countrymen and visit other Countries in SE Asia, and never return to Thailand.

MRDave Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The Thai guy looks like he skipped a few meals, I've never seen anyone that skinny outside of an African famine. One punch would probably kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me it had started before the video started rolling. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect It started when the Chinese man got on the train his luggage bumped in to another passenger, the two men finally get off the train and continue to argue and yell at each other in station.

I've ridden on the BTS numerous times when Chinese tourists have gotten on and been very pushy. On more than one occasion a small group very deliberately pushed people and bumped them with suitcases. They were often loud, blocked the door, and made it very difficult for people to exit or enter. In most of these cases, it was unnecessary. Public courtesy is the exception rather than the rule with the Chinese. It's difficult to believe they are on the same continent. Yes that's true, PRP Chinese they can be incredibly obnoxious in groups,....regular bock up the isles around swampy airport without giving a S**t about others passengers. Interestingly when you see the 'mainland' Chinese in Taipei, the Taiwanese can't stand them...they think their ignorant peasants... pushing to get on and off trains, never cuing, and spitting everywhere!

I found the PRC Chinese to be unbelievably selfish, loud and rude. Not to mention filthy. Taiwan was lovely. Friendly, helpful people who queued up at ticket windows, didn't clear their sinuses in the streets and didn't shove me endlessly. Clearly a cultural and not a racial issue. I said as much in my last post as well....PRC Chinese are like from a different planet to the Taiwanese, but then again their probably told from birth that they live in the greatest country in the world and are superior to an another nationality. I mean have you ever met an refugee from North Korea, the culture shock must be deadly. And I know what your thinking...how is that different from Americans?...Well Americans get a (relatively) free press and unrestricted internet access to find out if its not true in advance...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
