Micbozy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It's getting off topic now, most people here are foreigners/outsider to Thailand, yet they are still living an arrogant life and being racist unintentionally. If the Australians that you have ever met are mostly drunks or sex addicts, you should consider quit doing/hanging the same things/places that they do!

seajae Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 As an aussie I have to be honest, too many drop kicks coming from Australia these days, they get here and act like idiots, the lay back attitude aussies had years ago of "she'll be right mate" is long gone. Too much overseas influence with the young now, aussie get here and make total fools of themselves. Then again so do many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan B Tong Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yep. Aussie, eats, roots and leaves. Poms, drink and have a punch up. Yanks, mostly don't go anywhere. Chinese, bus on, bus off, eat. Japanese, Snap, click or root and raise the rate by over paying. (Thats all I can think of at the moment...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Cheap airline-accommodation packages to Thailand, mass advertised in Oz, are the driving force attracting Aussie tourists to LOS, not Tourism Authority Thailand ads. Unfortunately, most of these packages dump you in one location-resort venue for the holiday duration. There is little opportunity to explore "the real Thailand". TAT need to promote coach tour type packages to get visitors out and about around the countryside of Thailand. Spending 2 weeks in Phukhet or Pattaya is hardly representative of what Thailand has to offer. I suspect many young Australians have little idea really what Thailand offers in the way of tourism, but hey .... it's an affordable overseas short holiday. If asked what they know about Thailand, I suspect many Aussies would say "apparently BKK has amazing traffic congestion, and those limestone islands (Phi Phi etc) look nice." I agree with TAT philosophy of encouraging visitors from Oz. High disposable income and close proximity to LOS would look appealing to TAT.

Why not be like most other countries in S/E Asia...like you arrive without notice at KL, go to the immigration line, wait just a while, put your passport in the slot, your thumb on the mark, smile a bit, not to much and look at the camera "click" and the officer stamps your passport with a 3 months tourist visa, no charge and have a good holiday.

hansnl Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Well, the idea the western tourists and maybe expats spend more and stay longer and are better in the long run as the Chinese hordes and the Russians, is back.

The fact that their football is the grown up version of ours helps also. All that I've meet have been good people.

Americans have an accent, and the poms have completely forgotten how to speak the queens english. I'm sorry, but y'all do have an accent. It's a nice one and not terribly hard to understand, but the fact that it doesn't conform to either the BBC standard or the US news station standard (which they took from Midland American where I come from) means it's an accent. Take it this way; read cot and caught out loud. Do they sound different? If not you have an accent fo' sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
