  1. The blonde appears like she's got everything going for her incl. an entitled attitude which got her into deep water. Fantastic example of cultural arrogance, using physical violence, which she thought she could get away with.
  2. I believe she just did it for hits and publicity online as that is where these so called ' influencers ' derive their income, with their ' likes and shares and follows ' You must factor into this however the WHO. Who IS being influenced? Although conservatism exists across Thailand for example, most clean living, devout Thais shrug-off any notion of moral judgement or disapproval towards Nana. A culture however currently on a quest of ethnic purity and moral superiority (5 thousand years old....) which modern China is - not to mention of course global power, will feed on ANYTHING that perpetuates the bullsh*t they are fed from the State on a daily basis.
  3. The availability of prostitutes in China will be mainly under the radar - where it exists - and for foreigners will come a risk of deportation or visa cancellation, unless all can be conducted under the radar. Some regions have been swept clean(er) under Xi in recent years (the capitals) and others have escaped that. People who live there speak of more liberal times as recently as 6-7 years ago... and "Wang" exemplifies that puritanism.
  4. How on earth can the reaction of the RTP do more damage pray tell?? It's been done hasn't it by her? Apart from anything else, wouldn't you say anyone who stands among an international crowd in a foreign country, decrying publicly the moral values, an offence back home undoubtedly, is beyond arrogant!
  5. You clearly don't understand China. The woman represents the majority there. Period. There are no "Nanas" because prostitution is illegal.
  6. .... quite what the confusion is according to one person is beyond me - unless he doesn't know who Roger Waters is most likely.
  7. With respect nobody has grasped what I believe this is about, understandably. It's not connected IMO with the police stations as an earlier poster commented. The report seems to read that the TAT Governor made the proposal in light of falling tourism (therefore her/his attempt to rectify it) and here's the key bit "...following discussion in China with tour groups" - which tells you everything about how the world outside the borders of a largely cut-off country culturally, and 'inter-connectedly', sees the free world, eg Thailand. Also how rife poorly informed online gossip floods their social media about how bad this country is.... how unsafe that country is... whether Thailand, USA, Laos, the UK.... an utterly cosseted people. The TAT Gov has clearly been cajoled into thinking of ways to extend the nanny state into the freer world, 'so that tour groups will feel safer'.... as Roger Waters put it..... "PATHetic".
  8. There are NO Chinese holidays until February. After this week's holiday they will move en-masse as always, back to work and school primarily. Nothing to worry about for those like me who cringe at this article.
  9. Has anyone played "China spotting" in Bangkok...... great fun..... I could go on but better not.
  10. LOL.... I do sympathise with that but to clarify (IMO) the naturally sweet smelling Moroccan et al you find often on the continent, as compared with that overpowering SKUNK in and around London... repulsive. It was never like that back in the day. In fairness skunk I have not caught a whiff of, in Thailand.
