If anything, they'd be "Cheap Rajneeshs" or perhaps "Cheap Adityas" and the like. Cheap Sanjays, India's equivalent of a Somchai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are around 700 million who do not have disposable income, but there are around 100 million very wealthy and 500 million middle class, numbers which pretty much match those of everyone in western Europe. I lived in India for three years and there are a lot more folk there with money to burn than there are here. I agree that you will get some traveling on a small budget, but backpackers from around the world are too. There could be the whole billion of wealthy or middle class, but when culture is to share 1 bottle between 8 people and 1 bed between 4, they will retain status of "cheap charlie" ????

Anyway, this article and the pollution situation warrants an investment in a facemask stockpile. Cheap charlies.is reserved for farangs and there are so many.

Do you think if they promote tourism from indians, the americans and europeans are going to stop coming. edit: Also last time I looked air asia was based in malaysia. No way would thai air asia fly to NZ I bet that the Europeans LOVE to sit in a bar/restaurant with loads of Indians, Chinese, Russians and some soidogs and flowervendors. It's the formula for a nice holiday i guarantee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a zero baht farang. Imagine if I could observe that while simply walking past? Or are you one of those people who can't chew gum and walk at the same time and would have to stop to observe something, so your senses don't get overloaded?

My esteemed guests from India usually demand unlimited supply of water, unlimited supply of toiletries, free taxi rides to any destination, including airport, free breakfast, lunch and dinner served in room and as it turns out minibar provided should also be free because drinks were in the fridge in their room, so therefore its free. And to put cherry on top, all of this in my cheapest room, 600 baht room shared by 2 man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamJar Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 A lot of ridiculous comments here. Easy to call them 'cheap charlies' collectively, but the ones who offer the low prices probably pay similarly in their country for the 'low end' street worker. Not unlike people from the UK who are now comparing local prices to the prices they pay in the UK....and complaining about it. The irony is that the 'cheap charlies' might reduce prices to realistic levels for themselves. The fact is that you were likely 'overpaying' in the first instance for a low end product. On the other hand, I was speaking to a Russian girl the other day and she told me that she charges and obtains 3000 baht for her time from the supposed 'cheap charlies'.

People from the UK do not share 1 bed between 2 man and do not share 1 bottle of water between 8 or 1 girl between 2-10 wanting to pay 100 baht each. People from the UK may well be cheap charlies and will hunt for cheapest price, but people from the UK do not go into 7-11 and start bargaining, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different lifestyle, different culture. Let's be honest. Many just came to exploit poor local girls. So pretending to care about their welfare whilst exploiting them yourselves, just doesn't wash. The only difference is the amount of money you may have to spend. It doesn't make you better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expression ánd they're not Cheap Charlies' contains the embedded suggestion that the current visitors are heap charlies. But then, adopting the Napoleon Wisdom, 'never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by incompetence', would probably be sensible… Besides, adoption of the expression 'Cheap Charlies' speaks volumes about this guy itself... Wow, you are probably one of the quickest on this forum to come out with a negative Thai comment - and that is saying something. Did you read the article? "This guy" gave a talk at the South Asia Travel and Tourism Exchange. That's it. Do you really think he said "Wahey, they are not Cheap Charlies!!"? I'm sure you do because you are so anti-Thai everything, you probably really believe he used those words - indeed you say as much. Quite unbelievable, you really do think he said that. The headline is a spin by the quite consistently poor "Webfact". You do realise that right? Or do you think that all Thai officials write their own internet headlines?
