Thaidude Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I am an Indian and this thread doesn't offend me Yes there are some negative stereotypes when it comes to Indian's(every country has a stereotype) but you should know that we are a billion people with atleast 9 recognized religions which teach everyone different culture. When we are kids we are tought to save money(Talking about the old generation) and our parents too impose the same on their kids which is why Indian's are known to be stingy(or smart?) with money. We like to get the best value at everything and we are not risk takers like the west but I can say the current generation is pushing ahead of these stereotypes(bless the internet) and we are becoming more risk takers and conquerinng the world slowly. There are stupid people in every country who are nothing but a blot on tourism and i don't deny that. Even i am ashamed when i see my fellow indian's misbehaving when they go out but we cant do much about that but times a changing so we can't generalize. I have also seen a lot of brits, americans behaving the same during my travels but i don't generalize because afterall they are human beings. So lets Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Any decline in China Mainland arrivals may be fine with the Chinese government. Its tourists can remain in China for their vacations and add to the Chinese economic growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzedude Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don't care if the Chinese and Indians come to Thailand. Let them come. The Thai government will find a way to make them feel unwelcome at sometime in the not too distant future. The low income Thai on the street will feel the ones feeling the pinch of the low quality tourists. The high quality Indian and Chinese tourists will op for destinations like Singapore, Oz, Japan, Europe, and the US. They are like anyone else who wants value for their money.

Grow up face reality. Funny how the Thais see it differently. What the Indians have to learn is, whereas they might be big shots in their own country they are nothing, just like the rest of us, in Thailand. They strut around believing they are kings, how wrong they are. This is the REALITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inepto Cracy Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The price of cigarettes will go up on Phuket and the plain boxes will be littered every where. Cigarettes are used in India, to be thrown at large mobs of people and beggars, to keep them away from you or your transport. India's population density is 1,065 persons per square kilometer.

losworld Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 4 hours ago, Baerboxer said: I worked and lived in India for couple of years. The statistic at the time was that 25% of the 1.4 billion population didn't have access to a toilet. They were therefore forced to defecate and unrinate in the street, on pavements, doorways, fields, parks or where ever they could! I remember the local MD's secretary saying she had to leave on time Wednesday because that was bath night! They openly said all the secretaries wore flowers in their hair every day to mask the body odor smells! Running water is a luxury there. Not the fault of the people, they make the best with what they've got. But, it creates habits. Personal hygiene and sanitary conditions isn't high on their priorities! Yes they have a huge problem with lack of toilets and women being raped. In fact I watched a documentary and the Indian women cannot go take a dump at night for fear of being raped so they hold it until the next day and do it on the way to work...sad country. They need to fix these things and that ridiculously stupid caste system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
