AhFarangJa Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As Kingofthemountain has said, I too was under the impression that any proprietor has the right to refuse service. I have, in the past read many signs in Bangkok refusing entry to Arabs, Indians, nothing was done then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenophobia, racism, and bigotry are far more harmful and dangerous than a virus which is now treatable with antiviral drugs and which most people will survive intact. Go away and stay in your nice safe house full of white Aryans. That was swift. Rooster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smew Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Well, seems the they are trying to protect their regular customers and you can not blame them as most likely their majority income comes from Thai people. I would not allow or want to associate with anyone from Wuhan province at the moment. Have you people any idea what BKK would charge you for 14 day stay and coronavirus treatment at their facilities??? Call me what you want... but look at... trend of these unusual viruses... SARS etc ... always from China...seems history repeats itself.. and why??.. as these people never learned the first time around.. and there will be more.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaopad999 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Of course the police paid them a visit. They simply don't want to damage Chinese tourism any further. they could not give a rats ass about so called 'Racism' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but as far as I remember the corosavirus came from China, did it not? They are simply trying to be careful. I'm sure they would rather have tourists in their restaurant because that = Money Edited February 3, 2020 by Kaopad999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sletraveler Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Read about how Wuhan residents are treated in China if they happen to be visiting a different region. They are not served food or even allowed to stay in hotels. The government got involved and directed the local authorities to make sure there are available facilities to have them stay. That is they are all housed in a designated hotel or whatever, there is nothing mandating a change in the behavior of the individual business establishments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedemon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 During most of the Nineties western foreigners were not allowed to use the services of the high-end massage establishments in Bangkok popular with Thai businessmen. That was because of the then widely held belief that HIV was mainly spread by westerners. There weren't many Chinese citizens around in those days but other Asian foreigners (Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporeans etc.) were welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The sign should have read " Sorry, we cannot run our Business efficiently and safely due to Corona Virus. We therefore have to inform you that we are now closed until further notice." But we all know how bad Thai,s are with their English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I owned a restaurant I too would not want any section of the population who could kill me by passing on an easily transmissible virus. The racist, PC mob can get stuffed. Out of an abundance of caution I reserve my right and that of any staff to remove the risk at source not via an ineffective mask. Couldn't agree more. You must be a descendant of Typhoid Mary. ????

Tops Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Near the Chinese ambassy in Bangkok several restaurants have signs that the Chinese aren't welcome in the bar or restaurant. My wife was laughing out loud last Saturday as she noticed a sign, on Ratchadayphisek Soi 3 near the embassy, written in Thai saying that the Chinese weren't allowed to enter. Several restaurants copied the sign as they all don't speak any chinese nor English. Chinese can't read Thai... Also saw a sign myself yesterday. We don't serve Corona. We don't drink Corona. We don't sell Corona. We don't have Corona. We don't want Corona. Corona is not welcome here. Take your Corona somewhere else. We are Corona free and we want to keep it this way !!! At Top's Toko they're having a new hit, what is currently sold out. The Corona Burger. A pimped and spiced up burger, made from pork and chicken with a 5" diameter. To be served on a bun with pickles, roasted onions, a spicy ketchup or hot sauce and some lettuce. When entering Thailand at the airport discrimination already starts. Also when leaving Thailand from any airport. Signs with Thai ONLY, as a foreigner you can't use the line for Thai ONLY at immigration. Never seen a sign in Europe saying German, Dutch, Belgiums only on any airport. Edited February 3, 2020 by Tops 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
