connda Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 "Another, meanwhile, warns against littering" Better print that in Thai & hand out to locals! No, no! Thais are models of perfect social behaviour. The fact that Thais crash a queue, or that they don't allow people to get out of an elevator or bus before they go in and (among, many, many other things), push a cart in a supermarket in one direction whilst looking at something else on the sidelines and crashing into an innocent shopper are just cultural traits we all should respect. Now, if a Chinese should do something like that, that is bad manners. If I had included, pissing against a wall in the street, zipping up and down in motorcycles on the footpaths, etc. I would have been accused of being a Thai basher by the OCD possessed usual suspects. I wonder if they will start handing out leaflets at Beijing International requesting Thais to refrain from walking around China with their index finger shove up their nose to the first knuckle as they nonchalantly pick at the inside for 10s of minutes at a time. Talk about disgusting behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW72 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 "Another, meanwhile, warns against littering" Better print that in Thai & hand out to locals! I had a wee chuckle to myself when I read the bit about litter. I was having a few drinks at the GFs sister's house today. The GF rips the plastic seal off of a bottle of water and throws it on the ground. I tell her to pick it up and she points at the other assorted bottle tops and the like that have been thrown on the ground during the day as if that is an excuse for her to do so. I pick it up and stick in her beer. She wasn't too happy but it made me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is visiting family during SK and I toke the chance to get some things cleared/cleaned around the house. Now we have this fridge with water dispencer that has to be filled up every couple of days. Next to it is a small ice cube freezer installed for many month already and when I toke that from the wall I couldn't believe my eyes. For as long as that freezer was there the safety capsules from the refill bottles had been thrown behind that freezer. That is not about lazyness, no no, you got that wrong; it is al about mai bpen rai and what you don't see cannot possibly be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill dawg …. chill Great reply, and perhaps even apros pos. Let's see what the pack mentality thinks..incoming, but I'm okay with it. In my dysfunctional world, minor Chinese faux pas like washing in public, hanging panties in the airport is sweet F all. That pales in comparison to all the Chinese drownings in Phuket. HOW ABOUT BEING PROACTIVE IN THAT AREA? I say saving Chinese tourist lives trumps a little poor etiquette on the part of the Chinese. But we can agree to disagree.

AYJAYDEE Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I lived in HK for 20 years and frequently travelled to the mainland on business. I was initially horrified to experience the Chinese people's bad manners, eg, spitting on the floor in a restaurant, but then realised that it is not really their fault. I blame the Chinese communist party who, during the cultural revolution of the 1970s, killed off anybody with any education or culture so that they were left with the dregs throughout society. It is only those Chinese who spend longer periods overseas, eg, for education and business, that understand normal social behaviour. One of the things which used to p*** me off was them queue jumping at the boarding gate at airports and ferry terminals. I would drag the offenders out by their collars and tell them in Chinese that I didn't care what they did behind me but they weren't going to push in front of me. There is no point shouting at them. The only way is to calmly make them lose face. When we had to suffer smokers in no smoking areas I would approach them politely and tell them that I didn't mind them committing suicide but they weren't going to take the rest of us with them. The crowd then laughed out loud at the offender who, having been belittled, would put out the offending cigarette. no spitting before Mao?? lol! try again pal!

You are a Thai basher, you clown, just too thick to realize it ! Why so aggressive? If you can't male a point without abuse, it is you who lacks social skills, any sense of etiquette, and probably education.I find many Asians, from most countries, to be rude and lacking social skills, by OUR standards, but jumping queues seems a way of life in Asia, some countries worse than others. Spitting in the street was a regular occurrence 40 years ago in the west, and I recall campaigns to reduce/stop the practice. I notice that in Australia spitting has reemerged amongst the lower socioeconomic/ intellectual group who see themselves as 'disadvantaged', principally because left wing thinkers tell them the rich are the enemy. I don't see that telling it as one sees it as Thai bashing, but it's worth remembering that different standards exist. The way to change that is education.
