ThaiWest Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes, a "lack of compassion," … what all considered concerning Chinese 'tourist,' and their lack of consideration for Thai traditions and people, I have no compassion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Water is a factor in a disproportionate number of avoidable Chinese tourist deaths in Thailand. Whilst the lack of virtually all basic safety procedures in Thailand is a major factor, I believe the number would be significantly reduced if it were not for the swimming antics and ridiculous mythology around it of Chairman Mao which all Chinese have to learn.

MissAndry Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Swimming is dangerous, plenty of people of all nationalities dying in the water, and not just in Thailand. The only sure way to avoid dying in water, is to never get in. Sympathy for the family, holidays are supposed to be happy events. Not so much sympathy for the old guy, he should have known better, but he had a good run, he was on holiday and the end was quick. Lots of worse ways to go.
