Deepinthailand Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This is the easiest topic to post in what makes a low class tourist. It's so simple according to 99.99999999999999999% of Thai visa posters Anyone not on this site is a low class tourist.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have always considered 'class' is a matter of standards and not wealth.I have known guys over here with plenty of money,who act like pigs,abuse the Thais,both men and women for their ignorance,when they are more ignorant than the people they slander. On the other hand i have known normal,well behaved tourists who save all year to come here ,and enjoy themselves without causing upset or offence to any body,and do so on a limited budget. Just because a guy likes a drink and chooses to avail himself of the ladies,who,by the way are more than eager to please,doesn't mean he is 'low class' on the subject of dress,'class' is shown when wearing attire that is clean,smart and does not offend the Thai culture,and there's a lot of women who could learn a lesson there.i have met guys with degrees from their own countries who come here and sow themselves up.You dont have to be Einstein to know how to behave. And what the hell has accommodation got to do with it? Not everybody can afford to stay at the Dusit,or the Hilton. Anyway dirty chang t,shirts and cut offs aside,i was of the impression that the class system was dead and gone. I feel very sorry for the sad people judge a person by his assumed class.Dont forget,this is the land of reinvention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 By the way,i thought that the two who were engaging in oral sex in public on that island the other week.Well that guy and girl showed some real class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of low class tourists dress neatly and can string a sentence together A low class tourist is here for paid sex ,boozing and maybe finding a wife they can buy Your first question, I would say that describing a person who is shirtless is how they look, they are showing disrespect towards the Thai people, therefor they are low class tourists, your second sentence, yes, low class tourists or expats can dress well, but get drunk and stagger down the street, then cannot string a sentence together. Your last sentence, if they are behaving themselves, then paying for sex and finding a wife would not make them low class tourists, then again, if the are boozing themselves in to a drunken state, then they are low class tourists.

Looks, behavior etc is secondary. (2 week millionaires are especially welcome). Ouoops ! Now I have given away a well kept secret. Cheers. The two week millionaires would have to behave themselves, no drunkeness in public, no disrespect to the Thai people, ie wearing the appropriate clothing while visiting a Temple, and of course being shirtless etc. If not, then they are low class tourists no matter how much they spend IMO.

I have been guilty of the first part but never seen any poop on the street. I guess the area's I travel in are to high class. As long as they have the cash does class really matter? Its a cash grab numbers game and money spent by the lower class still benefit the economy. Welcome them all with open arms and they will open their wallets.

You obviously don't, but the amount of people posting do. "who gives a flying f#*k"? Going by that answer, it must be assumed that you are a very low class tourist or expat. a complete undesirable.

Just imagine Pattaya without the obligatory mid-life crisis, the beer bellied biker on a loud Harley with tats, pony tail and leather vest. The place would be soooo much nicer.

I don't care how rich they are, or what 5 star resorts or hotels they stay in, or how much money they spend, if they walk about the streets and shopping malls shirtless, they are disgusting, and low class tourists. Buying a wife? You mean joining an introduction service? Have they not gone out of business now due to internet dating? Finding a wife, you mean barfining different girls until you find that "special" one? Is that all that different? IMO, I don't think that in itself would make someone a low class tourist.

Buying a wife by offering a monetary incentive to partnering up with them. How they find the wife is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cos u are married dude that doesn't stop your future visits here being as a tourist...this time with your wife. Why would marriage negate you being a tourist if u don't live here?
