Chinese are a bit different ... a whole lot different ...

I respect the driver. Thais take a lot of crap from tourist. They shoudnt. When you go to another persons house, or another country, respect the local laws, people, and their culture.

The driver was fined and he was ordered to take them to Pattaya by his boss.  The thing that bothers me most is that the boss didn't stand behind the driver when the customers were abusive.

In Shanghai for a month, two days ago read news article in shanghai paper about the poor reputation of Chinese tourists travelling overseas. It will take time for Chinese tourists (particularly those from country regions) to adjust their normal behaviour (which in China they get away with) while travelling in other countries. There is a particular clash between the calm, respectful thai culture and that of China.

 

Article mentioned four Chinese people at a small regional airport who stood on airport Tarmac, blocking a loaded plane from departing because they were protesting that they had first class tickets and were not provided a separate first class bus to deliver them to the plane (these first class buses are the norm in China). They had to travel for 3minutes with all the nasty economy ticker holders. Hahahahahahahaha

You know...I work with Chinese people every day and I know what they are like. 

This story does not suprise me in the slightest. 

Of course not everyone is like this but.....

I spent last winter in Taipei, and there was a big stink (no pun intended) about a Mainland Chinese tourist's toddler defecating in the middle of the airport concourse, only a few feet away from the restroom.  In her defense, she did lay out paper for easy disposal.

Americans went through that 'ugly-american' phase too, in the 1960s, when we became wealthy enough to travel but didn't have a concept of what a good tourist is.  Our Russian friends in Pattaya, same-same.

I think the Chinese are particularly disrepectful of other Asians ...

[cbmgolfer]

Based on my experiences (going to China for 20 years, and a lot in the last 3 years), one of the big problems with the Chinese is that they are constantly told they are the best, smartest, strongest, etc .... TV, newspapapers, internet, etc. are tightly controlled by the Communist regime. Therefore, the average Chinese have a distorted view of the world and China's standing in the world.

I also spend lots of time in China and they seem to be just carrying normal behaviour that has been accepted in china to other countries. Travelling in china I have seen air hostess slapped because plane delayed, only recently have they started prosecuting this as an offence.

 

I have also been on planes where they are landing (20m off ground) and a guy has got up to use the toilet, walking down the aisle, it was a plane where the air hostess chair folded out into the aisle. She told him sit down and when he wouldn't she unbuckled her belt, got up let him past and sat back down and buckled up again. In Australia they would have handcuffed him after a few warnings.

 

I really think it is China cultural norms clashing with norms of other countries.

 

In Australia when a Chinese spits on the sidewalk, you should the looks of disgust they get, anyone who has spent time in china knows this is common and widely acceptable in china.

 

Cbmgolfer, I do agree that many Chinese (not all) believe they are superior to other asians, I have seen many examples of this during travelling and work.

Never looked at it like that..

But it makes sense

While I was doing the touristy trips in Vietnam there was always a Chinese group,and they were always so loud and obnoxious,it was like no one else existed except them

Even at one stage the guide looked so apologetic for their behaviour and I remember him saying to me sheepishly "Chinese...they not nice people sometimes"

Maybe it is just a Chinese thing the Koreans ,Vietnamese were some of the nicest people I've ever met

in the immagration medical office in sydney there is a sign that says  no spitting in rubbish  bins aimed at the chinese with no MANORS,they dont seem to laugh at life a lot to me and money number 111111111

Blunt, rude, selfish, and cheap ! . I know them very well . Lol . But the girls are HOT

[sinbad5]

I've dealt with quite a few very nice Chinese people, but I guess many are ABCs (Australian born Chinese) and immigrants from Hong Kong.

 

My Chinese dentist and his nurse/wife go home to HK often. My god, you should hear the way she talks about mainland Chinese who she says are taking over HK! Rude, pushy, dirty, spitting, cheap, bargain everything, no manners. She really hates them!

Well i hope the women save these things for the bedroom 5555

Hot yes, especially now that they are having a 42 day heat wave (temps above 35). The girls that work for me have decided that short shorts and really short mini skirts are appropriate office attire. As you can imagine I am yet to tell them otherwise. 555555

Hard to believe that every one of those Chinese wasn't beating the weed themselves.
