KomodoWagon posted:Not sure about that, but then again I'm not hugely invested in Thai affairs. As far as I understand it, any threat to the monarchy is seen as a satanic act of treason, not unlike Lucifer's rebellion against God. Fanatical royalism was created by the king after the military was sent in to massacre a bunch of students in the sixties, so anyone with ideas simply became anti-royalist. The monarchy straight up controls the judiciary and has a lot of influence over the military so they tend to work hand in hand. Meanwhile the new king is an actual serial rapist who raped so many women he got HIV from it. He made his dog an air force officer and gave it a state funeral. Everyone in Thailand hates this guy and he was one of the reasons the military overthrew the government in the first place. Not because of his hosed up syphilitic brains, but because he is in a shitload of debt to Thaksin Shinawatra, Thailand's richest man, former president, and military enemy number one. Basically the military overthrew the government (led by thaksin's wife as the military exiled him) because the king's health was turning for the worse, and without him they're worried about getting purged by the STD king here's the dog's funeral:  and here's a video of the crown prince (now king) making his wife strip naked and eat cake off the ground:  https://vimeo.com/101336844

Rockin Orthodontist posted:You're all going to jail if you ever step foot in Thailand. Also none of us are under real names so suck it, Thai monarchy. The only things royals deserve is the guillotine. And while American tourists are loud and annoying and almost perpetually drunk, they at least give you money for no drat reason sometimes (tipping is uhh, not a thing in Europe usually) so they're more tolerable. Same with Chinese groups, they know they gotta pay for us to put up with them, but I swear if you're on a schedule they're worse than the Italians; there will always be at least one of those dudes that when you rush them, slowly ambles to the toilet, then stops to take a smoke and I have to tell his wife that if he's not here in less than a minute, he gets left behind. (Which I'm now forbidden from doing because they complain about it, then my boss complains about not keeping a schedule) Every single time I heard we were getting Israeli groups, I'd ask for time off. Jesus loving christ man, if it wasn't the Haredi with their loving "no, we gotta bring our own cutlery, chefs and food!" it was the uber entitled shitheads. The only people close to that level of entitlement were rich Indians, but those are thankfully rare here. Gods, I love the tourism industry. We only just managed to avoid having a huge Chinese run resort in the country too, because of xenophobic politicians.

My day off outside in Shenzhen today: I had a walk today and saw a good white goon. He sped past me on the stairs and I walked behind him for a while because we were both going the same way. He was wearing Doc Martens with superduper-cuffed baggy jeans (like they were for someone 30cm taller than him and he thought rolling them into a big wad at the bottom was a good idea), and a button-down dress shirt that clashed as hard as possible with the rest of his outfit. He had the typical undercut, but had frosted the ends (I guess he had frosted tips before it grew out). Along with that, his waist/pelvis was very small for his age and height. Like a US size 24-25 pants size it looked like, but he was about 175cm tall. He was X shaped, to describe him properly. I know he can't control genetics and that's okay, but he wasn't doing himself any favors with the clothes and it made him look terribly goony. I would imagine seeing this guy near a store that sold Games Workshop stuff. The only thing missing was the fedora. Anyway, he goon-stared at every girl he walked by. Like, he would turn his head and then move it up while he scanned them from bottom to top. For some he would turn around and walk backwards for a few steps while staring, and then continue forward. He did his for every single drat girl he walked by. People were staring at him staring at girls, especially when we were going past the bus stop. It was embarrassing to be walking a bit behind him because I felt like people were going to assume I was going to do the same. It was just so drat goony. Some girl on Wechat wanted to add me so I added her and she tried three times in about ten minutes to find out what my job is. I told her I would tell her later once we got to know each other. She would just rephrase it and ask again. I told her it was rude to ask the same question several times after the person didn't want to answer. She said I was the rude one here, being rude for not answering her question. Then she deleted me. I forgot that "turning the tables" on someone in China is a massive gain of face for the table turner, so I lost a lot of face that time. It's also funny how doing that is considered a good thing here and not something you're supposed to stop doing after your tenth birthday. You could actually win every argument in China just by repeating "I know you are, but what am I?" until the other person gives up. For this reason alone I wish Mainland China was democratic. That debates... holy poo poo. I also stood in line at the supermarket and had a lady in her 50s behind me who very very very obviously poo poo her pants and was just going with it. For a split second I thought she was buying dried daikon or something, but when that really acrid poop smell hit me my eyes began to water and I immediately stepped away from her. We made eye contact and she gave no fucks. She was buying a juice and a package of cookies. Finally, some guy walked up to me and stuck his phone right in my face. I was messing with my own phone at that moment, and for some reason my India instincts came in and I raised my free hand high over my head in a "I'm going to slap you" motion. This works very well in India for vendors, beggars, and animals and I don't know why I suddenly did it. I looked up to see a Uighur guy stepping back quickly, clutching his phone to his chest like he it was his child.

In BC, Australian tourists are by far the worst. If pubs and clubs could possibly have "NO X NATIONALITY" it would be australian every time. If there's a group of lovely looking dudes getting thrown out of a club and getting fighty with a bouncer, it's disproportionately australians. They love to get violently drunk and think their awful accent will charm them out of fights and into every lady's pants. Instead they get kicked out for starting a fighting or harassing women. Chinese are a close 2nd. They're extremely loud. If your ear just happens to be between granny and her #1 prince grandson on the other side of a shop that she needs to ask if he wants some toy, she'll just scream through your head as if you weren't there. Kid trashing the store, pulling items off the shelves and onto the floor while dripping icecream? Totally fine, parents just ignore it. Kid disinterested in the OMNIMAX movie at the science centre? Just let him climb all over the seats while screaming at the top of his lungs the entire movie, whatever. Very easy to avoid though, just go anywhere more than a 30 second walk from where a tour bus can park. UK tourists are generally nice older people out exploring the world and taking in cultures and landscapes and generally being very polite. American tourists can be kinda loud and rude, but just in an eye-rolling way, not in an assault or street making GBS threads sort of way. That's all locally though. In europe it's a whole other story. I don't know if the chinese are loud and rude in europe because I can't hear them over the brits. I don't know if australians get drunk and violent in europe because they police seem way too busy hauling away another big group of 20-something football hooligans that decided to go smash up a vietnamese immigrant food cart, or women on a stag party who decided to get violent with the wait staff for not letting them get their grope on. Americans in europe generally seem to be the most polite and interested in trying things.

Re: loudness. I know that 东北人 can be a bit shouty at times (and I should know, I have one as a mother-in-law), but even their normal conversation voice that's about 140 dB has nothing on the average American tourist.

A big difference I observed was that, at least in Thailand, Americans abroad are dumb and drunk and rude and whatever, but are generally having a good time and will sometimes forget where we are and try to tip you and it's generally all good. I think this is because our really obnoxious bro-ey tourists are going off to Mexico or the Caribbean instead. Britain's ambassadors to Southeast Asia are sweaty loud leering fat bald men in Premier League shirts and sweaty loud lanky balding boys in tank tops and both of those types will start a fight faster than you can say "Birmingham." I have been threatened by a strange British man for the crime of being in the same McDonald's. I have watched Brits roll around in the gutter of a red-light district sloppily punching each other in the head and shouting incoherently. I got in a shouting argument with a British man on the street after too many beers over whether Polish was a real ethnicity or if the whole thing was just a ruse made up by some sneaky dirty little Slavs to get into Europe. Now, Canadians can be even worse but at least they're quiet about it.
