Bardeh posted:The weirdest thing about Chinese tourists is that I lived in Thailand for seven years. I saw Chinese tourists every day, almost everywhere I went. But I never once talked to one. It never, ever seemed like they wanted to engage whatsoever outside their group. Even when they're trying to cut in a line or something and you say something to them, they look through you with this weird blank expression like you don't actually exist. It's so drat weird. I lived in one of NYC's Chinatowns and it's like that there too.

My favorite thing about the big box stores in Thailand was that a lot of them have a little four shop foodcourt or whatever so you can get some gravy noodles before walking around the store to buy a green plastic washbasin about the size and shape of a car tire. It may or may not come with a fitted strainer basket

I stay glued to my wife and her family whenever I'm over there though, which is how I've survived this long already. I should really go back through my Thai language tutor notes before my next trip there...

I used motorcycle taxis to get around Cambo for the most part. Busses for trips between cities. Guys loitering around on their bike with a ballcap on can be hired by the trip or for longer. They don't speak much English but you'll figure it out, its fine. In Phnom Phen they are even fairly honest about the prices (which I'm sure have gone up since I was there -- a quick trip was between 50 cents and 2 dollars depending on distance), not that I really get bent out of shape about getting hustled out of 20 cents if they go that route instead. I rented a bicycle to look around Angkor but I was there in April (hottest month) and wished I had rented a mototaxi guy instead (they drive you to a temple and wait outside bullshitting with eachother until you come out to go to the next one, most will agree to do this for the day at a certain price, many will happily let you book them for several days and be waiting outside your hotel in the morning for you). It was however nice to be able to cruise around the city a little though, I'm not really a highlights kind of guy I just go somewhere and start looking around to see whats there, so even when I was in Siem Reap I did some of that. My mototaxi guy for the killing fields (Phnom Penh) did his best to also be a tour guide despite having been in a wreck the day before, having a horrible limp, and speaking no English. He improved the overall Touel Sleng experience by pantomiming torture methods employed near the sites they were employed at and was very friendly. At the killing fields at the end of day he told me to head on back to the parking lot if I was ready and I pretty much was but he hanged back a little to rip a piss into one of the former mass graves before limping along to catch up. raton fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Oct 15, 2018 |

Gunstav posted:What is the appeal of Chiang Mai? A lot of people say it's a must visit in Thailand, but most of the recommendations are temples and cooking classes... Am I missing something? It's relaxed, there are mountains around, and it's not as hot as Bangkok. The Thais up there are even more placid and gentle than the rest of them. Maybe 10% of the people who say they love Chiang Mai do so because they want a less urban setting or mountains or they like the Northern food and culture more. 90% of the Chiang Mai is a must visit people however I think are basically telling you "I found the world's most opaque giant sized tourist bubble where you can pretend to be abroad but speak nothing but English all day and eat the food you eat at home and the internet is okay, also the elephant camps I love elepahants heheh I'm girl elephants I love them" It also used to be so cheap to live there that it was basically free -- I mean you could get an aircon apartment for less than 200 USD a month without really trying (way less if you tried), food was about fifty cents a meal. That's probably all at least doubled by now but whatever. On the negative side, it's absolutely glutted with tourists (more so than anywhere I've been that wasn't a theme park) and is the drop-shipping retard capital of the world, has a "public" transportation system that basically guarantees it's 40 minutes to go anywhere you want to go, and is stunningly boring.

ReindeerF posted:Most everything that people rave about as part of Chiang Mai happens outside of Chiang Mai. You can base yourself out of any number of the cities up there and do the same things. There's nothing wrong with Chiang Mai, it's fine, but it's become very overcrowded in recent years, especially since the Chinese influx. Still, if you want a major airport and plenty of tourist amenities in addition to access to all that, Chiang Mai is a good choice. These days, with all the LCC flights, you can base yourself our of Chiang Rai, Lamphang, Phrae, Nan or a number of places and access a lot of the same things. My understanding is that Khorat is #2 but that's just based on poo poo I read online and like you said the population figures you see online aren't reliable because what they call one "city" is often actually a county or whatever It's also a little weird to point out that Chiang Mai or Khorat are #2. It's not like the step from NYC to LA. Bangkok has something like 12 million people in the metropolitan area (official numbers are around 6 million but from my understanding they don't count all the population that is seamlessly adjacent, my numbers could be wrong though). Khorat is at max one million and feels like it's probably half that, same with Chiang Mai. Bangkok is the only serious city in Thailand.

ReindeerF posted:That's a very interesting point of discussion in analyzing inequality in Thailand versus some other developing countries. Turns out, unsurprisingly, that when wealth is distributed across more places you have a greater distribution of wealth. That Thailand has managed to maintain feudal levels of wealth and income disparity is not only amazing, but clearly intentional. As the researchers at Yale have pointed out, because Thailand was never truly colonized it never experienced decolonization, which means that the ancien regime was never displaced; it simply started wearing uniforms and using Western titles. It's a fascinating petri dish in that respect. There's no strategy on paper that can explain without benefit of retrospect how to go from 1900 Thailand to 2018 Thailand, but here it is, doing what it does. Winner's curse US comes out ahead in WWII and never develops a real worker's movement / healthcare system as a result Thailand runs ahead during colonialism and as a result the old feudal manacles are still way too intact

C-Euro posted:My wife's parents are taking us to Koh Lipe as part of our visit next week, anyone ITT been there and have anything I should talk them into doing there? Koh Lipe is a tiny tiny island. One thing I'd advise is to be on the side of it you plan to be sleep on (there are bungalows on two coasts) by the time the sun goes down. The sea gypsy village is in the middle and they keep a bunch of fuckass dogs there that harried me through the village in a manner that had me take my knife out and get it ready one time. Anyway Koh Lipe is very pretty  There isn't a ton to do actually on the island beyond "hang out on the beach" but it is a launch point for Tarutao which is one of the few Thai islands that someone hasn't found a loophole to build housing on yet. You can go camp there, probably there are day trips I forget When I went to Lipe I got on the wrong boat (the main ferry was addressed over several hours by a series of small boats you jump down to that ferry you to different islands) and ended up on a speck of an isalnd with four bungalows that were operated by a crazed German, it was fine I got to spend the night with this spider

This thread is also for Indonesia, it's just less visited than some of the other countries (not that it's worse or anything, although some parts have very little in the way of tourism infastructure)
