Members mvan1 Posted February 22, 2015 Members Posted February 22, 2015 When you read through the narrative of the manual, either the Thai's are insulting the Chinese or the Chinese are not good tourists. Based on all the good things I have read about Thailand, I assume the manual does not apply to the behavior of American tourists in Thailand. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/thailand/11416014/Thailand-issues-good-behaviour-manual-for-Chinese-tourists.html lookin 1 Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Not long ago the Chinese government issued guidelines to its own citizens on how to be better tourists when traveling abroad. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/10348977/Chinas-new-guide-to-civilised-tourism.html http://news.yahoo.com/13-hilarious-stuff-china-tourists-094325121.html Quote

Apparently, the Chinese have rather more casual views on excretory functions than most Westerners do. From birth, children are taught that taking a whiz or a dump in public is quite acceptable. And, after reading this little blurb on Chinese public toilets, I can see why pooping in a moat in a Thai garden might seem like a welcome upgrade from the typical Chinese loo. Most of them are squat toilets with little, if any, screening, no hooks for coats or packages, and a floor that has not been washed since Chairman Mao put the finishing touches on his Little Red Book. mvan1 and AdamSmith 2 Quote
