There's is Indian uproar on X over Thailand reducing the tourist visa stay for
#Indians from 60 days to just 15 days. But calling Thais racist is neither fair nor true. Why this happened 👇
- Extremely loud (beyond a joke loud)
- Lack of personal space, pushing
- Treating hotel staff like servants
- Hygiene issues in shared spaces
- Lack of cultural adaptation
- Inappropriate behaviour towards women 👀
- Pack (group mentality) Massive groups of men
- Littering (dropping trash)
- Stealing hotel amenities
- Urinating on beaches
- Indian prostitutes now seen in Bangkok/Pattaya
- Disregard for queues / lines
- Lack of deodorant usage (sorry but its true)
- Working illegally. This is evident in most tourist hotspots.
- Generally rude
- Tight, the perception is Indians don't spend money
All of these issues above have spiraled to a point now where other nationalities are avoiding certain Thai tourist towns and resorts that are heavily dominated by Indians tourists.
Sort it out guys. Its pretty bad out there. Nothing to do with racism. Even Expats Indians in Bangkok having been having this conversation for over two years now and they all agree, by and large the behaviour of many Indian tourists is extremely poor.
