Will it be Indians Next?

[fountainhall]

The bars in Bangkok are now well attuned to the Chinese tourist invasion even though the earlier Russian and Arab invasions seemed to have had little major effect. With the TAT and the airlines now actively putting more resources into developing tourism from India - it seems Indians spend longer in the country than most other ethnic groups - and the number of inbound tourists expected to have exceeded 1.1 million last year, I guess we may soon be soon be seeing a lot more gay Indians hitting the bars.

If they come as individual tourists and spend money thereby boosting the gay tourism areas and thereby increasing the likelihood of more gay bars opening and thereby increasing the choice of boys for me and thereby increasing the pleasure of my holiday then it's all good. If they come as huge tour groups and behave like all the others then I'd prefer them to piss off and spend their 500 baht a day budget somewhere else.

I would welcome an influx of tourists from anywhere, so long as they come individually or in small groups of friends.

In Sunee I saw 5 young Chinese guys and 2 young Japanese guys. Here's hoping they have finally started to discover Sunee. No Indians as yet, though.

No doubt with a growing economy more Indians travel abroad, I know a few merchants in Pattaya that are less than impressed with the Indians speending habits.
My guess the young Chinese and Japanese that you said you saw in Sunee were either lost or headed somewhere else, by the way how did you know their nationality....did you ask them?

, by the way how did you know their nationality....did you ask them?

From the way they looked and the languages they were speaking probably. I can always tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese but not always between Japanese and Korean and for sure between mainland Chinese and diaspora Chinese.

I have no stake or interest in the Thai tourism industry but like a447 I would welcome people from everywhere as long as they respect and play by local rules. I grew up around diversity and have plenty of Malay and Indian friends; I can't imagine living in a homogeneous society where we all look, act and sound alike.

If you cannot hear them talk, Koreans generally have higher cheekbones. Quite a few also have a sightly drooping, straighter upper eyelid even though the eye itself slants upwards. Since marinated garlic is very popular in the Korean diet, if you are close to them you can sometimes notice a faint garlicky body odour which Japanese tend not to have.

Interesting although the garlic part was a bit TMI.

Would you say the physiognomic difference is still helpful in telling them apart with the wide availability and accessibility of cosmetic surgery in both countries?

I heard them speaking Japanese, which I also speak, so I gave them some info re : the delights of Sunee.

I don't speak Chinese or Korean, but I know it when I hear it.

I doubt they were lost, as Sunee is far off the beaten track . If they were gay - the Japanese guys seemed to be a couple - then I imagine they specifically came to Sunee.
