What are some misconceptions people have about Thailand?

Thai Thai is called Ta Thai because the word order is different from Chinese English, with "country" in front and "Thai" in the back. The Kingdom of Thailand, abbreviated as Thailand, is a constitutional monarchy located in Southeast Asia. Located in the middle of the Indochina Peninsula, it borders Myanmar to the west, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the southeast, and a narrow peninsula to the south.

Thailand: It is a member and one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and is also a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Asia-Europe Meeting and the World ** Organization. In the 90s of the 20th century, it became one of the "Asian Tigers", but suffered a major setback in the economic crisis in 1998.

Thailand is one of the world's newly industrialized countries and one of the world's emerging market economies.

1. It is the only net exporter of grain in Asia and one of the world's top five exporters of agricultural products.

1. Southeast Asia's automobile manufacturing center and ASEAN's largest automobile market.

Thai people's view of Chinese is actually very ordinary, and there is almost no difference from other countries, but when you go to Thailand's popular tourist cities, you will still find that the big socks Song family will basically say some simple Chinese, and they are also very enthusiastic and filial to Chinese tourists, after all, Chinese like to consume, and I will share the details with you below.

Most Thais are very friendly to the Chinese

First,Thailand will not be asked to tip when passing through customs, and the situation of being asked to tip is more common in Vietnam customs, but it can be ignored! If you have all the documents, you won't be embarrassed! Don't tip at Thai customs!

Second,Discrimination against Chinese? Non-discrimination! China and Thailand have never had any major disputes, Chinese go to Thailand to consume to tell Zheng, we are the gold owner, on the one hand, people engaged in Thai tourism have a good attitude towards tourists, after all, it is their own business!

Moreover, the street vendors in the lively neighborhoods of Thailand generally speak a few words of Chinese, because there are too many Chinese.

Third,Ordinary Thai people, because of the general belief in Buddhism, are very good! The Thai people I met, whether they were asking the roadside or the innkeeper, were eager to help me, thank you very much! For example, once asked for directions, the other Thai person, not very clear, also helped me ask several people next to me, and also took me away for a while, so thank you very much!

Thailand has a tipping habit, if you really think the other party's service is very good, it is recommended to give a tip, this is a voluntary act, Thailand is Southeast Asia and even the world, Chinese are not strangers, but also basically friendly countries.

First, there is no obvious historical grudge between the two countries (although Thailand was an ally of Japan during World War II, it did not do much bad to China).

Second, there is no entanglement of practical interests between the two countries, including territory, economy and trade, regional hegemony, and so on.

The Chinese population in Thailand is not much of the Thai population, but they are basically relatively wealthy and control the lifeblood of Thailand's economy. For example, the CP Group, Yichu Lotus Supermarket, which has a relatively strong presence in Chinese society, and the Thaksin family, which has political influence in Thailand, are actually all Chinese.

Thailand is different from Malaysia and Indonesia, although the latter two are also rich, they do not occupy a political position, while the Thai Chinese have an economic status and a political status, so they can better ensure their own interests.

In addition, from a practical point of view, China and Thailand shout "China and Thailand are one family", and 8 million Chinese travel to Thailand every year, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries are still very sufficient.

However, one thing that cannot be ignored is that Thailand is actually a pro-Japanese country, first of all, Japan has invested in Thailand very early, and there are many Japanese-funded enterprises in the Bangkok area. The whole of Thailand, from home appliances to motorcycles, is almost completely monopolized by Japanese brands.

Thai people are also full of closeness to Japan, but also more favorable, although Chinese tourists sent money to Thailand, but because of the uncivilized behavior of a small number of Chinese tourists, in fact, Thai people still have a little bit of a glimpse of Chinese tourists.

The Thai people's view of the Chinese is actually very ordinary, almost the same as in other countries. But when you go to the popular tourist cities in Thailand, you will still find that everyone basically speaks some simple Chinese and is very welcoming to Chinese tourists. After all, Chinese like to spend money.

Let's share with you the specific practice.

Most Thais are very friendly to the Chinese.

First, Thailand will not be asked to tip when you close your hands after passing through the customs hole. Being asked for a tip is more common at Vietnam Customs, but it can be ignored! It won't be difficult if you have all the documents! Don't tip at Thai customs!

Second, do you discriminate against Chinese? Non-discrimination! There have never been major disputes with China and Thailand.

Chinese go to Thailand to consume, we are the gold owners. On the one hand, people who are engaged in the tourism industry in Thailand have a good attitude towards tourists, after all, it is their own business! And the vendors on the bustling streets of Thailand generally speak a few words of Mandarin because there are too many Chinese.

Third, ordinary Thai people, because they generally believe in Buddhism, are very good! The Thai people I met, whether they were asking for directions on the side of the road or the innkeeper, were very kind to help me. Thank you so much!

For example, once I asked for directions, the other Thai person, not very clear, asked a few people next to me, and took me for a walk, thank you so much!

There is a custom of tipping in Thailand. If you really feel that the other party is very good, it is recommended to tip. This is a voluntary act. Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia and the world, which is not a stranger to Chinese and is basically friendly.

First, there is no obvious historical feud between the two countries (although Thailand was an ally of Japan during World War II, it did not do much bad to China).

Second, there are no real disputes between the two countries, including territory, economy and trade, regional hegemony, and so on.

The Chinese population in Thailand is small, but they are basically wealthy and control the lifeblood of Thailand's economy. For example, the CP Group and Yichu Lotus Supermarket, which have strong influence in China, and the Thaksin family, which has political influence in Thailand, are all Chinese who are suspicious.

Unlike Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, the latter two do not occupy a political position, although the Chinese also have money, while the Chinese in Thailand have both economic and political status, and can better ensure their own interests.

In addition, from a practical point of view, China and Thailand shout "China and Thailand are one family", and there are 8 million Chinese who travel to Thailand every year. Exchanges between the peoples of the two countries remain sufficient.

However, one thing that cannot be ignored is that Thailand is actually a pro-Japanese country. First of all, Japan has invested in Thailand for a long time, and there are many Japanese companies in Bangkok. Thailand, from home appliances to motorcycles, is almost monopolized by Japanese brands.

Thais are also very close to Japan and have a good impression of Japan. Although Chinese tourists have remitted money to Thailand, in fact, because of the uncivilized behavior of a small number of Chinese tourists, Thai people are still a little disdainful of Chinese tourists.

Chinese hate Thailand, eat, three behaviors that make Thais very uneasy.

Concern. When it comes to the topic of going abroad, decades ago was a very luxurious thing for many Chinese, at that time, not only to have money, but also to have the ability to go abroad, but after a few years of development, he has a great difference from the past, going abroad has become a very simple thing, as long as you want, get a passport can go abroad. Many countries welcome Chinese tourists because they have more spending power than they can imagine.

There is a country that loves and hates many Chinese tourists, what's wrong? Come with me.

This country is Thailand, I believe that if many people choose to go abroad, they will choose Thailand as their first stop, because Thailand is very close to us, it takes a few hours to fly, and moreover, many people want to go to Thailand, which has a lot to do with the ** in Thailand, compared to some areas in China, the ** in Thailand is much lower, and there are a lot of tropical fruits in Thailand, which makes them like to drink water, and people in this area are very yearning. Therefore, we will find that after going to Thailand, there are many familiar faces and familiar native languages in our ears. However, the influx of Chinese into Thailand has also made Thai people very uneasy, especially the three behaviors of Chinese when eating, which make them more irritable.

I mentioned earlier that there are many fruits in Thailand, and Thailand is rich in one fruit that people love and hate, and that is durian. We all know that durian is very nutritious, and those who like to eat it like it like it, and those who hate it also like it. Many people go to Thailand to eat durian, so many people get together to eat durian, originally, it is a good thing for Chinese to consume Thailand, but after consumption, Thai people are not happy.

Why? Because Chinese have the habit of picking out bags, but many hotels in Thailand strictly prohibit bringing durian into the room, because the smell of durian is easy to stick to the cloth and difficult to clean, if you want to clean, you must clean it on a large scale, which is too laborious. In high season, you can only change the bed linen in your room, but the smell will still be in the air, and many people have this taboo, so Thais are very uneasy.

Secondly, when we go to Thailand, we will definitely taste the local specialty food, Chinese eat, there is a habit, that is, drinking, drinking is no problem, but there is a taboo in Thailand, that is, drinking, many accidents in Thailand are caused by alcohol, so alcohol in Thai restaurants is a taboo. If you want to drink, you can still drink red wine or beer.

In addition, many people are used to smoking a cigarette and eating it while drinking, which is a very common state in our country, but if you are in Thailand, this practice is very dangerous, because in Thailand it is very strong, and if you do not smoke in the designated smoking area, then you may face imprisonment. However, most people pay attention to their words and actions after being reminded, but the quality of people is uneven, so there are always one or two people who step on Thai taboos, which makes Thai people feel very uneasy.
