    Good aim, though - credit where credit is due

    Indeed, and unbelievably I was wearing open toed shoes and I had a gob of spit on my toe. The nerve of that old China woman.

    They put up big signs with rules for them to ignore. For some reason they have a fascination with pigeons.

    I'm so glad I visited all the usual tourist spots before they arrived.

    Took family to the Grand Palace a few years ago and almost got knocked down by swarms of Chinkys running around with selfie sticks. Heathens

    What pisses off the local people, hoteliers, restaurant owners, etc as supposed "beneficiaries" of these tourist numbers is the fact that most of them paid up in full back in China (same as a lot of the Russians), and therefore think they don't have to pay anything else whilst they're here.. The dreaded "Zero Baht" tourist phenomena. They stay in Chinese-owned hotels, get driven around in Chinese tour buses, shown around by Chinese guides, eat in Chink restaurants, the whole fucking caboodle.
    Hence that's why you see them haggling over the price of a bottle of water in the 7/11, and attacking buffets like it's a Tibetan protest, et al. Quality.

    One hopes that some airborne virus with a focus on the chink DNA might be developed in the near future.

    I arrived at immigration at Swampy at 1.00 am this morning and this Chinese guy was screaming at a female immigration officer at the top of his voice.

    Well a group of immigration police turned up and I guess he spent the night in a cell to calm down.

    I also spent some time working in China and have vowed never to go back because of the generally ignorant and rude local people.

    They seriously believe shouting and getting angry at officials will get their way.
    In the China of past, perhaps.
    My wife is just getting used to the new ways.
    Had to calm her down at the police station the other day.

    When I was in PP airport the other week, there was an announcement every five minutes reminding people that the airport was no smoking except in designated areas (which are clearly signposted in Engish, Chinese and Cambodian.

    The chinky fuckers were sparking up everywhere. Fluke would have had a fucking field day.

    My mate lives in Hong Kong and is often complaining about their behaviour, but I'd never had any great problems with them up until a couple of years ago when we landed at Don Mueang. We were queuing up at immigration when a recently arrived flight from China offloaded its cargo.

    Not for them, this troublesome queuing nonsense, oh no. They quickly spotted the lack of airport staff and were under the barriers in no time. It was absolute chaos and not one fuck did they give.

    I doubt they got very far. There are enough cameras and roaming officers in there to spot them picking their noses, so it would have caused a major security incident (by Thai standards).

    No Thai official said a thing. There was pretty much no security anywhere and what followed was everybody who was already queuing rushing forward to try and make sure their place wasn't lost. Elbows ahoy.
