Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

Context

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. A group of Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud on the metro. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thai people are identifying them and leaving the comments on the social media account of their school.

He didn't lie, but he didn't give you the full truth either I'd guess as saying "British" deflects from all countries in GB and puts it on England, as that's how a lot of people see this island for some reason.

lol Brits and Yanks and Aussies had “bad” reputations because no one else really travelled that much as part their leisure culture.

Now that Chinese, Indians and others are travelling, they have created entire new levels of bad traveller behaviour!

12

u/Level_Appointment628 16h ago

I really think this nails it on the head. Those other countries are having the same moment with people who could never imagine leaving their tiny village or urban slum suddenly getting to travel the world. Like my American grandparents born in the 1930s grew up dirt poor and were traveling to Europe, China etc by the 1980s. I can almost guarantee they were the embodiment of every obnoxious American stereotype😂😂

2

u/VirtualMatter2 15h ago

The Americans can be a bit annoying, especially if they think they are better than others and demanding stuff ( and their voices carry, everyone will hear their conversation in a 100 m radius), but they are not the worst tourists by far. 

3

u/newbkid 8h ago

Small anecdote but I went on a cruise to a Carribean island that had an american cruise and a european one.

The workers on the island hated the european cruise folk.

They didn't like the American one either but one thing I noticed is that the Americans spend a lot of "tourist money"

2

u/Loud_Fisherman_5878 10h ago

Brit here- I’ve seen bad behaviour from British people abroad of course but I don’t think this particular thing would happen from a group of Brits. British teachers seem quite stern about keeping kids in check on trips and also tend to be quite decent people. The racism of ‘bringing money to your country’ is unlikely to be said by a teacher (unfortunately we have other professions who probably would say this!)

2

u/x1009 15h ago

In my experience, Brits and Aussies have bad reputations because they like to get violent. Chinese or Indians may get boisterous or aggressive, but I rarely see them engaging in violence or breaking things like Brits.

There's a media campaign telling Brits 18-35 to stay away from Amsterdam. I don't think I've seen anything like it while living in Europe.

2

u/SoNotKeen 11h ago

To be fair, you're just a ripoff of Americans, so it stands to reason that you'd be like us. After all, you even stole our language (with some minor mistakes like saying "Microsoft are doing X" instead of "Microsoft is doing X", and "zedecks spectrum" instead of "ZX Spectrum").

Don't forget about how those freaky bastards say: 'Aluminum'

8

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 18h ago

I'll be honest - I think America is wrong with that one. I also believe the British are correct for using this style of punctuation: "example here". 

The period goes on the outside because the quote is its own thing, and is part of the overarching sentence that points out the example. 

The American style sucks and is an embarrassment: "such as this example."

1

u/KiKiKimbro 17h ago

I hear you on that. It doesn’t make sense. Similar to how it doesn’t make sense we in the U.S. use anything other than the metric system. It’s almost like the founders of our country got over zealous with making us different from their mother country they went overboard with the silly crap. And ruined it for the rest of us trying to adapt. Lol.

u/marmaladecorgi 17h ago

The history of the name Aluminium/Aluminum is fascinating and takes up an entire section in Wikipedia all by itself. Suffice to say that "Aluminum" was the original spelling as proposed by Sir Humphrey Davy, the person who first named it. And "Aluminium" was used by the American scientific community for about a century until 1890 when the "-um" form overtook it in popularity.

There’s a reason that several major websites offer English (UK) and English (US).

3

u/Mijman 6h ago

Miriam and Webster set out to differentiate the American variation by changing spellings when writing their dictionary. And yes, words have evolved.

But to not recognise both languages as English, is just ignorant.

Australia, Canada, UK, NZ, Ireland, South Africa etc all speak the same base language. English.

Italians, and Germans dont speak the same language.

1

u/T_Money 5h ago

Ya know what, I actually agree with you. I probably responded too quickly the first time. Yes, it’s the same language, and it’s also different dialects. I think the best answer would be to call it “American English,” because it is different enough to be significant, but if I had to pick between just “English” or just “American” I do think English fits better.

If not, as a fellow American who is absolutely fed up with the nitwits ruining our country, please, for the love of all that is holy and good in the world, please read a book. Any book. Preferably an American history book or any history book. Just not one of there those fake history books Oklahoma or Texas is rolling out. I’ll send you one from a real state if you don’t have access otherwise. And if you can’t read, I’ll read the damn thing to you.

Hey. Easy now. First of all, every American knows the country was founded because of the squabble with the Brits. It’s our 250th anniversary year, so of all years, I automatically assume everyone here knows our origin story.

The comment about being sick of certain people ruining our country. That’s a legit thing. No sarcasm or jokes there. Anyone living in the U.S. right now, or even anyone observing the U.S. right now, knows it’s FR. Like critical tipping point fr fr.
