what is more important is how we craft our response when meeting these folks to change their behaviour or if that is too much to hope for, punish bad behaviour. recently i saw a Thai video who take offence at a white tourist for using 'Ni hao' against him knowing he is Thai and not Chinese. rebuke the mat salleh and ended the service on the spot. refuse to give them ride on boat. we should emulate him. money worth nothing without respect. minister should understand this and side with locals and not become their bodyguard like a farking traitor shit.
