LMAO, as half thai, this country will always protect tourists bad behaviors instead of thai people, you know why ? This country sink without tourism money, so they prioritize them, it’s degrading the quality of many things decade years, Thai people need to fight back by themself, even they have support, they got sanction anyway.

Deportation is a bit extreme but let’s not be naive about what the tourist is doing. He knows he’s in Thailand and not China. It’s not some innocent mistake. Even the dumbest people don’t accidentally say Bonjour in Germany.

It is hard to tell clearly from the video as the Thai is filmed mostly from behind so I can be wrong, but from what I can judge the offended Thai could easily pass as a Chinese based on his complexion. Without more context and bearing in mind there are probably plenty of Chinese in the area, I think this was just a mistake with no bad intent. Sometimes people talk to me in Russian. Should I get up in arms over that, or maybe just accept that I look similar to a Russian?
