Same like in indonesia

If you don’t speak mandarin, you have nothing to worry about! It’s sadly the Chinese conning Chinese in these places.

That’s kinda obvious that it’s not happening often, no?

@brianszeto3418 - I'm a regular visitor to Thailand, especially Bangkok, and your concern is a NOTHING BURGER! You're more likely to be killed by an active shooter in the USA than be kidnapped by some Chinese mafia in Thailand. If you're looking for trouble in Bangkok, you will find it! Just like any big city in the world, you have to keep your wits about you!

Just Chinese doing shit to Chinese in someone else country. Thats another reason thai people hate Chinese cos they keep causing problems endlessly.

Are you a mainlander? if not, be thankful.

those are not purses, they're fanny packs.

Your brother is a culture thief. There are only 2.4 million Pacific Islanders in the world and HALF of that population is Black (Melanesians). Your brother is not Micronesian, Polynesian, or Melanesian, so he shouldn't be claiming Pacific islander at all, hence why he's a culture thief. Speaking of culture, Pacific Islanders don't have bamboo dance culture, they don't have the same cultural weapon (kris-wavy dagger) as us Southeast Asians, they did NOT farm or eat rice traditionally, they didn't have a writing system, they didn't have rice terraces, they didn't have those Asian cone-shaped hats that we Filipino call "native hat" (Salakot). But, every other Asian has all those things I just mentioned. Even Indian and Chinese cultures have bamboo dance, you can look up the Chinese ones by searching Chinese bamboo dance on youtube, and you can look up "Cheraw dance" on youtube for the Indian version. And if you want, you can show your brother "Singkil", which is a pre-colonial bamboo dance and ask him if they look anything like the Samoans he's trying to relate to. Most of Southeast Asia consider the kris as their cultural weapon, the Pacific Islanders don't have this type of weapon. The Pacific Islanders, again, did not have rice. And you might say, so what? It's just plain old white rice. Well, that rice leads to rice cakes, which we Asians have 1000s in variety and that is a big part of our culture. That also leads to rice terraces, which even the Japanese and Indians have. And the cone shaped hats, Pacific Islanders don't have that culture... Look up Salakot's wiki page and ask your brother if that culture is "Pacific Islander". Like, do I really need to share more Asian things that WE Filipino have had for thousands of years to prove my point that your brother is a culture thief? You can defend your brother if you want to, but to the Filipino from the Philippines like me and to the PACIFIC ISLANDERS HE IS STEALING FROM, he's a culture thief. Your brother wants one thing, he wants to avoid Asian stereotypes by stealing a cultural identity of a group of people that have 1% ONE PERCENT of our population (2% if we include the Melanesians). Does this sound like something you Filipino-Americans should really be supporting? Like, do you all even think that maybe you should all listen to the REAL Pacific Islanders that are telling you you're Asian? I have talked to so many Fil-Ams in these type of videos and two things stood out to me, the first is that MANY Fil-Ams don't know anything about Pacific Islanders other than Samoans/Hawaiians/Maori, like they didn't even know Melanesians existed. The second is that a lot of Fil-Ams don't know anything about Filipino history or culture, y'all don't even understand that 1/3 of our population has direct Chinese ancestry. The Ifugao that your brother would probably use as evidence for the "similarity in culture" with Samoans, the Ifugao that became famous for their "tattooing culture" that a lot of Fil-Ams in the comment has used to relate to Samoan "tattoo". Those Ifugao that has a RICE TERRACE CULTURE, they came from Southern China, and the tattooing method they use is similar to Southern Chinese. He's your brother, I am a stranger with a long comment you did not ask for, but if you read/didn't read that but you still want to be mad at me for calling your brother a culture thief then I'm sorry, but you Fil-Ams seriously know nothing about Filipino culture if y'all think that Filipino culture is anything remotely similar to Polynesian or Micronesian, and ESPECIALLY Melanesian.
