I am sorry to hear about you have bad experiences with the Chinese tourism. I am Laos living in US my husband is Chinese. He grow up here maybe that way he not as loud as the original Chinese 😂 but his parents and the rest of his family are amazing people they are kind and understanding human being so I don’t really understand why some of KZbinr in Laos have so much hatred against them. Or like they say ( people dislike other because you can’t be like them) Most of Chinese people are very successful they work very hard. I remember long ago we visit Laos we were driving it was super early in morning we pass by this motors bread cart my brother told me that the Chinese man sell bread. Till this day my brother voice still in my head. Because he say that this why Chinese people succeed because they not lazy.

I think people judge based on what they saw and experienced. However, when it comes to such circumstances, we tend to generalize it as a whole instead of doing/saying it individually. In the case of Chinese tourists, they're not new to Laos. They've been coming to Laos since years ago. Unfortunately, the unpleasant experience most local people had dealt with tourists is mostly Chinese, so people have this picture in their mind and believe that every Chinese are like that which is unfair to those are different, like I explained in the video. Most individual Chinese tourists are nice and respectful, only when they come in a big group they can be annoying. And yes, they're business minded people, and they work very hard😊
@kammerjohn95532 ай бұрын
This is from someone who has been to 40 something countries: no one "really" likes the Chinese. In Southeast Asia, Chinese is synonymous with scams. Golden Triangle, Shanoukville, & etc. Chinese practice a very unethical style of business: monopolies. The phrase "zero coin tourist" was coined for them. China also wants to claim the so call "South China Sea" for themselves, banning Phillipinos and Vietnamese. I can go on...but now you see why?

That narrow walkway does not look safe wet or dry - barely enough room for one person to navigate. Laos is arguably one of the most corrupt country at every level of its society. This is not an opinion but an actual fact based on numerous international and private organization's fact finding. It is a common theme among impoverished nations throughout the world - Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America etc.
