I'm curious: have you had those experiences everywhere in Thailand, or only at the most famous tourist sites? I've read this about Chinese tourists for years.

I'm curious: have you had those experiences everywhere in Thailand, or only at the most famous tourist sites? I've read this about Chinese tourists for years. But all the Mainlander tourists I've spotted in Taiwan and Hong Kong have been normally behaved, which has always been mildly disappointing. Until I finally visited some of the more touristy Thailand temples and saw the behavior you describe. My theory is that the sort of Chinese tourist who fits this stereotype will almost exclusively follow a guided itinerary with a big tour group.
