re: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Dan L Man... I can't agree more about the part you wrote about disrespectful tourists. We saw a lot of things that made us sick - especially in vang vieng (screaming and throwing garbage at them, s*** like that). Also terrible when people take pictures without asking as though the people are monkeys in a zoo. The unfair bartering is horrible as well - it's all about getting a fair price for both people and having fun! I always have to laugh when a tourist has a piss fit because they got charged 20 baht too much for a Tuk Tuk or meal (do people forget that a taxi ride is easily 20 bucks back home?) their loss though - it takes the fun out of life and also you run the risk of making a Thai person lose face which can get you in deep s*** real fast I figure all you can do is just be that much more friendly and try to learn their culture. :) keep your chin up though, I fell in love with Thailand and Cambodia. The people are incredible especially considering that so many have it really tough.
