Farang banned from Temples and Buses

Post by vincemunday » June 11, 2020, 6:42 pm

Earlier today it was reported that some Thai temples had reopened to the public but tourists (foreigners) were banned from entering. Now it would seem farang are also banned from using the newly reopened bus service, I shouldn't thing either of these situations will worry too many foreigners but it's a worrying trend. What next?

I don't think banning Farang from Temples will be applied much in Udon Thani, certainly not the Temple down my way

Up to Thai's what they do. Just wish they'd turn down the volume with all that chanting!

Now Vince, you are starting to apply logic to the decisions the Thais make :lol: :fryingpan: :fryingpan:

I doubt many know how to spell the word, let alone apply it :confused: :confused:

Sadly no, it is not me , I do not expect logic in many Thai actions therefore rarely comment on its application or lack thereof.

Who says it's happening anywhere?

If there's one English language internet tabloid in Thailand that's permanently on my ignore list, it's Thaiger

I was also out visiting temples with the family to pass the time last weekend, no issues. On the other hand, if they want to ban me from temples, wouldn't phase me at all. Not sure that would help with any efforts to increase tourism though, good luck to them.

I'm pretty sure that most (if not all) monks will still be happy to receive "merit" from anyone of any race colour or creed

Your lack of self-awareness is stunning, KP - given that you are far and away the most consistent commenter on UM on this point.

2 full pages of it, starting here search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keyw ... 9&start=20

I imagine UT copped a fair dose of your nonsense also, when you were blessing them exclusively with your presence.

Tammy, not Thaiger but lots of others reporting it.
