This incident has become popular on Weibo in China, and it has also become popular on major social platforms in Thailand.
Some unfounded exposures actually triggered a "carnival feast" in which Thais complained about Chinese tourists.
Here's the thing, the self-media account @Blue-skinned GiantHuang translated and exposed some screenshots of the Thai network:
On April 16, 2024, a Thai netizen shared his experience of meeting two Chinese tourists at a 711 convenience store in Thailand, which has been retweeted by more than 70,000 people on the Thai network.
According to him, the two Chinese tourists were careless and used other countries' currencies when they paid for them, so the convenience store staff pretended not to understand the Chinese tourists' English and refused to pay for them.
The Thai netizen knew Chinese, so he went over to help the convenience store staff, and used his Chinese to ridicule the two Chinese tourists, and finally ended up with the Chinese tourists running away............ This kind of "cool post" made Thai netizens excited, and the retweet and comment area became a carnival of complaining about Chinese tourists (the picture below is from Weibo)
The Thai netizen who broke the news also posted "the currency used by Chinese tourists at that time".
And now judging from the picture above, the Thai netizen's revelation is far-fetched, first of all, this is a photo of the currency, not a photo of the first scene of the incident, Thailand.com here, I can't see any photos of Chinese tourists using the currency, and the Thai media has not intervened.
Second, even if Chinese tourists use the currency, it cannot be determined that the Chinese tourists deliberately used other countries' currencies to deceive 711 convenience store clerks because of the unilateral revelations. Because, the Bangladeshi taka and 20 baht are indeed somewhat similar in tone.
Therefore, it can be said that the tourist accidentally took the wrong one without knowing it (which is a mistake), but there is no evidence to support that the Chinese tourist deliberately used the difference in the value of other countries' currencies to buy a 20 baht (about 4 yuan) lighter.
However, the Thai netizen has been unforgiving, and wrote a sentence in Chinese:
"It's like you're smart."
Obviously, in the eyes of ordinary people, this incident is a small mistake of two Chinese tourists who took the wrong currency and didn't know why they couldn't pay, which was amplified by this blogger as "smart and not smart", and also used words such as "mother".
So why is it intentional to take the wrong currency?
Then let's take a look at the traffic of these pictures in Thailand - a sentence "Smart Chinese tourists were still scolded by me, and then ran away", this tone and context directly regarded tourists who were not familiar with life as bad people.
Please, it's just a lighter, and in terms of interests and motives, it can't keep up with logic at all.
However, why should Chinese tourists be bullied in this way? What about the Thai media? Silent and silent? Really send a mass message on a large scale, and it doesn't matter if it's true or false?
What's even more disappointing is that the things that have been turned over have been clearly stated that "the person who eats the overlord meal has not been confirmed to be a Chinese tourist", but on the contrary, those things have been turned over and over again.
Just a lighter, 20 baht, 4 yuan, Chinese tourists don't understand, they paid the wrong money, and they were directly scolded to death by tens of thousands of people.....
There are also some Thai netizens who lack morality, scolding even more in one sentence, and even if they scold, they also distort the facts, obviously it is Bengali currency, how can it be ripped into RMB again? !
And then some "dead memories" ran from 2014 to 2024, still disgusted by those few clichés. Then, began to persuade Chinese to learn English. But it's such a one-sided summary comment, there are actually 110,000 in the lower right corner....
In their eyes, the individual has been magnified into a whole.
And then I don't know what's going on, scolding and scolding, and the Indians are also lying down - compare the Indians. And also know that every country has good people and bad people to compare.
And then... The Americans were also pulled in. The purpose, or to force the comparison.
So far, Bu Zhou still hasn't figured out why a "fire machine" is so powerful, pulling from top to bottom, from left to right, and from the source of the news, Thailand's "fake news strike center" has not been mentioned at all.
Even if there is no video or picture to confirm the news, they did not say it. Just let these ambiguous things ferment wildly in the comment area.
Not only Chinese tourists, but almost all tourists from many countries around the world have been arrested and scolded by them. It is said that who has a sense of superiority, but in fact, they themselves are the best spokespersons for "Thai superiority".
Bu Zhou, I finally understood that a lighter can make a "Thai drama".
At the beginning of the picture, everything depends on the fabrication.
That Thai blogger, listen up, if it's true, please put it all on the table and say it well.
Let's see if this is an intentional 20 baht, or a green Bangladeshi currency that was accidentally taken by mistake. But at present, there is not even the first scene of the 711 incident, and tourists from all over the world are judged out of nothing.
This is not a true conscience at all, nor is it some "Thai who can speak Chinese to help their compatriots see righteousness and courage."
Purely, it's just to see that everyone is unhappy, and find an opportunity to have a meal in the local comment area.
is serious and fair-minded, allowing Thai netizens to realize the "dream troll cool article".
But such suspicions, as well as one-sided cases and chaotic comparisons between countries, are meaningless.
Even those of you who are irrational have said that reason: there are good people and bad people in every country.
In that case, what are you comparing to?!
Compare good people to bad people, and compare bad things to good things?
You can't remember who is better than you, but worse than whom, your fingers are typing, glowing.
Venting emotions that only represent your own.
I hope Thailand will take care of these messy "high-traffic local reviews".
Don't let those ethereal things magnify and become barbs for friendship.
Don't let those who come out of their mouths come forward and become so easy to be believed.
Don't let those seemingly inconsequential self-media wantonly destroy the image of innocent tourists.
Whether it is an individual or a Thai media, they must be responsible for their own words.
Don't think that you can spread rumors at will under the slogan of the people, and no one can escape those causes and effects.
Chinese tourists, the biggest contributor to Thailand's tourism industry in 2024, those chains of positive income generation, naturally also benefit everyone on the Thai Internet.
Shall you take a stone of your own making, and smash your own feet and curse that I did it?
How can it be that you take my thick stack of money and fan me while spending it?
Those netizens in Thailand who can understand Chinese and spray Chinese indiscriminately, it's time to think twice!
