\"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

Dreadlocks. Henna tattoos. Banana pancakes. They spend three days eating street food and drinking fruit shakes with each other, tattered copy of Lonely Planet in hand, then declare that they’ve “done” Bangkok. If they didn’t look so ridiculous, I’d be petitioning for their extinction. As it is, I’m happy to regard them with amusement from afar.



A smell concious backpacker sadly there are way too few of them

Fake dreadlocks are a must ( warning : those may be real )

Banana pancakes : backpackers bread and butter, supposed to have heavy debilitating effects when eaten too often.

Typical backpacker tourist in india, the sight of people heavily into religion ( cool or obscure ones only ) help the backpacker understand life and brag about it ( you can't understand you haven't travel enough )

When there is no reggae bar backpackers have been known for playing some irritating music themselves.

So how do you get rid of backpackers? By getting rid of their food, hiding places and alcohol-supply, thatÂ’s how.

1. Backpackers live on rubbish: takeaways, frozen pizzas, bread rolls, chips, chocolate and generic soft drinks.

Remove as many of these items from supermarket shelves as possible.

Encourage convenience stores to close.

2. Backpackers like warm, damp dwellings, so cleaning your local hostel to a standard acceptable to normal humans will reduce their available habitat. The resulting price rise will act as an extra deterrent. Also, be vigilant in tearing their ads for five-to-a-room accommodation off lampposts — what they can’t find, they can’t inhabit.

3. Backpackers have a natural aversion to sunlight, so wherever you are, open the curtains.

Also worth noting is backpackers’ natural aversion to fire.

4. Boric acid is lethal to cockroaches and humans. I’m not recommending murder, that’s just what it says on the packaging.

5. Backpackers can survive for days without food, but they must have alcohol every few hours. Half-price schooners, pubs showing EastEnders
and anywhere that lets girls in for free is a backpacker magnet. Call Naomi Robson and get them closed down.

6. Slash the tyres of any Ford Falcon station wagon, Econovan or VW Kombi and chances are, you’ll be hindering the spread of vermin.

I’ve practised all these suggestions on a daily basis, and to my delight, my backpacker problem has subsided. The best part is, I’ve also noticed fewer junkies, wanna-be rock stars and ordinary bogans, too.

funny but you probably should have posted this in the travel forum since it will quickly degrade into a series of retarded jokes about prostitutes and accusations of pedophilia.

Backpackers and shortstackers hand in hand in dead ladyboy fermented juice is one of the dreams i have every night.
One day it'll come true. One day it will i tell myself.
But every morning i wake up disapointed.

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

A banana, nutella, and twix pancake is the [censored] when you're stoned, but yeah I don't really like hippie backpackers either.

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

Nice, I was going to start an official "rant about backpackers" thread in the travel forum. KKF had a good rant in the backpacker thread there.

what's the difference between backpackers, travelers, and tourists? people view them all very differently just wondering your take.

i don't really understand the frustration with backpackers. they like banana pancakes and reggae music. they often have long dreadlocks. i can think of worse things

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

for one, i'd much prefer a backpacker that disgustingly says no when approached by a hooker than a "resident" (as if you weren't ever new in Thailand) who [censored] bargirls every weekend

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

I hate [censored] backpackers with an extra [censored] backpack on the front. If your backpack too small to hold all your stuff, buy a bigger backpack dumbass. If you want a small backpack for day trips, why not just put it in your big backpack until you take a daytrip. Because it would make too much [censored] sense, that's why.

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

As much as I hate t-shirts with place names on middle-aged tourists, they're a million times worse on a backpacker. Every time I see some backpacker with a Cambodia t-shirt, I'm filled with an uncontrolable desire to punch them in the dick. Why? Because their shirt is saying essentially "hey man, I've been to Cambodia, that's a place that's like way out there, not that many people go to Cambodia. Have you ever been to a place as far-out as Cambodia? I know how to [censored] live life man."

The backpacker wears these tourist shirts as an implicit brag and this sort of unwarranted arrogance is only another argument for their annihilation. I say we bring back the Khmer Rouge, but instead of killing fellow Cambodians, rain destruction down on these godless backpackers, the eternal enemy of mankind.

Reminds me that a few days ago, while we were waiting for a braindead muay thai guy from england to show up ( with 4 girls and a midget, don't ask ) me and cookie saw a beautiful specimen:

Walking at 1am with not one but two backpacks ( leave them in your hotel room jesus.... ), 5 days without shaving, the most ridiculous "local mountain tribe artisanal hat" you'll ever see, the smell of goat cheese and a magnificient "bangkoker" t-shirt.

The time stops, everybody stop talking.

How can one dare?

Socks and sandals under a way too short fisherman pant.

never again.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm fine with backpackers who are actually, like...., backpacking. you know, Greater Tibet, Nepal, The Andes,... It's just that here backpacker = cheap ass tourist moving 150liters of useless crap from one hostel dorm to another acting like they're totally superiour to all the others tourist..Bangkok is like Backpacking noob central. Heck, met one this morning, italian guy friend of an acquaintance, the guy took 3 sweaters with him in his backpack. to go to visit the Gulf of Thailand. I swear I'm not making this stuff up! Obv he had the 120l on the back and a 60l in the front....

on the t-shirt issue, met a irish guy with a save the planet tshirt from some Peruvian ONG, the guy also had pair of home made earring....

and there's the whole "zomg you're such a slave to modern technology for traveling with a laptop" and then they go spend 3hours a day in internet cafés.....

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

Backpackers don't seem to bad to me when compared to the alternative...

White males consuming the natural resources of other countries (cough, Thailand), [censored] hookers and generally being obnoxious, partaking in illegal activities (online poker), and generally providing no genuine reason for hating backpackers other than trivial things that have no effect on themselves and sounding like a bunch of ignorant Nazis. Why don't you let the actual country natives decide who they want in their country and STFU.

and no, they don't want to kill all backpackers like you, sorry.

awe, I have a back pack on front

I bought a laptop halfway through my trip. Do you still hate me? Even if I had room in my pack I kinda like the balancing effect anyway :/

I kinda hate the stuff described in the OP, prob not as much. Question for all:

If you new their attitude was like "Hey I'm not really 'doing' this country, but just out here to party like a whitie in a diff setting"

Would you still hate them? Is it only the arrogance that gets you? If the traveler of any kind isn't too arrogant I don't get too annoyed

Arf mister smelly backpacker with brad pitt as an avatar, you are such an aggressive troll.


Backpackers’ pursuit of “cheap” travel destinations is only possible through the imbalance of living costs between Western and developing nations. Backpacking is an inherently exploitative activity that benefits from the poverty of destination countries.

Here in thailand, how many backpackers wear yellow on monday, stand still during the national anthem, dress appropriately to visit temples, learn the language and immerge themselves in the culture ( even if it's going to a thai club instead of one on the backpacker ghetto khao san road ) ? Next to none.

Ask any thai what they think of backpackers you are going to love it.

Natives don't want backpackers, just like everyone they hate arrogant monkeys living on 5$ a day.

Also thank you for mentioning nazis, really adds a cherry on top of your trolling achievement.

It kills me how these dorks living in Thailand pretending to be "ballers", hate backpackers. You know what real ballas do? They party, [censored] hot chicks in America not in a third world country where every second woman is angling for a green card. And in most of the photos posted, the Thai chicks are 6's and 7's at best.

U54 wtf are you smoking man.
troll in your own threads.

i mean to you its like ppl cannot visit 3rd world countries unless they do something productive for the country. Well IMO this is total bs, we dont have to do [censored] for anyone.

Most of the Americans who visit do alot for the foreign economies by paying way too much for all the services.

Lastly, you dont know [censored] about anyone in any of the threads you post in, yet you attack everyone. And then you say "ohh, but dont pass judgment on me!!!" GFY

Can't the same be said for pretty much any tourist here, even the ones who travel with suitcases and stay in nice hotels?

Maybe I just take some offense because I've done a lot travel as what you would consider a 'backpacker' but don't have any of this attitude you (understandably) hate, and know a lot of others who are the same way.

Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
 

I mostly agree with ur54sold in this thread.

Ya it's really funny when girl backpackers have these HUGE backpacks filled with clothes and they can't even get them on their backs without nearly falling over 3 or 4 times. Ya it's funny when backpackers talk about their 'trekking' experience in Chiang Mai and how cool it was to ride an elephant.

But hell, they're just having fun! Living life to the fullest as they see fit as ur54sold said. It's quite ridiculous to call backpacking inherently exploitative while at the same time considering paying Thai women for sex acceptable. When I think of exploitation, I think cheap labor and I think paying someone for their body because you can pay them more than they can earn otherwise. I find the implication that Thais hate backpackers but not sex tourists doubtful and offensive.
