Re: \"The Ofdabeat hates backpackers special\"
[ QUOTE ]
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.

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.
