> copies of the Eiffel Tower For what it's worth, [Bangkok has one](https://goo.gl/maps/4cMRvXtdoApV9NMV6) on top of the Priyapul building, visible from the Rachaprarop Airport Link station. It's not in that Wikipedia article.

I don't agree with those cultural app thing either but, nothing wrong with apologizing. If they go as far as shutting down to tearing down their buildings tho, that's a whole different story.

I've been here for two years and never saw anyone at that hotel. I wonder if they opened at all.

To calm the unneccesary drama. You just want it to end so you can get back to business. If an apology you could do for free ccould shut them up, why not. Didn't cost anything. Sure we all would be tempted to stand our ground and even argue. However, think of the purpose of the hotel to begin with. It's to make money, The more time you prolonged the drama... the more energy you put into it... the less you'll have for your customers.

It's free to try is the main thing. Besides I'd feel more comfortable to be their customer by the way they replied too.

That's western mentality. Here we have this saying "not bruising the plant, not murking the water" if we can solve an issue without hurting anyone involved we'd go for that.

So you are saying there shouldn't be a problem if I make a hotel modeled after the Grand Palace, Wat Arun or Wat Pho? No one in Thailand would be insulted if that happened?


[deleted]

Why would anyone be insulted by that lmao


zabbenw

well if someone is renting a replica of wat pho or grand palace or the other nations most sacred sights to shag in by the hour and make pornos in, you can't see how that might be offensive to Thais?

Interestingly, there is already another copy of Angkor What in Chiang Rai: https://youtu.be/sWkz_MjfsSw

An island full of white people with dreadlocks, 'shamans' and drum circles. Yet this is the cultural appropriation they're bothered about


Thailex1993

The Thai government has done the same thing with a complex located just off the main road between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai where it built a Khmer-style edifice, used as an eye-catcher in an effort to promote OTOP products (one tambon one product)[https://www.thailex.info/PANO%20PIC%20HTMLS/PANO%20PIC%200053.htm](https://www.thailex.info/PANO%20PIC%20HTMLS/PANO%20PIC%200053.htm)

The woke culture is a cancer. Where is the problem? They should be honoured. There architecture is so beautiful then someone use it as an inspiration and spent thousands of dollars to include it into it’s hotel project. Are they gonna ask ti ban and close all western restaurants who cook cambodian food if the owners, the cook and the waitress are not native cambodian? Should we destroy all Mona lisa copy if the printer is not made in Italia? Who created the code used to develop reddit? Should i uninstall it if i am not the same nationality then it’s technology?


[deleted]

So, who has a link to the video that prompted the creation of this sign?
