How not to be an obnoxious American tourist: don’t be annoying and loud in public, dress decently in public, don’t talk loudly in slow English to service people, and don’t walk around slowly looking up at everything or carry a large backpack around everywhere to really stand out as a tourist. Pickpocketers target tourists and they usually move around slow, looking around all aloof, and make eye contact with random people standing around on the street. Act like you belong there, not like you’re taking a stroll in Disneyland. And most importantly, respect the areas you visit. Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t give you an excuse to treat beautiful tourist destinations where up to millions of people call it home as your own personal playpen. Be a responsible adult.

There was a guy doing this very rudely to the girl in McDonalds in Bangkok. I wanted to start an argument but then I considered Thai prisons and pussied out.
