Tourist Clicks

Noticed 2 distinct tourist clicks in Thailand again this trip.

There is the sex tourist/sex pat click, they sort of hang out in the bar areas chasing women/men or ladyboys. They do not really go to other parts of Thailand or experience much Thai culture (some sex tourists/sex pats will visit the homes of their bargirl girlfriends). Sex pats generally hang around with other sex pats bitching about how bad Thai people are and complaining about other problems in Thailand (yet they never leave!). They always have an eye open for their next shor
time sex partner.

The second click is the backpacker click. They hang out in all the cheap guest house areas of Thailand, wear the same sort of loose fitting environmentally friendly clothing (got to get me one of those cloth hippy bags!). The backpacker click person also sees little of Thai culture (probably a bit more than the sex pat click) , they tend to hang out with other backpackers, living as cheap as possible (in other words very very cheap). They are usually more worried about money than in really enjoying themselves.

I guess I am speaking in broad terms here, in generalities but it seems in most cases I see the generalities fit.
