PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING:
If you have been following my previous videos then you will know
that I have a huge amount of love for the people of Bangladesh.
Like I mentioned in the video, this is the first negative encounter
that I have had in Bangladesh and I am sure that it is a one off instance.
I know that there are good and bad people in every country but like
I said in the video, I feel very strongly to fight against any form of
discrimination and I will not stand for it. I have to share and promote
acceptance of every kind of person, no matter religion, gender, race,
age, sexual preference or anything else. This is one of the main reasons
for this UA-cam channel. Thank you for your time and understanding.
See you tomorrow! 💗🇧🇩✌😀
Sorry on behalf of all Bangladeshis. Hope this didn't ruin your Impression of this beautiful country. Love watching all your vlogs. If you're in Dhaka soon please meet up if you can
Thank you for coming to Bangladesh and I apologize that you had to face this kind of situation.
Indigo Traveller sorry for this. thanks for visiting
Sorry ur accent so difficult do one question ...where robbin went any hotel or where he took rest
Indigo Traveller stereotype humans,
There can be a another reason they have done this maybe they would charge you more but seeing you with Bengali they can't do that.
That would be a valid reason ❤
let me give u third option why they did this. They dont hate their own people and neither they thought you're a gay couple. Reason is when u entered they could charge u more than the room's original price but the moment they realised that u have a localite with you and he would negotiate for you bringing the price that they would charge to a foreigner to a level of what a local guy would pay, that idea kinda dropped a bomb on them.
But any profit they could have made is good profit...
Some times Regular profit doesn't work for them 🙂
Exactly what i thought first time round.. to charge you a lot of money.
Second.. there is a policy like in many muslim country.. non married couples. So they will give you 2 rooms or 1 room with 2 beds..
Even then. Sorry you had to face that.
I absolutely agree with this comment. I also witnessed a behavior like this a few days back when i went for a trip to cox's bazar and this foreigner guy was trying to book a rickshaw to go to his hotel and the rickshaw puller was asking for ridiculous fare.so when i went up to the guy for negotiation he completely rejected to take him anywhere so we had to find another rickshaw for that poor person. Actually its just because of some narrow minded people that our country has such bad rep.
Cox's bazar is one of the very few places in Bangladesh where hotel people and rickshaw/cng drivers try to rip off foreigners. They think that they can take advantage because you don't know the language.
hey I'm Bengali,
really felt bad that you had to face something unpleasant like this...
I'm not exactly sure about the reason why those hotel people did that but i want to let you know that me being a Bengali, knowing the people of Bengali, I'm 100% sure that the reason to turn you off wasn't that they were thinking you guys are Gay couple...
they weren't thinking that you guys are gay... it must have been something else, really
possibly, they were disappointed, they thought they had a big fish in the net... they never have fixed prices, you can always bargain to reduce the price, even if that's a buck...with you being a lone travelling, they were sure to charge you high ( really really high, in fact they would charge you in USD). Fortunately you had robin with you, they couldn't do as they wanted to...
The FreakOfNature This is actually what he had faced. Tourists are like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for these hotel keepers. They never have a fixed price as they always fluctuate their prices based on the appearance of the customers entering. Robin being there just meant that they wouldn't be able to charge them as much as they wanted to which would've been very very high. Hence they didn't serve him necause of Robin being there. Bangladesh has its best sides and it has sides like these as well unfortunately but it's my country nonetheless so i love it to the fullest of extent. To the indigo traveler , I'm sorry you had to face this and I hope you had a great stay in Bangladesh. Hope you return oneday 😊
TRUE, as i stated before and inline with MIGHTY invincible_Joe
@Indian Weeb Desu En eso estoy de acuerdo. Y también son machista.
I live in New York City, I had a similar experience in Faridabad, India. I booked myself in a hotel, when I got there, they refused to rent me a room, saying their hotel did not meet international standards, the pictures of the rooms were fine to me, I felt the Homophobia, in the air, “the receptionist who refused to rent me the room was obviously gay”, I felt disgusted and went to another hotel, it is awful to be discriminated like this overseas.
@Indian Weeb Desu you have something to say about the last comment? 😂
I am so sorry cause you face
problem in Bangladesh .i am sorry
It's ok :)
It's not your fault. In fact, nobody knows whose fault it is. Nothing to be so apologetic about.
But I promise they did not think u r gay. This was for money.
yeah.you are right.i also think so
Hey Ayesha, r u living in Bangladesh, if you do please let me know, i am in desperate need for advice, contact me asap on my email, leilahouimli@hotmail.com
nice of u Ayesha
me myself i'm a foreigner living in bangladesh
i love bangladesh
But they turned him away and got no money at all? I think it's because they were of a certain religion that is intolerant towards gays.
@@strangedean Nope not a religious issue. It’s definitely about money.
No homophobia.
They would have charged you a lot .
When they saw you brought roben, they knew they can't rip you off .
I agree 100% with you, absolutely right
কি হয়েছিলো
I think he was trying to scam you and the Bangladeshi would know its a scam and it wouldn’t work
NoodleTV yes thats exactly what i thought
Otherwise Bangladeshis don't even know lgbt exists, apart from hijras
The Bengali viewers all seem to agree this was all about money. It just seems strange to us that they would treat their own people that way. It goes to show it doesn't matter where you go in the world, there's always prejudice (class, color etc). That's why your job is so important Nick. The world needs to know there are good and bad people everywhere. Keep sharing the LOVE ❤
they are not treating ppl differently for racists reason, they dont think locals are low lives either, they are just disappointed because they cant take more money from the foreigner now, which is a really disgusting habit too, and I understand why westerners are getting confused about it and thinking its related to racism or homophobia. Homophobia is illegal here just like india china and many asian coutries, but I can assure you, it wasnt about that, it was simply about money, they want to discourage foreigners to come with locals, they want them to come alone so they can charge more.
But it wouldnt have happened if he had gone to a good hotel.
The poor and the rich are divided by prejudice and the same problem is mostly in any country. People will greater authorities are doing injustice in every part of the world. This is not only about Bangladesh. It was an example of how situation would disfavour you sometimes.
Glassy sky I guess it was just bad time for u!! Although we have different culture but we are too liberal about accepting other thoughts!! Anyway sorry for what happened to u!! Hope and pray that if u visit next tym to our country everything favours the way u want!!
Glassy sky
>calls Bengalis assholes
>is the one being racist
hypocrisy much?
@@fatemafarha9717 আসহলে কি হয়েছিলো বলবেন
I had this exact same experience in Pakistan. Never learnt why I was denied access when I had phoned to confirm the booking ahead of time. Still had a great trip and eventually found somewhere to stay. I figure if they don’t want our money, their loss.
I'm sorry if you are facing problem in Bangladesh.😭😭😭
It's ok, most of our time has been epic!
Indigo Traveller hi from Bangladesh
They didnt accept u in the hotel becuase they wanted to make profit of you. My uncle in BD said Bangladeshi people will always try to make profit of people thats not from bangladesh.I went bangladesh and came back in september it was fun.
Interesting to see a tourist in my father's country. I'm half Bangali and half white American. Cool. I had no idea there were such beaches in Bangladesh. My father's native area is more rural farm area. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching, cool to hear about your Dad's heritage 🍻
It has nothing to do with race or sexuality. Some hotels in cox's bazar may try to earn more money from the foreigners by charging higher than the regular price. Since you were with a Bangladeshi guy they realised they can't fool you that. Once you're booked in a hotel no one bothers what you do in the room. You can buy anyone with money here! LoL
thats a FACT "You can buy anyone with money"
Yup, my thoughts exactly.
Right
They probably thought him as a local tout or broker. Gay would be the last thing in any hotel's mind especially in Bangladesh. Most Cox's Bazar hotels are pretty liberal.
Hey, Nick...just want to stay how good your videos are, so interesting, and eye opening in all aspects. You are very courageous even to venture into the places you have, and as I will definitely never venture into those parts of the world that you have so bravely taken the time to visit, your videos give a very good idea of what I've chosen not to experience personally. Hats off to you for continuing this channel. Stay safe, watch for crime, and keep them coming. I'm an avid follower now. And by the way, I spent 23 years in NZ living in Auckland and Wellington, so your accent is very familiar to me. I now live happily in the prairies of Canada. We are avid travellers to most of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Alaska and the Caribbean areas, taking cruises mostly. With the COVID, of course, things have gone on hold for about 2 years. I'm 74 now and once again, want to thank you for all the good work you are doing to enlighten us on how some of world exists. My wife and I say every day how blessed we are that we live where we do. It's so interesting, though, that despite the difficulties you have encountered, people there are so friendly and seem to be coping somehow. Once again, Nick, stay safe, keep those great videos coming, as it is the only way I'll ever appreciate how there is so much suffering in our world today. I'm afraid the population is getting out of control in the areas you are visiting. Hopefully, humanity will sort it all out one day. Cheers!!!!
Thank u for visiting our country. We need visitors like u. U exploring our country like u r one of us. We appreciate it. Bangladesh is over a populated country but people are very nice. I’m sorry to hear that some people are giving you negative comments. This haters have no life.
It's a sad reality even in Sri Lanka where i'm from, some Hotels and resorts have signs saying foreigners only or no locals allowed. it's pure discrimination and they getaway with it
Sorry to hear that, it is disgusting.
Mark Prashanth I've never seen that in Srilanka. Do you remember the name of the place?
I don't remember the names since i have not been back to Sri Lanka since 2012. But you can see those signs most Touristy Beach resorts
i am glad in fact you made this video on this topic.
Well, it's because of money.
you don't know the hotel rate only robin knows as he is Bangladeshi.
They could charge you more if you were alone. We Bangladeshi burgain at first before taking hotel.
Great vlog as always! The beach was so beautiful! And really sorry for what happened at the hotels
Thanks as always for your support!
Dude you are just awesome..
Thanks for coming in our Bangladesh :)
Thanks for having me!
yeah Thanks. But Dome Assholes Make Our Country shit
:)
I'm feeling Hopeless about More develop of It :(
Feeling Ashamed
Love the way you are representing our country. thanks. And very sorry for your bitter experience..
So cute girl
One more thing I forgot to mention. I think the hotel owners are worried seeing a Bangladeshi fellow with you as they deem he (Robin) will ask for the percentage of his share from the rental you would pay. This is very common and happed lot of times specially if the guide looks little poor or paid guide. The hotels may be just did not want to pay any share to Robin.
Indigo Traveller read this comment ^
Robin seems a good guy
Shahriar Alam, yes I think the same but the local hotel seems to believe Robin will take money as a percentage form them. I am just thinking may be the hotel where Nick finally stayed may be via an agent as well i.e. not really Robin’s friend. But again, may be I’ve been bit negative on the issue that we never faced even with foreigners.
Your friend spoiled it for them to cheat YOU! That happened to me in Mexico a few times...but my sister in law caught them cheating me..and started screaming at them in spanish..and of course everyone stopped to see what was going on..they got embarrassed and gave me my $$ back...good thing she was with me
These cheating dirt bags are fucking everywhere.
vunderground1 we live in a world where we r so much obsessed with issues that are so complex that we forget about the simple ones. Trump was a simple issue when he first decided to run for president. Everyone thought that a candidate like him couldn't possibly win in this sane planet of ours........then he did.
Important to raise both good and bad aspects of any situation in life. Keep up the good work!
Enjoying your Bangladesh vlogs 🙌
The Holistic Trainer ❤️
Thanks mate!
Like ur video
Respect from Bangladesh
new sub !! 🌸:-) from Malaysian
Hey, I've been following your vlogs for the last couple of days...... and you are so positive about my country it makes me feel so good..... thank you for being in Bangladesh...... waiting for your next vids :) good luck!
Man those hotel guys were A holes. I'm sure not every hotel is like that. But sorry you had to experience that. Love your vlogs. You are a good person. Best wishes from Dhaka.
Hello Indigo, I love your Vlogs. Thanks for visiting and complimenting a developing country. Your compliments were more than what our country actually deserved. For that I truly thank you. I am a developed person living in a developing country. Therefore I understand your feeling and sentiment. Sorry for everything you had to go through.
Nice Vlog 👍 love 💝 from India
Thank you :)
Absolutely nothing wrong with being honest and sharing your experiences regardless positive or negative and I totally agree with you HOMOPHOBIA, RACISM, DISCRIMINATION is WRONG !!!
if you are accompanied by an interpreter then that interpreter whom you trust saves you from being conned into paying more than what you should.That's the real reason.
Poor Robin :( That's horrible - I'm sorry you both had to experience that :(
It is ok, it is a one off case, the rest of our time has been great :)
Hey are you leaving? You should visit sylhet and shajek valley..it's a must and my request brother 😢
Next time! Next year!
Indigo Traveller I'll be counting on that 💓
I m from Bangladeshi 🇧🇩👈
i Love you ur vedio💟
That's so cool that you have all of the corporate media approved opinions about racism and homophobia. It's important to look at everything with rose-covered glasses and overlook all the real problems in the world.
As a Bangladeshi i can guess some reasons like
Terrorism issue or smuggling issue or they wanted to get more money from you.feeling sorry for that.hope you enjoy forward days
I don't know about that but cheers :)
actually I think the issue here was the hotel management are opportunity seeker . They know that if there is a Bangladesi with you , that means they can't bill you more than regular fare. There are people like this in everywhere . We apologize on behalf of them .
Thank you Nick for fighting for acceptance for everybody!
I see no reason for you having to apologize for the experiences that you had at 3 hotels. It was the experience you had and possibly the same experience that under the circumstances others might have as well.
I saw all of your Bangladeshi videos and it wasn't until I saw this last one that I decided to subscribe to your channel. Beautiful message. Down with discrimination.
Thank you so much brother for visiting! Bangladesh is not a rich country but I know you love it...
Sorry brother you faced this....
you should have walked in with robin at the same time to see how they react
I am sorry for what You went through.
I am pretty sure there are nicer people in that country.
I AGREE WITH YOU NICK...WE ALL ARE SAME. WE NEED TO BE MORE OPEN MINDED.
Love your vids Nick.Im a recent subscriber. You remind me of myself in younger days. Not sure why you thought this was homophobia .I agree that it was more likely a missed chance to rip you off. But surely you do realise that in Muslim countries homosexuality is illegal so unfavourable treatment on that basis would be understandable .
indigo traveller thanks for visit our country.we are sorry for problems... please don't mind and came here again.....
It hart's to see Bangladesh like that...I've been living there for 9 years now I came to the USA for 5 years
Are you in Bangladesh now???
Samiha Masum yes, he is... in cox's bazaar now
Samiha Masum give me your number
i also listen to such relaxing calm music
Hi so, it has nothing to do with race or sex, if you are alone they can charge you more for rooms and when you are with local they have to give discounts and even staying 6 day and free 1day room with discounts
Fast of all I apologies for the situations u have faced. But I find some circumstances for that u faced such problems.
1. Why u choose NON-AC bus instead of AC bus?? In our country we have the most technological & more luxury busses which r drives by the most experience drivers. u will not find any harassment with their driving. Chittagong-Cox's bazar fare will be max. $8-$9. when u back I recommend u to travel with AC bus. 😊😊
2.In our country we r now facing some security problem & also have those Rohingya Refugee problems. Moreover there r some restrictions in cox's bazar for foreigners because every year more than 20000-30000 foreigners visit cox's bazar. Every hotels r not capable of giving security to the foreigners. I think u & ur frnds were finding some low category hotels that's why they refused. But their r some 4 & 5 star hotels with low cost in cox's bazar. They don't ever harass with u at all.
Again I feel sorry for those situation.
Thanks for visiting Bangladesh!!!
Mohibul Alam the thing is.. the BEST services available in a country usually give a very distorted view of the place. He is there to explore the real Bangladesh. :)
Amisha Khatri this is not real Bangladesh. The problems we r facing for political issues r making these type of problems. He is not the only tourist in cox's bazar. I mentioned the approximate amount of tourist who visit in cox's every year but they didn't face any these type of problems.
I think, bro should visit a village to explore real Bangladesh instead of these garbage-full cities , its all about our villages... that's real Bangladesh
BD I guess
This happened to me (and other gay couples) in the Scottish highlands. My partner and I got rejected from staying in about four consecutive b&b's. On one occasion, there was a vacancy displayed on the sign outside, so I waited in the car while my partner went in to book it. The owner looked through the back window at me first, then told my partner there were no vacancies. This happens a lot.
I think both of the reasons that you assumed are wrong. Profit can be a raeson. If it is not profit, then this might be a security issue. If Robin were a bad guy and had a bad intention, then anything happens bad to you the hotel authority had to take the responsibity. That's why I think they didn't want to take the risk. Thanks by the way for representing the real Bangladesh. I'm seeing a tourist living the local people's life for the 1st time. Really good to see that. If you have enough time, please don't miss Rangamati, Khaghrachari, Bandarban and Sylhet. These places are blessed with natural beauties. Keep doing the good work 😊
New sub!
Thanks!
I am really sorry you had this exp. But, mostly people are very welcoming as you may have experienced that already. Love your videos. Great work.
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 🇧🇩
I really appreciate that you are going to visit rohingya refugees. But, As far as I know rohingya refugees are staying at No mans Land and It is illegal to visit there without proper Documents or Legal notice. If you really wanna go I would suggest you to be careful.
Rohingya refugees are staying inside Bangladesh border. They are even spreading all over this little country.
I am Sorry for you facing problem in Bangladesh😥😥. You will come again I hope you'll enjoy our place.❤
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
the longest beach in the world is in the south of Brazil (Cassino beach with 200km). this one in Bangladesh is 120km
Hello Nick, it’s Neil (@napt1965 from IG). I love your travel journeys. Very sentimental, truthful, honest, reflective and........to the point. Thanks for all that you do to open our eyes to what really goes on behind the scenes, the things that people don’t want us to see for fear of embarrassment. Take it easy and hope to see some more of your stuff soon. Neil
You should have visit Bandorban. Natural beauty of Bangladesh is mostly in Bandarban, Chittagong. Btw, nice to hear such pleasant words from you about Bangladesh.
Its so sad that happens to you. I feel you we are in the 21st century and people still have those kinds of thought. I had the same experience in my own country but was solved right away, the security stops me and asked me where I was going to, I look back and said I'm staying here there any problem..he looks at me and said no. ok. I keep walking into the Hotel..but I had a great time. I hope in your next video also stay safe, I don't know if follow another fellow traveler youtuber he did got denied to enter in Bangladesh because they thought he was a journalist be alert and careful. Hi from USA.
Plz not all off them are bad in Bangladesh and in this they just want to charge him more which is not possible bcoz he got a Bangladeshi with him
nice...
💗❤
please come to sirajganj
ki korte jaibo
allahr wasthe akta koilen.
jamuna nodi dekhte jabe? hehe...
lol
Dekhar onk kichui aseee
Meu Deus,que bagunça essa Cidade!!!😂😂😂
The reason the hotel guys said no is probably because they thought they were going to charge you higher, but seeing your friend they realised that they can't do that.
It's just my thought, I could be wrong.
I agree the point you raised. They should serve anyone regardless of race, class etc. But, I think they just wanted to take advantage from you as you are a foreigner...they could just profit more from you which is of course unfair... and when they found that you have Robin (the local guy) with you, it just disappointed them and didn't want to rent out the rooms to you guys ... I really wish you could enjoy the tour in Bangladesh with all means of convenience ... best wishes for you
sorry man...what's about you say is true.... those thing is not allowed in Bangladesh... most of our people didn't know much about homosexuals...... they have not proper knowledge about....may I discriminate it..but if I say that its ok then make fun with me..thanks...man you did great job..
Thank you for your understanding and perspective :)
Maybe they don’t rent rooms to two dudes unless is family or relatives.
Every country had different laws and beliefs and you have to respect that!
Thank u for your true observation. Bangladesh is a great country and it is developing everyday and hopefully one day this kind of discrimination will not happen there. Lots of Love.
Following your blogs from New York... love your work man. You made me miss my country...
The far left political ideals in the West have not, yet, been forced on the Bangladeshis so you are the one discriminating against them, expecting them to have same ideals as you. If you are going to travel around the world you need to accept people the way they are and not want or expect them to be just like you.
So, sorry to say, but you sound a bit ridiculous complaining about their culture in their country. If you don't like it stay home.
pduffy4 it was not not about homosexuality or racism anything. the hotel manager wanted to charge extra from foreigners. but couldn't do that in front of a local so they rejected.
about homosexuality, this term is a bit outlandish for us. just like people in the west would react to man married to two or three wives which is normal in Arab countries.
Well said Mainul Akash. The actual problem was the hotel managers were trying to get some extra money out of him by charging him more than usual. There's no race or homophobic issue here to be honest.
Refusing to serve someone because of what you assume are their personal characteristics is discrimination. Being upset that you were discriminated against is not. The first case is treating someone poorly due to something that's none of your business. The second case is not appreciating being treated poorly which obviously is not discrimination. Or at least I assumed it would be obvious...
HUH?! lost yr marbles? whatever it be, shudnt get hussled and chop off arm and a leg to get in tho?! right?!,,,
You are right these shitty White's think they can say whatever they want
It's too bad people of the world can't see the beauty in people. I'm white and 63 years old. My father was in the United States Air Force and my family had the best times traveling around the world. When growing up on military bases the first 18 years of my life, the most racist people I had to deal with, were American blacks. The indigenous people in the countries we lived in were very good to us. We lived in Japan for 5 years, on to Texas for 4 years, Germany was next for 4 years and the final destination was California. Don't let a few people with prejudices ruin your travels. You will not change the ignorance of some people. I love your videos .
I am from london Uk and I am travelling to Bangladesh soon my own home country. I intend to stay in Dhaka Bangladesh. I am so sorry that you had to go through such disgusting behaviour. I’m truly embarrassed! X
U are totally right proud u didn't support this act. Big shout out to all Bangaladish people. U all seem so.kind
You make me want to visit Bangladesh. We are a gay couple who travel a bit and have yet to encounter (that we know of) any obvious discrimination. Most recently Ukraine and Albania, which were both lovely but the Albanian Riviera is currently my favorite place on earth. Subscribed and enjoy your life bro!
There is an organisation named COAST near the sea beach, not a hotel, it's the office and the guesthouse of the NGO. They arr going to receive you warmly and ensure your safely. Trust me man, there are a lot of good people. They definitely outnumber the bad and the selfish ones. Bangladesh is known for her hospitality, right?
Sorry for the problems in our country
Hope you have enjoyed
Firstly we are really sorry for the problems you faced here in our country :(
really sorry
i don't know what were they thinking but i wish they had served our guest(you) properly
Everywhere there are some bad people and good people.
i just don't have any words to explain how bad i am feeling after hearing the incident
Really sorry.
If you are still in Bangladesh,we hope you are enjoying the rest of your days here more happily and having fun.
Please do visit Dhaka again,you might get a chance to see the Bangladesh Premier League(Cricket) going on,and you wil also find many more tourists here.
Have a safe journey!
Really sorry to hear that. You should have complained or take help from Tourist Police. Hope you have a good, rest of your journey in Bangladesh.
You're a great person man, very respectable I love your Videos Keep up the Great Work Man!
We are really sorry for that kind of attitude with you. We hope this won't be happening with you again. We are a very friendly and hospitable country, so it's really sad and we are also against discrimination. Your next visit won't be that bad. I will personally share this incident with the government officials that the hotel management might be conscious about this. Thank you.
don't worry about it. just because you expressed negative feelings that few Bangladeshi people made you feel won't change our hospitality and love for you. #Bangladesh #Love
Thank you my friend!
Am bangladeshi. Am sorry for how you been treated there
This is the 1st time I am hearing things like this about cox bazaar hotels.. we never face anything like this.. I am sorry on behalf of my country.. But overall I hope u had a good time here.. 🖖
You are such a good guy. Keep exploring Bangladesh
I feel really sorry that you had to face this kind of incidents. Actually, they were thinking that they have got a customer whom they can bluff and take a lot of money from him. They might charge double even triple money than the actual bill. But please don't get disheartened cause this type of things happen all over the world, I think. Hoping that your upcoming trips to Bangladesh will be hassle free.
thanks for visiting BANGLADESH
Hotel owners wanted to make money by you that was the main reason behind and it happens in south asia quite frequently. have a wonderful journey .
I am really enjoying your vlogs. So interesting and great camera work giving us super views. I also admire your patience and politeness to all.
+Gillian greer Thank you Gillian❤❤❤
INDIGO TRAVELLER : NO NICK, YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG! ABSOLUTELY WRONG!
Whatever their reason was for denying you a room, it definitely wasn't because of any assumption on their part that you two were gay couple. And it was clear from your own description that they did not refuse you because you are a white guy. So, it wasn't racism either. It doesn't work that way here. I am more than 1000% sure that your assumption of their assumption is a perfect example of an utter cross-cultural misunderstanding. There must have been some other reason and you definitely missed the clues. I am Bangladeshi, in fact I went to school in that part of the country and lived there for 3 years (probably before you were even born) - and also have been travelling inside this country for last 35 years. Alone and with friends or family, etc. In fact my very first visit to Cox's Bazar was with a male friend of mine and we stayed in the same room. It was 1984. I've been there many times since. Such things never happened to me in 35 years, nobody even hinted anything like this, nor did I hear of anything similar happening to others. When two travelers/tourists/visitors of same sex share the same room - people here don't automatically assume that they are gay. Perhaps it happens in your or in some western countries, but not here. Bottom line is, there must have been some other reason for their behavior which you did not understand. But one thing's for sure, there can be many more reason than the two you assume and list, moreover none of the two you list seem even plausible here! You uttered a lot of harsh words about Bangladesh, based on your evidently totally uninformed, baseless, clueless, unreasonable, automatic knee-jerk assumptions. In fact, this baseless automatic knee-jerk assumption of yours, dare I say it, reeks of racism, ethnocentrism and cultural chauvinism itself! A "typical white guy behavior"? (I am quoting you here actually, replacing only the keyword. Remember the Goa video? ) Wouldn't you agree? Cheers! :))
You are very kind and understanding.I personally, although I love travel would find this country really depressing in every way..
Its alright...don't feel bad...cZzz...everyone here isn't eqall to understand sach as normal things...😊 bt all of us is not like the same...we love our guest...sooo enjoy and best of luck...😉
I stayed in Bangladesh almost 6 months.....and we clearly observed that people of Bangladeshare getting more shinked mentally day by day ...... If they will go on Same way ..one day this will be similar to Pakistan or Afghanistan...
Its already a shithole like india. What do you expect
@LIONEL Messi I’m talking about Randia, a country that borders Bangladesh and holds a significant amount of bengalis, ofcourse Bangladesh would be like randia.
You can't tell a person what they should or shouldn't do with their own business. They are entitled to refuse you service for any reason whatsoever.
I am absolutely positive that they threw you out because when your local friend walked in they realized they wouldn't be able to rip you off. No racism, no homophobia. Cox's Bazar is pretty chill.
When they saw you they thought they can rip you off but when then saw my Bangladeshi brother they felt that he would try to make a hard bargain as he is Bangladeshi. There are places in Bangladesh where there are people who try to rip off foreigners because they don’t haggle for price but obviously Bangladeshis do. Also my Bangladeshi brother don’t look rich that could also be a factor. It’s not racism, discrimination is everywhere and it was created by people who want to get advantage over people. But discrimination is no less evil and heinous than racism!
Bro we are so sorry I know you faced lots of problem, sorry for that you know in my country there has about 19 billion people live here, we love foreigners as well as we love you bro welcome to my country, never thought negative about bangladesh? You know you can see that we foster amount of Rohingya refugees, Bangladeshi people are so kind and helpful.
Hi,
I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you in cox-bazar.
What i think the problem was that about the hotel was that they thought you are a foreigner and they can charge you more money for your stay as its a tourist spot but when you brought your bangladeshi friend with you they won't be able to do that coz he will catch it and say something.
Again I'm sorry on behalf of the bangladeshi people.
