Ever been to a place where rules only applied to Asians? It is explicitly written that photos and videos are not allowed, yet we saw 2 Swiss/European women openly taking videos nonstop. Naturally, we assumed it was being tolerated since others were clearly doing it. The moment we tried to take a photo, a staff member blew a whistle and told us off publicly. After this, the 2 women still continued filming without any whistle, intervention, or being asked to stop.
At that point, it felt less like rule enforcement and more like selective enforcement. Do not be misled by the many photos and videos you see online, it raises the question of how those reviews exist in the first place and for whom the rules actually apply.
Whether intentional or not, the experience came across as racially biased, and that is deeply upsetting. Although the therme itself is beautiful, the overall experience left a negative impression.
