“The problems, if left unaddressed, would tarnish the reputation of Phuket,” she said.

What reputation? This article describes exactly what is going on since ever. 

Damn, what is going on the last few months. Record tourist deaths, record deaths on the road, every few days a crazy killing story like this here.

Welcome to Phuket Thai Lady. Maybe now you can see how tourists get ripped off in this part of your country. 

Those kids these days.. Jezzzz...

Africans and Russians,high quality tourist.walk around nana plaza,Pattaya,free trade coke,yaba black whores,scamming,thieving,fake money,right under the noses of the police.give me a police badge and I'll show you a dozen police stations and idc full to the brim in a couple of days.the place is the stinking armpit of Asia.what the police here is some good old training from the British police.the place is getting worse by the day.

Absolutely agree with you. 2 weeks ago was my first time at Nana for around 4-5 years. After everything shut down at 2 A.M (ridiculous, I still had half of my evening budget money with me) I felt like being in a different country.  Everywhere full of African hookers and drug sellers. Sorry but what a shitplace has this area become?!? Definitely my last time there.

What were they thinking to come here? Just googled Thailand and say Beaches and cute Thai Girls?

Difficult to get more Innovators in a copy paste society.

Don't these drug king pins ever learn that the higher they are the harder

they fall? haven't they seen their counterpart ending in a ditch, or at best,

in prison for life with all their wordily possessions gone?

They have the brains to build a drug empire, but too stupid to know

that it will not last....

I think the real kingins are the guys who have no porsche or ferrari parked in their garage but easily could afford all of it.

So if he would have just stayed in Laos and wouldn't have make holidays in Thailand to where he sold his drugs he would have been fine?

No one ever should wonder again how those Thai state officials got their wealth. Include of the currently untouchables.

This guy was already on Thai TV in the past. He is an honest good guy. Good luck to him.

Rich chinese love to go to Europe, where there are nice cities to explore without a scammer on every corner of the street.

 

When will we get nice smokingrooms on Swampy airport Thailand? Or do quality tourists have to go in that dirty doghouse for a smoke?

Ever been in Rome or Paris. A lot of african scammers and pickpockets everywhere. Last time I went to germany to show my thai GF my home country she has been sexually harassed by dozens of arab teens while shopping. Thank you I feel happier in Bangkok.

Lets hope that in case that the teacher really hasn't done anything wrong that "Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichida" will voluntary resign.

Just did three download tests using "Testmy.net"(a single thread tester) to Singapore with my AIS Fibre 100/10 PowerHome plan a little after lunch time.   Results were:

 

Then did one test using Speedtest.net (a multi thread tester) to Singapore.

 

 

 

I also had good download rates, even to europe. But that was not the point. Problem is unstable connection. And since IPv6 has been switched of it worked better.

I also had problem with AIS last few weeks. They activated IPv6 and put all home basic user behind a NAT and don't give you a public IP anymore. I have called them to switch off IPv6 and now it works better but I am still veyr unhappy that they only give you a public IP with the PRO package which costs around 30% more.

Arent these the guy that Thailand does not want because they spend not much money?

Justice is when the people who are responsible for this go to jail. But who you can trust in Thailand? Everyone has their price here.

Haven't had any problem with my AIS Fibre.  I'm in western Bangkok.  If you haven't tried yet you might want to use another DNS versus whatever DNS AIS uses.   I use google DNS as my primary and OpenDNS as my secondary DNS.

 

 

THX It is not a DNS error. As @wxpwzrd already stated it is a problem with IPv6 and the non public IP. I will subscribe for the PRO package because I want a public IP. These double NAT will only cause problems with peer2peer connections.

"We weren't prepared for this," Chanapan Kaewklachaiyawuth, secretary-general of Thai-Chinese Tourism Alliance Association told Reuters.

So in other words. The Thai tourism was/is oriented in the chinese zero baht tour scam?!

Yes. I remember. There was no IPv4 in the beginning but now it seems they have activated it on my router and I had a public IP. Now I got a private IP 100.*.*.* 

What a sh*t move of them. I was so happy the first month. Do you get a public IP on request? I don't want to behind another NAT which probably caused the problems.

Hi,

I changed to AIS Fibre 2 months ago. First month internet was a rocket. My speed is still good for around 4 weeks every few minutes some websites like Facebook and other doesn't work. Some websites work some other doesn't. This happens to all the devices at my home so it must be an error directly at AIS routing.

Else have problem with AIS last few weeks? I am worried that this is already the beginning of Thailands "Great Firewall" attempt. 

papaya sald and sticky rice is  trendy in New Yorks restaurants?

The problem are not the girls and the families. The problem are the old fellas who come here and marry the young Thai chicks and totally spoil them include their families. Uneducated Thais are like children. They need someone who guide them not just throw money at them and think that their brains grow bigger because they have more gold chains and the biggest house in the thai village.

Wow...this country has problems. Two youths rip down 5 tiny flags and this make national news. I wish in my home country we would "just" have problems with immigrants like this. They openly spit on the culture of their host country but have no problem to collect welfare.
