The quality tourist finally are arriving? What is wrong with these people? Do they really believe they can get away with this?

The “beach bully” incident, as it came to be known, was captured on a phone video, leading to a public outcry and calls for Fehr’s deportation. Fehr has always maintained that he slipped on the steps and his leg came up in the air, which gave the appearance on the video that he was delivering a kick. Mr Niphit said the Court of Appeal Region 8 delivered its ruling on Friday, sentencing Fehr to one month in prison, without suspension, under Section 391 of the Criminal Code, which covers assault that does not cause bodily harm. His actions constituted a serious offence, according to the court. The Provincial Court was scheduled to read out the appeal court’s ruling on Wednesday, but Fehr failed to appear, prompting the court to sentence him in absentia. Authorities believe he has fled the country. The Fehr incident also raised concerns over encroachment on public land. Investigators found that the steps leading down to the beach were not part of the villa property and had been built illegally. They were later demolished. Local residents subsequently called for authorities to do more to return public access to beaches on the resort island.

It is unbelievable that you are still acting like being stung by a bee on these articles about Covid. Apparently you need some help? Get over it an live your life. As if what you think about it is important?

Unless you contract long Covid from it then you are a unlucky person! I have seen then from this variant and it is no fun for these people.

Send the man back to Israël so he can start his business in Gaza with terrainbikes. What are people thinking? Always about the money.

I wonder where they find these stupid tourist? They should send him home straight away. Bizar!

I sense more and more hatred against "tourists" in Thailand. They just want the money but not everything that comes with it. And i can understand that given how some of the tourists behave, but these of just 0,01% of the visitors. You can't blame the rest for that.

The air sucks even if there were no tourists. Its because of all the burning of (rice) fields and household garbage, cooking on fire and exhaust fumes. This has nothing todo with tourism.

Why are they expanding their airports if they can't handle the current volumes of tourists? They don't like the current numbers of tourists and how they behave. How do you think that will evolve if more of these will visit the country?

How stupid can one be? I thought only the USA had such person.... 😉

If a tourist says "Hello" to a Thai is he/she insulted? Then why when somebody says "Ni Hao"?

It depends on the intonation how they pronounce "Farang" and their mimics while doing so. It can be taken very offensive and discriminating. When somebody says Ni Hao... he/she probably does not know the propper way to say hello in Thai. I would not care about such if that happened to me if i was a Thai person. There are worse things to make a fuzz about. It looks like somebody has too much time and nothing todo. One just could have replied "We say Sawasdee khrap!". But they go from 0 - 100 in a split second and are insulted about "Ni Hao"? What a joke! Its not even worth this discussion.

is there a immigration office everywhere?

Well many tourist bought already their tickets for upcoming summer vacation based on the current visa of 60 days. If they bought tickets extending the 30 days they would get in to trouble. Reducing the visa to 30 days should at least have a 1 year overlap. Because that is the period one can buy a ticket in advance. So deciding to bring it back on f.e. 1 may this year should start and apply on 30 april 2026. These JoJo policies are not good for Thailand this way. They should stop the borderruns and people overstaying and illegal working, not the tourist that are coming with good intentions.

How about Tourist that already had bought their tickets spending more than 30 days? They are f.... !

w.t.f? How dare they in such a pure, sincere, god fearing and clean country. Yesterday i saw a new Thai movie called สมมติ (Supposed) They were banging around in a car in the middle of Bangkok. Is there a difference between foreigners doing this and Thai people?

It is the same as throwing them infront of a running train.

Everyone has a cross below his belly, no Christian, Buddhist, Moslim or any religion is making a problem of that. If we would not have it the world would be a better place and less stupid things to worry about, right?

It is getting worse and worse in Thailand. Is this normal behaviour now?

In the Netherlands the solution is simple. Go to the municipal office and ask for a "Extract from the Personal Records Database" . On that document the Social security number is given. They already have it they just don't want to provide it. I came across this by accident when the school required that document. I was amazed that the Social Security number was on it. But once i had it i could resolve the circular problem is was in.

Exactly. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Seen this before in the Netherlands where one could not get a health insurance without a social security number and the social security number was not provided when one did not have a permit to stay in the country and the permit to stay was not provided if one did not have a health insurance. A endless loop that could not be fixed unless one of the parties violated the rules.

They did according to the ranking. But it can be worse, checkout the Corruption Index

We will just read more here about misbehaving drunk Farangs and how Thailand hates that. It is a neverending circle.

That is why almost every article here is about the bad things Farangs/Foreigners do abroad in Thailand.
