Here we go again..
Drunk Brits get into an argument with some locals and receive a 4-on-1 Thai-style kicking,
and that too outside a go-go...and that too in Pattaya!
99% of the security guards outside go-go's and clubs/bars in Bkk/Pattaya are itching for a reason to beat the crap,
out of a farang - don't be that reason!
It is unclear what is meant by "visa free"
Will they get a "visa-exempt" entry for a set period (e.g. 30 days) same as UK/US/AU/Canada passport holders?
Or is something else going on?
Make it Somchai monkey-proof,
so that it cannot be overridden to a manual setting during peak traffic hours.
Otherwise, just another castle in the sky.
Good idea in theory, but Tanaka-san has not "accounted" for Thai corruption.
Somchai's will invariably skim off the top and ultimately the students will suffer,
with being left to feed on sub-standard, over-priced, over-processed garbage.
