Comments on this page indicate that the foreigners were Israelis.

Thailand is one of the few countries in the world where you can read a "tourists get beaten" story daily in the news. Go on with this and you will soon see tourists numbers plummeting further hopefully lowering the bahts strength and also the real estate prices. 

Anyway if the foreigners were Israelis than it's okay... 

The wear a helmet law clearly applies only to foreigners. Just look around while driving motorbike and you will notice...

Young Thai men hate falung ATMs who take their Thai GF back to their homeland to marry.

Not the brothers of the Thai gf 😂

Yet another change that makes Thailand more of a hassle for regular tourists.  Are they trying to chase tourist traffic to other countries?  This is after complaining about tourist numbers being down.  I was planning on getting a retirement visa this summer, but maybe I should just look for a different country to retire to.  I'm sure I would be welcome in The Philippines.

You surely will be. I found the locals to be much friendlier there but the price/quality of accommodation and food sucks + bad transportation and infrastructure... I love vacationing there but I wouldn't want to live there long time. 

Lock down Bangkok! There are too many of them here in Pattaya causing huge traffic problems as their driving skills are usually very bad 😉

"Thailand, once a beacon for budget-conscious travellers worldwide, is increasingly facing criticism from international tourists over escalating costs and shifting experiences. Historically renowned for its picturesque beaches, lively cities, and affordability, the kingdom is now being reevaluated by tourists disenchanted with what it currently offers."

Shifting Experiences - Thailand is like a manic-depressive who stopped taking their Lithium prescription.  You never know if you're going to wake up to Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. 

Typical Daily Headline:
Foreigner tourists shock Thais.............
Thais outraged over farang...............
(Enter nationality here) jailed for touching (Enter sea creature here that are usually eaten by Thais and that can be found in a wet market)
(Enter nationality here) disrespects sacred Thai (Enter name of object here)
Unruly British Tourists (whatever they did goes here) unless its "Scouse" then we all know who it is and what they did.
(Enter nationality here) arrested for (Enter heinous crime here which is only a heinous crime for non-Thais)
Drunk farang beat half to death by (Enter number of Thais - must be over 5 to be believable)
Thai Police are looking for (Enter skin color here) tourist who (Enter something that Thais do daily and nobody cares)
Drunk (Enter nationality here) is beaten, stabbed, and hospitalized for failure to pay bill.  [Q: Why don't the owners call the police?  A: It's more fun to beat, stab, and hospitalize farang instead of calling the police.  It must be - it happens pretty much every day.  Tourist bashing! Why leave the fun to the police?]
Thai authorities crack down on tourists because (pull something out of your ***-cheeks)


Now?  More tourists to SE Asia are waking up to...
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!
So now Thailand cares!  😟
Don't forget your Lithium Thailand.  

Very spot on! I think the news reasoning and also the changed attitude of the Thais towards us because of the daily stupid news has a lot to do why tourists decide not to visit Thailand anymore...

Methamphetamine.

 

 

Yeah and you know what? That is also the reason why so many Thai men turn gay... 

Nice gesture and good news. Thais on social overreacting as usual. What's the problem. Farang not wearing shirt or touching the monk? Well if you are not happy just organize a Thai culture crash course on arrival before getting the stamp 😂

Don't need to believe everything especially the parasites of society that try to get some $$$ by accusing man of rape or sexual harassment...

Well, what to say... That's the reason why there are so many of this massages all around Pattaya.

Is it only the dregs of society that live in/visit that godforsaken place?

No but it happens that they have the most foreign news outlets of all Thailand in several languages and publish many petty crimes not newsworthy at all such as this one.

So all this crazy foreigners like this one, the swiss one in Phuket, the russian women in Phangan and many others lately all escaped from Pattaya to cause trouble in other provinces around Thailand?

Yes location. I am in Hua hin and people are much friendlier then Pattaya.  Even Bangkok is better then Pattaya.

I always find people friendly in Pattaya... Your ST girl in Pattaya charged you too much last time that you make this statement?

Change is scary!

 

They will soon charge a fee to read the news as they did with their news channel on YouTube... 

You can't visit somebody in Thai jail unless it is a relative of yours and even than it's hard to get permission.

While driving pass by Esan villages I saw the kids there were already playing Songkran yesterday the 7th!!!!

The German Somphet sounds more Thai to me than 80 % of the "Thais" on the island (that are in fact Burmese)...

Hello moderator! Is this news serious or is it an April's fools day news?

I will not be surprised if the taxi apps are going to ask for advance payment or deposit payment in the near future before starting the pick up seeing how common and easy it is for people to cancel their rides.
