Yet more negative international publicity for Thailand.

Could it be that Thailand is getting a lot of negative international press, on a wide diversity of issues? Could it be that some recent tourists who have had "negative" experiences in Thailand are posting their experiences on social media? Maybe one day Thais will wake-up to the reality that they need a government and government bureaucracy, at all geographic levels, that looks after the interests of all Thais and a good future of the nation, and not selfish personal wealth. It is the selfish politicians and bureaucrats that are killing Thailand and its reputation.

Too bad that the local government authorities do not do this on a daily/weekly basis, unlike in many coastal tourist areas in Australia.

Would be nice if we were informed of where the bash will be held? Somewhere in ASEAN, I imagine.

Yet another waste of tax-payer money which will only benefit certain individuals.

Thus, a question - how did he get into Thailand? Did he legally enter Thailand, if so why was he not detained at the point of entry?

Only foreign tourists? How many foreign expats fined? How many Thai tourists fined? How many local Thais fined? Give us some perspective please!!!

1.5 million would be better.

What the Thai people think or want is irrelevant; it is all about what the powerful business families and associated groups want, even if it means Thailand will sink.

Welcome to the modern world. I came here to get local (Thai) reliable news and information about being an expat in Thailand. At times there is useful information, especially original news and information posts from moderators, etc. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of "fake news and misinformation".

I am almost 70 years young; I have been having 6-monthly skin check-ups since I was 45. So far no major problems, just a few small BCCs.

Who is Trump NOT going to bomb in the Middle East? Israel and Saudi Arabia, maybe Egypt?

Who are what will be Trump's next target? China?

What proportion of organised criminal activity in Thailand is NOT connected to Chinese or Chinese nationals?

I was there in the 1980s - paradise; now ..... So much of Thailand's natural beauty has been destroyed in the name of progress and greed.

Thai xenophobia as its best. If, however, she was a elite Thai sports person, actress, or beauty queen - no problems.

Should Thailand send in a "special group" to silence Hun Sen? Probably will not happen due to the long-term (going back to the late 1970s) very close relationship between some senior Thai military personnel and Hun Sen.

How long before the US or the US's overseas interests are attacked? History would ask, should US tourists and expats be worried about their safety?

ICE = Trump's SS.

Sugar ... looks like most of the Russian population will be sent to prison. Is this Putin's latest plan to "recruit" soldiers for Russian's failing army?

Death penalty? What about those government officials who knowingly allow criminals and criminal gangs into the country and help them operate in Thailand? What about those government officials and "Thai" business families who knowingly allow foreign groups to undermine the Thai economy and disadvantage Thailand and the Thai people? Are they also guilty of treason and due termination?

No hope for this country. Nationalism gone mad.

Let me guess, Chinese owned and controlled?

Too many Democrats "owned" by big business - reform or die; a new political party is needed.

Thailand has been well on the way to economic collapse well before the PM-Hun Sen phone conversation.
