A case about Criminals killing Criminals ...

Cover up, protecting the Tourism ...

Oh Thailand, you are so moving backwards to the stoneage in Warp speed ...

Do as Panasonic - get the hell out ...

More likely " Gateway to Hell " ....

Top Thai Brands ...

Any maintenance done ever on this death-trap Somchai ... ?

Lucky they didnt pick up the unsuspecting passengers yet or another tourist-disaster could have been a reality but oh, well more money-cattle is coming next week seems to be the mantra here ...

I expect and hope the World is reading about this tragedy of a case and crucify Thailand morally ... They deserve all bad that will come to them ...

"Chinese holidaymakers spend far more than any other group of visitor -- 190 billion baht ($5.3 billion) in the first half of this year, according to Thailand’s tourism authority.

This is more than five times the spending of Malaysians and Brits, the next two largest spenders.

And the number of Chinese visitors soared by 138 percent in the first six months of this year compared with the same period in 2014, when Bangkok was paralysed by often violent protests before May’s military coup.

Thailand is counting on a surge in Chinese visitors in October for the annual National Day holiday, a week-long break in China when hundreds of millions travel domestically and abroad."

And there's people on Thai Visa who are convinced that the Chinese tourists do more harm than good in Thailand. There's people who really do feel that a reduction in the number of Chinese tourists would benefit Thailand. I really wonder about people. There were ideas about how to reduce the flood of Chinese tourists entering Thailand. Ideas like, making it more difficult for Chinese to enter Thailand.

Well, we've had the explosion at Erawan, five mainland-Chinese died, and two from Hong Kong. Was it the case that those who want to see a reduction in the number of Chinese tourists did this attack ? How many Chinese tourists die from road accidents in Thailand ? How many in explosions ? It might have been an attack that was easy to carry out, whilst generating maximum coverage in the media.

" ... according to TAT." .... nuff said ...

Sad sad - and still they have the nerve to claim Thailand is safe ... Unless people have extremely urgent important business they should stay away from Thailand - just look at the Circus they make trying to solve the bombing ...

RIP to the familymembers and all the others

But the numbers have always bounced back quickly, with the draw of cheap street food, beautiful beaches, ancient temples and friendly locals winning each time.

Honestly there is only "street food" and "temples" left and that will not attract many tourists ...

Beaches are dirty and full of garbage and as the friendly locals go ...

She forgot cheap løve.

???

If Thailand wants crowds of Chinese Tourists, well go for it. But then, live with the consequences.

They do want it. It is clear that the new market is China, Japan, Korea, India, Middle East.

'Westerners' can moan as much as they like about the state of Thailand and tourism. The authorities have turned their backs on the Western tourist, so you are wasting your time moaning and thinking that all of a sudden, there will be an about-turn and with clean beaches and polite tuk-tuk drivers.

It ain't going to happen, so go look elsewhere for your holiday or expat living.

Meanwhile, my little hotels in Phuket continue to be full every night with clean, polite and friendly Chinese and Korean families - no cancellations since the Bangkok bomb.

This is the Phuket low season, and my occupancy rate is about 98%. High season should be interesting..

Some will accuse me of gloating, but I saw where tourism was going in Phuket, and made the changes so that my businesses would survive and expand. Others sat on their bar stools and moaned....

and then you woke up ...

and you're here because...?

In fact, reading all the posts, I'm rather surprised any of you stay here as it's so tortuous. At least most of you now where the airport is.

Really ... another "If you dont like then ..." Maybe you could read my signature ...

I live here with my thaiwife but on her suggestion we are starting to look for another country to settle in - happy with the info ?

Been to Krabi once, that really suxx big time ...

So Mr. Sinchai want to give them "one last chance" ... How many of those have they got ... ?

This guy is in it just as Police is Deep in it - It will never stop until people just stay away ...

They will get a shock when they see that maybe not everybody can be bought as its the style here ...

If anyone comes foreward with info, that they should have given days ago, then they should be arrested for obstructing Justice but TiT where Justice really dosent exist ...

A Little embarassing for that newspaper but contrary to what many thais might think, a lot of people around the World have no idea and dont care where Thailand is or what it is ... Eventually I dont think these people might miss out

"The aim is to discredit the government and create a climate of fear to deter tourists," Somyot told reporters at the shrine after a a memorial for the dead held in five religions’ rites.

I guess he is so clueless that he dont realize that him and his retards in uniform have been doing that for years ... Tourists dont exactly enjoy getting a shakedown from these baboons ... Actually tourists hate Thai Police with a grudge ...

Chang should be put back into the horse ... Not even beer can they make here

They could open such a Museum every day size of Louvre in Paris ...

Sounds like these numbers are all thats on their mind ... Disgusting really

Aussie people know who to blame when these dogs kill someone home in Aus in the holy name of the phaedophile prophet ...

If the kid pointed a gun at the cops, then the cops were in the RIGHT! I'm a huge advocate of non-lethal weapons, but when a gun is pointed at you then lethal weapons are perfectly fine to use as defense...IF HE DID INDEED POINT A GUN AT THEM.

Every single cop needs to have vest cameras on them so the truth will always be known. Too many cops lie.

and too many cops die ...

Funny thing but I believe them more with numbers going up than the Utopia TAT come with or maybe Cambodians are just more trustworthy ...

Never heard of so many sleepy people driving cars as in Amazing Thailand ...

Sad sad but seems like its "normal" here in Land of Scapegoats :

1. Victim : Foreigner

2. Murderers : Thai

3. Sentence : Nothing

This is the injustice that is "normal" in this weird asian country - I hope the Germans never forget to remind this mafia infested country what Justice is cause they dont have a clue them self ...
