It's young men fresh out military service I think. They may have been at war in Gaza last month and then when they do their time they come to Thailand to relax and have fun and that's when the problems start. If these were middle class or even older Israeli people this wouldn't be happening I'm pretty sure.

Maybe this is old news or I forgot but those 4 Israelis that broke into the emergency room in Pai are being deported now. The comments on this video confirm other people seeing the same signs in other countries over decades. It's a pattern of behavior which led to this, Thai's just become "anti-semantic" overnight and target them over some prejudice based on a conflict happening overseas.

I've been listing to death metal for years and I see Thai teenagers with band shirts on and see them for sale even from time to time. I'm certain they don't know the music which is already obscure but they just like the graphic depictions and logo art.

I can believe that. The Israelis in Pai are small enough they could afford to ban them and deal with the rest of the tourists.

Exactly. Some people are not getting this is a pattern of behavior and nothing about Jews per se.

The average Thai person in Pai doesn't have any stakes in the conflict and they didn't ban them because of what the Jews are doing in Israel. It's strictly a practical matter for them because it's gotten that intolerable.

well they are. That's not what you're getting. Go to Pai for a few months and watch what they do then maybe you'll understand. They put up with lots of crap before it got to this point but you weren't there to see it so you don't understand.

I didn't ban anyone, Thais did that. Unlike America where you dont' have the right to serve who want in your own business Thai's still have that right and so they use it.

it's not practical to get all these people deported and before that happens they need to cause problems in the first place. By simply banning them they don't need to go through the hoops, even if that was an option which I'd say it isn't.

You're not getting it. This article mislead you and it's a lie quite frankly. They're dealing with young men in their 20s probably just came out of their required military training and act like punks. Thai people k now nothing about Jews and the history in Europe or the conflict in Israel they're just reacting to a group of people who are behaving so badly on average they needed to ban them outright.

I saw No Israeli signs in Pai 20 years ago. I saw young Israeli men acting terribly too, in their own category for sure. They clearly had enough and did a full-scale ban to avoid problems and rightly so.

Clearly you haven't seen enough then. Do you really think Thai's have succumb to Nazism or something and developed an irrational hatred for Jews?

His point was anti-semitism is being conflated with being anti-israeli. If a 50 year old Jewish person from NYC comes to Pai they wouldn't make any connections with Israel. As a side note this is a great way to cause real anti-semitism. A bunch of punk kids show up acting like <deleted> and when you ban them for your business you get accused of "anti-semitism" i.e "hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people." This happens enough times to you and you can become a real anti-semite.

What is the name of this thinking disorder where you can't understand averages and per capita? I see this come up over and over again any time there are conflicts between groups of people. Do we need to post crime stats again and show per capita break downs of which groups commit which crimes at which rates? We can also show crime states per country and you will be shocked to learn that not all countries have the same rates of crime.

I saw the same signs in Pai 20 years ago!! They really are all that bad from my experience too. Young men told they're Gods chosen people since birth while suckling on the American tax payers tit.

yeah that's right if it weren't for those pesky Americans attracting the girls to Pattaya the Indians wouldn't have any reason to come and piss in the ocean and throw trash on the beach.

Building yourself is the only way to get a good house in Thailand if you ask me. I don't want at any price one their crap housing projects and that's what most of the market is. If you're married and willing to take on the risk find your own plot of land (not from a developer!) and build something where you're not ass to cheek with your neighbors like the property developers will have you doing if you follow their program.

Oh.... disregard my previous comment then. He got 1 rai and and 400sqm house (probably including the covered roof areas). Still overpriced because I find nothing about these housing projects to be luxury. Just concrete cubes with glass. Mods should fix their translation then because it very clearly says "the total area of the land was 403 square metres".

400 sqm is a 1/4 of a rai and merely double the size of the smallest plot which the cheapest housing projects use. That's not enough space to build anything luxury by any standards. Look at the pictures, it looks like he used half of the lot so I don't see how that house be any more than 100sqm. It's like 12,000 per square meter average to build so this guy got totally ripped off by the developer. These houses are just concrete cubes and if they put lots of glass in them they look fancy is all. Maybe 50% of the cost was the land (so it like 30m baht per rai there?? yeah right) but that still means he got ripped off.

Hua Hin has a whole industry of selling overpriced real estate to Farang. 5m baht for some concrete cube on a tiny piece of land squashed together next to a bunch of other chumps. I'd stay far away from the tourist ghettos and over touristed places where the developers have their fangs in deep.

Exactly all our countries take in Thai's and let them work and this how they treat us in their country. We're just getting played at this point by letting them immigrate without full reciprocity in Thailand.

A Thai person can get a take a restful nap in the dirt next to a highway during rush hour and think nothing of it. Noise does nothing to them. Never have I seen the Thai police stop even a single kid for modifying their bike and making tons of noise. If they actually cared they would enforce their own laws.

Check out his video tonight. Some freelancer doesn't like him filming and hits him in the back. He turns around and yells at her and she flashes him her tits. He's gotta get out of that city for this sanities sake.

oh I didn't know he was married before since he never mentioned it. His current wife looks miserable and he doesn't get along with the family. It's looks so terrible, I really feel for the guy. He's doing a great job chronicling how to ruin your retirement in Thailand though so there's that.

I don't know the backstory but Mark really seemed to lose his mind on him. Seems this could have been resolved before getting to this point but who knows.
