So, this is all visitors, not just international tourists. 

I wondered how Kan got in there. 

They must work out the numbers by hotel bookings.

Yeah, Kanchanaburi surprised me, must be local tourists,  as there really isn't much there to attract international tourists, in large numbers.

Reads like the boat was dead in the water, and everyone decided to peek at something on the same side of the boat, capsizing it ... after being warned not to.   Oh well ...

 

R I P

Why guess, you weren't there. As for "being warned," perhaps we need to hear from passengers, though with Thailands oppressive  anti defamation laws, they may be too scared to speak up.

Dear me. Aye, the UN is going to send peacekeepers to Thailand cos a YouTuber was questioned for being an idiot. 

 

Very good. 

 

 

Well actually, it could be bundled in with many other breaches of freedom of speech.

Next time when you see someone smoking in a bar, go to the local police and complain.

Maybe that will help you to understand the difference between principles and reality. 

So, you're saying, if approached then the UN would do nothing.. so what good is the UN

According to Article 19 of the UN, you can complain if you don't like it. I think you still have to comply with it or be ready to suffer the consequences. It's the law in Thailand. Live by it or go home.

So, you're saying Article 19 is useless

Check article 19 of the UN

It seems in Thailand he has that right.

And Thailand has the right to extend his visa or not...

If expell, or even warned, he has grounds to raise concerns in the UN, Thailand has an obligation, being a signatory.

Everyone is not out to get you. Relax. Your tin foil hat is about to fall off.

Where did I say "everyone?"

Hany on, isn't Thailand a member of the UN.

Article 19

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Anyone know how to contact the relevant UN office

Yeah. I'm sure it was a scam, that's why he went to the police 🙄 because you always involve the police when your swindle fails. That makes sense 😂 Beer swizzling foreign tourist with a propensity for violence must be given the benefit of the doubt 😂 then he declines to show up at the police station when summoned, so he was surely the victim of a scam 😂 

SMH, are you new to Thailand, tuk tuk mafia know that they have "friendly " cops, in their pocket.

Not at all ! So far there have been  only accusations against Surachate.  It will take real proof for myself and many others to believe otherwise. He has certainly knowledge and proof of a lot of things concerning the RTP and government. I’m quite sure that this proof is in safe hands probably outside Thailand.  One thing he is not, and that’s stupid . 

I deliberately said Thaivisa  for a reason.

Why do they announce these plans, is it to give them a chance to leave the country, or find a patsy.

Dob in a farang  would they have done the same if it were a thai. 

Do we know why it was padlocked.

Did it gave any indication it was put on by the cops, and ticket issued. All questions a reasonable journalist would ask.

Should have done the thai thing, blame it on GPS and faulty brakes.

Not from Red Bull family... could be in trouble.

Did he have an escort?

Or late at night... or did someone else take the ride, not him

From the article, seems more of an infrastructure problem... the economy of Pattaya and Phuket are based on tourism. Perhaps the government needs to promote other places  eg Hua Hin, Chumphon,  Surat Thani, Krabi, even places away from the ciast  give tourist an incentive.

I just do not read any do these articles  so sick of their BS, I go straight to comments  just for a laugh.

555, will this be interpreted the same way medical use of marijuana was.
