Laos 🇱🇦 not for me as a Brit! Btw I pay double what the Chinese pay! In fairness it was always around the $39-40 for me.

Indeed, it's all about "inclusivity" in the UK today.... with pundits on the Woke side speaking of 'litigation'.... LITIGATION for God's sakes, over a kid who wants to identify as trans. This was aired recently following new guidance for teachers from the Government.

What century are you living in pray ??

Well the Chinese don't like it... esp the types who school their kids here.

Straight out of a 70s Hong Kong flick 🎬

Meanwhile I understand that a tourist visa overstay requires the usual B500 + a mandatory border run, FOR ONE DAY + over. If you haven't heard about this one check with someone. It's no joke.

... apparently on here there's at least one but thankfully that cheerful chap is outnumbered 🤝

"just like in the west" Off-the-cuff remark I'd say.

... so not 'the west' then? Which was the initial argument. Being consistent is more convincing than belittling btw.

So glad you told this on the forum. I will never go. Sounds dreadful 🙏

Yes... just back in time for the next "mobilisation"..... poor bugger

Respect to those Thais esp the main video 🦾

You're a bot aren't you??? Spot 'em a mile off...

I was just saying that Putin tends to use the same term. Unlike Putin however, you sound like you really mean western women in 'the west'... who, like dear 'Olga' here are receiving privileged police treatment due to their looks - REALLY?

It was intended to be ironic Sad Face. I'm not curious as to the gender of a nurse as you were thinking...

The blonde appears like she's got everything going for her incl. an entitled attitude which got her into deep water. Fantastic example of cultural arrogance, using physical violence, which she thought she could get away with.

Male or female nurse.......

Good God..... you've learned that from Putin 😳

I believe she just did it for hits and publicity online as that is where these so called ' influencers ' derive their income, with their ' likes and shares and follows ' You must factor into this however the WHO. Who IS being influenced? Although conservatism exists across Thailand for example, most clean living, devout Thais shrug-off any notion of moral judgement or disapproval towards Nana. A culture however currently on a quest of ethnic purity and moral superiority (5 thousand years old....) which modern China is - not to mention of course global power, will feed on ANYTHING that perpetuates the bullsh*t they are fed from the State on a daily basis.

The availability of prostitutes in China will be mainly under the radar - where it exists - and for foreigners will come a risk of deportation or visa cancellation, unless all can be conducted under the radar. Some regions have been swept clean(er) under Xi in recent years (the capitals) and others have escaped that. People who live there speak of more liberal times as recently as 6-7 years ago... and "Wang" exemplifies that puritanism.

How on earth can the reaction of the RTP do more damage pray tell?? It's been done hasn't it by her? Apart from anything else, wouldn't you say anyone who stands among an international crowd in a foreign country, decrying publicly the moral values, an offence back home undoubtedly, is beyond arrogant!

You clearly don't understand China. The woman represents the majority there. Period. There are no "Nanas" because prostitution is illegal.

Couldn't agree more...

.... quite what the confusion is according to one person is beyond me - unless he doesn't know who Roger Waters is most likely.

With respect nobody has grasped what I believe this is about, understandably. It's not connected IMO with the police stations as an earlier poster commented. The report seems to read that the TAT Governor made the proposal in light of falling tourism (therefore her/his attempt to rectify it) and here's the key bit "...following discussion in China with tour groups" - which tells you everything about how the world outside the borders of a largely cut-off country culturally, and 'inter-connectedly', sees the free world, eg Thailand. Also how rife poorly informed online gossip floods their social media about how bad this country is.... how unsafe that country is... whether Thailand, USA, Laos, the UK.... an utterly cosseted people. The TAT Gov has clearly been cajoled into thinking of ways to extend the nanny state into the freer world, 'so that tour groups will feel safer'.... as Roger Waters put it..... "PATHetic".
