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".

LOL or "bum-bum" which always tickled me!

There are NO Chinese holidays until February. After this week's holiday they will move en-masse as always, back to work and school primarily. Nothing to worry about for those like me who cringe at this article.

Has anyone played "China spotting" in Bangkok...... great fun..... I could go on but better not.

LOL.... I do sympathise with that but to clarify (IMO) the naturally sweet smelling Moroccan et al you find often on the continent, as compared with that overpowering SKUNK in and around London... repulsive. It was never like that back in the day. In fairness skunk I have not caught a whiff of, in Thailand.

Is the Thai bank option as secure as the Singapore one?

Yes but how (to kill themselves) in this instance? An overdose. Otherwise they'd be a bloody mess involving a gun.. a razor... a hose pipe connected to the exhaust (!!!!)...

But wouldn't you go home... he's got a caring family after all...

Other than an overdose though? The other listed methods leave an airtight explanation. Wouldn't they appear in the news report surely and why not if not?

Did you say "in those days"..................... ????

Most people won't know that in the T&Cs of flight bookings not so long ago (summer 2022) restricted travellers (native) leaving THAT country to 3 categories: business; education; work! Six months ago "tourists" had to apply for a special pass to go to HK or Macao. Imagine! Poor f***ers.

One wonders thinking about it... the move by the wealthy Chinese to (desperately) get their money out, with Thai real estate being a key target, and the extreme longterm aims of Chinese to effectively renounce their citizenship in order to keep their money safe from the CCP (through bearing children with Thai citizenship), perhaps there will be more on the forthcoming agenda than tourism and trade deals? The above was recently publicised on YouTube under China buying up real estate in Thailand BTW.
