Why does it matter who is holding the camera? All it takes is cutting the footage to avoid showing her being provoked ahead of her stupid comment, and it makes it look a lot worse than what probably happened. Classic tactic: film everything but only release the parts you choose instead of the whole clip. She was singled out and attacked verbally and possibly physically too for being Israeli, that seems pretty clear.

What about the fact the the people sharing the video are Palestinian or Palestinian supporters do you not understand? This is clearly racially motivated.

Anywhere else I'd assume he's at fault. Soi 6? Not so sure. Staff there seems thirsty for violence. More likely he was disrespectful and they used the opportunity to attack.

What law has she broken? If being an ***hole was a deportable offense Thailand will lose half it's tourists, or more. I do believe her that she was targeted for being an Israeli and that the video was edited to include only her offensive comment while leaving out the abuse she endured before that - but that does not excuse that attitude which unfortunately so many tourists have: no- your money did not build Thailand, you are insignificant in the ocean of tourism and expat money flowing in. You could completely eliminate tourism from Israel and Thailand will hardly notice. It's worth mentioning that the video above was shared by Khaled Tabasha - a Palestinian, and some woman who's probably Arab. A quick look at their IG shows they constantly post anti-Israeli content. So yes this is a targeted attack based solely on her racial background- they wouldn't bat an eye if she was another nationality.

I stand corrected. I guess being in the US on 9/11 permanently locked my mind to 100ml...

Hasn't this been the limit for, I dunno... over 20 years now? Or is Thailand different?

And the article forgets to mention the #1 main factor: the abductions and other incidents that eroded the image of Thailand as a safe destination in Chinese' minds. Either way we'll take the win. Less Chinese means less competition for resources and less upwards price pressure. So happy that low season is finally here.

Huh? There is no culture where cockroaches aren't pests or legitimate to keep as pets. They are a menace, spread diseases, and have none of the properties that would make them a candidate to be a pet. What this really reflects is the sad state of Thailand tourism: any nutjob is allowed in easily. Hopefully they'll do something about it soon.

That's the ridiculous thing: you pay up all your life towards a "retirement plan" that they force you to pay into - yet when it comes time to pay you back it's next to nothing and routinely frozen and devalued. Social security programs should be CANCELLED and replaced by private retirement plans. On the other hand: expecting to thrive on government pension is delusional. As a former banker surely he's got a private retirement plan too???!

Great news. The less tourists, the better it is for those of us who live here. Less competition for everything, less upward price pressure. And low season is coming, finally! 🧡

OK boomer. Last night I started drinking at 4:30am. Not even joking. If you want to go to bed at 11pm that's up to you. Maybe I will too when I'm older (I'm in my 40's), but doubt it.

Ethanol doesn't kill that easily unless you drink several bottles. More likely methanol ("fake alcohol") in which case this is very concerning and we will see additional cases come soon. Either that or mixed with drugs. Personally I've had my drink spiked before (not in Thailand), so I will not drink anything that doesn't come out of a bottle I can see. And never leave your drink unattended either. I hold mine in my hand 95% of the time. 🤣

Name one thing he's done wrong in his first term in office? I see it all positive. I don't like him as a person, but as a President he's done nothing but good. I agree on that. Tariffs are bad. But then against look at Thailand with it's massive tariffs on alcohol and vehicles, Japan protecting it's 90 year old rice farmers, China, Canada, etc. America is not the only player and it is being taken advantage of in this game. I don't think Trump wants to raise tariff as much as he wants other countries to lower or eliminate theirs - which is good for everybody.

Regret the morning after is not rape. People don't do things they don't want to do while intoxicated - they're just free of inhibitions and do what they want to do but wouldn't while sober. 💩

Since when does kamagra comes in a bottle? Never seen one.
