They want your money but not foreigners here longer term. It has been this way since the 90's, when I first moved here. Seen so many, probably 95% or higher, of foreigners that planned to stay, work or do business here, leave and go home or elsewhere. Thailand isn't for everybody. With the current volumes of foreigners staying in Thailand longer term, I fully expect it to get more inconvenient, more difficult and more frustrating for the majority. Thais are experts at the passive-aggressive approach.

The article presents a rosy picture of the Thai economy, but that is far from the case. The Thai corporate sector has a debt burden of 129.4% of GDP, and it can no longer rely on private funding, which means a crash is coming. Good article in the BP today about it, but most will ignore it and sleepwalk into oblivion as usual.

I lived 25 years in Bangkok, and it is a lot worse for the above with the possible exception of bikies. Lived the last 7 years in Patts on the darkside and never had any bother.

Another one out of the gene pool. Fortunate not to take any innocent lives with him this time.

I long since stopped lusting after white women as they don't wash their private parts properly after going pee-pee.

The male seems to be a black or dark-skinned man.

Yeh two Thai guys on a motorbike.

A myth. I've worked in many countries around the World and Thailand is the only country where I have actually seen someone getting stabbed and that was over 20 years ago.

I knew a Scottish woman that was killed in Bangkok on Sukhumvit Soi 22 after a bag snatch incident that happened in the early 2000's.

Very different to the late 90's and early 00's, as there weren't of them in Thailand. Most of them went to Bali. The Aussie you met back then used to be professionals, not the bogan chavs we get now.

China, North Korea and Iran must be laughing their c*cks off.

Thailand has fairly secure borders and does a good job of Policing them imo. They are neighbours of poorer countries and so there's always going to be major problems in this regard. Only have to look at the UK to what a disaster is happening there. I like Rangsiman, he seems to be a Thai politician that knows what he is talking about and is not afraid to bring issues like this to the fore.

Only photos of faces and fingerprints were collected, not proper facial recognition or fingerprint scans.

They can't do anything right, can they? Time to avoid responsibility and blame someone or something else. Better throw a banana skin at anyone who asks difficult questions or better yet, blame dirty foreigners. That always seems to work.

The mosques need raided and investigated, if activities like this are found, they should be shut down permanently. Remigration is increasingly becoming a mainstream idea and I continue to support it wholeheartedly. I don't want these people in my country.

My initial thoughts are should hazardous substances be transported in vehicles that are clearly in a state of disrepair and without proper hazardous goods markings? Answers on a postcard.

Beat me to it 😔

You'll not get much business in Thailand.

it is quite simple and has never changed. They want our money but don’t want us staying here permanently.

All pass without exception is the rule in Thailand. A little birdie told me the place in Songkhla has had some of its OPITO approvals removed recently for safety violations. No idea if that is true but just a heads-up for those thinking about going there. I did my FOET refresher last year at Falcon in Malaysia, was about half the price of Thailand.

Bangkok was incredible in the late 90's and early 00's. Phnom Penh was the best kept secret in South East Asia in the early 00's. The Wall Bar in Silom or Vinnie the Visa were the go to for your visas back in the day, no need to leave the country. There was another guy on Sukhumvit 23 that used to do the dodgy Thai Visas, wonder what happened to him? 😉

🤣🤣🤣

Sub-80 IQ, poor education, immaturity and yaba are a dangerous combination.

When in Rome…

Another buffoon.
