A few years ago a  Shipyard in Glasgow built three state-of-the-art the Art Frigates for the Brunais navy on completion he refused to pay for them. They had to tie them up until a buyer bought them at a knockdown price.

Lets see how the Thai PM reacts when 2 gays holidaying in Brunei get locked up in jail due to their stance of homosexuality. God forbid any ladyboys turn up in Brunei.

Racist headline says it all " Brit half Thai Apprehended " Instead of Westerner Apprehended.

Khun Thaksin has an agenda to jail the army chiefs who stole his premiership and send  his sister into exile. He hasn't forgotten who stabbed him in the back. By the way when the older members who mention how Thailand was in the good days remember Taxi was in charge then.

It's pretty clear at this point.  To them high quality = Asian.  They, the people in charge, don't like to see white faces tainting the scenery.  Been listening to this talk from the people in charge for decades.  Now that Taksin is back brace yourself for more racism and nationalism.  He is the original farang hater. 

He hates Farangs that much he bought a top premier league team in England.

So no answer from Kwilco then about why he thinks Brits get longer visas just a waffle about gun crime.

If the Brits have a very close relationship with Thai Immigration, then where is the "reciprocal agreement" between Thailand and Britain/UK regarding annual increments to pensions? 🙂 

How do you work that one out Kwilco that the Brits get longer visas? we get a 30 day on entry Russians get 90 days soon down to 60 still double what Brits get.So explain how we get longer visas.

I spoke with some Thais on the Darkside in Pattaya yesterday evening about the influx of Russians. Some interesting takeaways:

1. Entire families are coming on tourist visas here to stay permanently

2. They work illegally and don't care as they need money to achieve No.1

3. Russians will likely use other Russian owned businesses thus no benefit to local community

4. They are on the run from the war

 

This is not my opinion, this was being discussed by Thais. 

If you told a gullible Thai there will be a Total Eclipse tomorrow at about 10 O'clock they would believe it as they got told.

Reminds me of that top chat-up line from an Aussie " Brace yourself, Sheila " 

Surprised no one from the Thai Govt has stepped forward blaming the upsurge of tourist during Songkran,

Guys Guys have you not sussed Goat yet? your falling into his trap every time you you Diss him That is what he wants he gets off on it knowing your answering him just let him spew his rubbish or he will get the thread locked.

You can say that as many times as you like but it will never be true. Western tourism to Thailand has risen over the last decade.

Well kinyara the brits are not coming like they used to be so there down in numbers hence the thread topic we are discussing now.

My god I'm English but I don't understand what kwilco is on about way way over my head.

THere is a course the problem with British imperialist based racism. THis applies to US and EU as well but the British as in "brits" and "gammons" are the worst.

Their perception of Thailand is based on an innate feeling of superiority over Thai people or ALL S.East Asians.

Sweeping generalisations: - Expressions like "they". "thais" "third world" "they hate us" "Bad drivers" "Somchai" all come from a basic distain for Thai people their customs and their culture. The response is that many Thai people politely ignore Brit expats and avoid doing any form of business with them. THen the exoats suffer from confirmation bias and so the circle continues.

Is that why elite in BKK call issan people Monkeys and uneducated kwilco. Why do you think most see Thais smiling at us are hiding behind that smile and its false.

The perception in the USA and Europe is that the TAT favours Russians, Indians and Chinese, and that Westerners are no longer welcome in Thailand.

Lets move forward and think what TAT Or Tourism chiefs will offer to bring British tourist back in incentives. I know this wont happen but if you sat in a meeting with a high up TAT spokesperson what would you say to him or her.

The Italian bloke last week at Bondi?

Terrible wasnt he.

At least he wast there the next day trying to kill a priest. Real tough these Aussies.

One of the issues raised was the lack of English Teachers. why is this. Is it because the Thai kids want to say Good Morning instead of saying G/day mate or Howdy Partner.  

At least we dont walk into a mall and kill defeceless woman Goat but then its easyier to kill females then men. Real brave Cobber.
