I used to be a regular poster a few years ago but it got to a point where every thread was hijacked by the Trump supporters vs Biden and of course Hilary. It became toxic. Every thread turned into the yanks and there politics so I stepped back. Some cannot or simply not accept facts then it becomes toxic with the usual suspects throwing in personal insults because they wont accept the truth or facts.

And fancies himself as a Pope.

Hang on from now on mow I will consult the old Dictionary from now on for perfect English Speakers my God.

mmm what's a dude we don't use that word in the UK is it a norm Yank term ?

Well maybe keeps its because they lack a sense of Humour its easier posting an emojis.

Nah Yagoda I think id rather have a nail sticking in my flippies on Beach Rd. In the old burger advert " Id rather have a king then a Clown ".

Less than 24 hours ago the Tourism manager posted Cambodia was tempting tourists away from Thailand with most Chinese staying away. Then surprise Surprise within 24 hours TAT have found a market in Japan. Don't worry we foresee billions coming into the kingdom a TAT spokesman said.

It has nothing to do about Trump JakeC some Posters feel they need to throw Trump into any thread that's why most new threads get wrecked in the end.

So 2 members have posted thumbs down Emoji's on my thread would they like to to post there reason for the thumbs down ?

Agree with most comments. Food prep areas not clean, utensils not clean, Raw chicken left then washed in tap water, Cross Contamination in fridges, and a lack of general food Hygiene standards. Ignore any of these in a hot climate and your asking for trouble.

As a Brit I find most American posters have a lack of sense of humour. We Brits can laugh about anything and we don't generally take things personal or attack fellow members or throw out insults because some poster has posted on threads they don't like or feel they are being attacked.

Wait for TAT's come back . Lets not kid ourselves Thai Tourism don't care as long as Planes keep flying in that's all they see. One leaves another one arrives. Comments on any platforms will be ignored. There attitude remains the same. One thing is certain, we the tourist have had enough of all the scams from Visa problems to our safety and are turning away from Thailand. Not so long ago questions were asked why are numbers declining, you would of thought this would be listened to and prompted to look into it. What did the Government do ? they introduced an online digital arrival card that everyone needs to complete prior to arrival. Another nail being driven in to force potential tourists away in my opinion.

Get a proper job then instead of lying on your back.

Why dont the Authorities release the country of origin these suspects are from instead of tarring all the foreghners with the same brush. Just as another member posted. It doesnt mean because you speak English your from the UK or British.

Well its finally sinking in. Thailand killed the Golden goose before covid with there greed and dont care attitude towards treating tourists. All you got was the chinese will be here dont worry. Well there not coming now are they ? Te Thai tourism bosses bent over backwards offering free visas to the Chinese , draft dodging Russians and the indians we westerners were treated as collateral damage. What you doing to repair the damage ? Moving the 60 day visa back to 30 days for starters. Then the hotel bosses will increase prices to try and recover loss from Chinese numbers. They just dont listen or learn so they will believe all will be well. Next high season.

Most of it is the beach venders just lobbing old discarded bags of Rubbish at the end of the day. Patong beach pedestrian only lol your more likely to be killed by a grab drliverer or a vendor stocking up his stall.

What is there to do issan ? Is there a beach ? What does Issan offer ?

Remember the statemet from TAT saying " we will be looking at bringing in high end tourists " well that backfired big style the only numbers that came were Russian and Indian they ignored there bread n butter western tourists. They gave out free visas to them bent over backwards to the chinese now its all crime ridden resorts turning away potential tourists. You the thai tourism board made your bed now lie in it.

Oh dear what we going to do the chinese are staying away? Can"t be anything we have done ? There must be a reason they only know. Tomorrow they the chinese will be blamed for the downturn as the Thai Govt will not accept or listen to critisizm there right everyone is wrong.

Agree with most nothing to do with Tariffs or quakes we have spoken with our feet all the exusses dont wash anymore its down to Scams lack of security ie beating tourists in the resorts and Greed and Rip offs Wev'e had enough so we are going elsewhere, no doubt TAT will come out with the usual BS tomorrow.

Several years ago a RTP chief was brought to Phuket to clean up there act. He lasted a month before he was removed from Phuket and transfered.

lol Trannies with Fannies As noted by Gene Hunt.

Its all the thai's to blame. Ignore the weterners treat them like dirt they stay away or go elsewhere. Phuket has been taken over by Russians patts the same they turned a blind eye and took the cash without thinking of the future,relying on chinks and indians to bale out your sinking life raft you only have yourselves to blame GREED.

European kids dont <deleted> in the streets

So if this Bouncer Errr Security staff worked in an Establishment with a uniforn provided Plod must know his name quickly even if he dis a runner
