You really need to address your mentality and drag your mind out of the gutter!!! Not every woman is a woman of the night! A French Tourist! Let that sink in a while....

Didn't the Generals want to do this and started the process? The Pheu Thai are just running with the idea. Let us not pretend the Army and The police are running illegal casino's in Thailand already and hidden away in most villages are little mom and pop gambling dens hidden but under police protection! There is illegal gambling all over Thailand, let's make it legal!

Well said! So there are some sain Shock! I've found a sane person on thai visa! Lol. Well said!

The haters on here really are close to crazy. You all should sit back and digest the bile use all spout. This forum must be so full of billionaires with such business and success portfolios! So, use all support corruption and theft of trillions of tax payers money, tax payer's money being used to pay for terrorists and agitators, countries theft of manufacturing with crazy tariff structures. Trump was quite in his right to reciprocally tax them but he could easily have doubled the tax. Use do realise that he is only hit them with 50% of the tax they hit they issue against American goods? I think he should of hit them with equal tariffs especially China!

Thailand is very dangerous especially at village level. Very small village I lived in was beautiful, friendly but scratch below the surface and remove those rose coloured glasses and life was very dangerous. Young boy murdered over drugs, boy shot in the head over a girl, man found dead in the road "stabbed" (over a perceived insult), man stabbed to death over unwanted marital advice... There was another murder but can't remember the back story , just remembered the family sold their house so dad wouldn't go to prison. Just a small village over about 15 plus years.

Bitter and twisted! Time you took off your rose coloured glasses. Thai male's get off on beating up tourists and age or gender do not matter. Never one on one, they attack on mass. They do not stop when their victim is down and out, they stomp on their heads. Then there is always the child like excuses made up and the gullible idiots who believe them especially the rose coloured glasses brigade who can't face or accept how dangerous Thailand is and always has been. Wake up 75% of Thais hate you!

About time. I hope Trump hits thais rights to buy houses/own land in the USA and copies thai 51% rule for business owner as well. And I'm not an American!!! Thailand has got away with this abuse for far to long.

What is it with Thais killing their parents and the go to weapon being an Axe?

What an idiot! You do know Thailand has very tough sex laws, from age of concent being 19! Don't believe the hype. People looking for underage sex go to Cambodia or south America. Try watching "The Sound of Freedom".

They cheat Thais as well.

Are you mad? Such nonsense. Maybe your family supported Nevil Chamberlain and wanted to surrender to Hitler? Try researching The "Red Door" plan of 1944.

Strange how treasonous traitors become very anti their once sainted hero just because he decided to put his country first and show/stop the tefft of billions. But, maybe you support millions for hamster cadge fighting in the amazon jungle!!!

The 800,000baht didn't! And, it was the final straw when after 8 years at the same imigration office seeing the same woman said to me when I asked a question replied "it's only 800,000baht". We were back in the uk within 6 months. Best decision!!! However, still waiting on global warming.

That was an assault! Not once but twice. The Thai woman needs arrested and never allowed a taxi licence! "This is my country statement" is a very xenophobic statement. Not a great attitude!

It is when you have saved up for a year or more for in most cases a holiday of a lifetime only to be told no alcohol drink when you sit down for a romantic meal with your loved one!!! It should be upto the person if they want to drink or not. We are not children!!@

The noncence of never being colonised again! Just one word "Japan" and WW2!

Well my wife and I must be some of your idiots as we both ride our big bikes in Thailand. You have to be very careful as you do when riding anywhere and always expect idiots in every vehicle, always wear armour, gloves proper jacket & trousers and helmet! There are some beautiful roads with breath-taking views all over Thailand.

Let me assure you, it is not cheap to travel to Thailand from the uk! For us (family of 4, 2 adults, 16 and 12 year old) just the cost of flights is about £4000 then over £6000 spending money and we have our own house in Thailand! We go for 3 to 4 weeks.

Principles (maybe something some are missing). Lots of big "IF's", with this 300baht payment: if, it realy is an insurance then its really great value for money. If i were still living in Thailand, i would have gladly paid 300 baht each month for insurance cover. However, knowing Thailand a little (probably lived and worked there for 16 years in total), this money will make a select few even richer and never be used on tourists welbeing.

Shocking but i always winder how it took so long to leave? Who administered the beatings? Male or female employer? The naked beatings sound very perverted!

Its a shake down! You must have dared to do a border run without a thai guide/organised border run. Organised runs grease the guards palms so all runs smooth. I had it many years ago but it was the cambodian side. We were taken into a small hut, surounded by about 8 armed police, passports taken and only given back with a 2,000baht donation.... Never again.

The hatred is strong with this one!

Gold is the way to go. Its also good knowing its there in emergencies. But, keep it secure, hidden and very confidential in thailand. Always remember families have been tourtured and killed for less than 200,000baht!!!

Im sure they thought so. Many years ago i had to sort out the refusal of "Bupha" Thailand in covering a friends hospital bill. I went direct to their head office in London and almost as soon as the phone went down Thailand paid the bill. I did the same with a new pickup (2006) but this time Japan got a call. Sometimes you just can't deal with Thailand.

I hate seeing this anti israeli vile and disgusting vemon. These two lads have done nothing I would not have done as a young lad (even now). Friend hospitalised and prevented from seeing him to see if he is ok! Yes i would have pushed my way inside. Have the isreaeli people not suffered enough? They have been very, very restrained in their response, we in the west and America would have flattened the country on day one! Remember 9/11 and the response?
