Why two years anyway? this is total BS 9-10 months would be enough. This is the time I did in the French army back in 1993. And it was useful training. Conscripts were not used as slaves This country is so full of sh**t

Come on... Fake knee jerk reaction over 60,000 fake ‘conscription exemption’ certificates Are Thais never tired of always lying about everything all the time?

Not a good PR move. I think TG suing this Australian moron gives him way more importance than he deserves. It is somehone who obviously knows nothing about aviation and who probably never had the lives of hundreds of passengers on his shoulders.

Idiot

What an idiot this passenger is!

This is not how you lure "high quality" tourists. They won't come to Thailand

Somehow the violence on civilians should stop.

She was 300km from the Thai border. What was she supposed to do? Bring her own fuel from thailand in jerrycans? The real story here is how bigoted some Malaysian netizens really are. UK tourists stock up on large quantities of wine and beer when they visit France. Nobody has any issues with this. What's the problem?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT??????? Enough with the repression!

Since when has Thailand been concerned about humanitarian questions? I don't want to be vulgar, but it's BS.

What baffles me is that people still visit Phuket. As far as I'm concerned, I crossed this hole off the map a long time ago. And using physical violence against a woman is unacceptable.

The women of this country are among the most virtuous in the world. This is why such stories make the news: this is not the norm.

This is disgusting. She does not belong to him. Jesus Christ

This is good news, Way better than Chinese tourists

There is nothing wrong with that. As far as I am concerned, I am more attracted to older women (50+), regardless of race

My second paragraph starts with Thailand, not TAT.

TAT really gives the impression of being fools who only think about money. Thailand would do better NOT to prevent people from expressing what they think on social media. Even if it's a Chinese girl at Nana Plaza. Let people say what they want! Being perceived as a country that suppresses freedom of expression has a devastating effect on foreign tourists, and this carries more weight than all the pathetic promotional campaigns that TAT tries to come up with. And simplify the rules for expats and retirees. Make it easy and welcoming for long-term residents to apply for permanent residency and citizenship. Moronic bureaucrats. You should be on your knees to welcome them.

I find his comment relevant.

When even the Chinese tourists "snub" Thailand, you know you have a real problem....! This group is more like the bottom of the barrel than the high-quality tourists TAT wants to lure.

My friend says gogo bar areas in Thailand are actually quite safe. But he is not totally comfortable seeing farang women frequenting the place.

A country without a functioning law enforcement and justice system, and they want to attract wealthy tourists...

The problem is not there at all. In a perfect world, the Thai police would do their job.

What about the "tourist fee" of 150-300 baht for all foreign tourists approved by the Cabinet in Feb. 2023? ..."part of the sum will be used to provide health and accident insurance coverage for tourists during their stay in the country." Was this postponed? Or is this another money-grabbing scheme?
