Locals try to ban Brits from beaches

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28690811/magaluf-mayor-warns-boozy-brit-crackdown/ THE mayor of a Spanish holiday hotspot has warned of a "zero tolerance" crackdown on boozy Brits in the latest anti-tourism backlash. Brits have built themselves a bad reputation with locals, in particular, for their loutish behaviour down the years. -

Sadly it is an ongoing story, the Spainish were out abusing us again again over the weekend. The police should do something about them. -
Thailand’s carbon tax: Battling climate change, but at what cost?

It raises the price so decreases the demand. simple economics i cant understand why so many people can not understand it. -

I think you are missing the big picture young man. Many Brits will vote with their feet (and hard earned cash) and won’t return. Who wants their cars vandalized or to be abused when eating out or visiting the beach. Most will not stay at home but will look for alternatives where they are welcomed. And no country welcomes tourists better than the Land of Smiles. And most tourists who come to the Land of Smiles once, then return again and again often bringing new friends with them. -

Perhaps you are just a little over sensitive which is common for your generation who can’t seem to stomach any perceived criticism? Instead of talking about me, how about contributing to the actual conversation. It is not me attacking Brits, it is not me even writing this, I just shared it. i think it will be a popular thread. British expats in Spain have described the growing anger of there being too many Brits in the country after their car was vandalised with pink spray paint. The couple - who moved from Horsham, West Sussex to Marbella four years ago - say they were targeted by 'anti-British' locals. They were out for breakfast at exclusive restaurant Nobu when their Volvo XC40 - which has a British plate - was targeted by yobs who covered it in pink spray paint. They claim staff said the same thing happened to a car with a British number previously and that they suspected it was 'anti British vandalism'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13516733/UK-expats-Marbella-growing-anger-Brits-Spain-friendly-locals-car-vandalised-anti-tourism-protests-spread.html -

Probably a lot more than the endless Trump, Israel War etc topics. Thailand could really benefit from this. -

What are you on about? it is an anti Spanish agenda, or can’t you read properly? Thailand has been welcoming the English (the Thais refer to England as the “Land of the Gentlemen”) for decades. I, like many other like minded Brits, will be staying away from Spain until they apologize. -

Could not agree more. Us British sexpats that travel to Thailand and take on a local woman are a class above the Spanish plebs. -

Multiple British media outlets have reported that U.K. tourists are threatening to take their pounds elsewhere after tensions with locals in Spain. The Mirror reports that Brits have been writing to the paper announcing their intentions to travel elsewhere. One tourist wrote that they plan to head “somewhere the locals want tourists and the benefits they bring to the local economy. There is no point in going where you are not wanted, there are plenty of other places to visit in Europe and around the world. See how they manage without tourism.” https://www.fodors.com/world/europe/spain/experiences/news/british-tourists-want-to-boycott-spain-over-anti-tourism-protests Hopefully Thailand will benefit from this. -

The owners and ones employed in the tourist sector are probably not the ones abusing us. -

Safely Communicating Online with Thai Girls

A bit boring talking to women, usually they don’t have anything interesting to talk about, especially Thai women who don’t know about football and drinking beer. -

Udon Thani Karaoke Bar Raided for Human Trafficking
MalcolmB replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Often the bars/brothels that cater to the foreign patrons are often owned and managed by foreigners, the big Soi 6 Pattaya group being a good example. It is pretty low being a foreign pimp from a rich western country coming here to exploit children in poverty for financial gain.
