I agree with you about the declining ‘quality’ of tourists, but the only tourist involved here is the guy who stopped the incident involving two Thais. It’s the declining quality of Thais I am equally concerned about.

I lived there for several years starting in the early 2000s. It was still fairly nice then compared to the S-hole it has become.

And Canadians

If you bothered to read the article you would know that you’re referring to the wrong President and the wrong presidential son.

If that’s true I just lost all respect for Snoop Dog.

Wow. You can rant and rave and toss the word salad almost as well as Trump himself. Relax, take a calm, objective look at the guy and you’ll see, like tens of millions of others have, Trump is a coward, an idiot and a loser.

I have a similar issue ; I cannot understand how 54% of any electorate see Trump as a suitable candidate for Presidential office.

A reminder to some of the seemingly ill informed posters here. Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. The majority of the military aid sent to Ukraine by other countries has been used to buy weapons and ammunition to fight Putin’s war machine. A lot of innocent people in Ukraine have died while people on this forum have nothing better to do than spread propaganda.

If he is a draft dodger, good for him.

It’s Man Farang because it is a specific type of potato primarily eaten in Europe originally. I’ve been here 36 years, have never considered the word to be necessarily derogatory and often use it myself when speaking Thai when referring to white foreigners or Westerners in general. What alternative word would you suggest? As for the guy peeing off the back of a moving Tuktuk, I can think of a few derogatory words to call him, farang not being one of them.

Yeah. Better to pee on yourself than other people.

I hope you weren’t an English major in university. Why were you “wasting time studying“ there in the first place?

It is interesting that a simple article about the TAT wanting to attract more Canadian and US long term travellers provokes so many twisted souls to post uninformed and frankly stupid messages insulting Canadians. We are not all Justin Trudeau and, given that the chances of him being Prime Minister after the next election are steadily dwindling, these hosers will have to come up with something else.

Uh .. no. It is an abbreviation of 2019 novel coronavirus. It was first identified in late 2019 in China.

Tell that to Korean Airlines please.

To be fair, it’s not always the people they vote for who get to form the government.

A great argument in favour of abortion rights.

And so is Xi Jinping. Let her go back to her own country and state her negative opinions of her own country and see how she fares.

If the gay man identifies as a woman that night?

I hesitate to respond as I’ll no doubt be accused of all sorts of sexism and worse. But here goes. Yes, the man is in the wrong. If indeed she told him no, then he he should have respected that. But a single woman living alone, inviting a man she just met for the first time in a bar to stay the night at her place is, at best, engaging in extremely foolish behaviour.

I call you crazy. Not paying soldiers, border security, law enforcement, veterans is not common sense.

I said it would be a good thing, not that I expected it to happen.

It would be great to hear an announcement from a Thai government that doesn’t require later ‘clarification’.

My new favourite movie, and I haven’t even seen it.

If it isn’t it should be. Unless there is sand under your feet, put your goddam shirt on!
