If it is such a clear and present threat, why was it legalized in the first place?

But wasn’t that the masks for foreigners only story this morning? Or is there a steady stream of them coming out today?

If you said that to a Thai, they might say that you didn't have to do all that.
You may think your largess gives you some "rights" in Thailand, but Thais will disagree.
They might even think you are some sort of idiot for not spending your money on yourself ( and of course any Thai family you may have acquired ).
I’m not sure you are painting “Thai” people in a very good light with your view of what they might say.

It’s quite hard to tell which story is the 1st Aril spoof.
I feel like I read 3 of them on AN already today

Far better to say ALL overseas arrivals regardless of nationality must wear face masks for 10 days or so
How could that conceivably be enforced though? Once out the airport there’s nothing identifying a new arrival.

Locals don’t need masks because of their greater resistance to regional ailments?
1. Covid is a regional ailment now?
2. Locals can not only resist the effects of Covid, but also can’t catch it and pass it on?
how about some scientific studies proving both these points.

1 minute ago, spidermike007 said:I visited Phuket several months ago after not having been there in about 10 years, and I was astonished at how low the quality of the tourists and expats were. A lot of Russians, a lot of Arabs, a lot of Indians, very, very few Europeans or Westerners. Any place that has about 40% or 50% Russian tourists is going to be a place that is difficult to have a good time. These are not nice people, these are not polite people, these are rough people with a Cossack background, who come from a very uncivilized nation.
As far as this guy goes anytime at anyone attacks a policeman he should be locked up. Perhaps there should be a mandatory prison sentence for this kind of ridiculous behavior.
Certainly the number of west European tourists is very low.
Apart from what I see with my own eyes when around and about, I recently flew from London with Ettihad. The London - Abu Dhabi leg was ram packed. The Abu Dhabi - Phuket leg was 10% full, if that.
So wherever those people on the Londo flight were going, it certainly wasn’t Phuket.

The usual punishment for those of Russian nationality appears to be a 500 baht fine, eg the period raged Russian lady who kicked a 7-11 employee. Contrasted with the Swiss idiot who was held up to national humiliation and deported (I believe) for kicking someone.
Likely the two Russians referenced in the article will apologize and get a small fine. But I doubt we will ever hear about it

It’s Thai Elite, Thai first class or when you request special assistance. Apart from that, I’m not aware of any other legit golf cart services.
Sounds like the process used for those categories of people is moonlighting for mere plebs…..for a fee.
Efficient use of resources I’d say. The authorities should officially take over the process and double the fee. Or, improve immigration waiting lines in general, but don’t hold your breath on that one.

Swedish guy:deported. Russian woman: 500 baht fine.
I don’t go around kicking people, but if I did, I’d pretend I am Russian. After all, they are internationally regarded as peaceful compared to those violent Swedish people. /s

Has the Russian woman had her visa revoked and been blacklisted? Need to have exactly the same treatment for her as for the Swiss doctor kicker, who got what he deserved.
I thought she was a “tourist”. In which case, no visa to revoke.

Is there a hint of racial profiling to this crackdown?
I can just imagine the uproar in a Western country if the authorities announced a crackdown on the criminal activities of any Thai people residing there. Not that there is a need for that of course, no Thai person would commit a criminal offense in a foreign country.

1 hour ago, impulse said:I can't count the posts over the years from foreigners lamenting that they have to "give" someone 51% of their company to be legal. I had many foreign vendors who had successfully operated in Thailand for years and never "gave" anyone any shares. They did have Thai investors, who were often great partners with important contacts.
There's a ton of Thai money looking for investment opportunities. If you can't find any Thais willing to invest 51%, you're either not talking to the right Thai people, or your idea probably isn't that good.
I can’t count the number of foreigners who have been shafted by Thai business partners.
I’m sure there is good and bad, but I personally would never enter a business partnership with a Thai person in Thailand. Their field, their rules, foreigner loses. Unless he/she is very lucky.

“They also conducted security inspections in the Old Town area of Phuket, distributing informational materials and promoting the Tourist Police hotline at 1155, which offers translation services 24/7.”
what has this got to do with deporting foreigners who break the law? Do they expect them to call the tourist police hotline and report themselves?

As soon as I saw Changhi down at #6 I knew the survey was fatally flawed. It’s the best for high, medium and low end traveler by a country mile.

Immigration haven’t received a report from Trang police that he is a danger to the public?
can’t they read the newspaper and follow the clues from there?

Having occasionally enjoyed the company of Swiss Nationals during decades of skiing at French resorts favoured by them. I can say, therefore, with authority that some Swiss people are very nice and that some are complete tw*ts and believe that the world should move out of their way; thus enabling them to enjoy their activities uninterrupted or intruded upon by lesser beings.🙏🏼😡🙂
Soooo, just about like all other nationalities then?

Now, that's a proactive thing and it shows someone in the Police Force is thinking ahead, congratulations.
It also confirms my suspicion that there is some sort of mechanism available that could prevent suspects freed on bail from fleeing the country. I do hope that some day this mechanism is actually deployed and can offer insight in why it works for some and not for others. Ahem, riveting stuff, this.
Don’t think they used this mechanism for the Boss case. Wonder why not?

I wouldn’t classify it as “resistance” if he exercises his right to silence, refuses to post bail or accept consular assistance. Those are his rights surely? If anything he appears to need mental health treatment.
for sure he will have the book thrown at him, rightly so.

You didn’t have a video of the incident that could go viral and aren’t Thai.
but you know that.

“Thanet suggests the government should legalise sex work. Like in certain European countries, this would bring the industry out of the shadows,”
sex work is in the shadows? Seems fairly front and center in your face to me.

Foreigner condemned for driving car on Kamala Beach in Phuket

How do they know he was a tourist? Might be here on a long term visa extension.
