“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.

Every little traffic bump with some argument afterwards is big news now? Going to be a lot of stories to print.

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.

“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.

Passengers having their legs chopped off by the travelators and fliers smuggling live animals onto planes probably doesn't help.

 

Those things and the multi-billion dollars of corruption that goes hand-in-hand with state-run airports in Thailand. 

That travelator incident is all that needs to be recalled to put Suvarnabhumi bottom of any list of airports.

She have a visa that could be revoked ?

Don’t be silly, of course not. 
 

the point being made is that the two of them were involved in the altercation with the doctor. So far action has only been taken against the foreigner.

The genie is out of this particular bottle, or box as Trump would say. Any regulation now is just a money earner for the bib 

Given the number of foreigners entering and exiting Thailand, a percentage of whom are bound to be up to no good, this sounds like a slow day at the office for immigration, not something to shout about.

i’d expect double this everyday if they were doing their job right 

So, when Thai people complain about why they couldn’t go to their hotel room, they really mean go to their hotel room AND close the curtains. Bolt the door in case a passerby opens it?

I mean how does a passing motorbike film a single spot for over a minute? He clearly stopped and made a beeline for the couple.

Here we go, first of  an anticipated bunch of anti Korean stories in the thai press. Get those patriotic juices flowing.

 Bearing in mind the current trend toward visa free entry to LOS in pursuit of ever more “tourists”, I doubt this will ever progress beyond indignant righteousness expressed online.

frankly, I personally can’t be bothered to rise to the bait of most of what is expressed in the article.

“On Friday, National Police Chief General Torsak Sukwimol moved to try to limit reputational damage to the Royal Thai Police. “

he has a pretty big job on his hands. I’ve never heard anyone praise police honesty, thai or farang.

Can’t see that the thai government will make much of this. They want S Koreans to visit Thailand as tourists so won’t want to start a tit for tat war ( no pun intended)

in any case, what does the thai government care if a few Thais get treated badly trying to enter SKorea? There’s no money to be made in objecting and if the Koreans did a deep search for Thais working illegally in SKorea, they wouldn’t come up empty
