Posts like this is where I am with the Thai people. Like who cares what you think about a subject like this? The only time I complain is about sites like this one (asean.com aka thaivisa) or when the government try to highlight/attack foreigners as problems, when I know for a fact foreigners are actually a small problem in Thailand and most of the problems worth talking about are home grown. I watch local news in Thailand and actually talk to people on the street. I know what's going on. Other than that I am not butting into their business or issues.  

Without becoming boring I just want people to know where you are. Thailand usually has a higher murder rate than nearly every European country every year. I really like Thailand, have done for 20 years, but it's not Switzerland or Japan. Exercise caution and no, your biggest threat is not foreigners, but Thais, unless you roll out of bed into a foreigner promoted bar everyday and that's your (sad) life. That's the reality. 

Love all the 2018/2019/2020 account owning clowns trying to tell others something 🙂

On personal experience: Klong Toey, Huay Kwang around market area, used to be Pratunam. 

Indeed Samut Prakan and Bang Kapi slums.

those are "no go zones" at night. During day Bangkok is very safe

 A more real post although I wouldn't class any of those areas as 'no go zones' but at least you recognize areas that are actually worth mentioning towards requiring caution, I would also add a few area of Phaya Thai at night. Areas with tourists or foreigners are not worth mentioning, like a lot of newbie clowns in this comment section are trying to say. You really know nothing or are just deceitful.

Any areas with foreigners. 

 

You are safe amongst the Thai's, peaceful, friendly people. 

Sure you get the occasional bad Thai but from my experience, many years of living here in Thailand, it's the foreigners you got to avoid. 

 

Yeah and i'm sure you hang around areas with foreigners also. You have no idea my guy. You're naive and wet behind the ears.

Amazing news. I feel much more assured that I have been notified that someone worked illegally. I mean that's some heavy stuff that deserves to be reported on. I am sure in Europe, Japan, Singapore and the US they have forums dedicated to foreigners reporting on every single case of petty visa violations /s

Thank you for hanging in there, since 2008................

Well I took over a decade hiatus. Just goes to show I speak from experience.

It most certainly wasn't farang(s) because if it was it would screamed it in the headline. Besides, nowhere in the story does it mention tourist or farang. 

Who cares it's some incel with 3 posts

I want a lot of things but will not succeed.

I agree with your post, but....how you would separate the good visitors/expats from the bad? 

An IQ test? I doubt it. Then for all😂. Oh God🥴

What would YOU do?

Anyone being antisocial who is on a tourist visa - blacklisted for 'x' amount of years depending on the offence. BUT HOWEVER before that happens the authorities should clamp down on red light district activity and full moon party shenanigans. They practically invite these groups of degenerates. BUT AGAIN HOWEVER I have no power regarding this and so I just generally stay cool about petty stuff. As far as I am concerned Thailand at this point would thrive with a clean society and push for clean living expats/tourists.. but agendas, higher powers, I don't know what the plans are for this realm and why I don't get too worked up.

Very sad and I hope the authorities are going to put as much effort into this as possible and media outlets with integrity should keep updating on stages of SAD AND GENUINELY HORRIFIC events that happen to locals by locals with more vigor and empathy. This kind of thing is not even that rare and why I don't really want to hear about a Portuguese woman getting her titties out or a Drunken Brit getting into a petty brawl being portrayed as somewhat equal offences and incidences as what was reported here. Those with a soul and conscience would put such articles into a sub section, with main articles such as this getting the attention.

It's okay, nobody is genuinely concerned, we all just saw some blurry boobs on a woman in a sarong and.. and, it's going to take some time for us to process that.

 

I'm glad you take it like that, but really what I am trying to get people to wake up to is why this site reports specifically of foreign people commenting the most petty offences? Specifically those from Western (read White) countries. I mean this site has always been a bit like that when it was ThaiVisa, but now it's a total clown fiesta it seems. Again having integrity and honour I don't like perversions of the truth which this site seems intent on portraying.

Not a quite common name in Portugal.

Sounds as coming from far East. From Putin's Empire?

Her name has both Arabic and Indian origins, but knowing (personally, in the past..) some of the degenerate women from Europe who travel to Asia she may have changed her name due to some spiritual woo woo yoga nonsense and other trends. Maybe. Also there are lots of people of North Africa decent in Portugal, Spain and France so maybe from there. But anyway guys, this is all petty. I probably know Thailand better than most of you reading this. The nation usually has a murder rate 3x or more than an average European country (by murder rate) such as France or England. Whilst I do really like Thailand, I have these things called integrity and honour. A woman walking around with her titties out is very petty compared to what happened in Thailand that day, or even the Southern Provinces alone. Whilst I want Thailand to start getting rid of the the more trashy visitors, the authorities still allow full moon parties and an open red light district scene. Best thing you can do is just get on with your own life and let things play out.

Let's be serious, the thought of settling in Thailand in those who are truly rich does not pass for a second. 

 

The nexus Quality expat-Thailand is a myth.

If I were rich I would live in Sardinia, Spain, Greece, certainly not Thailand.

 

I would say more like Monaco or Switzerland if you're talking really rich. Or an exclusive Island somewhere. Thailand is still a nice spot. Not that many tropical areas that are relatively safe and I have known quite a lot of expats that have done very well for themselves. Maybe not Swiss villa looking onto the alps type of guys, but still.

apologist, appeaser, or just breathtakingly naive ?

 

Whichever it is, you are an integral part of the problem.

 

Probably a liberal pretending to be a 'free thinker'. I don't fall for social engineering but if you have been around you know Muslims cause trouble everywhere, and furthermore if you know what is written in the Quran and the Hadiths, you know for sure they are not compatible to live with anyone else on a friendly basis. Oddly enough they do have one ally in Western liberals, but that is the clown fiesta I want nothing to do with.

Cultural appropriation perhaps, some may even find it disrespectful.

 

Sounds bizarre I know but that's the thing about respect, its individual.

 

Lets put it in the same group as "No excuses really for not wearing elephant pants", I hear ya. 

If cultural appropriation was legit, and not something that only exists in weirdo leftist circles, then I would lose my mind travelling. The world has basically copied Western Europe unless you go into the mountains, Thailand included.

In English language sites, yes. Read the Thai sites and you'll see information on the Thai apprehended.

That doesn't really work out since in this case and many others the culprit is not of an English speaking country. Perhaps a moderator could interact with some of the publishers and would care to explain why they target negative news at a certain demographic? Unfortunately for them I watch Thai news and I know what happens, and to say a guy getting picked up on DUI is petty is an understatement. I mean it would be a good idea to explain yourselves, because you guys are already a shadow of what ThaiVisa was and lets be real, forums are already somewhat of a remnant. We don't have to click on your site.

If you're living in any country you should learn the local language. It's a respect thing and also has pragmatic benefits. No excuses really.

And the numerous bars advertising Russian ladies are still open on Walking Street in Pattaya....no zooming required. The obvious  in plain sight ignored while people upgrade their zoom lenses? Personally, I could care less what consenting adults do at sea and I don't visit Russian bars on Walking street.  

Regardless, I don't want to see people having sex in public, mostly due to children seeing it and if it opens up too much I will have to witness obese whales getting jiggy. Nightmare fuel. Totally understand Thais not wanting to see that also. However being a balanced individual it needs to reminded this kind of thing is petty, especially in Thailand where if you know the country properly you know this is petty compared to what goes down.

Behave yourselves everyone - this attack on Farangs by Thais with a grudge and a phone camera is not gonna stop anytime soon. 

It doesn't matter that much because 5 minutes later there will be a story of a local guy tying his girlfriend to his motorbike and dragging her down the road. It puts things in perspective.
