It's actually just this site lol. Thai news is mostly full of more serious incidents (sometimes silly..) which of course mostly involves locals.

Absolute nonsense. Eating meat 'sparingly' or being a vegetarian is not the same as veganism. A vegan will not even have backyard chickens for eggs. A lot of religions have times for restrictions on animal products, and yes including Buddhism. Also a lot of the people who eat meat sparingly is due to affordability, just like in Europe poor people would have stews where meat was the minority of a serving. Do you know where you find vegans? In Western cities such as London, Berlin, Sydney, LA etc Oh and one other outside of the west of course - Chiang Mai.. It would make more sense if the woo woo spiritual Vegans (who rarely last more than a few years before their health declines) would go to India. A large chunk of Hindus are vegetarians, but again not vegans, they consume a lot of dairy products.

I remember veganism was being pushed really hard in the West 5-10 years ago, and as far as I can tell it remains a mostly Western failed movement/ideology. It seems to have died down from what I can tell since the c00f. I remember the typical city dwelling Western vegan's holy land was Chiang Mai, which did confuse me as I think I can count Thai vegans I have met on one hand and they eat a... wide variety... of animals.

I will say petty theft is less common in Thailand in my experience than Europe in general, but anecdotal dribble aside and onto more serious stuff, the murder rate in recent years in Thailand is always around 3-4 times higher than the UK. Admittedly it's better than when I first visited Thailand nearly 20 years ago and has generally gone down every year, back then I would see things on local news that gets a brief mention for a day or two that would get international exposure if it was an incident in a Western country. It's similar to how this site often highlights petty crime by foreigners when in the same time period more serious crime has been committed by Thai citizens. Not a fan of double standards. However I do think the murder rate will continue to generally drop over the coming years, and internationally it's on the moderate side so I wasn't trying to fearmonger anyone.

Call me a social justice warrior, maybe a real one.. Anyway this site is an absolute disgrace in reporting news on what is happing in Thailand. Being someone that cares about people if you want to report news, then report on local news properly. I don't want to hear about some German guy who was found with a single magic mushroom when in the same day a Thai guy beat the absolute crap out of his girlfriend and she ended up in hospital requiring emergency aid. Just an example, but not an uncommon one. This site doesn't report the reality of Thailand meaning the Thai victims of crime are often neglected and people of Europe or European decent are actively reported on, no matter how petty the incident. Apart from farang kee nok and some delusional Thai people this site is reporting against the people. You are not reporting on the injustices and issues of Thai people for the most part, and are overall reporting unfairly on foreign visitors/residents. Please try to improve so you can become respected.

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 🙂

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.

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.

Until crime is reduced to a level of Japan or Switzerland I can't take reports like this serious. Clamp down on murder, road carnage, domestic violence, promotion of international sex tourism and degenerate full-moon parties then maybe a young girl urinating in an appropriate place deserves some spotlight.

I must admit I found Thailand lacking in customer service/efficiency in anything more than getting some noodles or a taxi, but then I went to the Philippines and all was forgiven.

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

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

Who cares it's some incel with 3 posts

Oddly enough this incident where a Thai was killed by another Thai gets way less traction than some Brit guy who crashed into a few parked cars/bikes. Really highlights the trash that circulate this site. Probably the one's in their condo 167 hours in a week and the one hour they come out they wouldn't say say boo to a goose. Stay low.

Yeah this site and the remaining grumpy old man's club are bottom rung

If you consider this "wreaking havoc" then you probably spend a lot of time in your condo coffin and don;t see what the locals get up to. I wonder what Mrs save the frogs is getting up to while you wonder your box in the sky all day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
