Regarding this incident, I need more info.

I looked up the guy's youtube channel, but it's not in English.

He's probably advocating deporting all muslims.

 

Similarly on here, when the govt has some anti-western immigration policy or rhetoric, people are fuming. Why? Because you want to stay here. 

 

My parents were immigrants. So am I supposed to take an anti-immigrant stance? 

 

Japan has an anti-immigrant stance. There is some wisdom to it. Human beings are inherently racist and it's not easy for different cultures to mix. And the culture does get diluted when there are too many immigrants.

 

But in some countries, the ship has sailed. There's no turning back. And where is it all heading? In 200 or 600 years, you won't be able to tell the difference between a white person and an arab and an asian because they will merge into one giant mixed race. At least racism will be solved. And who are you gonna go to war with if everyone is a mix of 6 different ethnicities? 

 

This is what we will all look like in the future.

 

I am guessing you are from the US as you differentiate between 'Arab' and 'Asian', you guys struggle with reality. It's not entirely your fault, I looked into the media in the US and the screen flicker rate and aggressive advertising they do. Mind frying stuff.. But anyway, at least your parents didn't move you to Thailand, you wouldn't even be a Thai citizen as one of your parents are not Thai 🙂 and you would never be considered Thai if your phenotype doesn't blend in. Of course you will ignore that though and again the Westerners moving to Thailand are not comparable to the immigration situation in Western Europe and even with your MKUltra'd brain you even know the comparison is one of zero integrity.

Read a book called America Alone. The demographics of the west and even Russia, are doomed and the muslims know this.  Western politicians are weak and naive and grossly overpaid, not to mention, not too bright either.  Unless the west cracks down seriously on this problem, they are doomed down the road.  Japan has the right idea, never let them in. 

The people who run the show and their social engineers are certainly far from being 'not too bright'. They want to set up a hard caste system in Europe and it looks like parts of East Asia will be next. It also helps with lowering the number of higher IQ people (potential threats).

Also the Philippines above Thailand? What exactly is this based on? Spend a month travelling Thailand. Then do the same in the Philippines. Then dare come look me in the eye and say the Philippines is a country you 'loved' more. Just some random surveys.

I mean good for them, but I just don't want to become invested in an Islamic country, which Malaysia is, and could become another Iran any year (look at pics of Iran in the 70's). At any point full Sharia Law can come in and then it's misery. Even though no country is perfectly stable I will take my chances outside of Islamic country and ride out on that one, and yes Malaysia is in a murky ground between being a straight Islamic state and a secular country.

You sound very uptight.

The thread is UK warns British tourists to behave in Thailand or face jail time

 

I don’t get what you are ranting on about.

181 posts and joined a week ago! What else upsets you my guy? Which other subjects have the social engineers caused you to be a finger pointing/pitchfork raising state of mind over?

Does BBC count as British media?

"Ex-Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick proposes migrant crime data is published," 30 March 2024 By Suzanne Leigh,BBC News

• "Details of nationality, immigration and visa status should be recorded whenever a criminal is convicted, ex-immigration minister Robert Jenrick has proposed.
• At the end of June 2023, there were 10,321 foreign nationals in prison in England and Wales, out of a total prison population of 85,851.
• More than half of foreign prisoners were European. The most common nationalities were Albanian, Polish, Romanian, Irish and Jamaican."

Currently in Europe going by nationality or even 'European' has to be questioned, it can be someone from any corner of this realm. It's one of the things I respect about Thailand is that they keep some coherence to being considered Thai. You can't just move to Thailand, mooch around for 5 years and eat some pad Thai and get citizenship.

And young Brits like to king hit old men?

I think your idea of what an old man is and mine are two entirely different things. The British guy looks to be a pensioner himself..

Thai media appears to be inciting racial tensions. Anything bad about a farang gets front page billing. Thai on Thai…yawn.

 

Or maybe these farang stories only get top billing in English Thai media in order to incite opinions among farang. Equally bad in my book.

 

The media should show some responsibility and report matters of consequence, not race.

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

You must not know many Thai's as it is pretty popular of course in a Buddhist country.

The Thai Vegetarian festival, locally known as the Jae Festival, is a nine-day vegetarian food festival celebrated all over Thailand.

 

Not to mention all the Jae restaurants everywhere (the ones with the Yellow Logo) 

 

That aside many upcountry Thai's may eat meats but usually sparingly in a Nam Prik form. Not in Slabs like most westerners 

 

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.

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.
