Seriously, they want to convince the new arrivals that they will be safe. Will take more than the presence of a few grinning numpties in uniform,  some real Lifeguards at Phuket beaches might be a good start. 

what you need to do is to bang up the guard who took law into his own hands. wai wai and all is non enough.

please tell the public what you plan to do with the guard who manhandled the tourist?

thailand apology is appreciable but how that guard is disposed off is sublimely import - he became the jury

the judge and the executioner. this is no way to go.

You do not attack your benefactors. Thailand owes MONEY to China.

please let us not make this personal. no foreigner should be assaulted.

mr prayut

worrying alone is not sufficient. please see to it that justice is one.

no situation whatsoever merits and assault on foreigners and if you value tourist dollars

please do something drastic to ensure justice in this case and have measures in place that

are tough enough so that no one will dare to repeat incidents like that.

that guy put his hand quite deep in the croc's mouth possibly irritating the animal thereby. hope he recovers soon.

this is his livelihood.no one loves to risk his life or limbs. he was doing the act for a living. good thing he croc let him 

extract his hand from its mouth. it could have been far worse.

Hunt her down like a rabid dog and jail her for 10 years pesky foreigners need to be taught a lesson.

with due respects sammieuk 1 would you recommend similar punishment for a Thai who did a similar act.

follow the law - there are penalties for theft. it is definitely not 10 years.

you can do whatever you want the taxis drivers will still abuse their position.

But would the charlatans adhere to the new pricing, even if it were agreed?

KneeDeep you nailed it. Taxi community is a fraternity without shame or morals

Well the buses and minivans are also very dangerous....good luck.

where do you begin and where do you end. the taxis are terrible, the tuk tuk drivers are a menace, the markets vendors are all out to make a quick buck. There are numerous instances of physical assault ( often by a group against an individual. all these areas need addressing.

whatever the circumstances called the Dr  PEDO is definitely unwarranted. why involve personalities in a miraculous feat.

Thank you on behalf of human race

a sadist sociopath

one week in the slammer will bring this guy into  senses. fines like B500.00 are a mockery.

Yes, with a Wai everything is forgiven!

If so - that is the source of all the malaise. hammer people like these hard so that others wake  up in the process.

idiots like this should not be on the road with a car. he does not know the basics of driving, leave alone U turning.

Making a very wide U-turn, and didn't see the other car coming?????

Probably too busy texting or talking on his cell phone to pay attention to the road. 

 

you are right. that is not the way make a U turn. You have to reduce the speed and keep close to the road divider as much as possible.

You can't expect people wearing a helmet and not using their phones..........only 22 years after the law was issued.

the enforcement agencies must take blame for this madness. acts like this will be reduced if offenders are prosecuted.

They were there 30 years ago when I first went to the Grand Palace. The first thing I tell people that visit the palace is to ignore the touts who tell you it's closed. A friend of mine who visited recently, told me he accepted an offer from one of the tuk-tuk drivers who said the palace was closed, and had a nice half-day tour for 150 Baht and didn't buy anything at the gem shops or tailors that the tuk-tuk driver took him to.

he is lucky. this is a situation for getting abused and assaulted as 150Baht cannot even cover the fuel.

drivers like this should be taken off the road for good.
