Israeli family says Koh Samui park refused entry

An Israeli family visiting Koh Samui says it was refused entry to Samui Exotic Park in Mae Nam because of its nationality, before a confrontation with a man representing the attraction.

Videos shared online on 14 August show the family, who were accompanied by two young daughters, challenging staff at the park entrance. Later posts on the park's official Instagram Story appeared to endorse the exclusion of Israeli visitors.

Family records confrontation

Footage filmed by the mother, and widely circulated online, begins with her speaking to staff behind a counter.

"Because we're from Israel? What have we done to you? We haven't done anything," she says in the recording.

The footage then cuts to a man described as representing the zoo telling the family to leave. "Okay, bye. Bye-bye," he says.

When the woman asks for his name, the man responds with profanity. As she repeats the question, he approaches the group and says: "Move off my place."

The man then appears to attempt to headbutt the woman's husband. She replies, "Okay, okay, we're leaving. We're leaving," before he throws a small white sign in her direction while she continues recording.

Park account posts anti-Israeli imagery

Samui Exotic Park also posted silent CCTV footage of the confrontation, filmed from behind the counter. The wider-angle video appears to show the family, including the two girls, leaving the entrance area after the dispute.

Further Instagram Stories on the park's official account appeared to reinforce its position. One clip showed an Israeli flag carrying a red no-entry symbol beside a shooting target marked with holes.

As the camera moved from the sign to a nearby Free Palestine flag, the person filming could be heard whistling.

Those later posts do not independently confirm the family's account of events before recording began. However, they appeared to show that the attraction's official social-media account supported refusing Israeli visitors after the confrontation.

The park had previously drawn online criticism for displaying Palestinian flags and a "Free Palestine" sign. At that time, Samui Exotic Park said it welcomed visitors of all nationalities, while expecting guests to respect its rules.

Erm, the Muslin faith started in 601 CE/AD so could easily been around at the time you are referencing.

So you are saying that the money changers that Jesus expelled from the temple could have been Islamic even thought their religion didn't exist until 600 years after his?

I saw two obviously young Israeli boys maybe 13 years old walking in Central in Koh Samui talking in Hebrew, I would presume.

I recognized one word "Muslim"

I thought hmmm that's strange, why are they talking about "Muslim" walking through a mall in Thailand?

There weren't any Muslims around that I could see.

Conclusion: Brainwashing victims of hate from their parents and teachers 👈

Hey Avi :

There's some weird guy following us around .

Hes been following us around within earshot for the last 30 minutes

Hey Schlomo : He might be wanting to attack us , does he look like a Muslim ?

SiSe : Well there you go, thats proof that all Israelis are brainwashed into hating Muslims , I need to get on A.N to publish the results of my investigation and report

Getting to the point now that Nazis businesses everywhere should just post a sign on their store front with "Achtung Jude".

Is it okay for me to refuse service to Arabs for their BS manure and intolerance? Hmmm... awkward.

Yeah surely.its just a coincidence that the discrimination is only targeted towards the one and only Jewish nation. That's the ticket.

You guys are so transparent.

You hate Jews when they do have power.

You hate Jews when they don't have power.

You hate Jews when they are rich.

You hate Jews when they are poor.

You hate Jews when they assimilate too much.

You hate Jews when they do not assimilate.

You hate Jews when they are intellectual nerds.

You hate Jews when they are super fit IDF soldiers or Wonder Woman etc.

Etc. etc.

(Message to "progressive" Israel demonizing Jews --- they hate you too.)

If you do not speak Farsi how do you know that maybe they were praising Britain for welcoming them rather that the opposite?

Same as Laos or Vietnam cannot just go and settle in Thailand justifying it with the fact that many large areas, including national parks, forest reserves, public domains, and certain rural or agricultural zone, are unregistered by the Thailand Department of Lands.

Cambodia seems to have no problem doing it.

In a rule-of-law country, a private business does not have an unlimited right to choose its customers. You cannot simply refuse customers on the basis of race, religion or other protected characteristics. Being a private business does not put you above anti-discrimination laws. Thai law also prohibits unjust discrimination, including on the grounds of race and religion.

Unless you need to go to a hospital as a non Thai and then pay double the price of a Thai national. Decisions upheld by the supreme court.

It´s a bit of both. Thais are fully aware of the war crimes and crimes against humanity Israel is committing every day and are worried they might plan something similar in Thailand as they have frequently observed the misbehavior and the lack of basic respect towards the locals.

All right, instead of going out and having fun I'm wasting another Saturday night with this thread.

I looked up a few more sources and the story seems to be the following:

This zoo has had problems with Israelis for almost 2 years.

They have been harassing the female owner and mistreating the animals, sometimes by letting their kids just walk into the birdcages and later complain why they have poop on their shoes and then flooding their website with negative reviews.

It went so far that they even killed a parrot.

They also try to get in without paying with their latest trick be being having one of them enter the zoo and pay for the ticket and then secretly open the exit door and let eight other Israelis in.

The owner has regularly filed complaints with the authorities but as this did not help she put a free Palestine flag at the entrance hoping to keep Israelis away.

That`s when the <deleted>storm started with her getting up to 90 messages, some of them threatening her life, every day.

Hers is not the only business facing problems with Israelis in Thailand. Many restaurants reported that they have been bullied or Israelis moved on without payment.

 

A lot of Israeli people seem to have this really horrible sense of entitlement that comes partly from being that they themselves consider to be the "chosen people", which could not possibly be farther from the truth, and partly from being rather defensive about their nation, their nation's policies, and who they are.

Everybody should have the right to refuse service to anyone regardless of nation race or nationality based on consistently bad behavior. So I think it's overall a positive thing for Israelis to get a taste of their own medicine.

That's discrimination based on nationality, same as is the case here. Afaik that's allowed in Thailand.

Your comments about Jews being the “chosen people”, having a sense of entitlement, and Israelis collectively deserving “a taste of their own medicine” sound remarkably close to classic antisemitic stereotypes.

The way you portray Jews as a collectively entitled and privileged group is getting dangerously close to the kind of antisemitic thinking found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

These types of self hating Jews think being that way will vaccinate them against racist Jew hatred.

The establisments that don't want Israeli customers , quite likely wouldn't want any Jewish customers at all .

I do expect that you will respect their choice and walk on by

The modern state of Israel was declared by a generation that learned its attitudes from the Nazis, and passed them on to subsequent generations.........that's not going to make them popular anywhere but home.

I have a hard time believing you can honestly think Jews who were confined in concentration and death camps learned their attitudes from the Nazis. What Jews learned from the Holocaust was that they had to be able to defend themselves to ensure their survival. The best way to do that was and is to have a Jewish majority homeland with a strong military force.

If any nation is plannning Holocaust, chapter 2, it will find that Jews no longer walk quietly to their annihilation. The situation in Gaza is proof of that. Attack Jews and you'll be hit hard. Never again is now!

Regarding the examples you gave of Israeli tourists behaving badly in Thailand, that happens with all foreign tourist visitors. Some will always get out of line and even commit crimes under local law. Israeli tourists aren't unique in this respect.

During the nine years I lived full time in Pattaya, I saw countless examples of tourist misbehavior involving nationals from Russia, the U.K., Norway, Ireland, Australia, India. Sweden. China and several others. Only a small number were violent incidents and they almost always involved drunk bar patrons. Rude behavior and shouting matches were rampant, but it usually didn't get more serious than that.

That's a fact of life in tourist areas. It's unfortunate but it happens.

Israeli tourists are by no means the worst. That badge of shame is probably worn by Russians, followed by mainland Chinese. Among Western countries, British hooligans and chavs have the worst reputation, with Aussie bogans kicking up badly in Bali and elsewhere. Drunk young men from Sweden and Norway aren't usually violent but can become troublesome.

Amsterdam asks ‘wild’ young male British tourists to ‘stay away’

Amsterdam is asking young British men to “stay away” if they plan to visit the city to cut loose and “go wild”.

The Netherlands’ capital’s new online campaign to tackle nuisance tourism launched this week and targets visitors between the ages of 18 and 35, the city’s local authority announced in a news release on Tuesday.

I am American and I am Jewish. While i draw a distinction between individuals and government, I can't get too upset about this. Israelis can't support or toleerate their government practicing apartheid and genocide and expect to be welcome all over the world.

In other words this American jew condones the rape of Israeli women an the could blooded beheading of jewish infant.

Well I was brought up as a Jew and I've been around Jews my whole life, and there are a remarkable percentage of Jews that buy into this chosen people nonsense.

I loved Jews I have many Jewish friends and and close family members but I think that it's always healthy to admit the shortcomings that some of our people have. Isn't it?

Absolutely 100%, I have no problem avoiding establishments that don't want my patronage. I'm very happy to find another alternative. No offense taken whatsoever, and that's how reasonably mature men with thick skin typically react.
