rooster59 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Tourism in meltdown: Unprovoked glue sniffer attack on two Chinese tourists in Chiang Mai Image: Sanook Sanook reported on what they described as another devastating blow to Thai tourism. In the latest case the glue sniffing son of a downtown tailor went after two Chinese tourists with a wooden club as they innocently took photos in a tourist area. The attack occurred in the Wua Lai Road area where there is a night market walking street popular with visitors. The 24 year old glue sniffer told police that he had a paranoid attack and thought the tourists were out to get him. He laid into the Chinese with whacks to the face and body. They ran in terror covered in blood and were helped by locals who got them to hospital. The suspect was soon in custody. His parents had tried to stop him without success, reported Sanook. The unprovoked attack happened last night in front of Wat Nantharam as the tourists happily snapped holiday photos. The attacker is now in custody. Tourism from China has suffered recently after a series of incidents and this latest one will do nothing to restore confidence. Source: Sanook -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-10-20 1

The fact that the CHINESE tourists took whacks to the face and body tends to pale into significance, in comparison to the effects to the tourist industry. 7 4
Popular Post observer90210 Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2018 Wish that the crazy creep had attacked some pesky innocent farang retiree expat, as it would not have even made the news. More "quality" chinese will boycott Thailand and soon they just won't come any more, just like the farangs from the west who have deserted Thailand for other more hospitable countries. Amen. 15 3 3
Popular Post worgeordie Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2018 TAT will soon report an increase of tourists from unnamed countries that are at least a 10% rise over the decrease in Chinese arrivals,so everything is OK,.....honest regards wogeordie 4 8
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 But but but.... we're going to offer them all free visa on arrival stamps... I know that certainly would be worth it to me.... even if it meant getting beaten bloody! 1 1 1
Popular Post jollyhangmon Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2018 LOL ... I'm sorry, I know it's not funny, especially for the Chinese ... Was just thinking they bent over in all possible directions for quite some time now in an effort to 'restore confidence' etc., pp. - and along comes a (literally) braindamaged glue-sniffer and funks it all up in a minute ... Should have had a smoke that bloke ... 5 3
mommysboy Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Tourism is down because Chinese consumers are beginning to feel the pinch. 2
Mickmouse1 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 So who is in need of a PR CAMPAIGN NOW? EDUCATIONAL &AWARENESS PR exercise is needed at home before going abroad to the poor Chinese tourists. Whatever the anti chinese/racists falangs say , the fact is Thailand prefers them as they bring in more $$$$ if not per capita then as A WHOLE

PS; If he was "high" on glue does that mean he "got stuck into them" and will he now come to a sticky end? ????

It felt less safe to me even than Pattaya already years ago when I was living more or less in BKK. Starting with the red song-taews on arrival and through to the strange entertainment venues at night... As friendly as a croc, quietly sitting in shallow water

As a whole is large volume , low margin tourism good in a country reluctant to invest in adequate infrastructure , health and safety measures or environmental protection....no ! 3

Popular Post wcoast Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2018 My God, some of you and your pathetic attempts at humor when two people get bashed about the face and body with a club. Nobody except your like-minded dimwitted TV posters find anything remotely contributing to reasonable discourse. Likely you share the same pot of glue as the whacked out assailant. Typically you've been on TV for a year or two, you have about a 1000 posts, because you have no life in the real world. Sent from my abacus using Tapatalk 1 1 2 1

It's true, why bother, fact is I don't have much hope for man, but I do hold out hope for humanity. Collectively. Even tho Thailand may resemble a roomful of misfits at times.meh.. intensity... hardly... Their just selected words. Sent from my abacus using Tapatalk 1
