Sonhia Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 B.S! I was attacked two weeks ago, in public by a Thai secruity guard for no reason! I reported the attack to Thai Tourist Board, Immgration Police in Pattaya, who are a waste of time, plus the RTP. To date nothing has materialized! If I attack a Thai, all hell would break loose? Thailand has become very unsafe and racist. Sign of the times and a fact!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been unsafe for the thirty years I've been coming here and I've heard it has been unsafe for the previous 2000 years,it's part of the appeal.

Well he didn't keep a straight face,you can clearly see the first photo of him shaking hands shows him struggling the second photo of him shaking hands shows him starting to lose it and the third photo that shows him completely losing it was confiscated by his minders.
