Well, you probably won't end up losing limbs - like some tourists did a number of years ago in bangkok- due to bombs. 

But Thailand is now a totalitarian state, with constant monitoring of your every movements by not just immigration but also all businesses are now agents of the state aand part of the gestapo - banks , hotels, phone companies, rental companies etc - all want to check your visa!!!!! 

 

Thailand might not be in the same league as North Korea, but it is not a welcoming country for foriegn visitors.

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!' 

What were you doing that prompted the attack?

I would say that banks, hotels etc are the ones living in fear if they DON'T check your visa. Foreign visitors are "collateral damage" 

Yep ! Thailand is a real safe Country to visit.

We only have almost Daily Bombings and Shootings in the Southern Provinces.

There is also a really large outbreak of Dengue Fever spreading across the North East region, that seems to be getting worse by the Day

And for your pleasure, we now have bombs in the Capital, Bangkok.

All of these extras are of Course, in addition to the regular offerings of Scammers, Thieves, Food Poisoning, and Unsafe Boat trips that we offer.

Welcome to Thailand where we relish your Money.

They shut down Hua Hin last night, big night markets (Takiab), the entire downtown nightlife area - everything forced to close - it was a ghost town on a Friday night.

 

Why did they do that if it's safe out there?

 

Was Bangkok open as usual?

If he'd have made the speech in Soi 6, drunk as a skunk with a girl on each arm, I may not have been believed but I'd have had a good time !

The mindset is that their audience is mostly simple minded Thais and that kind of meaningless utterance is all that’s required there. However they cannot make the mental leap to understand that Westerners are rather more perceptive and questioning and see right through their nonsensical assurances.

I have to admit i will enjoy reading about the idiots being ripped off while i enjoy reading the augmented reality these worms squirm around in.

"Pipat Ratchakitprakarn joined with Tourism Authority of Thailand officials and Tourist Police on a PR exercise in Yaowarat Road." 

 

Are these the people that said that tourist figures were up in Phuket a few days ago when in fact they were at least 30% down? If yes, then I have nothing further to add!

 

OK, OK and OK. I survived through the IRA bombs in London UK in the 70s which was a very tence time for all working and living in London (apart from the bombers!). I recall then all the bins and letter boxes were blocked.  Not sure if that has appened on Bangkok or around Thailand especially in tourists hot spots?

 

I would like to believe as a British foreign living in Bangkok (That a Thai national says it's safe! I wonder if that statement is really true)

 

However these events of bombs being set off in the capital has been going on for several years and clearly is NOT resolved!

 

Of course foreign tourists with young families must be concerned with Friday's 2nd August bombs in Bangkok and were all bombs reported by the media . Mm i Wonder.

 

Of course it pays to be careful at stressful times like this, report anything suspicious. Be diligent and steer clear of busy areas across Thailand, if possible!

 

To that end and to all try and stay safe!

In Thailan,in Thailan etc etc..

Again and again, will never stop...

 

EVERY weeks Thailand make some news looks like a first april,
but it's no a joke !

 

 

From all of the replies on the first page I guess we have a bunch of guys ready to move out, I guess you guys are on your way to Phillipines.

BANG !!!!!!!!, just disregard that,nothing happened, Thailand is safe,

you have more chance been killed crossing the road than been blown up....all is well.

As he toured around in his new US armored personnel vehicle....

Not the sort of bang tourists want in Thailand. 

Boom Boom bang.

I'm sure tourist figures next month release be impressive now tourists getting more bang for their Baht .

MRT and skytrain main stations always been high risk for bombing and between poor security and over crowded platforms due to running minimal equipment it could be horrific and unfortunately too easy implemented .
