His big mistake was moving his lips.When five bomb go off in one day in Bangkok would indicate it is something other than safe.He also forgot to mention how safe Thai roads are.

Every good if you not in wrong place at wrong time 555

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.

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget road safety and the immaculate air. World class.

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!' 

I got punched by a thai

for telling him not to throw Rubbish in the streets 

he got locked up after the court verdict ten days 

In jomtien 

each time with police when 

whoever is wrong be it thai

the police sided to the righteous 

me the Falang 

[Fairynuff]

I think it’s time to make foreigners report their whereabouts every day. Let’s call it TM30.V.2

[Torrens54]

Well at least he showed-up,even if he had a gaggle of body guards.

Well, sad as it is. Was brave of you. BUT, you might become a bit less safe in Jomtien. Watch out and be careful.

Wizard of Id."Five bombs in BKK and all is well."

...........and black is white. 

But to be fair there’s probably more chance of winning the lottery than being killed by a bomb. My concern is whether this is the start of something bigger or a “one off”. 

.......or will martial law be enacted?

[observer90210]

Quite true what the minister says....a foreigner has more chances to get into a mess and big trouble  with immigration/police, then with some ping pong bombs in Bangkok....

[stickyrice2000]

Thailand is safe as long as the explosive is not near you.   I am sure tourists are excited to play mine game.

[mmushr00m]

Just last week TAT projected a 9% increase. I guess that's out if the window now.

On the other hand TAT can shift the blame and say it's not their fault.

Would someone tell me again, the problem with the Philippines?

 

Ongoing drug war, extreme typhons, lack of proper infrastructure - the trafic sucks, the Food isn't great, outdated Medical supplies,  Garbage everywhere - to mention some … 

 

When you take Things for granted in Thailand then a trip to the Phillipines is a great way to remind you how Nice Thailand actually is in most ways …

I bet the tourist arrivals will go up after the bombings.

Pictures here are interesting: First shows the minister talking to Western people (Tourists or local farangs..?) He doesn’t shake hands and the white fella’s arm is being held by his partner (?) who’s body language looks like he’s gonna have a go at the minister, who is not very sure either (he does look worry). Second picture shows the same minister warmly shaking hands (with both hands) with an asian, as if he was thankful for being saved from the white fella’s. Is the asian Thai or Chinese ? I bet for Chinese, where the revenue comes from..

As for the safety yarn... you all be careful when you cross the road.

At least Terminal 21 and other malls seem safe.. (unlike El Paso where we just had another mass shooting with 18 dead)

[macgver]

Safe? Big question? Recently, I heard that there are more robbery compare before ... condo got broke in, car windscreen got smashed and etc.

[dogfish180]

...... And there is no prostitution on Walking Street.

As I remember, the same was said after the Erewan Shrine bombing after 20 people were killed....must be part of the oath they take when assuming office

That was Thailand's Walmart

[SmartyMarty]

safe for zip lining, safe for tourist boats, safe for jetskis, and now totally safe for Bangkok tourists.

Seems as though you have only seen Manila or Angeles City. 

Ongoing drug war? Could be the United States. Typhoons? Again could be the United States. We just call them hurricanes. Traffic? Are you kidding?

Food. Thai food really is not all that great. Garbage everywhere? When was the last time you drove around Khon Kaen?

You forgot the beaches. Oh that's right! The beaches in the Philippines are a hundred times better than Thailand.

Yeh sure try ringing 1155 at 11pm on a Sat night on a holiday weekend,only works if you have your local Tourist Police officers Mobile number.

4 villas near me got broke into the other week all in one day, it's low season nothing else to do

[bendejo]

Imaginary dialogue:

"Farang should not worry about bombs in Thailand.  Getting killed by bomb is much, much less likely than getting killed in automobile accident.  Oops!"

 

 

[StevieAus]

Realistically what did you expect him to say Thailand is unsafe stay away ?

He did what every other government representative around the world has done when there has been problems try and make everyone believe all is well business as usual.

According to one Filipino critic, Duterte's "war on drugs" has seen 29,000 Filipinos assassinated by  Police death squads. Duterte doesn't have a very high opinion of sex tourists or paedophiles either.
