Oztruckie Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I reckon their doing a darn good job of destroying their tourist industry themselves without blaming a few falangs,the clown the other day stating the national airline is nearly about to go under,who in their right mind is going to book tickets with them now,the high baht,ripoff taxis.

I am just uneasy with the Na Neaw ("Vanguard" if anyone was wondering) relationship with Imm, its a little bit too close to manipulation of nationalistic (xenophobic) messages IMHO. Vanguard and Thailand is the ultimate oxymoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beggar Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Great job. Obviously here are many foreign criminals that are hiding. And I am afraid their activities here in Thailand might not be more honest than what they did in their home countries. Good to get rid of such criminal people.

I believe most overstay because of a lack of money to stay legal. Many of the thieves and scammers found, are also overstayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunpa Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Think it is a shame they are damaging tourism, by making these PR stunts and announcements. Anyone who has never been to Thailand will get <deleted> scared when seeing policemen looking like this. And in real life is is quite opposite. Tourist police always are super nice (and smiling) when I come across them. Always asking to take pictures with them, so they can go back and show their boss, that they are doing their job.

spidermike007 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thailand is digging it's own grave when it comes to tourism. Now Little Oud appears to be going the way of the biggest joke. Heading for a quick demise, due to hogging the spotlight. The generals do not like that one iota. Pretty soon they will be begging us to come, rather than telling us in a surly and arrogant manner that we come too often. How inane. No appreciation for what Western tourists, nor the ex-pat community bring to the table. You get what you sow. In this case, they are sowing a national catastrophe. The Thai Army. Moving the nation backwards at an astonishing pace. Destroying Thai lives and any hope of a bright future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago PR's were fairly obtainable if you knew somebody or had the right things going. Now near impossible and very costly. So why would you be unhappy, you are one of the .000000001% who are set.
