Justice minister Somasak Thepsuthin is throwing the doors of Thailand's prisons open

Is that a good idea .. I thought the idea of prison doors is to keep them shut .. it might get draughty otherwise ..

Bound to appeal to the "High End" tourist market. ????????

To get the full experience tourists could do  their 14 day quarantine there.

 

 

that took LOL to a new level .... Parliament should become a tourist attraction , the walking dead .

Akin to paying the jailers to go laugh at the inmates of Bedlam.

It appears they are starting to realize that Thailand doesn't truly have much to offer in the form of attractions which are tourist based. So they have to scrap the bottom of the of the pit to come up with something, anything new to present. Example, few months back they spoke about legalizing prostitution...

The writing is on the wall, the country is desperate to attract new tourism; hopefully with deep pockets, so the locals can do even less to appeal to the tourism they do interact with, while still getting a financial return, solely based on location, not on services or products, since both are only fare at best, with hygiene and safety at the very bottom of their consideration list.. Thailand is still holding tight on the idea that foreigners get their funds so easily and in plentiful supply as well, so no matter what occurs in the world, we will always have money to travel, and our employer are always handing out long vacations annually. All Thailand needs to do is just come up with a genius idea to attract the naive tourist that isn't truly aware of how boring Thailand truly is, or how risky it can be with concerns to dining out (seniors being beaten and filmed in Hua Hin, and in Pattaya) or traveling within the country (motorcycles coming down the roadways & sidewalks in all directions) just a few things that come to mind, which tourist might be surprised to see, which isn't displayed on ads. Nor for the smokers in the world, that will be surprised to be slapped with 100k fine for smoking outside, on the beach. I'm so glad I'm not a smoker, I would hate the law, as it makes no sense at all.

Will they be offering an Air B & B or just the regular holiday package :whistling:

Right. This is the same genius who came up with the idea of "Thaksino Jeans" to please and promote his boss at the time.

Good time to read Locked up Abroad Twice A. Clark on sale on kindle amazon. 

Nobody cares about you or your coffee, nobody gaf about what ya think. And nobody in their right mind wants to go to prison. 
 

It’s a troll for idiots like me.

It is part of plans to rehabilitate prisoners in Thai jails by giving them a chance to work, develop skills and perhaps open their own businesses on release. 

who want to emploi somebody who ended finally in jail for serious wrongdoings

 

most go back to their old ways of easy MONEY

 

working for a salary is not on these guys mind anyway

 

great ideas by MORONS in power

Must be some secret worldwide contest going on "Stupidest political idea"

Thailand faces some stiff competition. Used to win it in a walk

Just another distraction tactic from the development in the Boss case.

Thats great! I suggest the next tourist attractions of Thailand to be some of the U-turns along the busiest roads in Thailand. They could advert something like this:

 

REAL traffic accidents - watch them live from your airconditioned van. Watch motorbike drivers without helmets and other safety features be crushed by speeding pick up truck with drunk drivers.

 

Satisfaction guarantee - if you dont happen to witness an accident you will get your money back!

Just that little part of the sentence will be applauded by the prisoners I think! 

New property on Booking.com......Bangkok Hilton!

it will be the first country in the world to have zoos with humans behind bars instead of animals.

Everyday here is like 1st April. I love it! 

They obviously don't have a clue as to what tourists want when on holidays.

Book a cell with a view of the yard. It's their best seller! 

Jolly good idea, maybe the project could be sponsored or funded by Red bull

Good point, dolphins also! and people (used) queue up and pay to go into these place, sure certain nationalities would also pay to watch people incarcerated, nothing quite like viewing others misfortune, adds to the superiority complex ????                                  :shock1:

we did away with public hanging in the UK some 200 years ago, (1868 was the last one) but at the time, they were well attended family events and considered great entertainment.

Come on in the US they had guided tours of Alcatraz,  But tours of functioning prisons?  Hmmm what could possibly go wrong? Prison escape using captured tourists as hostages ? So called tourists breaking their friends out of jail? 

why not bring buses in with yaba heads, speed racers bag and gold snatchers and let then see how it really is, 120 people trying to sleep in a cell made for 50, fish heads and rice

etc

“Brilliant”... why didn’t I think of that? 

wow... another copycat of the Alcatraz/Sentosa experience

Have these ministers lost all sense of reality or what. This is clutching at straws. For gods sake drain the swamp now.
