I can see the advertisement in front of me. "Visit a prison, meet one or two killers in real life. Maybe you do not survive, but do not worry if that happen, we would take care of your funeral."

well, first come with a plan on how to let tourists back into thailand...

Thailand presses ahead with plans to turn prisons into tourist attractions

Why stop there? Make it mandatory! 

And here is another potential attraction: Visit cabinet minsters' workplaces, where you can witness the birth of mind-boggling ideas firsthand, the ultimate in vacation experiences - these memories will provide entertainment for your friends decades from now...

Now when tourists are let out of their own detention

Great they can go from one detention centre straight into another one.... brilliant idea!

That'll pull a few million in...

Thailand should really start a new breeding programme, they desperately need a prolific and sustained injection into the gene pool.

We foreigners have been doing the best we can but this is getting serious.

Thailands ability to embarrass itself on the world stage is quite astonishing.

Disgraceful. Thai prisons are places of terrible hardship and suffering. Anyone wanting to go visit is just sick, and promoting visits is disgraceful. The only thing I am sure about is that it will be a revenue raiser, as if the jails didn't fleece its inmates enough already.

I wonder what kind of " Tourists " would even want to visit a Thai Prison. My guess is that there are some really perverse individuals that would relish seeing the suffering inflicted in these places.

It certainly would not be on top of my list of must see destinations in Thailand.

The Prisons will almost certainly be Covid " Hotspots " in the future, due to the rampant overcrowding and lack of basic hygiene needs in most.

So you get to pay to come to Thailand and stay in your hotel prison for two weeks and then you can pay to see where you could have been staying if the government hadn’t been looking out for you ! ????

How many lady drinks was he buying when he rang the bell ? ????

Why should I pay entry to get into a Thai prison when I can go there so easily for free at any time, in this Banana republic?

Cant make this stuff up.

Amazing Thailand.????‍♂️

Wonder if Amnesty International or the UN are aware of what appears to me to be a disregard of human rights, and financial exploitation of prisoners of the state?

The chinese would be up for this, if you have seen how they behave in theme parks, zoo's, swimming pools, tourist attractions in general.

Definetley up their street

There's a niche group of females that fancy jailbirds. The worse the crime, the better.

Clearly a counter to the quarantine plan which turns tourist resorts into prisons

It does make you wonder that any revenue generated from this would be used to make the inmates lives more bearable or to line someone else's pocket.... 

Nothing to wonder about, the answer is very clear.

Comedy gold from the nutters every week, billions of baht on obsolete submarines, cops to visit the parents of a kindergarten toddler and now prisons as a tourist attraction.

 

They must sit around with their crack pipes totally stoned to come up with this lunacy.

 

 

Nope, it just comes naturally without having effort. 

Modeled after the U.S. "Scared Straight" program just on a bigger scale.

The only thing attractive about visiting a Thai prison would be to see all the corrupt, crooked grubs who ever put their filthy hands in the national and local coffers and stole from the common people lined up behind bars like the common criminals they really are! That would attract me!

Well don't hold your breath ????

They’re finally going to arrest the tourists that book with AirBnB

Thai prisons are nothing to be proud of. They should be hidden in shame.

Actually it is a clever plan by cha cha. He has worked out that if he surrounds himself with absolute f.....ing idiots, then it makes him look smarter. What a brilliant plan. Not.

Could we change his name to Baldrick who is always full of clever plans ????
