Hmmm.

So the millions of people who visit the Nazi death camps in Europe are sick?

Sorry, don't think so.

Well I for one think they are !

K Somsak (original name by the way) is taking over from Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn (Minister of Tourism and Sports)?
Certainly looks like it with these brilliant ideas?

What an excellent idea! But unfortunately, where are the tourists?

On top, as a tourist, I don’t want to fly ✈️ many miles away to visit the criminals in the prison. I'd rather spend my holidays in the island ????with my family . I bet there will be some sort of fees to visit these criminals. I rather spend that money at the bar on cold beers.???? Besides, I wouldn’t want to try the food cooked by chefs behind the bars! What’s next? A slum tour of Bangkok? ???????? What a joke! ????

What about opening up the Thai army barracks for tourists? The UK House of Parliament is open to tourists, so why not?

thailand; visit our temples & prisons, about the same people who live in both if you read the news

he had always believed in rehabilitation and that by giving convicts the right tools they won't reoffend. 

The "right tools" meaning "a blood disease."

This is ethically wrong on so many levels to parade people under extreame duress for self gratification, this sums up everything that is backward about the Thai mindset... a very sick mindset.

To the deleted post by ‘bk6060’ your a shame to humanity... the comment is sick to compare criminals in Thai jails to that of innocent men, women and children murdered by the Nazi regime ... you should be ashamed of your comment and you need help ... you sick ****! The death camps are no comparison to a Thai jail... you village idiot of the highest order!

With the visa amnesty about to end , I am not sure what side of the fence I could be on .

I dont know whether I will be going to the jail to see the prisoners  or whether tourists will be coming to look at me
