Your reply shows you know absolutely nothing about Thailand.

Thai culture is replete with saving face and assigning blame in order to save face.

Foreigners are the perfect scapegoat for assigning such kind of blame:

 

1) COVID-19 cases increasing? - too many foreigners coming into Thailand, their fault

2) Unemployment / too many Thai people out of work? - too many foreigners stealing jobs from Thai's, their fault again

 

3) Getting scammed a lot lately? - Too many dodgy foreigners trying to trick Thai's, their fault yet again

4) Allegations of prostitution being rife in Thai society? - There is no prostitution in Thailand, except illegal foreign prostitutes who come from African and Eastern European countries - those pesky foreigners again

 

Perfect summation of how Thais are never responsible for their own problems ! Living in a bubble

They should also be warning Thai's ,about Thai's scamming them with various

pyramid schemes,you know the ones offering 10-20 % returns a month ????,

even though common sense says its not possible,they still get hooked on

a regular basis .

Thais getting a taste of their own scheming and scamming?

Well... what goes around comes around, as they say.

Darn, those wretched foreigners learn FAST!

Ummm, I don't think the Thai scammers get scammed, but if I understand correctly what you say, if 1 foreigner scams Thais it's OK for Thais to scam any unrelated foreigner just because he/ she is a foreigner

Only in a reverse split buffalo mortgage.

And hundreds of thousands of foreigners were not ripped off daily by Thai.  How convenient he forgot that tiny fact.
