Crime Drunk Foreigner’s Wild Rampage Shocks Chiang Khan Tourists
Picture via Facebook/ เมืองเลย ชาแนล Chaos erupted in Chiang Khan as a drunken foreigner attacked locals and vehicles with a wooden stick, causing pandemonium in the typically serene Isaan town. Residents promptly alerted the Chiang Khan Police Station after witnessing the suspect’s antics, including striking passersby and damaging multiple cars while recklessly riding a motorcycle. The shocking events were quickly shared on social media, as concerned motorists warned others through photos and accounts of the foreigner’s bizarre behaviour. Witnesses primarily attributed his actions to alcohol intoxication, though some speculated drug use could also be a factor. Upon their arrival, police found the foreigner, approximately aged 45 to 55, still at the scene, nationality unconfirmed, and attempted to search him for drugs to no avail. Refusing the search led to the police arresting him and taking him to the station, where a wooden stick and a knife were confiscated. Picture via Facebook/ เมืองเลย ชาแนล Despite the chaotic episode, no severe injuries were reported. Authorities have charged the suspect under three legal provisions: Section 43(2) and Section 43(8) of the Land Transport Act for intoxicated and reckless driving, potentially yielding up to a one-year jail term and fines between 5,000 and 20,000 Baht. Additionally, under Section 64 of the Vehicle Act, he faces charges for driving without a valid licence, risking up to a month’s imprisonment or a fine of up to 1,000 Baht. This is not an isolated event. A similar incident occurred in Phang Nga Province, where another intoxicated foreign motorist was apprehended after crashing into a road construction vehicle and attempting to bribe officers with 10,000 Baht. Phuket, too, witnessed such antics in April when a foreign couple overturned a sedan and shamelessly danced around the wreck, earning significant public disapproval. These incidents highlight a growing concern over unruly behaviour by some foreign visitors in Thailand, underscoring the importance of law enforcement vigilance to ensure public safety in tourist hotspots.

Thailand’s Losing Its Edge — Is Vietnam the Next Real Deal?
You didn't mention the Yanks.......why limit your racism to but a few. Surely, fear of the police has no borders. -

Thailand’s Losing Its Edge — Is Vietnam the Next Real Deal?
A very well thought out, and presented, post. I can't argue with anything in the post because that is also my experience of extensive travel in the countries mentioned - and I mean 40+ visits to Cambodia and 10+ to Vietnam. I am hoping that I get bored with Phu Quoc before they screw that up. I think Vietnam has a more diverse range of locations than Thailand and whilst the 'welcome' is as described, I don't think it is any more friendly than Thailand was say, 20 years ago. Another place where there are too many Russians for my liking. Whilst I doubt that I shall ever leave Thailand, Vietnam was pencilled in for a 3 month p.a. home if the restatement of Thai tax policies had gone pear-shaped. -
