Tourism in Thailand is finished.
Oh Bob, FFS, not this same, thread again that you've recycled more times already than a used condom. At this point, your posts about Thailand are like reruns of a soap opera no one asked to watch, same script, slightly different whingeing. Visas! Scams! Strong baht! Earthquakes! Masked locals! You’ve turned existential despair into a predictable weekly series. Honestly, we get it, Thailand didn’t roll out the red carpet and give you a statue in your honor the last time you flew back in from Japan. Tragic. Meanwhile, you’re sat there in your sweaty, 20m² bachelor bunker behind the haze of Soi BuaKhao, live-streaming complaints into the void, convinced tourists are fleeing en masse to Phnom Penh, Saigon, and Flippers because someone at Suvarnabhumi overcharged you for a bottle of water back in 2016. If Thailand really is the flaming trash pile you say it is, Bob… why is it always the backdrop to your personal Shakespearean drama? At some point, mate, it’s not the country. It’s just you.- 1

Tourism in Thailand is finished.
I joined this forum 22 years ago (goodness me am I old and smelly!) The first post I read was to the effect that tourism was dead in Thailand. The second one was complaining that Pattaya was not a patch on what it used to be! -

The rot started when they legalized weed. Now Thailand attracts the young yobs who just want to get stoned and cause trouble. Hence the number of "influencers" getting busted trying to smuggle weed into the UK. Quality tourists don't want any part of that.- 1

Crime Immigration Ramps Up Airport Security to Block ‘Grey Business’ Foreigners
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Airport immigration authorities in Thailand, particularly at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports, have stepped up surveillance and screening procedures to prevent foreign nationals associated with so-called “grey businesses” from entering the country via air travel. The move follows stricter land border controls now in effect. In line with a government directive to tighten land border crossings, especially in Chanthaburi and Sa Kaeo provinces, the Royal Thai Army has authorised its 1st and 2nd Regional Armies to filter cross-border movements. The new land border measures have been in force since 7 June. Authorities now anticipate that individuals previously entering Thailand from Cambodia via land may attempt to use air travel instead. Pol. Maj. Gen. Cherngron Rimphadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, confirmed that airport immigration teams are fully aligned with the national security-focused policies set out by Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet, Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police. Emphasis has been placed on preventing foreign nationals who misuse visa exemptions or who may be involved in illicit activities from gaining entry. In particular, officials are watching for individuals engaged in call centre scams, online gambling or money laundering, many of whom allegedly operate illegal businesses in neighbouring countries and use Thailand as a base or transit hub. With land routes now closely monitored, such individuals may shift to air travel in an attempt to circumvent the new restrictions. Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports have been instructed to intensify their observation and screening of high-risk foreign nationals. This includes travellers from neighbouring countries who frequently use visa exemptions improperly, known as “visa runs” or those linked to grey capital groups, some of whom may possess falsified or black-market passports to obscure their identities. Maj. Gen. Cherngron further assured the public that these enhanced security measures will not impact legitimate tourists. He stressed that the strategy aims to welcome visitors who contribute positively to the Thai economy, while strictly barring those who pose a threat to national security. The overarching directive follows the principle: “Good guys in, bad guys out.” Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-06-08
