NaaKap Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Oh Well TAT did say they wanted only rich tourists ???? Make life miserable for the dirty westerners and European falangs that have been supporting the economy to the tune of billions of baht per year. I appreciate covid has changed things a lot But Thailand was always a fun place, Not too dangerous,. Prices relatively cheap and not too many scum like this lurking around soy 11. TAT's attitude to us has imho turned many regulars away for life. Retirees begin to look elsewhere and the place starts to go downhill with the scum filling the void. Oh how I wish it was 15 - 20 years ago. The only silver lining is another Scumbag bites the dust ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they should stop letting "'em" in, as in folks from Africa -- or just Blacks? That's surely not what you mean, is it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
