In fact, I fear it will increase as more people come and want to release all that pent up frustration over the past 2 years.

Popular Post BangkokReady Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hopefully this isn't going to be a common thing as tourists slowly start to return to Thailand. I can see why some Thais are envious and resentful of foreign people whom they perceive as having weathered covid a lot better than them financially, but physical attacks are never OK. They really need to turn their anger towards the people that actually caused their problems. (Obviously this is precisely why foreigners are blamed for covid.) 21 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mike1967 Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 The authorities threaten people with 2 years in jail for 'stepping out of line' on Songkran.

Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 The resort town of Pattaya...more like a modern version of Sodom or Gamorrah. The odd alcohol fueled fight with the local bouncers should be expected and ignored. I knew some bouncers a long time ago and they looked forward to the Friday or Saturday night fracas so that they could build their reputations amongst their peers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheScience Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 Pattaya is a very dangerous place. In lesser years I'd lived there mostly in low season 2001-8 a heyday for USD GBP. It's full of dangerous vice, misery and thuggery. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Classic Ray Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 If there was a serious intent to improve they would start training and licensing the bouncers as they do in the UK, where they can’t work without it. Could do it with the police as well. CCTV reveals many of their sins. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
