Thailand and foreign embassies prepare for influx of foreign criminals in 22/23 High Season

[daveAustin]

Best clean up your own backyard first and also appreciate the tourists that do visit. Jeez!

[thailand49]

Police talking quality when they should think about looking in the mirror and fix their in-house! 

Criminals come here because chances of the police doing their job is slim and none!  

You notice countries they in the past present gone over backwards to bring them over aren't jumping on to their request.

They couldn't solve a case if it was stirring right at them!

Have the RTP spoken with the TAT about this? I see a new advertising campaign in the making.

And put 'em up against it and ... Etc etc etc.

 

But what about all the European countries (as that's what they seem to be targeting) harbouring known and wanted Thais, eg Boss? No hurry to send him back is there?

[crazykopite]

Maybe they should make sure that immigration is whiter than white and no big fat brown envelopes being passed under the table besides that quality tourists don’t waste there time coming to a country with so many restrictions and silly laws 

[loveushorttime]

Good to see Australia is not on the list. We have enough convicts already. We need to start exporting them.

[CANSIAM]

Swiping passports on arrival, should be all there in front of them with that 'Interpol thing' stop em right at the podium.............. 

[TTSIssues]

Maybe they should stop fleecing tourists with made up rules about riding scooters and then more quality tourists would come ! 

[klauskunkel]

Ho, ho, ho, the seasonal criminals are coming...

Let's see what they bring: suntan lotion, bail money, swim wear, bribes..., but one things for sure: can't hide at mom's house, that's Thai criminals only.

[Reigntax]

Because the RTP don’t want any competition?

You forgot Indian as well. One of the most wanted gangsters in the world is an Indian.

[Boyn]

Gotta be easier countries to hide out in ,South America maybe perhaps we should start a survey.

[Moon6966]

Half of the Thai police should not be in the force then... 

[Jimbo2014]

Its a good thing high quality tourist destinations like Pattaya are on offer then.  Keep the criminals and low life's away.  ????

[Guderian]

RTP want quality tourists not criminals in 22/23 high season

 

That's the same as the Mafia moaning that the people they shake down for a living are too trashy, lol!

[biggles45]

Yes understandable really.  They don't like competition! 

[SymS]

But what about high-quality criminals though? Do they get a pass? ????

[Photoguy21]

I agree but having said that the hairdresser that stabbed a person to death is out on bail. It makes no sense to let someone who has committed murder out on bail. If there is a good reason please let me know, I would be very interested to hear what the reason it.

Quality tourist, you mean Nerds? It's like a box of chocolates you never know what kind you will get.

[ozz1]

Time to get some more BMW smart cars that will get them

[spidermike007]

They don't want foreign criminals, they want quality tourists, said a spokesman.

 

How does one respond to a statement like this one? Of course they want quality tourists, and not criminals. Every police department wants the same thing, as does every population. But saying such a thing only betrays their extreme lack of understanding, sophistication and proper training. It is not up to them to choose which tourists come to Thailand. It is up to them to fight crime, and apprehend criminals. Perhaps they have gotten so far from their mission, that they do not see this clearly, anymore.

Here we go again... Tourists = potential criminals who come here to 'hide'. - There's two easy solutions, with a similar outcome, i.e. 'no tourism income':

1. Seal the border.

2. Ask every tourist for a police report.

Do it like America. Add some questions to the immigration form to tick to be presented on arrival.

 

Here are some examples.

• Are you a member of a drugs cartel or any form of mafia or crime syndicate?
• Are you or have you ever been a drug abuser or addict?
• If not, do you plan to become one while you are here?
• Did you earn your money legally and pay taxes?
• Are you coming to the Thailand to engage with prostitution or unlawful commercialized vice?
• Does your wife know you are here?
• Do you seek to engage in espionage, sabotage, export control violations or any other illegal activity in Thailand?
• Are you involved in corruption?
• If so what is the level of your average bribery payment at the moment?
• Are you a member of a terrorist organization?
• Have you ever participated in genocide?
• Have you ever been directly involved in the coercive transplantation of human organs or bodily tissue?
• Have you ever committed torture (other than on a willing sexual partner)?
• Have you ever engaged in the recruitment or the use of child soldiers?
• Are you coming to the Thailand to practice polygamy?
• Are you a member of the Communist party?
• Are you a criminal seeking to hide from justice?
• Do you promise to tell the truth whenever we ask you a question?
• Are you Russian?

 

Answer any incorrectly then you refuse entry. 

 

Simple

Tourists in Thailand would like quality police.
