If ever there is a more stupid insane looking story to broadcast to the world these idiots will find it ????

More quality tourists!

Not sure what the problem is here tbh. Yes the Iranian government is very authoritarian etc and no different to China. And money is the driver and who can blame them just look at the state of the worlds economies right now , many are struggling.  At least Thailand deport their undesirables and have a half decent immigration services and protections.  There are plenty of well off Iranians I suspect who struggle to go to countries in the west to spend their money.  But I suppose they should have a higher moral standard and just accept an influx of illegal immigration , with people with no identification on a daily basis and then give them right of stay and maybe even a passport with free cash and housing.

A man thought to be Iranian has had both legs blown off after attempting to throw a bomb at police in the Thai capital, Bangkok, officials say.

Two other explosions were reported in the same busy commercial district of the city, injuring four other people.

Police said one blast took place at the house the injured man rented with other Iranians. One of those men also threw a bomb at a taxi in the capital.   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-17026007

I will be interested to see Iranian women discard headscarves upon arrival, change into jeans and a t-shirt and drink wine. Iran was a very westernized country at one time.

There's nothing more deserving than having a close trade and security relationship with a country that sells drones to Russia so it can kill Ukrainian civilians, destroy infrastructure, power and water facilities. 

Remembering that Thailand became part of the Axis alliance in WW2 as a result of its surrender to the Japanese, no surprise. 

[MrJ2U]

Hopefully immigration will include a bar of soap and directions on how to use it. 

[ChrisY1]

Shaking hands with the devil' ambassador! Selling suicide drones to Russia to enable thousands of innocents to be slaughtered is a country that should be well avoided!

However...Thailand has no ethics and will likely strike a rice deal or something stupid!

What next will we be enlightened to?

Your selling arms bit is a little narrow minded. All arms are somewhat related to killing humans. Most developed countries rely heavily on the income coming from selling their weapons. It’s a bit like blaming the ,say, Colt company for the murder of people. 

[BritScot]

Time the West started sanctioning Thailand! This action is diabolical.  Thailand is now tard with the same brush (Iranian government sponsored terrorism) and should now be treated as such. Enjoy the increase in terrorism. What idiots.

Indeed.... I suspect they will invite members of the KKK and any remaining Al-Qaeda members. Has North Korea been courted yet?

The fertilizers are made from bonemeal.

Russia-China-Iran-Burma etc etc. I would expect nothing less of the low lives that run this country to buddy up with these stalwarts. Sad.

I have it on good authority that Kim Jong Un is not that enthusiastic about shrimp buffets.

 

A large plate of chocolate eclairs washed down with a fine cognac may influence him on the other hand.

as pointed out, that bomb thing in Bangkok was in 2012. I was living down the street from where it happened.

I go out of my way to meet Iranian tourists when they come here (I'm a white American). If I may generalize, they are mostly thoughtful, gracious people. That is part of their culture. To cast the entire country as a band of devils is quite frankly, stupid. Make your hate person to person if you must hate
