But wouldn't that mean cracking down on the Chinese tourist triads and the Russian tourist mafias as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Zioner Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Allways thought they should reinstate the Thang Lor pee test and blue pill body search, to save Thai tourism. Right now I am in Batu Ferringhi, and enjoy tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

node Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 If they really want to do this, do not dress in brown or uniform, go on Soi 3 outside Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok. See what a metered taxi wants for a 5 mins trip, and put tickets on them all. I reckon they will not need the Chinese's or Russians to fill the Treasury.
