bob smith Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I am talking specifically now about the irate swiss man in phuket and the publics reaction to it. We all know that in any other country this kind of thing would never have even made the local news, but here it’s blown up way out of proportion, and has even crossed the prime ministers desk! It all just seems to me to have gotten way out of hand, nobody was killed or seriously wounded, just a couple of fractured egos. This place beggars belief sometimes, if they hate foreigners so much then why let us in in droves in the first place? just be open about your dislike and cancel all visas problem solved. This has become a witch hunt now and I for one feel bad for the swiss guy. enough is enough. bob. Edited March 4 by bob smith 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please list these Backpacker murders? I know there have been some murders, not aware of any unsolved. Also do remember that backpacker murders happen in many countries, the first one I heard of was the Jennifer Beard backpacker murder in New Zealand in 1969, the muderer was never found. As for the Swiss man, he started this action and so will reap what he sowed, seeing him on TV giving an excuse that he thought they were Chinese, even if they were is that an excuse for acting the way he did? If you have lived in Thailand for a long time, you should know how it works, best not to go looking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well reported on media here and in the UK early last year my mate was shot four times and killed in a road rage incident by an apparently well connected Thai who turned his self in to the Police and admitted his crime....the outcome was that he was given a 4 year prison sentence....reduced to two years as he admitted it....currently to my knowledge he is out on bail pending appeal.....so yes double standards without condoning what this Swiss man has done...he aught to be locked up for a few months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there is more incidents of farangs biting grab drivers, kicking doctors, stabbing wives, punching air hostesses in the head etc than tourists getting assaulted by Thais. nice people the Thais 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you ask? No, but the female Doctor claims he did, he admitted to "slipping" ? yeah right. The dialogue, attitude and tone says it all. I believe you are trolling deliberately being controversial by showing support for someone whose actions were clearly way out of line. This topic is closed. UPDATE.
