Yeah, let's just boycott Thailand as a tourist destination.

 

That'll be best for the locals.

 

And there's better places to go anyway. No need to deal with all the scams, double pricing, and so on. Maybe go somewhere the people care of the environment.

 

The people working in the tourism industry did great during the lockdown. Let's go another round.

 

Makes you wonder where all the tourism hustlers and hussies would end up? The rice fields would certainly be more interesting 

Disgusting behaviour, I mean come  on Blackface is not  acceptable anymore, apparently

That would really keep me up at night.  I'd lose so much sleep if Thailand was no longer a tourist destination 

Slap on the wrist, 10 baht fine..good to go.

Oh I forgot..he's farang!

To the gallows!

 

Btw...this dumb#### must have known or at least suspecting his name would be on a list.

Trying a different exit point other than Phuket might have been called for.

I'm not saying it would have worked but at least he would have tried

Lets have a poll to see what % of foreigners agree with this.

So, it was a hit n run? 

 

If so, he could be in deep trouble

I guess you're one of those hi-so well off farangy's then...........🧐.........🤭

His wreckless driving was probably just trying to fit in with the locals.

There is no info whatsoever...  no name, no description of the incident etc... 

 

So, its impossible to tell what happened... usually by now we'd be debating all the contradictory and misleading information printed. 

Maybe he changed his sex to German.

Uhm, no. I am just not a tourist, duh!

 

Also, I don't think much of Thailand's tourism industry. 

 

For example, I work in a tourist area, and I was on my way to 7eleven today and I witnessed a tuk tuk driver calling a farang family (with young children), "farang kee nok" as they were walking down the street because they didn't accept his offer.

How many immigration officials needed to change a lightbulb? I mean, to be photographed with an arrested foreigner?

It isnt the shorts that are bad, but they are not very good, it is the legs in them.

The tourists would not have a clue what that meant, probably thought.."Have a nice day"..........🤗

Where is the Russian woman who killed two young people in Rawai in November? The hypocrisy of selective enforcement is laughable…

Why........?  🤔

Why? Well killing two innocent lives….while drunk should have legal consequence…

This article is about a traffic accident with serious injuries. Police are shown with the suspect,and celebrate the arrest. But when a 19 year old woman from Luxembourg and a 21 year old American man are run over and killed in Rawai in November no photos of the driver,arrest,nothing…But CCTV showed the horrific accident ….Laughable.
