Plenty of quality tourists from these countries already; guys visiting the skytrain escalators in Bangkok, and girls mostly hanging out at the beach in Pattaya and Phuket... 😆

Truly do have nutters in charge. 

 

Who the hell on this planet has an open border like this ?

I thought Thailand wanted to be the hub for wealthy , well healed tourists ? 

I'm a LOS regular from Ethiopia, and medical tourism is the major reason for thousands of well-off Ethiopians. I know it's just one country but you get the gist.

Nigeria should be the #1 country in the world to NOT give visas to.

 

Drug busts involving foreigners....Seem to involve Nigerians a very large % of the time....

I'd love to know who thinks bringing in Africans will boost Thailand. One of the things I like about thailand is the very low percentage of them here.
