It's like the Wild West out there!

[BarBoy]

With thailand flinging it's borders wide open to all and sundry it's going to be very interesting indeed to see what happens and how long it lasts..

 

Expect more foreigners behaving badly stories and negative portrayals on the TV because what do you expect? When you let everybody into the country without proper screening then you are bound to let in a few bad apples...

 

When you dance with the devil, don't complain when your bum gets burned!

Oh, bob, you’ve absolutely smashed it out of the park again there, mate! Thailand flinging its borders open is clearly the final curtain and curse for this once-peaceful, idyllic and harmonious kingdom. Who needs proper screening of visitors when we can just sit back and wait for the inevitable tsunami of bad apples to roll in? I’m already bracing myself for AN’s next breaking stories: foreigners stealing tuk-tuks in broad daylight, turning pristine beaches into landfill sites, and staging riots in 7-Eleven over the last ham-and-cheese toasty. Absolute pandemonium, I tell you now!

 

But don’t worry about me, mate. My Thai wife’s way ahead of the curve on this one. She’s already called an emergency village meeting with the elders, personally bankrolled a nationwide “Foreigner Awareness Task Force,” and commissioned a team of elite private investigators to sniff out any potential “bad apples” the moment they step off that plane. And that’s just Phase One. Phase Two? A state-of-the-art moat surrounding our big house, teeming with crocodiles that would make a Jurassic Park T-Rex look like a goldfish. She’s even ordered a fleet of drones for aerial surveillance, because let’s face it, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

 

You’re absolutely right, bob, when you dance with those infidel devils, your bum will get scorched. But fear not, my wife’s already taken it one step further. She’s secured a private militia (fully armed, naturally), should the situation deteriorate beyond control. Between the moat, the crocs, and the armed guards, I’m confident we’re more prepared now than ever. Somebody’s got to be ready when the bad apples start rolling in and let God have mercy on their souls.

 

It’s going to be a bloody “Good Guys In, Bad Guys Out” campaign on steroids, the scale and likes of which the world has never seen before!

Couldn't they have just built a great big beautiful fence - I am sure Mexico or someone would pay...

We're not even back to 2019 tourism numbers: 35 million in 2024  --  39.92 million in 2019

 

Hardly borders being flung wide open.

Again, bob, you need not worry one bit mate about any of those yobs, hoolies, and scrotes destroying our peace and prosperity here in the land of joyous sanctuary because, and I assure you, when my wife opens up that giant can of Thai homegrown whoop arse on those chancers, they will be running back to the airport begging for the next flight ticket out faster than you can say "ladyboy".

Ah, mate, now that’s the kind of outside-the-box thinking we need! A great big beautiful fence, why didn’t we think of that? And you’re absolutely right, surely some other unsuspecting SE Asian country would happily foot the bill. After all, if it works elsewhere, why not here?

 

Of course, my wife would probably insist on taking the whole project into her own hands. She’d hire a team of the best engineers this side of the pacific, get it constructed in record time, and have it gold-engraved with images of elephants and tigers just to give it that proper Thai flair. Oh, and naturally, she’d have her name mounted on it; something like, “The Great Wall of Pornthip” because, when it comes to saving the Kingdom, she’d want everyone to know who to thank.

 

But hey, why stop at a fence right bruv? I'll suggest she throw in a high-tech surveillance system, complete with AI drones and automated laser turrets, just to make sure no bad apples even think about trying to climb over. Let’s face it, mate, the only thing standing between Thailand and total chaos is my wife’s unmatched generosity and visionary leadership.

Bob, When was the last time thailand properly screened visa exempt and tourist visa arrivals?  You made it in so why are you complaining about others?

Because "Those People" are coming in droves. It is no longer safe for those hanging out with their bar boys.

Not sure who "those people" are but they are basically the same quality that have always come and hung out in those areas
