Backpacker Paradise or Overcrowded Chaos? Pai Struggles with Tourism Boom

[AustinRacing]

Just set up a few pig farms. This will reduce tourist overload from certain origins.

Is this NOT what the Thai Government wanted? free visa, talk of lifting the BAN on ALCOHOL SALES, To get more tourists in and get them happy drunk. then complain that only BAD FARANGS.coming to THAILAND.

Yeah, what they really want is for tourists to come to Thailand, rent a expensive hotel room, only come out of the room to eat an expensive meal, go to a designated ATM machine set up by the Govt, deposit a few thousand baht, then go back to the hotel and back to your room.  Easy Peasy money.

By that picture, you need to be insane to go to that overcrowded swamp and have your anus submerse in that water hanging on a tire tube.

Oh look at what you did, with that. You are not particularly cleaver. On the contrary, the comment demonstrates that you are not familiar with the issue, nor willing to consider the actual facts. BTW the country you think you are laughing about both raises swine and exports pork products. And no they are not the exclusive domain of Christians.

 

On any given day, no more than 84 people of the nationality that you claim are  an overload, are present in Pai. On any given day, none are the subject of an arrest or a court case. On the the other hand there are a number of western people who are. Perhaps if Pai made bathing and being lice free a requirement, it might reduce  tourist overload from certain origins. If a requirement for an education and proper dental hygiene was added, it might further slash numbers.

Looking at that picture I wonder what they do in Thailand. Farangs meeting farangs?

I don't see even one Thai girl on that picture. What's the point of sitting in the water with all those other boys?

I agree. It looks pathetic and stupid.

Definitely not cleaver. 😂😂😂But definitely more knowledgeable than you on the subject matter. Having a few pigs roaming around the streets instead of soi dogs would also limit their numbers. They have a habit of settling in places they like whether it’s legal or not.
