The way of thinking and doing by the followers of Monotheism(single god religion), often look very similar.

 

When they are Extremists, Tunnel-Visioned, highly Dogmatic, and Dangerously Aggressive.

 

That's what I meant.

 

 

You see what kind of tourist the different scenes attracts, and not to mention, how many destinations have physically changed after the illusion of legal recreational smoking have led to.

 

And if you are not aware, I personally have noticed the flow of dmt and cocain have reached new levels in Thailand.

 

I have the two last months travelled islands south east and on the west coast. 

 

I like to believe you have no idea what's really going on, and how the parry scene have changed. 

 

Things that before was limited to Koh Phangan once or twice a month events, and a few smaller arenas, is now spread out to beaches and Islands which only had a few bars where you could have a joint in peace and quiet, and didn't bother anyone else.

foreigners have to be among the safest and least criminal demographic in Thailand.

 

 

I don't belive that at all. 

 

The most dangerous people I have met here have rarely been Thai.

No, just get the correct tourists..

Mass cheap Charlie tourists in there millions makes TAT believe they are doing a good job.

However, halve the numbers and get the high class tourist spending is the way to go.

You won't see millionaires pissed and fighting in the streets.

But then what will the bars and Go-Go's do, 

Thailand caters to what it's entertainment offers.  Sun, Sea, booze & Sex

 

Plenty of  2 week   Millionaires about

What i see is that fewer and fewer young people are drinking and doing drugs and the bars are generally populated by people in their 30s and up.

 

[Bday Prang]

Obviously they are not placing foreigners "under surveillance" they have neither the time or the resources. What they are indicating , regardless of the translation, is a more visible and pro active presence in certain areas.  Joe bloggs in nakon nowhere can rest easy.  Cannot think why the headline would be worded that way, honest I can't

As you say, It was packed with family groups because Safari World is a family type tourist offering. The mass sexpat market won’t go there nor will the alcoholics. They are all in the go go’s and bars. 

Are you saying most tourists are sexpsts and alcoholics... 555 grow up you not a smart person, I suggest they are the minority... By the way, have you frequented these places, to know... Or just guessing.

You need to read more Thai news, even if only ASEAN Now

(Dimethyltryptamine) and it is becoming more popular than yaba, and even more available in certain areas, together with other club drugs, mdma, lsd, ketamin,,,,

 

You wouldn't notice in the beer bar districts where most likely blue and brown/yellow pills are the most consumed together with blood pressure and cholesterol medication

[ujayujay]

By creating artificial outrage against foreigners, one can easily turn a blind eye to the crime committed by fellow countrymen in one's own country

you have not noticed anything new, you have just noticed.

Cocaine has been readily available across Thailand since  Thaksin and Purachai's war on drugs shut the door on a flourishing MDMA club scene. 

MDMA wasn't entirely banished, it just became more niche and difficult to obtain while cocaine was available, delivered,  with a simple text message.

 

 Cocaine was and remains a staple of Thailand's nightlife. It is everywhere.

 

DMT is a more specialized high and it can be synthesized from any number of common Thai plants. it is generally a homegrown drug like mushrooms,

DMT  is an experience rather than a party drug . The high is brief, internalized, and does not linger, but does incapacitate the user for a few minutes. There are places, especially on the islands that offer dmt, but you wont see it in the clubs or at parties. its a hippy thing.

I can't change your life, but I suggest what you're saying is BS, simply to post a BS story

Think you need to get out more !! Its rare to see or hear of  foreigners with guns shooting the place up or shooting there partners Thai do it every day, you must be  blind its in the news every day, just a stupid post again

[StayinThailand2much]

Those pesky tourists again... If it weren't for the TAT, etc., they could just close the borders shut for good. 😆

[Easterneye]

Shame if they’re going to lob all of us in the same box , as all I ever do is come over with my wife spend a month repairing the family homes and buying food and drink to give out to the locals at the local temples .

Hardly need to be kept under close scrutiny , but then again who can blame them , especially all the drunken/ drugged up morons coming alongside from the UK.

"potentially damages Thailand's reputation"
I have to wonder what the Thai leadership believes Thailand's reputation IS.

[Sir Dude]

Quote

... visitors’ conduct that disrupts social harmony, violates public morals, and potentially damages Thailand's reputation.

 

That sounds like something straight out of the CCP's handbook... opaque and vague. Who exactly decides what "social harmony" or "public morals" are, or is that at the whim of some drunken corrupt local police officer to suit the situation?

It's like in China when they say someone was detained for "overly negative behaviour that disrupts the equalibrium of public order and persecptions"... what?

[Funkymover]

they will be giving us all ankle bracelets soon, so they can track us even more.. and charge us  500 baht for the privilege.

I repeat if you did not understand my point: I have noticed places that was free for these drug tourists, are now their new playground for their drug party holidays. Kids and also elderly who seeks out these arenas, used to stay in jungle parties in Laos, now they seek out new territories in Thailand who now made it possible for the drug business to establish themselves new pristine places. 

 

I have travelled more than 20 years to these places and know what I'm talking about.

Again, you are completely wrong dear Scottie. Most developed nations downplay, or downright hide crime commited by their immigrants. All part of the politically correct to-not-offend policies. In Thailand it is 100% opposite.

And by down playing the crimes just look at the state that Europe is in. It is nothing to be held in high esteem.

[Taboo2]

No problem for me, I respect this country as a guest and obey the rules.  Not sure why some folks are unable to behave, but thanks to the Thai cops for sending a message.

Police to Monitor Foreign Nationals Close....

[oldestswinger]

It's time for all foreigners to closely monitor the national police chief and all his force since the RTP is probably regarded by Thais and foreigners alike as being the most corrupt organisation in Thailand.

[Scouse123]

Cambodia, from what I see, is foreigners generally behaving better than they do in Thailand in the Temple Town of Siem Reap, at least.

 

Atmosphere a lot more chilled.

 

However, there is a growing number that can't fulfil Thailand's extended or long term stay requirements that have moved down there.

 

Those guys don't have a good word about Thailand, but they are mostly underfunded people.

[UbonEagle]

Just a distraction until PM2.5 gets back to top of news story... absolutely nothing will change
