So, the visa policies were keeping the nutters out and, since many countries went visa free, they're now flooding into Thailand?

 

I'm not sure exactly what you mean... but one thing is for sure...  the 'nuts' were well and truly out...

In order for the new visa policies to be facilitating an influx of badly behaved tourists, it follows that these people were previously kept at bay by the old visa policies.  I wonder how this was done.

The footage has sparked widespread discussion, with many locals expressing frustration over inappropriate behaviour by some foreign visitors. 

 

Want to see amazing behaviour. Turn on the nightly thai news for a hoot.

Visa policies have no impact on how people behave...

 

If its a 90 day or a 10 year visa - idiots will still do idiotic stuff...

 

In this case, the only idiotic thing this guy did was overstay, I've no idea why... but he was hardly causing trouble....   

 

 

Additionally - I don't think there is an 'influx of badly behaved tourists' there are just 'more tourists'....  and this more tools that are included in the greater numbers... 

Plus the facet that social media now records everything - so it seems like there are more idiots.

Well, you might think that it is not related to visas, but many obviously do.  It's mentioned in most stories of foreigners behaving badly on this forum.  They could be making it up, of course, but, if true, Thai people are clearly concerned that visa-free means more badly behaved tourists.

T'wasnt you then Gottfrid ??....   Promoting farang relations and loving all Thai's ???

 

 

To be fair, there are a fair few 'Thai youths' around.... given all the Thai Knife attacks recently, this is one way to keep them away from you...  let them think you are crazier than they are....  

Yes, this is exactly why I walk around stark bollok naked all the time... never had any problem from these Thai teenagers🙂  Mind you, I do have to be wary of ladyboys and gardeners with shears...

I dont' think the amount of poorly behaved tourists is related specifically visas... i.e. a 90visa vs a 10 year visa... etc

 

But, I think your comment on 'visa free entry' is spot on...    as that significantly increases tourist / visitor numbers...  which is exactly what Thailand wanted....

 

... and yes...  I think that means far more poorly behaved 'visa free' entrants than before - i.e. Chinese etc....   I think many are actually using that to work here.... 

 

As far as poorly behaved Westen toursts - more Russians due to geopoltics simply means more badly behaved Russians than before.....

 

And the continued Visa Free entry those from many other Western nations just means the same amount of dyck-heads misbehaving as before - but social media is a lot more prevalent so their antics are in the media spotlight more often.

He may have needed assistance - perhaps used his dictaphone... 

 

Very plausible, though where did he keep his phone..?

There are growing concerns that recent policies may be contributing to an increase in such incidents

TAT luring the nutters from around the world, so that they can keep on boasting about tourist numbers increasing.

However, concerns remain about whether the enforcement of public decency laws is sufficiently strict, particularly when it comes to cases of indecent exposure or violent behaviour.

 

Indeed, I'm seeing prostitutes daily walking the streets or occupying certain  bar areas, disgusting behaviours.

They could walk up to him and ask if needed help

99% sure he has some kind of problem and needed help.

Instead they prioritize video and posting.....

Maybe the old guy was sleepwalking trying to find his bathroom. I don't care if he was Thai or foreigner it takes balls to walk naked out in public. He might also be prode of his package...Just showing off. 😁

Phuket authorities have been stepping up law enforcement efforts, particularly in cases of traffic violations, such as unlicensed motorbike riding and failure to wear helmets.

Well, he did have a little helmet.

Unless he had money or card in his hand, he couldn't have been planning to buy much in the convenience store...No pockets. 😀
