Thailand should ban single guys, because we all know single guys are trouble, and if they travel together even a better reasons to ban them entrence ;-)

Didn't that German guy shoot his thai wife a couple of weeks ago, being married definitely doesn't mean a sound mind

Australian bikers? Thai Hells Angels dominated by Australian bikers?

There have been multiple serious legal incidents involving Australian bikers in Thailand, including:

• murder

• assault

• drug trafficking

• extortion

• weapons possession

• immigration offences

Well, I didnt believe you would take it seriously but, hell yeah, quite a few thai addicted souls are trouble for sure, but most of us, are okay. A bit lunatics, but no harm in being lunatics alone.

Just ban any male or female human who isn't Thai. Nobody will even notice.

FFS, if Thailand starts banning people entry based on tattoos, we might as well expand the list to make it more effective.

NO ENTRY:

1. GITS

2. MUGS

3. MUPPETS

4. TOSSERS

5. BELL ENDS

6. PLONKERS

7. NUMPTIES

Done. Only snag is that would probably also wipe out two thirds of the AN forum.

But they can carry on remotely.

SS? I'm having trouble working that one out. Can you offer any hints?

I say Thailand should ban entry to anyone whose forum username results in the initials GG, HF, BS, and KSM. Others can add to the list as they see fit.

What about anyone whose name rhymes with pagoda?

Not all people in the news for causing trouble have tattoos.

95% of guys with tattoos don't cause any trouble.

It's a kind of racism / stigma that you need to let go of.

Many girls in Pattaya have tattoos. It's a cultural thing.

Many of them probably like falangs with tattoos because they think it's cool.

Leave it alone.

I was 17, just started skydiving, so I'm quite happy I didn't make more tatts.

My father was not especially proud of me for that one when he found out one year later or so

That's right.

It's a modern trend.

If you dont have them it's a sign that you're OLD and Old-fashioned.

Guys with tattoos are getting laid more easily in Thailand.

If we banned all Brits, Pattaya news would dwindle to a standstill.

David Beckham syndrome ? or who was the first super famous who had tattoos who influenced every other copy cat?

When I did mine, it was not normal among young Norwegians, and something you associated with sailors, drunk, army, criminals, or outsiders. I just came along with a colleque who was doing some ink on his tattoos and since I didnt had to driving license at the time, I shared a ride with him. I saw a drawing which I improved to fit my skydiving interest, and I paid him with a bottle of Spanish grape 96% booze I was selling at the time to get enough money to skydive. So maybe I was a bit criminal to for the time being.

Tatts were rare where rare when I was 25yo. Now it is so common not getting them makes you uncommon. Lots more parlours and lots of celebs getting them.

Checked with AI my claim David Beckham started a trend for ordinary people, and here is the answer, and he have to take some blaim for the clean cut young sporty profiles contributing to the trend for Normal kids !

Short answer: No — tattoos were already popular before him. But David Beckham played a huge role in making tattoos fashionable and mainstream, especially for athletes and men in the early 2000s.

Tattoos existed long before Beckham

Tattoos were common in many groups before Beckham became famous:

• Sailors and military personnel (since the 1800s)

• Motorcycle clubs

• Punk and rock musicians in the 1970s–80s

• Celebrities like Cher, Tommy Lee, and Dennis Rodman

But for decades tattoos were still widely seen as rebellious or subculture-only.

What Beckham changed

When Beckham became a global star playing for Manchester United and later Real Madrid, something new happened.

He was:

• A clean-cut mainstream sports hero

• A fashion icon

• Married to pop star Victoria Beckham

Yet he had large visible tattoos, including:

• full sleeve tattoos

• back angel wings

• religious imagery

• family names

This helped shift tattoos from “biker or criminal culture” → “stylish personal expression.”

The timing mattered

Beckham’s rise (late 1990s–2000s) coincided with:

• the explosion of celebrity culture

• global sports marketing

• social media and fashion magazines

Young men started copying his sleeve style, which tattoo artists say helped spark the modern sleeve trend.

It was blamed on low-class Brit tourists but they maynot have been the only ones.

Pay to mark a bargirl for life. Bargirls were Thai before tattoos. Now, too many look like cheap whores.

And what will they tell their grandchildren?

Yes, very easy. That will be the tatts. Bit of a giveaway.
