Report Nudity Scandal on Thai Beach Fuels Calls for Tourist Behaviour Crackdown
Agree - admittedly this is more serious than the women who sunbathed in a bikini on Sanam Luang (BKK) and Temple grounds in Chiang Mai... but the puritanical hypocrisy is practically Olympic-level at this point, the response is a bit rich when all thats needed is a 'firm word'... "not acceptable - Dress pls, or we arrest". ... Instead, the response and the overly puritanical media outrage attempts to create an international incident when nearby a blind eye is turned to one of the largest prostitution scenes in the world, whole red-light districts - open, advertised, and booming - It's part of Thailands charm.... Yet, the moral outrage only gets wheeled out when there's a chance to publicly shame a foreigner and score purity points. It’s not about upholding Thai values - it’s about theatre. The issue isn’t the act, it’s who is doing it and how visible it is. Thats particularly noticeable when local authorities turn a blind eye to the neon-lit parade of sex tourism night after night, but whip themselves into a frenzy the second someone breaks a dress code in the wrong postcode. It’s performative, selective outrage - and it reeks of a double standard. -

Economy Thai Auto Industry Faces 1.4m Output Slump Amid US Tariffs
It's easier for them to blame Trump's tariffs for the emasculation of the Thai car industry than to tell the truth and admit that it's mainly caused by all the cheap Chinese vehicles being dumped in Thailand. Big Don may be a bit testy, but he's nothing like as sensitive to criticism as Uncle Xi in Beijing. -

Almost Refused Entry at Chiang Mai Airport -Be Warned! - 2nd Visa Exemption
I think you missed the point of most discussions about Thai Immigration. No, I did not, the point of most whinging about IOs is just that, Thai-bashing and whinging, when all that is going on is IOs doing their job of making sure those trying to enter Thailand are legitimate.
