Foreign Tourist Assaults Bar Staff & Women in Pattaya Soi 6, Knocked Down in Viral Brawl
It makes Thailand and Thai people look bad. Not just the street that it happened on. People won't even remember exactly where it took place. -

So, how do you think your personal experience is relevant when talking about Thailand or Thai people as a whole? You seem to be disagreeing with what is being discussed, but your example does not support any kind of disagreement, since you personally not experiencing something does not mean it doesn't happen. You don't need to be sad, just word your answer in a way that makes the point you are making clearer. And think about what the original post was that you are replying to. I was talking about people perceiving Thai people being violent as not being an issue, but foreign people being violent something very bad, not whether or not Thai people are ever violent, so your personal experiences don't really apply. E.g. "Thai people may be drunk, violent, aggressive, etc., sometimes, but personally I have never had a problem with any Thai person. Even when they jump the queue in front of me, I tell them to get to the back of the line, and they do so." - This still doesn't really apply to what I wrote, as that was a matter of perception, but it makes it a little more relevant. I would certainly agree that Thai people are less likely to be confrontational than a Westerner. -

80,000 Indonesians Working Illegally in Cambodia, Minister Warns
ANTARA A growing number of Indonesians—estimated at over 80,000—are working illegally in Cambodia, many lured into online scams and gambling operations, Indonesia's Minister for the Protection of Migrant Workers has revealed. Speaking on Tuesday in Semarang, Central Java, Abdul Kadir Karding said the workers are classified as illegal due to the absence of a formal labour agreement between Indonesia and Cambodia. “All of these migrant workers are considered illegal,” he said. “We’ve seen a sharp rise in young Indonesians risking unsafe and unregulated employment abroad.” The situation is particularly concerning as many of these workers are involved in illegal online industries. “Their occupations vary,” Karding noted. “Some work in restaurants, but most are tied to online gambling and scamming syndicates.” This marks a shift from traditional destinations for Indonesian migrant workers, such as Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, with Cambodia and Myanmar now emerging as hotspots for illicit labour activity. The minister also confirmed his office is investigating the reported death of an Indonesian worker in Cambodia. “We are trying to identify the victim, but illegal migration leaves us with no official records,” he said. In response, the Indonesian government has begun cracking down on rogue recruitment agencies. “We’ve temporarily closed three illegal placement firms to stem the flow of undocumented workers,” Karding announced. The warning highlights a growing regional concern over human trafficking and labour exploitation in Southeast Asia’s shadow economy. Indonesian authorities are urging citizens to avoid unauthorised overseas job offers and seek legal channels instead. With no bilateral framework in place between Jakarta and Phnom Penh, efforts to protect these vulnerable workers remain limited. The ministry has vowed to intensify public education and enforcement to prevent further tragedies. As the trend continues, calls are mounting for formal agreements and regional cooperation to address the root causes of illegal migration and cross-border exploitation. -2025-04-17
