Who Is Ruining Thailands Image?

[whistleblower]

With the recent stories about the Rossetta stone video, the Buddha toilets in Holland, The Buddha dog accessories and the very recent video of tourists tasting Durian and spitting it out and laughing, The Thai Government are up in arms complaining to Embassies about Nations trying to tarnish the image of Thailand. As we all know the Govt. projects Thailand as a peaceful, cultured and civilised country.

Maybe they should clean house at home before accusing others?

Who Is Ruining Thailands Image?

Me.....cos I keep posting positive stories. That annoys a certain contingent. Watch my concerned face.

Rather embarrassing video. In a civilized country the brown shirt would be terminated for instigating the fight.

Anyway, I much prefer the ladyboy and bargirl fights from Pattaya. They have more gritty action, hair pulling and rending of garments.

I often wonder if any of the bargirls when they get really angry yank the hairpieces off of some of the old guys in bars.

That's a pretty good keystone cop fight. One cop gets in a fight with a citizen, the other cop tries (unsuccessfully) to break it up, and gets a few kicks in too when the guy is down. In most countries, the citizen gets taken to the ground in 1-2 moves - knee lock to the neck while cuffed, and is in the back of the cop car in 30 seconds. And, as correctly stated, the one cop gets investigated by internal affairs, and surely fired, and the other one gets disciplinary actions of some sort.

There were no cops mentioned in the article and I didn't see any in the video.

No prizes for camera work

what about the video of 50 bargirls diving to the ground screaming and shouting when a tourist threw money in front of them.

Reminded me of seagulls attacking a bag of chips, total chaos.

mind you all were semi naked in public, but i did not really notice as an evil tourist nearby was spitty out his durian.

Guess I've been watching too many movies.

What image, exactly? The rest of the world sees Thailand just as the spoofs show it.

I guess the "Even I got Laid in Thailand" T-shirts don't boost the image,

along with the "No Money No Honey" one's. Some wit going on there, eh?

If that had been my video work I would still be hiding in shame, not posting to YouTube.

Thailand is going to the dogs
