nitehawk56 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I suggest that they get ID numbers or barcodes tattooed on the wrists, and give us all a coloured armband based on our nationality. Perhaps put us in a barbed wire fenced off area for our own protection as well. My same thoughts, treat the tourist like prisoners, and they will come Flocking to Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bender Posted September 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2014 instead of a silly wristband, they should give to each tourist at the airport, a smith & wesson (or a kalachnikov for the russian tourist) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya Lous Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Biting my tongue so hard not to get banned from this forum. I have dismissed the comments before when we talk about the people that run this country are _ _ _ _ _ d. Now I have to think twice. Beef up the police force employ staff that know what they are doing and that have loyalty and commitment to do their job then the criminals may think twice. Don't penalise innocent holiday tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitehawk56 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It never ceases to amaze me what I read on this forum next will be.... "Aliens have landed and were quickly approached by a mob of angry Thais accusing them of taking their jobs and that their spacecraft is on Thai soil and that they should pay rent now or just leave. Said aliens were admitted to Thai owned hospital and were immediately asked for money when huge shiny rocks resembling the largest diamonds ever seen and advanced technology was proffered but this was rejected by the hospital head who said only Thai money is good and they can go back to their own planet and maybe come back next year" Back on their own planet they said "We tried to show them how they can move at the speed of light but all they said was that was a farang business and you should go to farang country for that because farangs cannot do that type of technology in Thailand.

catweazle Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 W t F ??? Now a tsunami of senseless activism rolls over tourists in Thailand. What exactly should these wrist bands achieve? Oh yeah - the victim can be identified within a few seconds while the murderer (without wristband of course, because he is Thai) is on the run... Put the Thais on a leash for crying out loud! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artisi Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wrist bands will only be handed out after the compulsory 2 day OHS lecture, fail the quiz at the completion of the lecture and it's back home on the first available plane. This will ensure only quality tourists will be admitted to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyrosman Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Your on an island, how about putting electronic devices on the workers and wrist bands so usour the tourist can ID them. All others (Thai's), on curfew because they do not have enough money to act like a tourist unless they have robbed you of your cash and meet Russians and let they copy your ATM card. Electronic tracking, are they water proof to 10 meters and what is the deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happysanook Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Apparently because the tourists were out partying is the reason they were murdered. This is stunning. Absolutely stunning that a person in charge of anything, let alone head of tourism, could be so utterly retarded.

arisaje Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Its actually not a bad idea, many resorts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean have similar coloured wrist bands for hotel resorts and all inclusive packages. So that tourists can enter associated resorts, beaches and restaurants etc. RFID chips are so small that people wouldn't even know they are in the wrist bands, but an RFID chip can be tracked to the nearest meter by GPS. Some country have considered RFID chips in kids clothing and school bags so parents can track them at all times. Its a little bit 'Big Brother' style oversight but whats the harm......if it creates a more safer environment. Although i am not sure how many people actually get lost out of the multi-million tourist who come to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert2006 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Absolutely stunning, the thought of tagging every tourist like their animals in a wild animal park. Good idea guys!

louse1953 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 In my youth i used to hire a buddy every night to get me home safely.Some were that happy to get me home,they stayed the whole night. Don't know about id bracelets,but i grab the hotel card,works for me.One time at i arrived late and left my bag at reception and bolted to Nana then Thermae.Stayed a bit longer than planned and forgot where i was staying,3rd time lucky.Embarrassing asking staff if staying or not.When i arrived at Dynasty staff whizzed me straight up stairs.That never happened again.

Tonto21 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wonder what the fine will be for not wearing one? Ha ha, yes indeed. Another money maker for the BiB. Can anyone see anyone wanting to wear a band on their wrist that says....."Hey over here, I just landed"...I think most will feel that the wristband will attract the wrong sort of attention.

lgriceboy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 "Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul said she had approached hotels over the idea of handing out wristbands to help identify tourists that get lost or into trouble." Or make them stand out even more as a target as well as letting assailants know where they are staying and their passport details. Absolute genius. Exactly! This is also an admission of inability to protect tourists without some extreme measure. No one wants to be tagged and tracked like a criminal! The one downfall of the current world is passage of law as a reaction to social media outcry. It's killing mankind and freedom as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DekDaeng Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Tourist - "What's this wrist band for?"
