Bender Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 in this country, certainly the murderers did pay a huge amount of money to the police, to found some burmese scapegoat. How these murderer will pay them? Easy start charging an entrance fee. In others terms, it will be the tourists who will pay for bailing out the thai mafia .... real local scum!

chooka Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Unbelievable-now trying to "cash-in" on tragedy Seems to be exactly what they are doing. They don't give a damn about the incident as can be seen by the circus they just see a way to cash in on it and make as much money as they can. I bet the rich families on the island are estatic at the thought of becoming even richer off the back of the deaths of tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Stranger Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I wanted to post earlier but I had to first stop laughing..... This is almost as funny as banning alcohol ads and midnight cutoff for sudds. Is there that much to do their to warrant this, as I cannot see the divers shelling out since they're not exactly affluent tourists? I could be wrong on that last part. You got to love their optimism. Who can keep track of all of these announcements then retractions?

Friendly Stranger Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So this mean this island will make money because there has been a murder there....How long will it take for the surrounding islands to understand what they have to do so that they can also ask a fee to the visitors? And I feel sooooo bad for the family and friends of the murdered young people there when they see this. This is so true. Man, if they start doing this then the other ASEAN members will cream them...

Tham1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Can someone please have a word with these people, honestly,,, Investing the money themselves will bring in more tourists as the safety of the island will be improved, therefore it will pay for itself. It makes absolutely no sense at all to ask the tourists themselves to pay for their own protection when this is something that the island should be doing anyway. Unless of course it's just another Thai scam aimed at parting tourists with there hard earned cash. In every country you pay big taxes but in thailand you don't. Tourists benefit by not pay to much expense for good and services on the island and in thailand. So if tourists want more protection they should pay. Its simple. Thais don't need the protection. You really don't see the big issue here do you? People will not go somewhere that is unsafe and corrupt and as for your statement that Thailand is a cheap destination that is fast becoming a fiction. "If tourists want protection they should pay" = are you really that stupid? Have you ever traveled anywhere outside your miserable area? I am speechless at the stupidity and lack of intellect of so many of your people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beng Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The fee will disappear in the local mafias pockets. But only if there are people who are willing to pay. I hope this will lead to even fewer arrivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 "The 10% you say in GDP we can do without more then the tourists can do without Thailand. " Tell that to Gen. Prayuth Well we have Vietnam and on the other side, south america, Caribia and Polynesia. Go to one of them then. Why are you on a Website about thailand? goto polynesiavisa.com and complain about polynesia. How dare you sign up on a US based website & within half a day tell it's members to go elsewhere. Your undeserved arrogance disgusts me. Your comments all stink in typical thai style 'If you don't like it.. go home" One day you may be capable of realising just how racist your comments are & that racism has no place in the civillised world which 'your' country may or may not one day decide to become a part of. Your problems stem from your brainwashing which began when you entered the thai 'education' system as a child & the fact that you were too young to remember does not excuse your continued ignorance. My personal opinion is that you are beyond hope. Which US based website are you talking about. If it is Thai VIsa it is not a US based website.

I am speechless at the stupidity and lack of intellect of so many of your people. Yeah.... Thais don't need protection... Unless they are committing crimes against Farang that urgently need covering up... Then they need protection from corrupt police to find someone else to take the blame... Usually takes around three weeks to build up a case or alibi or to give the offending party just enough time to get away/raise 'police dinner money' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Thea01 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Are these clowns fair dinkum. Of course they are, and it will be the farang price. Another attempt to screw us foreigners. The next thing they'll want is for all tourists to pay a deposit to come to Thailand and then find a way not to refund it. Do these idiots realise you can only milk the cash cow so much before the goose that laid the golden egg will find another nesting place. Come on General, pull these clowns into line and tell them to engage their brains before opening their mouths. OOPS, in this case, it looks like you would have to send out a search party to locate the brains, as it is obvious they do not have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense on all points. You set yourself up as a tourist destination then you are obliged to protect tourists. Most taxes come from indirect taxation and we all pay those. Tell the Thais, robbed, assaulted, raped and murdered that they don't need protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
