englishoak Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The logic on this forum amazes me. The sad story of the Koh Tao murders are remembered as if martial law is a complete failure. I say how many terrorist attacks have there been in the capital of Thailand since martial law? None. Martial law was implemented because General Prayuth was sick of seeing innocent blood spilt by the red terrorists. It was not implemented in late May because of tourists getting murdered or raped. Was it? It was to stop the senseless killings by red shirts. It worked and my golly gee it worked well. 10/10 for the Good General on that one. Complete success. But lets pretend ( a bit of red shirt "make believe" if you will) martial law was implemented to protect tourists. Below is a list of a few crimes committed under a democratically elected government like; Two female tourists die mysteriously at same Koh Phi Phi resort Fishermen find body of murdered British tourist Pirates attack, kills British yachtie near Koh Dong Thai man arrested, charged with murdering tourists Two female tourists shot dead on Thailand resort beach Murder in Thailand: another tourist shot dead Paradise lost: Another tourist raped at Thailand resort island Increasing violence against tourists threatens Thailand's tourism industry A Swiss woman was found dead on a beach in Krabi where she may have been strangled and robbed. Edith Jungen, believed to be in her 30s, was found in shallow water on Noppharat Beach in Tambon Ao Nang in Krabi's Muang district. German woman was killed during a full moon party on a beach in southern Thailand. Two young female tourists were murdered on the beach in Pattaya. Two Thai men were convicted of raping and killing 21-year-old British tourist Katherine Horton on Koh Samui. The next day a Swedish woman who was visiting Thailand with her husband and children, was also raped on Koh Samui. So through deductive reasoning tourists are safer under martial law according to the frequency of murders and rapes (or the lack there of) since they have implemented it when comparing it to a democratically elected government. That is PTP logic right there. I for one feel a lot safer walking the streets of Bangkok knowing I can walk freely anywhere and not be a casualty of a red terrorist attack. Under martial law and under a democratically elected government the crimes against tourists go unabated. That won't change. Great post. Unfortunately you are throwing pearls of wisdom at swine. I have read the first 50 posts and yours was the first one to make sense. I was thinking they could offer a tour of mindless uninformed prejudiced posters with Thai Visa being the star attraction. Could add in sore losers as a side attraction. 'I have read the first 50 posts and yours was the first one I agreed with' might be a better way of putting it... Ohh look the 3 Whiny apologist stooges in one thread quote .... Thawatchai said that martial law is beneficial to tourism, because it ensures that foreign tourists can be safe 24 hours a day. "We want the tourists to be confident that they can travel in Thailand both day and night with safety at all times," Thawatchai said, adding that he hopes to promote this concept by creating a "buzz" on social media.

When you talk about pluriassassins monsters ultracorrupt you mean your heroes the yellow shirts who have massacred innocents , lynched people who tried to vote, stole, bribed etc... Not a single innocent has ever been attacked by a Red Shirt and even less a tourist. Instead the pluriassassins corrupt yellow shirts have killed dozens and lynched people trying to go to the airport. You forgot to mention the International journalists killed without even an investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucpez Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Are they serious?? Tourists are no safer here now than before martial law? In fact many cannot get travel insurance to a place under martial law. Exactly! Please somebody inform TAT that travel insurancies di not cover countries under martial law !!! Maybe TAT can come up with its own insurance plan, if somebody trusts them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvabc Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Great idea. But need to add tourist murder tourism. Visit the beaches on Koh Tao and Koh Samui where David and Hannah, Nick Pearson and Katherine Horton were murdered, the guest house in Chiang Mai where Kirsty Jones was raped and murdered probably by a policemen, the streets in Kanchanaburi and Pai where Vanessa Ascott and Leo del Pinto were murdered by policemen. Take home souvenir pictures of the bloodied corpses leaked by police and finish up with a pep talk about police integrity and efforts to protect foreign tourists at National Police HQ. This will be a more gripping tour than Madame Tussaud's lame effort in Siam Paragon. Add to the list my mate Steven Shot 6 times in Ban Pai, Khon Kaen 2011 while being forced to sign some documents by his wife and her pals RTP involved in the murder. Never hit the MSM.

Sure now the tourist and expat can freely walk around without fear of getting caught up in a political disturbance but you are no safer from the types of crimes that have continually been perpetrated against farangs than before the coup. If you think the general staged a coup because he was sick of seeing innocent blood spilled by "red terrorists" then you are indeed quite naive about politics in Thailand. If you think things will really change for the better, I am looking forward to your comments when and IF the general returns Thailand to democracy. Let's see what has changed in three years. I predict nothing will have changed. It will be the same as it was before this coup, the last coup, and the ones that preceded those coups. Dream on!!!!

You really are a source of amusement....keep on making excuses all you like but the buck stops at the top as you have been so keen to point out in the past. They are ruining tourism all on their own with constant stupid headlines and dumb gimmicks that really are just too stupid and thoughtless to make up. You do know a high % of insurance travel policies dont cover places under martial law right ? You do know Martial Law MEANS theres a safety issue by its very existence right ? You do know tourists do like to be safe and be insured when on holiday right ? You do know that tourists have a choice where they go right ? You do know trying to justify or god forbid defend this idea makes you look real silly, I worry for you sometimes, i really do ... The responsibility of tourism is all on Thailand and Thailand alone. If they ruin it itll be all home grown and self inflicted, nothing to do with anyone else. To even try to spin TATs dumbest tourist attraction idea this year into something political yet again about sums you up. Its very hard not to be condescending when you spend half a post in Idol worship or making pitiful excuses for someone.. im not even going to waste my time, besides I dont have a sick bag large enough.

Not being able to get health insurance has nothing to do at all with being safe. Anyway insurance can still be obtained it just can cost a little more. I guess nothing to loose for TAT since anyone pout off by scare mongering about Thailand probably wont come. How ,much damage to tourist industry have red shirts mayhem,]killings and rest done and also all nasty scams which at least the junta is trying to do something about.
