pinkpanther99 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 How can the govt say that when they probably never asked any foreigners for their opinions. Give them a Thai Visa user name so they can find out what foreigners in Thailand really think of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelplatoon Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well, if the NCPO says so, it must be true. This 24.00 closing rule is doing great marketing for visiting tourists looking for a good time, I am sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched on people who really know what's going on, is a far more accurate description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunla Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The bomb attack here made me feel very sorrowful, but it did not make me feel unsafe in my daily tourist life. Also it is clear to me that the Royal Thai Police have really worked very hard to catch some of the bomb-makers, in short time. This has boosted my confidence a great deal. Bad things happen allover the world, and terrorists have bombed many other popular tourist nations. I think a balanced perspective is essential for all travellers, rare events should be weighed against how much they enjoy visiting tourist destinations in Thailand or anywhere else. Most people will probably think that a holiday in Thailand is well worth the very low risk of being caught up the extremely rare acts of terrorism, and they should instead focus on their own personal travel preparations to ensure they are healthy on the trip, and able to enjoy their holiday experience to the full.

Halion Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 These peacocks can say what they want,however the facts remain that foreign confidence in Thailand is eroding significantly due to the inability of this government to keep its manifesto pledges. Little has changed and several things are arguably worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little has changed and several things are arguably worse While military government surely doesn't help for foreign confidence, it helps that there are no mass demonstrations with shootings on Bangkoks streets. That is definitely better. Also corruption is reduced. But I agree too little has changed, but I don't see anything that is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lildragon Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yes. International faith in the laughing stock that is the Thai police/security forces is sky rocketing. All of their recent gaffs had family in the UK asking me about it. The.authorities are completely self unaware or don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt there are any 'ill-infrormed' foreigners here who can't read or write. Foreigners are typically better educated. In reference to Thailand 'waking up fast' because there are great alternative tourist destinations, I think they are asleep at the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I do wonder whether those bright sparks who run the True programming department will ever recognise the logic in suspending - for the 30 minutes, or so, that it takes to instil rank disinterest in a largely unenthusiastic and non-captive audience - the film being shown on the English-speaking channel that these pronouncements regularly interrupt. I must confess, though, that despite occasional close attention, I have yet to spot any dangling strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
