There are perfectly dull ways to put people to death. Make no mistake, beheading is done for the thrill. Civilised nations got over that kind of childishness centuries ago.

The death penalty is barbaric whether it be beheading, hanging or lethal injection. Saudi Arabia is more barbaric than most countries, with Iran, China and USA not far behind.

Guess it would depend how one defines "not far behind": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_by_country#Numbers_executed_in_2014

Thnk goodness they are nt allowed into Thailand.

That is maybe a bit wrong wording.

Saudi Arabians get 14 days Visa on Arrival,

BUT, after returning with a Thai stamp in the Passport, their own Saudi Arabian Government could, will make problems as the Saudis imposed Travel restrictions for their citizens to Thailand.

Better Saudis get the trip from their Government allowed, or cannot find their Passport after traveling to some other country before travelling home and look for replacement on a neutral ground.
