ggt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Young Thai criminals are into equal opportunity robbery...they would prefer to find a lone drunk foreigner trying to make their way home after a night of drinking...but will settle for unsuspecting Thai women...both are easy targets for these cowards...lady-boys are bad about doing the same...

Thechook Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 As tourists stay away? I thought there were yearly double digit % increases.according to TAT this is another record year with tourism numbers again going through the roof and being smashed.The person who suggested that tourists stay away could be in serious trouble. It is a very serious offence to tell the truth and to tarnish Thailand's reputation. I can see TAT applying for an arrest warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As the tourists stay away Is that true? I hear only from raising tourist numbers indeed the numbers are actually rising strongly. but the many Chinese tourists stay in their rooms after darkness, and the majority of Thai robbers are not daring enough during daylight hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
