Trump’s Vision for a Government Overhaul with RFK Jr. and Elon Musk Gaining Power

[Chivas]

Utter lunancy off an incredible scale. Just what goes through these bufoons minds. Do they take the view that there wont be any international exposure  !

[FredNL]

Thailand is ranking #1 on the worldwide list of "gun and foot" stories.

[dinsdale]

You not Thai. You feed fish. You go jail. You Thai . You very rich. You kill people with car. You OK. You not go jail

[Chivas]

Its on the Russian News 24 service RT now on British TV......absolutely ridiculous

[Kabula]

I bet there are many angry, hungry fish.

What's the fine for feeding the elephants,it must be huge.

Nah, it's peanuts.

Thai police... please get a grip.

 

Don't molest tourists feeding fish, you have better things to do.

 

Persist in acting in such clownlike manner and you will be (once more) worldwide laughing stock. I try to always view the actions of Thai authorities with a lot of goodwill, but this is getting ridiculous.

 

If the coral reef needs to be protected from fish-feeding tourists, then issue a ban for boats to go there, period.

Routine patrol, my arse! Tour operator getting a nice kickback on this one (and likely those that came before). 

You really have no clue what you're talking about.

[Davehappen]

Well that's buggered it, everytime I go fishing all I do is feed the fish.

[daveAustin]

Bit of a silly overreaction by the Thai authorities, and big imbalance with everything else that goes on here. You're losing face, Thighland, and probably a lot more than 100k after word gets around. Mai pen rai and all that, but probably best not to upset the Ruskies too much; don't want Mr Putin getting his knickers in a twist.

This is retarded. Thailand......... you don't deserve tourists.

I didn't see ANY Russians in Penang....that might change soon i guess.

 

I sure won't go to the Thai beaches anymore after reading this. Are there any signs (in english) that's illegal to feed the fish??

[fruitman]

What about the Italian boys who pulled thai flags down in Phuket? Are they still in jail?

[chilli42]

A story that speaks for itself, untouched by human intelligence.  It's a beautiful thing.

[Beats56]

Just unbelievable. Never heard of that law before. I guess I will have to add to the list of no no things here.

 

 

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

Ripoff of Foreigners, typical. Another nail in the coffin of Thai tourism.

Pathetic is the first word coming to mind.  What follows is not fit for written comment. 

Hope the story gets out in the media.

Obvious tourist scam. Other avenues of revenue must be drying up.

A scam usually not have a bail and go to court to complete the scam. Everything else was right, though.

[Jonmarleesco]

It would be nice to know that the RTP and the courts have better things to so with their time. Sadly, we know they don't.

[AGareth2]

normally it is those that feed people to the fish that get prison terms

To be expected - unless you're Thai authority.

So that explains the smell! I wonder if Olga likes him feeding the fish. If thats what you call it?

Any fine handed out to a tourist  the tour guide/groups should be hammered with a fine ten times greater. We all know they are breaking the rules but there's no comeback- THEY are the ones who know the regulations, not tourists.

... but throwing plastic into the sea for fish and other marine life to feed on and then die is perfectly OK

Since when is that ok?  Get caught and you'll have problems

Can't play Bridge, can't feed the fish, can't talk about (in)competence, can't suffer incontinence, can't drink the p*ss for 3 hours in the afternoon, can't take the p*ss.... what is there left to live for???!!!

 

Playing Bridge is fine, gambling isn't.

Feeding fish is fine in places where feeding fish is allowed.

Talking about incompetence is fine.

Drinking all afternoon is fine.

Taking the piss is ok, too.

[jak2002003]

I thought it was Buddhist good Karma to be kind and feed hungry animals?

 

Meanwhile fishing boats are out netting huge numbers of fish to sell to the restaurants.. but that is OK?

 

Seriously, when I went there.. each time the tour guides handed out bread for people to feed the fish.  This is what must have happened this time... so the tour guide needs to be prosecuted not the tourist.. who seems to have been tricked into this money making scam.... because what tourist is going to carry around a slice of bread all day just to feed some fish is they happen to see any?
