So now even "resembling foreigners'  is a potential offence, is it? There seems to be no end of ways they're trying to finger foreigners for Thai crime. Surely, if the thieves definitely were foreigners, it would have been one of the first things used to describe them by the shop staff.

Easy to see these Thieves are Asian 5555

                       Don`t be to quick to condemn the man. I had a VERY bad experience when I first came

                       to Thailend, some 20 odd years ago. I ordered a soup at a restaurant. I ate it and then was

                       confined to my room for 3 days. Not 2 meters away from a toilet, I did not dare to go out!

                       Probably the soup was not boiled, meaning if only luke warm, which mean there was bacteria

                       in the soup, not dead. Soups have to be boiled to 100 degree Celsium for the bacteria to die.

                       And you sit there waiting for your soup, and have no idea what`s going on in the kitchen.

                       Up to this day, the ONLY soup I eat, is the one I do myself, NO WAY in a restaurant anymore.

   

                       We must also think about our flora of our own bacteria in our stomach, what food they are used to,

                       i.e. the ones from our homeland. 

         

                       So, don`t hang the man for maybe eating something his stomach was not used too.

                       And when the eruption in your stomach is hitting you, there is no time to look for any toilet.

                       I think the guy is so embarrassed about the whole thing, more than you can even imagine.

 

                       And all you who are `screaming`about deportation, take it easy. It could happen to you too. 

 

                       Take it easy out there, and be gentlemen, Please.

A Thai man did a similar body movement in soi Honey Pattaya several years ago and was photographed doing his business in one of the drains in the middle of the soi, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Yes, this chap was clearly unwell mentally.

Stop making excuses for being drunk .. Using a Thai shrine to wash should be automatic jail and deportation

Any mention of TAT on this forum seems to trigger the same old bar stool reactions from the usual old aunties.

 

The reality is TAT has had amazing success bringing trillions of baht into Thailand and improving the lives of millions of Thai people directly and lifting the standard of living generally.

 

Other south east asian countries have beautiful beaches and are even cheaper than Thailand, but Thailand brings in more cash than all the others combined, Bangkok is extremely popular as are the islands etc.

This idea outlined in the OP is exactly what is needed. Thailand is recovering so much better and faster than most other tourist spots around the world. 

 

Ironically the aunties posting were lured here because of TAT even if they dont realise it.

 

Thailand is a world tourism leader.

Suck it up girls.
