Cracking down on the foreign rat bags paying bribes to immigration via agents to get extensions they are not entitled to should be a main priority, that would get rid of a lot of bad guys.

Surely a government offical accepting a bribe should be the focus, especially when they are charged with protecting Thailand borders.

I'm new here and have never been to Pattaya, could you enlighten me as to all the other negative traits displayed by all ( or lets say 80%) of the millions of people  who "typically"  choose to visit that city every year.  Or are you just posting rubbish to try to  fit in with the growing lynch mob?

This website has been taken over by zealots who try to be more right-wing and extreme in their belief and parroting of the official line as they mistakenly believe this will somehow make them more Thai or more in touch with the locals. 

 

Its become an echo chamber of self loathing and hate sadly.

Looks like a grey nomad from the blurred picture. Charge & deport the drunk old fool, ban him for 5 years and cancel his retirement visa. Seems every day it's the grey old nomads making the news for the wrong reason.

So should we strip Thais (like this one) who drink and drive and cause death and destruction on the roads of their citizenship and deport them too? Seems fair right? Chucking out the trash right!

Never agreed with anything this Pineapple  ever said until now.

Face facts Mr. farnung. Unless one holds PR or Thai citizenship you are a permanent short-term visitor.

Every proplem and hassle that has been increasing over the years is partly the fault of these foreign crims

scroungers, and  scofflaws. Heavy fines then Thai Jail  and then deport.  "persona non grata"

LOL - A german tourist in the country for 1 hour who has a falling out with a taxi driver is the cause of all Thailand's woes - Hilarious. 

 

Please explain how Thailand's biggest problem - the extreme political polarization of the population, is the fault of foreigners?   How have foreigners contributed the the vast inequality in wealth between rich and poor?  - because obviously, probelms these fall under the "Every problem and hassle.." category you so elequantly refer to in your rant. 

 

BTW whats a farnung my little yellow friend? 

[Anutin urges Phuket officials to get tough with foreign offenders]

You always know a country is having a tough time economically when it starts blaming foreigners for its woes. Classic political misdirection tactics - to keep the public from seeing what is really important and rally the citizens to the flag. 

 

It's important to remember that the 'crimes' that have been committed are minor,(no one died, no one was raped, no one was kidnapped, no one was sexually assaulted, no vast amounts of drugs were seized or pushed).  Watch Thai national news on TV, even if you cannot understand Thai, and in a week you will see far more violent and frequent acts in a single week than all the foreign tourists will commit in a year. Yet Anutin remains silent on that. 

 

This is a political deflection to keep the public engrossed - remember Brexit - one of the main theme of the Brexiter's argument was that UK sovereignty was under threat from foreigners - and that argument, though wildly untrue won. 

 

[PM Seeks Funding Solution for Digital Wallet Plan]

Here's an idea Mr. PM - How about raising tax on recreational cannabis even further. I think taxation on tobaccois between 25 - 42% depending on the packet size - There your 500 billion baht black hole is fixed and a huge chuck will come from tourists and provide a limited burden to Thai tax-payers....and it will continue to give taxation money long after the 500 billion is repayed. 

 

Suggested taxation threseholds.

 

1 - 5g = 25% taxation

5g plus  = 42% taxation 

 

Now go forth and deliver on your election promise.

Why when it is a pedo in Thailand why is it always British? 🤔

Sadly though it is not. There are a very high number of local Thai men who have predatory sexual relationships with underage girls. Often reported in local news, but it never makes it to English news channels. 

 

Very easy with the limited number of English news outlets, all parroting the same stories to think westerners are the only pesos in Thailand. They are most definitely not, in fact western pesos are the minority of reported cases.

you can’t do that in Thailand, you have to pay upfront a large sum of money ( depending on the credit limit you want) before they will issue you a credit card! 

 

Really - I have three Thai bank credit cards and have never paid upfront,  even when issued. Signed the documents and the cards arrived a few days later. Makes no sense as if you deposit does the credit card not now become a debit card? 

[700+ illegal foreign workers exposed in Thailand’s reserved jobs]

Only 700 illegals. Thats a shocking number. The Cambodians, Laotian and Myanmarese are slipping. They need to get some advice on how to add to their illegal number. 

 

Maybe Thailand could give this advice considering there are over 100,000 illegal workers in South Korea. Thais seems to be experts at working illegally in foreign countries.

I disagree. In your house you allow your family a certain amount of leeway for their transgressions, but if a visitor came and got out of order, especially of the violent sort, you'd turf them out on their ear. Similar situation here, visitors are expected to exhibit good behaviour in a country where they are guests, whereas locals are as a rule shown a bit more leniency.

Awful analogue. Basically you have said one law for thais and one for foreigners. Which is not how the law works.

 

BTW. Do you make visitors to your house pay tax, room and board or provide your family members with jobs??? 

 

Terrible analogue.

The Thai woman is 8 months pregnant and the Russian kicked her in the groin twice, as well as giving her a load of verbal abuse. She should be jailed for violence and then deported imho.

I'm sorry but kicking a pregnant woman 8 months into it is a hate crime I don't care if the Russian whore had her period or not this is not something we should take lightly,, kick her out and ban her for life. 

Mike -  I was refering to the Swiss / Dr incident in Phuket. But don't let that get in the way of your anger. 

 

IMO she should face the punishment as the law states for anyone who assaults another person, regardless of her nationality or ethnicity. I am sure however, that you will find many supporters for your POV here on the echo-chamber of farang loathing and hate that aseanow has become. Enjoy. 

 

No wonder Thais are starting to dislike us so much when we fan the flames of discontent ourselves.

Fine you believe in discrimination  based on nationality and ethnicity. Do not be surprised (in fact embrace it) if it happens to you. I believe all people should be and are equal under the law and the law must be applied equally to all in all cases.

 

Not unequally with minorities which we are, being unfairly treated by a disproportionate application of the law.

Sorry but you would never find such an extreme punishment if it were Thai on Thai. All punishments should be equal for all people, irrespective of nationality or ethnicity, otherwise your are condoning discrimination and racism. 

 

You may disagree with that but that says more about you than I.

That is a matter of opinion ...not fact. I do not think that a bit of swearing and a kick should result in a person's life being torn apart. I feel the punishment should fit the crime. 

[Thai Government Intensifies Crackdown on Foreign Criminals to Protect Tourism]

I don't wish to sound naive here but which of the recent 'crimes' committed by foreigners that have been in the news over the last couple of weeks targetted tourists? I thought the feigned indignation and outrage in the media was because the foreigners had 'targetted' Thais.

Kinda like saying I prefer dog sh*t over cat sh*t if we are honest.  Trump is a lunatic bent on revenge and Biden can't remember what he had to eat for breakfast this morning. And these are the best the USA has to offer as leaders!! MAGA my arse.  All Americans deserve a better set of choices than either Trump or Biden. I'd rather have Hussain or Gadaffi than either of these two tbh. At least they had character.
