pokerface1 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 All Thai polititans should have a reporter chained to them who only reports what they do and nothing of what they say. Only then will be see there real worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheops Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 4 hours ago, Sonhia said: B.S! I was attacked two weeks ago, in public by a Thai secruity guard for no reason! I reported the attack to Thai Tourist Board, Immgration Police in Pattaya, who are a waste of time, plus the RTP. To date nothing has materialized! If I attack a Thai, all hell would break loose? Thailand has become very unsafe and racist. Sign of the times and a fact!' BS post! Thailand has not become more dangerous and certainly not more racist. I have never felt unsafe in Thailand except occasionally in a taxi with a lunatic driver. I have never been attacked in Thailand, let alone being attacked for no reason. I don't buy that you were attacked for no reason at all. For sure you said something provoking or did something. Yes, Thai have a short fuse, but they very rarely attack for no reason! Muggings do happen, as in the rest of the world, but this happens much less here than in a lot of western countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummmm Apparently the Ministers security detail had already given the Minister his 6 pairs of underpants to change before he even got out of the official car.

Not sure about that but the "Cafe Hypocritical" chain of meeting places for TV members, seems to be expanding rapidly to put them into direct confrontation with the "Liars-4-U" group of businesses. ????????????????????????

(He also said he reported it to the Immigration Police, who wouldn't be interested as it's nothing to do with them!). I still feel safer here than many UK cities and towns.

It’s certainly not a bit safe for the Thais (murder, rape, road accidents etc). Just watch the Thai news for a couple of weeks and you wonder how you ended up here.

Unlike Thai pick-up drivers who mow people down at random. You are far safer walking in BKK than you are on the roads in Thailand for sure. But does that make Thailand safe ?
