Justice minister Somasak Thepsuthin is throwing the doors of Thailand's prisons open

Is that a good idea .. I thought the idea of prison doors is to keep them shut .. it might get draughty otherwise ..

It appears they are starting to realize that Thailand doesn't truly have much to offer in the form of attractions which are tourist based. So they have to scrap the bottom of the of the pit to come up with something, anything new to present. Example, few months back they spoke about legalizing prostitution...

The writing is on the wall, the country is desperate to attract new tourism; hopefully with deep pockets, so the locals can do even less to appeal to the tourism they do interact with, while still getting a financial return, solely based on location, not on services or products, since both are only fare at best, with hygiene and safety at the very bottom of their consideration list.. Thailand is still holding tight on the idea that foreigners get their funds so easily and in plentiful supply as well, so no matter what occurs in the world, we will always have money to travel, and our employer are always handing out long vacations annually. All Thailand needs to do is just come up with a genius idea to attract the naive tourist that isn't truly aware of how boring Thailand truly is, or how risky it can be with concerns to dining out (seniors being beaten and filmed in Hua Hin, and in Pattaya) or traveling within the country (motorcycles coming down the roadways & sidewalks in all directions) just a few things that come to mind, which tourist might be surprised to see, which isn't displayed on ads. Nor for the smokers in the world, that will be surprised to be slapped with 100k fine for smoking outside, on the beach. I'm so glad I'm not a smoker, I would hate the law, as it makes no sense at all.

It is part of plans to rehabilitate prisoners in Thai jails by giving them a chance to work, develop skills and perhaps open their own businesses on release. 

who want to emploi somebody who ended finally in jail for serious wrongdoings

 

most go back to their old ways of easy MONEY

 

working for a salary is not on these guys mind anyway

 

great ideas by MORONS in power

Thats great! I suggest the next tourist attractions of Thailand to be some of the U-turns along the busiest roads in Thailand. They could advert something like this:

 

REAL traffic accidents - watch them live from your airconditioned van. Watch motorbike drivers without helmets and other safety features be crushed by speeding pick up truck with drunk drivers.

 

Satisfaction guarantee - if you dont happen to witness an accident you will get your money back!

Good point, dolphins also! and people (used) queue up and pay to go into these place, sure certain nationalities would also pay to watch people incarcerated, nothing quite like viewing others misfortune, adds to the superiority complex ????                                  :shock1:

we did away with public hanging in the UK some 200 years ago, (1868 was the last one) but at the time, they were well attended family events and considered great entertainment.

Another brain dead Minister in Prayut's band of deadheads.

Come on in the US they had guided tours of Alcatraz,  But tours of functioning prisons?  Hmmm what could possibly go wrong? Prison escape using captured tourists as hostages ? So called tourists breaking their friends out of jail?
