I suspect that tourism brings in FAR more revenue than the expats. So sadly, I would say that expats really don't count. Is my thinking wrong?

Do you really know what you all come across like to readers here. Let the police do what they are doing if it works then appologise if not then whine like school girls. Not hard to be an expert in Thailand , all it needs is an ounce of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealing with officialdom is better than my own country where the police in the UK were notorious for doing nothing. Cautioning delinquents, failing to go after burglars, not getting out of their flash cars, while allowing members of the 'funny handshake' and paedophile clubs to play unmolested. You cant draw breath without committing a crime, there are so many laws. Give me Thai police any day. The worst they have done is fine me for no helmet. 200 bt still makes me smile. When I left it was 120 Euros. Thai police have a better clear-up rate than most because uneducated peasants usually can't keep their mouths shut. In the Songkran video incident the guy kicking the old lady and punching the son, was first hit by the two Brits, who should have been charged with assault. I was there that night. It was an amazing evening. You couldn't get 10,000 drunken british youths to be as polite and friendly as the young Thai men were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but " the guy kicking the old lady" doesn't exactly go hand in hand with "as polite and friendly as the young Thai men were."! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
