What about the expat residents? Do we not count...???

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?

clueless, who do you think runs all the scams, who takes a cut of everything, who is the mafia...? The Police  "are" the problem, the "cure" is very simple

So many experts on here why not form your own vigilante brigade and stop whining. 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.

The Thais are winning the battle to get rid of foreigners / tourists from Thailand its their country and Thais  don't need anyone else here. go away and stay away   

 

Yes. That's Thainess for you. I am leaving next year as soon as my affairs are settled here. Thank god. Don't ever want to come back to this shithole. Stuff them. I hope the country goes down the gurgler and their Chinese tourists dry up after being attacked and scammed on their holidays here.

dslocum,

 

Don't agree. The expats that live there all year round spend on housing, utilities, restaurants, bars, golf etc etc.

Correct - tourists, while probably spending proportionately more in their 2 or 3 weeks of bringing happiness to the people by their profuse distribution of banknotes, do not for the most part have to pay for utility bills or housing that the ex pat has to do all year round.

I have been in Hua Hin 11 years and the only crooks I have encountered have been foreigners. 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.

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."!
