"We Safe Thailand Safe" ??:confused:
I'm sure legions of touris (sic) will now feel totally reassured about their safety whilst holidaying in the kingdom.
Grammar and spelling however will be shitting themselves.
Well,
Thailand is Safe destination as long as one is not chonking it up a lady boy in Pattaya or getting pissed up in Phuket.
No need for that sign outside of those two pits.
Is that a tourist volunteer holding the poorly spelled sign?
Thailand has its own set of risks and they are documented on the FCO website:
Of course most people don't bother reporting anything to the police because they usually make it so difficult and even then they do fuck all about it.Quote:
Western tourists including British nationals have been victims of vicious, unprovoked attacks by individuals and gangs in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao (the Samui archipelago). In January 2013 a British national was killed in a shooting incident while at a beach party in Haad Rin on Koh Phanang and in September 2014, 2 British nationals were killed in Tao.
Violent sexual assaults and robberies against both men and women are reported regularly in the Koh Samui archipelago and Krabi province. These are particularly common during the monthly Full Moon parties and generally occur late at night near bars.
Tourists have also been robbed after bringing visitors to their hotel rooms. In some cases their drinks were drugged. Be careful about taking drinks from strangers and at clubs and parties, particularly in Koh Samui, Pattaya and at the Full Moon party on Koh Phangan, where date rapes have been reported.
Attacks have also occurred in other tourist districts in Thailand including Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Krabi. In light of the risk of unprovoked attacks you should be cautious and take care, especially at night.
Alcohol and drugs can lead to you being less alert, less in control and less aware of your environment resulting in accidents, injuries, robbery, assaults and lost travel documents. If you drink, know your limit. Drinks served in bars overseas are often stronger than those in the UK. Some British nationals in Thailand have suffered severe psychiatric problems because of drug use, resulting in some suicides.
Be aware of the possibility of credit card fraud. Don’t lose sight of your card during transactions. There have been incidents of ATM skimming in Thailand. Where possible use an ATM within a bank and always protect your PIN.
Be careful to observe demarcation lines between shops and stalls, particularly in market areas and at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Taking items from one shop’s area to another may be treated as suspected theft.
Be on your guard against pickpockets and bag snatchers. Foreigners have had items snatched by thieves on motorbikes when walking along busy streets or travelling in open transport like tuk tuks. If you travel by bus, make sure cash and valuables you have are kept securely. There have been incidents where passengers have had items taken from bags while asleep.
Gem scams are common. There have been reports of visitors buying gems for inflated prices from seemingly respectable establishments then later finding out the stones are worth a tiny fraction of the purchase price.
You should report any incidents of crime to the Thai police before leaving the country.
It's a bullshit parade and it isn't fooling anyone.
The photo and the story are worlds apart.
The Police are going to recruit and train 1000 scavengers to become informers,great now we're going to have a surge in scavengers deaths, well done to the Police for informing all the crooks.
^^^^
Give it a miss Arry,
Over 20 millions tourists enter Thailand each year and a few get fucked up.
That's nothing considering the numbers involved.
The vast majority cause their own problems and a few innocents fall foul. Way it is anywhere.
I'd be much more concerned in Londonstan where stabbings and rapes are normal fare.
Terry the number of Tourist's that enter Thailand are mainly from China, Malaysia , Japan , South Korea and Laos with the number of western Tourist dropping over the last few year.In fact last year saw a drop of 6.54%,mainly because of all the bad publicity Thailand has received in the western press.
If everything was so rosy for the Tourist Industry in Thailand then why do you think they're pulling stunts like this ???
Yes I've traveled all over Thailand and never had a problem but the chances of getting beat up by a Taxi/Motor-Bike Drive or being scammed are far less than in Italy, Spain or one of the other European Holiday destinations . You never saw the amount of violent attacks on Tourists years ago as you do now and thats why the western tourist numbers are dropping here in Thailand.
Terry you are becoming a bit of a Mr Apologist when it comes to Thailand of late :rolleyes:
Waiting for the next coup....
:)
Jesus Terry Bangkok is a shit pit.Quote:

funny, because only recently it was decreed by the chief of police that it would be impractical for tourists to be required to carry their passports on them at all times.
still it is typical of the authorities in this silly country to speak with two voices, confusing not only themselves but everyone else too.

Don't talk shit Tax,
That was six fookin months ago that this story flashed through the press.
Lasted about three minutes before being clarified.
You do wank on.
Urm,
So I gather that Thailand's tourism is dying because a few punters get fuked over. :confused:
You know that's a load of shit huh.
Bombs, coups, murders, scams and all sorts of shit and the Tourist hoards can't keep away.
You need to get real mate.
Fuk me,
Half of Pomgolia lives here, it's not hard to see why given that fookin shit house. :spam2:
^
Yes,
But the Pom scum love it, much more safer than Engerland. :smileylaughing:
Can't pay the fuckers to go home. :spam2:
Not forgeting how safe Thailand's roads are..
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2015/08/196.jpg
btw Thailand only records a fatality at the scene, not in the ambulance or at the hospital.
^
Yes, but much of that are Motorbikes.
The tourist driving here is in big danger as they do not know how Somchai thinks.
Once tuned in to Somchai the retard it's a calculated risk.
No biggy.
terry, i dont mean to pry, but did you suffer a serious head injury as a child?
