I bet she only eats "farang" food whilst here too. Jerkweed. I don't understand your anger. I guess a HUGE portion of tourists sticks to what they know from home. Just have a look at those all inclusive hotels, group tours, cruise tours, e.g. And there is a reason why there are so many Farang bars and hotels in LOS. I guess that even a huge portion of backpackers stick to the beaten paths... Also were is the proof that this women visited only Aussi bars? Some here on the board are really presumptuous.

WorldFun Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 kamui, well said, but unfortunately there's not much fun in that or this topic at all anyway seeing what a happy ending the event took speaking of well trodden paths - how many have never ventured outside of lower suk for sanook be it farang owned bars or otherwise? more than a few with staying at nana hotel being the classic which even I never made (guess I was too stingy or happy with jw marr on biz!)

Maybe, but that's not the issue. Tourists risk totally unjust sentences here, because this incident is one of many signs recently that the country is turning into a dangerously Hobbesian society governed by dark forces instead of the rule of law. It's not about wether we like her or not. We two might not like each other CW, but you can be assured that I would be on your side if you faced some outrageous disproportionate sentence for a minor incidence like this one.

Of course those in the tourism industry and related businesses will have to put up with badly behaving foreigners - like in every country of the world. And of course the Thais can reduce the problem considerably: erase the P4P areas, close the beer bars, concentrate on families and richer tourists... It's up to them.

That's true. Mafia-like vested interests have always been here. But political stability in the country have kept the nation's governing and legal instititutions - what we call "Thailand"- in position to keep the system in some sort of balance and project necessary power to correct things going wrong. The erosion of political power recently has left those dark forces freer to act on their own. In the absence of central political power there is no "Thailand" to take corrective action when tourism is hurt by incidences like this one. In a Hobbesian society dark forces rule and they only care about their own interests, not about those of the nation. No we are not there yet, and hopefully politcal stability will be restored, but it might get worse before it gets better. How wide is Abhisit Vijjajiva's range for autononous maneuvering of the situation? Then there always tourists who misbehave, but that's as I said an other and less worrying issue.
