Dangerous Thailand: Authorities’ denial a ‘smoke and mirrors’ exercise

Well written.

Excerpts

The report highlighted Thailand’s high rates of crime, violence and the low reliability of the country’s police services as reasons for the country’s poor ranking, which placed it in 118th place among 136 countries.

It is of little surprise, however, that the military backed government were eager to negate the unflattering Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report. After all, this government came to power through the May 2014 coup, and by creating he National Council for Peace and Order, they used national safety and stability to legitimise their authority.

While the Foreign Ministry seems perplexed by Thailand’s poor ranking in WEF report, the prevalence of gun crime, road deaths, violent crime, sexual assault, rival college violence, motorcycle gang culture, road rage confrontations, tourist scams, drunken assaults and psychotic net-idols are no secret to most of the country’s residents. Simply watch one of Thailand’s morning TV news shows on any given day, and you’ll see enough to shatter the idyllic imagery projected by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Diplomatic Security wrote in its safety report for overseas staff:
“Thailand has a fervent gun culture on par with the United States and has become a world leader in firearms-related homicides.”

Lastly, one of the most dangerous aspects of life in Thailand is travelling on its lethal roads, which are now ranked the second most dangerous in the world. The only country in the world to have more dangerous roads is war-torn Libya. On average, there are 24,000 deaths on Thailand’s roads every year, 73 per cent of those killed are motorcyclists.

The pussies that wrote this report need to visit South Africa. They'd be singing Thailand's praises within 30 minutes of arrival:

Baggage stolen before you leave the airport

Rape, murder and grand larceny possible as soon as you exit the terminal.

Sorry for the quoting effup, Richard.
