The Daily Mail has a story on the results of a new survey about Britons being the victims of crime while on holiday. More bad news for Thailand, it tops the list.
The story lists Thailand, France and Turkey as numbers one, two and three. Spain has many more crimes against Britons but that is because it has so many more British tourists, so the proportionate crime rate is lower.
How long has it been since there was a good story about Thailand in the international media?

I thought Thailand was safe, or maybe because the Brit soccer hooligans start alot of fights there is a problem?

I had to go to a phone late at night in Pattaya and I was next to a bar where 3 Britt’s were violently vomiting on each other and seemingly enjoying it. There was a sad Thai girl with a broom behind them sweeping their stinking laughter into the gutter.
Just a few days later I was witness to two young Britt’s tazering each other with glee in a bar.
I think I too have been a victim of crime in bad Thailand. I should not have to see these things.
Can ya dig it?

I am not a soccer fan and although I have seen people of all countries reacting oddly to a win or a loss by their precious teams my comment is not about Britt soccer fans. Or is it? I thought these savages were just common tourists.
Oops, my bad.
