I've been here 16 years. You're the one that came out with the dumb statement of the police having a reputation, and I pointed out that foreigners also have a reputation (which is true). You then went into total meltdown

Ok. So Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Rai, Pai, Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, Ko Chang, Kanchanaburi should all be ignored when foreigners get drunk and cause disturbances? Doesn't kind of leave much does it? And you do realise when you enter Thailand your photo is immediately accessible to the police?

Probably because you're in denial? You say the Thai Police have a "reputation" whilst ignoring the fact that foreigners also have a "reputation". You try to deflect that by saying this behaviour is confined to Pattaya and Phuket. Do you want to add Samui to your list?

I'm not in Phuket or Pattaya. Are you saying foreigners visiting these areas don't count towards the reputation of foreigners' behaviour? Very subjective viewpoint

Foreigners have a reputation of getting drunk, getting stoned, disobeying road rules, fighting in the street, "falling" off balconies, overstaying visas etc. The list is endless
