Why Thailand is a hub for international criminals?

[genobkk]

As an American, I have witnessed many fugitives from the US come here and hide themselves, and also many other international criminals do the same. I tried to find out why until I realized that the government is making money by allowing people to come here and make this country hell for others and heaven for the fugitives.

It isn't

[QECE]

As an American you might realize [or not] that your country is, clear and away, the greatest historical terrorist ever.

The twisted irony surely isn't recognized.

Although, as an American, I agree 100^ with you

 

That wasn't really what he was talking about

 

Thailand(and other developing countries) does atrract a certain criminal element

You’re on the wrong site pal. It’s quora.com where you ask stupid leading questions to start a topic.

Do you have any sane questions or is it just a barrage of bitter BS with you?

What should Thai authorities do check the background of every tourist entering the country?

Although, for this discussion, I would focus on developing countries that most Westerners find agreeable

Like Thailand and Cambodia in SEA

 

Some don't have unlimited cash, so they go to a developing country that is more affordable and their savings can stretch 

A lot of them  aren't exactly employable......

You got blown some s**t for that comment, but I thought it was good relative to the OP.

Never know who you're sitting next to in Thailand.  Everyone has a story, I take them at their word but sometimes..... something seems a bit 'off', glossed over.   Maybe just to me given my background isn't mysterious, 1+1=2, most of my adult life around the same sort of vetted people without much baggage. 

So living here has been a trip.  Apart from the mostly known quantities within the pensioner category, wow, all sorts from all over I'd not come across before.  Easy to default into being judgemental, superior, but after several years, meh, these are the peeps around me now.  Have a few beers and a few laughs and don't think too much.... but not naive about the possibility one of them had chopped his mother up with an axe then flew to Thailand. 

Did meet a fella here once who was quite open about being a full-time thief, specifically retail shoplifting.  Does the business for about 6 months, or until he 'feels' the police activity is intensifying, then Thailand for a holiday, until things cool down back home.  Didn't appear to be rich, or flaunting it like a holiday Baht millionaire, just a "normal" looking bloke on modest coin in budget friendly Thailand/SEA.   Felt to me like his "job" was his job there, not here, but yeah, couldn't escape the idea he might nick my wallet or phone off the table.    But he didn't.
