The reports are from all over thailand. People that have lived in villages for over 10 years and now being harassed by police.

Oh by the way, they have removed all beach chairs and umbrellas, cracked down on prostitution, bars close at 12 now as well. Before they banned beach chairs, there is a popular video of a tourist laying on her own towel when some mafia guy kicks sand all over her for not renting his chair. Not long after, tourists were told by police that they have to remove their umbrellas that they purchased. A joke.

The country is trying to change their image from a sexpat paradise to a family vacation country but they are going about it all wrong. They are wanting to get rid of street vendors and markets because they want to have "quality tourists". 1 problem, people come to Thailand for everything they are destroying. For example; Khao San is known to anyone visiting thailand. It's a long busy street made up of street vendors, food, bars, etc. it's cramped, noisy, chaotic, and people love it! They want to come see it, taste it, smell it, and live it but Thailand wants to be like sterile Singapore and remove everything!

Unfortunately you have monkeys working in Tourism department molding Thailand into what they think tourists want, instead of what they actually want.
