Would Chinese Police on Thai Streets Assuage "Safety Fears"?

[@VicBattlefield]

I couldn’t agree with you more! We’re not forcing them to come over here so if they don’t feel safe, stay at home?

[@donovanpatrick9256]

Well said.

[@DawnDelVecchio]

@@donovanpatrick9256 💯%!

[@LarryThiland]

I would feel unsafe with Chinese police here. Never felt unsafe in Thailand, not once!

[@geofftuck3364]

Agree 100% Ben, i'm very concerned with China's increasing interference & mafia type tactic's here, also i feel much safer here than Australia & New Zealand, why can they not just let Thailand manage itself, cheers.

[@TheNicholaas]

They end goal is totally controll thailand.sneaky people & country.look out 🇹🇭 thailand

[@fractal1133]

You know they have them in the US and UK too. AI "The presence of Chinese "police service stations" in both the UK and the US has been a subject of controversy and investigation. These stations are officially described by China as administrative hubs to assist Chinese citizens abroad with tasks such as renewing driver's licenses. However, allegations suggest they are also used for monitoring, harassing, and coercing Chinese nationals living abroad, particularly those critical of the Chinese government."

[@buddhapunkz]

Not once have I ever felt unsafe in Thailand. Thailand does not need to have Chinese police anywhere in Thailand. If Chinese citizens do not feel safe they should go somewhere else.

[@booftiger]

I've been to Thailand a few of times, I have travelled the country, I felt more safe in Thailand than here in Australia. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@jameswilkinson5938]

Could not agree more, your comments are correct, Thailand does not need policing from any foreign entity.

[@JimmyJ-ne2uj]

And Thailand does not need Whiteman to talk for them.

[@georgemahlum6542]

Why does this even become a question...China has never been a trustworthy/truthful nation...I am an American that retired here in Bangkok...First time I came here to work was way back in 1972...I have never felt safer than here...Cheers

[@Macsalleh]

U belive Ben crap? Why no newspaper report about this nonsen

[@williamchan4340]

I'm with you Ben, 200%. I'm a retiree staying in Bangkok over 3 years already. Never felt unsafe here.

[@cameronwright4508]

Yeah, I felt terrified when my time was up in Thailand and I had to return to Australia, very scary prospect of returning to a violent country that's been plunged into a woke financial mess Also please note 2 Chinese prostitutes were killed in their own apartments recently in Melbourne Australia, I don't recall any push for Chinese police or boycotting of Australia for tourism Anyway, they don't make great tourists, the numbers can be impressive, but when it's all said and done there's is little to no financial gain for the local economy when they are in town, Chinese tour operators, Chinese hotels, Chinese restaurants etc etc

[@ChaadFairservice20022]

Yup. Super cheap and super ethnocentric. Worst tourist crowds to market to.

[@davidhanak2767]

Not the same hey I live thailand now. Not free mate australia

[@mugekuge]

Yep and the CCP sure want to secretly dictates their laws into our countries like UK and the US. Chinese tourist should be fearing other Chinese tourist or company overseas most of the cmeinals are the Chinese themselves even their trash govement.

[@Soloman3]

Wah wah, always the woke boogie man with you tools.

[@freespeechfordemocracy2152]

I have lived in Thailand for 13 years and have never felt neither unsafe nor threatened. More than I can say for ehen I lived in Australia. Admire your passion

[@Pad_See_Ew]

Ridiculous. No matter what your race or country of origin, if one travels to another country you take your chances with regards to safety. If the Chinese are so worried, they should learn how to contact the Thai police like every other visitor. Surprised Thailand is considering this?! So absurd and fishy.

[@DawnDelVecchio]

spot on!

[@warntheidiotmasses7114]

Suspicious they're pushing for that. Ask most Thai people, Chinese tourists don't spend much money on Thai owned businesses. They are closely corralled around to Chinese owned businesses. Obviously there's ulterior motive for the Chinese powers that be to want to have their police in Thailand. The reason Chinese and Korean tourism is off is due to the weakness in their respective currencies.

[@DawnDelVecchio]

"We in America call that 'free'" - YESSSSSS!!!

[@angelomia6691]

I've always felt safe on the streets anytime day or night

[@JeffEdwards258]

China has it's own colonial ambitions but it uses economics rather than the military.

[@fractal1133]

It is using technology as well

[@Ghekko-kw3zz]

In Fiji they started a drug epidemic, using it as a waypoint to Australia & NZ, then used that as justification for having their own cops on show. They busted a scam farm & the next day flew out everyone caught working there- but the guy who's running the waypoint business is still there no problem.

[@noklekpui]

Good news that the Chinese are cancelling, no way should any foreign nationality have a police presence in Thailand

[@matthewparsons6496]

Well said. Bravo. Outrageous and insulting.

[@jdavies212msu]

PREACH IT. BRO’! (but without having a stroke). 😮

[@Ulbre]

feel safer in Thailand than I've ever felt anywhere else, although I would feel unsafe if Chinese Police were on the streets with the same powers as Thai police

[@warntheidiotmasses7114]

Amen

[@georgeloveless4848]

I felt safe everywhere I went in Thailand and Vietnam. Went to the Philippines, never felt safe anywhere there.

[@roberthaynes4809]

Spot on as always

[@Nullachtneun-j1o]

Realtalk Ben 👍.

[@petermavrenski6602]

I am in China and yes the economy has been sliding since 2017.

[@williamkelley3522]

What’s so unsafe about bus touring or following the leader down Walking Street or eating en masse at Chinese only restaurants in Bangkok?

[@6789uiop]

Going out on a limb and saying NO.

[@peterdelacruz8270]

Thank you.

[@davidhanak2767]

Interesting times thanks

[@max965max]

Why not an international police force on the Thai streets, Chinese fools crossing the Myanmar border a civil war country and complain Thailand isn't safe. 2025 what sick world we living in!? 😎.

[@DawnDelVecchio]

As a woman alone I have been coming to Thailand for nearly 27 years now. I have NEVER felt unsafe. Of course, I don't act obnoxious, get in fights with locals or get hammered and start acting like a jerk, but I have been all over this beautiful country ALONE and occasionally with hubby or a friend - narry a problem ever. I mean, I am sitting here wracking my brain to come up with SOMETHING or some time when I felt unsafe ... nope. Sounds to me like the CCP propaganda machine has rolled out some fake news -or conflated news, or out-of-context news - in order to sway the populous and thus attempt to achieve colonial-type access to a perceived Golden Goose (Thailand). Most governments, we are coming to find out, lie through their teeth. In that regard, China/CCP is the "gold standard". If they say it, it's probably 180° opposite.

[@jackoneil3933]

Absolutely it will Assuage the fears of some! Primarily the fears of some feeling pressure from Beijing to expand the revolution, while striking fear in the hearts of those who remember what life under Chinese rule In much of S.E. Asia was like. Now that my original comment is back, I'd like to add some additional thoughts: Having spent a fair amount of time in China and Thailand, nearly marrying into a Thai family who held deep sentiments and fears of Communism, and later nearly marrying into a Chinese family with deep ties to the PLA and CCP who hold a deep distrust and disgust of the communist regime in Beijing, the strong warnings they had for Americans not to trust the regime I'm sure they would tell Thais to not allow any agents of the regime on their soil, and I am gobsmacked that Thais at large would not oppose this with alarm.

[@mst6429]

If the numbers are low its probably due to Chinese new year celebrations back home and then they'll be back soon. As for the their own cops here i'm pretty sure they were welcomed with open arms, flowers, hugs and kisses.

[@ralphmayers608]

Love your take on things here in Thailand, your blood pressure must be hitting the ceiling at times, though.

[@ktor538]

First time seeing you this fired up! I completely understand .

[@Berri7]

Chinese police stations in overseas cities world wide is not new. Thailand should not allow this.

[@jameshunt2905]

Passive aggressive manipulation by any other name……It’s looking like some leaders are attempting to cover up some things as well.

[@globin010252]

sweeet fiery rant

[@JamesLangenberg-s8f]

Stop beating around the bush…. What do you really think?

[@jeremyheaton5528]

Way to go Ben, well said, 👏

[@TomMiller-b5h]

Well said and true I have lived here 30 years and have never felt unsafe

[@dreammix9430]

Spot on dude!!

[@michael1621]

I feel safer in Thailand than I did in the UK!

[@Boyeaton1]

It has nothing to do with safety. Thanks for the heads up never to buy/read the Bangkok Post. It would be interesting to see who is behind their funding!

[@danielwoods6652]

Excited delivery 😮

[@allenclark3437]

I have been in Phuket for 25 years from Australia and never had a problem.

[@robbatayaki5505]

Reminds me of chinese police "help" offices in US or Europe

[@ResQFrogman]

10000% with you

[@davearch5462]

Im from America and have lived in Thailand for 3 years its the safest place i have ever been as long as you SHOW RESPECT and I think the Chinese need to learn this . Because Thailand is safer than China and America

[@stoopsolo1479]

Never in fifty years of holidays in Thailand have I felt unsafe 🇦🇺🇹🇭

[@brian472]

I have never felt unsafe in Thailand and in Bangkok I walked many back streets and actually find more friendly Thai people who I actually befriended, I started coming to Thailand in April 2015 and was almost immediately convinced great place to be. I would in the present time say china is probably not such a safe destination. I now have a Thai wife and that is definitely the best decision I made. My wife actually worked in Bangkok in one of the big shopping malls and she would say that the Chinese were not big spenders.

[@mathewboyd3746]

I've travelled more than 25 countries in my lifetime and I've been coming to Thailand for the last 13yrs multiple times a year. Thailand is as safe as it gets for a tourist of any nationally. Ben, I think you already know the real motive for these foreign police suggestions and it's not coming from the Thai people or government.

[@russandrews3078]

Feel safe day and night...

[@mrkus-nc7od]

Hire U S A POLICE 😂 OR SCANDINAVIAN COPS 😂❤

[@Ghekko-kw3zz]

There's volunteer corps in most SE Asian countries, plus employees of FBI, Auspol, many others- but they aren't "on the beat"; they work on specific task forces coordinated with local police.

[@Wingchowtravelblog]

No Chinese Police then no Chinese tourists group will feel safe to visit Thailand . That’s a big loss to Thailand 🇹🇭 I mean Big ! Thai Government will change the rules for this ! Money talk

[@RavenAutoPartsCo]

WTH! Your safer here than some cities in Australia, Europe or USA. I lived for one in Bangkok and 3 year in Pattaya and never felt unsafe...then I moved up country it's a constant stream of snakes, centipedes and scorpions trying to kill me!

[@guntramschlemminger7383]

Who knows these days worlds mad

[@ErezBorowsky]

This is how Hong Kong started being taken over...

[@jeh1333]

If Chinese feel unsafe in Thailand, this says more about the Chinese than Thailand! Maybe, China should look closer at the behaviour of the tourists it lets out of the country.

[@auforu]

That Chinese singer concert was not cancelled for safety reasons -in reality it was cancelled due to lack tickets sales

[@colininthailand8427]

Certainly safer than London.

[@mickcauvin4814]

I think this touched a nerve 😂 i like this guy

[@Macsalleh]

Talk about sovereignty rule base order, why so many staffs in most US embassy and military bases around the world

[@stevemahoney6493]

80% of new condo foreign sales are to Chinese. If they want to stay home, fine. Their money is sure as hell making the trip.

[@rogerfleck5387]

I felt unsafe when I tripped on a street stone lol .

[@johnrichardson6296]

Why are my comments being instantly deleted( two minutes ago)? All I did was give short, polite, reasonable verbal support to Ben in his justified fury over this issue. I don't know why so MANY times my comments get shoved into oblivion on this channel. What is going on here? Is it because I dared utter on this platform the horrendous, beyond-evil words, 'national sovereignty'?! I trust that it is not Ben doing this deleting. In fact, I feel pretty sure that it is not.

[@Oojame-b8b]

Stop give them free visa

[@cryptosecuritytools]

Not this crap again! They floated this before

[@yimmiytube]

Agree

[@ThaiLife2122]

Thailand won't benefit if Chinese police are present. In fact, Thailand will lose tourism, and many of the existing foreigners inside Thailand would leave if police from another country (communist) are present. Who wants that?

[@powerplayer365]

I would leave and never return

[@williamreas2550]

There is crime but it is very little u can leave your door open an still feel safe etc the police are great

[@Gerd93.5]

The "extorsion" theory seems plausible (not a conspiracy theorist...).

[@mugekuge]

Wow I felt unsafe when I am walking through a street in pattaya, fearing of being grab by a lady and might marry her 😅

[@jackoneil3933]

I tried to post a comment about Chinese Police in Thailand, and it was instantly removed, twice. Perhaps the police are already protecting you and your channel too Benjamin? Update: A few mins After posting this my comment was restored.

[@tronwars7130]

But we have western people as tourist police on the streets

[@danredzone73]

I’ve heard from a few different people that Russians are acting like unethical, disrespectful twats, this is slightly off topic to what your saying here, but maybe the Thai police need to get heavier on bad behaviour. Apologies to any Russians that are suffering bad reputations due to a few.
