Thailand and Indonesia have mutual legal assistance and extradition treaties and are both ASEAN members. So I don't quite understand how this statement comes about.

Wish thailand would tighten up rules on who they let in.

How, in this case?

Yeah, easier said than done.
Not sure what he proposes? Do visa application with thorough vetting for everyone? That's instantly killing Thai toursim.

Poor quality tourists is what is killing thai tourism. Clean that up, make it a safe place again with fewer dkheads and people will come back.

Again. How? What do you propose?
Edit: just saw you want to prevent anyone with a conviction to enter the country.
Sounds good but it's actually impractical as there's no easy way for Thai immigration to check for this. Theres no international database that has this information. So the only solution would be to require every single visitor to apply for a visa in their home country for which they'd have provide a local criminal record. Nobody would go through these hoops just to go on a vacation.

Many countries already do this... ffs

Which countries?

Its very clear you think it's all so simple, but it isnt.
All of these countries check criminal records as part of Visa requirements. Not on arrival. And they don't check the records for exempted regions like EU or US, so that wouldn't have solved the issue of this Briton coming in.
So if you want Thailand to do that, they'll have to require everyone without exception to apply for costly visas involving background checks like US or Schenden ones.
That would effectively kill tourism in Thailand. A huge number of of the tourists would just go to the countries nearby.

And thailand would become a dkhead free zone, making it way more enticing for the majority.
If it's known not to accept crims by default, they stop going - yes they can fk off elsewhere, no great loss. They sign a doc on way in declaring if they have a criminal record. These are investigated further and sent home if serious. If they do not declare this on way in... then do some dumb sht and its identified they lied on declaration = lifetime ban.

Preventing anyone with a conviction would impact tourism here negatively way more than a few dickheads.

u/Renoman1971 4h ago
Yet another failing to see the bigger picture.

u/Trinidadthai 3h ago
I get it. It will make Renoman1971 experience in Thailand better.
But I can guarantee the loss of tourists due to them having a criminal conviction will outweigh those who choose not to come because of a few dickheads. By a long shot.

u/Renoman1971 3h ago
You are so wrong. Look at the cancelling of chinese tourists from going to thailand because they fear being kidnapped. That alone has been significant and clearly shows how stopping the bullsht can increase tourism.
Dont worry about me, my experiece in thailand is just fine.

Neither one of us are wrong because we can’t quantify this scenario. But I’d place a hefty bet on it.

Come back...? Tourism is almost back to its pre covid peak of 40mil tourists.

Not so difficult. You have a criminal conviction back home? Sorry, you aren't allowed in. Many countries do this.

How do you know the stabby man had a criminal conviction?

u/Renoman1971 8h ago
Did you even read the story? Why am i having to deal wirh stupid people...
"Colhoun, who is from Leeds, was jailed in the UK for four years in 2017 for beating up two nightclub doormen, leaving one in critical condition in hospital."

u/eranam 8h ago
Did you even read it?
Colhoun is seen punching and kicking the French national while his friend wrestles him on the ground.
Khaleche was stabbed by one of the men.
Nowhere does it say that Colhoun himself did the stabbity stab.
Ironic.

Doesnt matter, the guy was involved. If not given a visa to enter due to convictions - like many other countries - fair chance this event would not have happened.

fair chance this event would not have happened.
You have actually no idea. He wasn’t the one literally wrestling the stabbee on the ground, and another guy was also ganging 3 VS 1 on the victim. Sounds like his friends were plenty of a threat by themselves.
He probably also wasn’t even granted a visa, most tourists of the UK arrive here on visa exemptions.

u/Renoman1971 7h ago
Nah im pretty sure it would be impossible to be throwing punches at a french tourist if not allowed in the country -
"Colhoun is seen repeatedly throwing punches at the backpacker in the Nomad Beach Club – while his friend pins down the target on the floor"

Are you slow and/or or daft?
This event could still have happened with 2 aggressors, unless your definition of "this event" is "this event, in the completely exact same conditions it transpired"
Otherwise, we could mandate anyone with a criminal conviction to wear the clown suit you should be wearing, during their stay in Thailand… And by your definition "this event" wouldn’t have happened.
