Thai PM Urges Crackdown on Foreigners Who Disrespect Local Laws
Anutin Charnvirakul calls on provincial governors to enforce laws against foreigners accused of exploiting or intimidating Thai citizens, according to Anadolu Agency.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has issued a strong rebuke to foreigners he described as disrespectful toward Thailand, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
In remarks cited by the news agency, Anutin told such individuals to "go and die back home," using the phrase as part of a broader call for stricter enforcement against foreign nationals who mistreat or intimidate Thai people.
The prime minister urged provincial governors across the country to make full use of existing legal measures targeting foreigners accused of exploiting or intimidating local residents, Anadolu Agency reported.
The report did not specify particular incidents that prompted the comments, nor did it provide further details on the scope of the legal measures Anutin referenced. Anadolu Agency did not report any immediate response from foreign governments or diplomatic missions in Thailand.
Thailand hosts a significant population of foreign residents and tourists, and the country's authorities have periodically taken action against foreign nationals accused of violating local laws or customs.
