BANGKOK: A stressed Thai national’s assault on Malaysian tourists further shakes confidence in Thai tourism, with ATTA urging the government to clearly communicate safety measures, while the Tourism Ministry pledges full care and compensation until the victims can return home.
Following the assault of two Malaysian tourists in Bangkok’s Ratchadamri area on the night of Aug 7, 2025, in which a stressed Thai national reportedly poured thinner on the victims, the Thai tourism industry has voiced concern over the country’s safety image.
