  • A Thai activist group protested outside the ‘Israeli’ embassy over unruly behavior by ‘Israeli’ tourists.

Members of the Thai nationalist group "Thai Intolerance Team" staged a protest outside the 'Israeli' Embassy in Bangkok Monday, delivering a formal letter demanding that 'Israeli' tourists and residents respect local Thai laws, customs, and culture following repeated reports of misconduct. 

Addressing the 'Israeli' ambassador and 'Israeli' nationals directly outside the diplomatic mission, a representative for the group delivered a sharp warning against continued disregard for local norms. 

“Israeli ambassador and your people, when you don't respect Thai people and Thai law, don't hope that you will get your honor back," the spokesman for the group declared outside the embassy gates. "If you have problems, you can meet me."
