Thai Woman Says Israelis Are Treating Koh Samui Locals Abusively and Taking Over the Island
August 28, 2026
Local residents and business operators in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Phuket are pushing back against disruptive groups of Israeli tourists whose entitled behavior, harassment, and refusal to respect local customs have triggered widespread community outrage.
As highlighted by @free.palestine_thailand , a Thai woman argues that local workers and business owners have grown increasingly frustrated by abusive interactions and a perceived lack of respect for Thai people and local customs.
Every visitor is welcome. Entitlement is not.
Tourism should be built on respect, not dominance. No visitor has the right to make local people feel like strangers in their own home.
