I started a thread last week about safety for women tourists in Thailand which drew the usual nay-sayers ("What's gay about this?"). The Thai government has now decided they need to be seen to be doing something, according to today's Bangkok Post, following the murder of yet another tourist (also not gay, apparently - sorry about that, nay-sayers all)
