And modifies the qualifying renewal requirements for those that are already retired there, without due regard for those unable to meet the new requirements. 

Really only new requirements is:

- amount of time you need to keep money in the the bank....

which provides proof that you do hold that money, instead of just some BS income letter

This has been pointed out SO many times but people still dont get it.

Of course if you NEVER had 800/400k baht to start with, but still (SOMEHOW)  managing to get many yearly extensions,

sure its gonna be a problem.

Funny, so many posters here

cry about PC,

crying to mods if someone challenge them,

report people,

invite to my ignore list (lol)

cite laws that others break,

Actually for years, these same guys take every chance to ask:

 "have he got a work permit for doing that"

(everytime someone is doing something to help themself or Thais)

Now many of these same posters been caught out and quite obviously been breaking a very BIG law for many years.

hmmm what goes around comes around hey?

maybe Thailand gonna invite you to their ignore list.

The only way Don, or anyone else in similar circumstances, could force the hand of the Thai authorities, is to overstay a few days, then ring all the media outlets and arrange for them to be there when he hands himself in and is detained.

 

With the right headline, a story like that will go global, and this may shame the Thai's into some change.

 

Problem is, at 90, Don probably would not survive detention. 

if it were me id just say "lets call the whole thing off"

and hope for the best

wouldnt need be travelling out of the country at that age

 depend on where he lives the authorities most probably wouldnt come after him and haul him away.

what are they gonna do? 

Put him in detention centre at 90y.o?

and its even a bigger PR and logistic problem to repatriate

probably if he was up nakon nowhere they would have turn the blind eye and nobody annoy him

but now hes gone public who knows

What percentage of the 0.0036% of the population do you think would be most effective?

 

Because that's the proportion of western expats in Thailand's population.

yes but AFAIK immigration only deal with us alien farangs, not the whole Thai population.

I had a very old shirt with the union jack on it ready for the bin. 

But Gf thought its a good idea to use as a mat for everyone to wipe feet when go into house.

next day her relatives are sleeping all over the living room floor so much that i had to step over one them to get to the kitchen.

thought i had started ww3.

sorry to disappoint you and you theory, it may be the case with some girls but not all.

 

i met a lady in a bar about 15 years ago all she wanted was to meet a good farang man i ask her many details about her life her parents were ok for money all her sisters either had their own line of business or had good jobs and i stayed in touch with her up until now. she met a man from the uk here, he lived here she then stayed with him no demands for money or anything like that ive met him also and they are both very happy. her reason for working bar was never about money sorry if ive spoiled your week.

not at all. maybe your English is not good, or my writing English is not good because i actually defend the ones others have called hookers,

but my point is dont brand them all hookers. thats all

 for sure, when a Thai girl has REALLY good English and their English even

better than some former prime ministers..

lol

what does it tell you?..

 either

1. studied/ lived abroad.

2. have an exceptionally good education.

3. been with xxx farangs!

And im sorry if i spoil your theory but actually if some of them speak better English than some former Thai prime ministers than you really must wonder about it!

Feed her family, or feed her shopping/drug habit.

 

if that were really true, how then do the other 98% of Thais who don’t resort to sex work feed their families? how do fat girls survive? how do males survive? 

 

They get a real job. Prostitutes in all countries are greedy and lazy,or have drug habits.

Thailand is no different. There are plenty of opportunities here to get ahead, which is why millions of Cambodians and Laotians and Burmese work in Thailand.

 

i also not I have never seen a starving thai, there is food everywhere. Plenty of other ways to feed a family.

yes, you are right. no one ever truelly  starves here but that is a testament to how they treat the poor who cant work.

If you ever been in Isaan, you know the quality of education and how many can afford a (useless-and only paid for) university degree in bangkok..

and all else not born in a good Chin family will earn 300baht a day as servents..

so what would you do?

As a guy, if females were lining up to throw money at you for sex what will you do?

rather work on a rice paddy for 200baht a day + food and 1 bottle of Leo?

why they not go after the companies and people that helped him?

im sure he didnt dream the concept and built it himself?

yes, its the same old story, he is stupid for believing thais who told him 

" yes, can do, no problem"

Really you have to cringe EVERY time some stupid farang outlays money in a ridiculous project in Thailand.

I really dont know whats worse,

-not doing research and believing the Thai con men or even worse..some woman with a 6th grade education

or

- thinking you are the big farang whos gonna make a lot of money.

but this project was never gonna get to far in this political climate.

its probably the most ridiculous and stupid idea (or con) ive ever heard and i have heard many

It'll be fine - until she used up all your money; hears the word "no"; and you don't mind her selling herself to other men and have other "boyfriends" on the go.

 

Good luck.

and this to explain the huge difference in thinking. 

you would laugh if she told you dont go home to work in the mines for big money, because its dangerous, right?

actually, You trying to push your morals (where you come from a safe welfare state) onto someone who have no other way of feeding their family.

In her mind really you are saying " its ok for me to go earn money but not for you because what you do is bad"

in the same regard many girls will probably think:

" you dont want to support me financially, yet you dont want me go making money any way i can either"

So you are another expert with no experience.  Would you go to a doctor who only had an education through hearsay?

 

Divorce rate in America is 50% and you lose most everything.  Seems to me marriage to a bar girl in Thailand has better odds.

Yes, a lot better odds in that you can dissapear without a trace and not have some court settlement/ have income garnisheered by a court  after just living with them.

Can even dissapear from Bkk and youll probably never see her again.

other than that, staying with them long term its a battle putting up with BS and constant childish tantrums and demands for money.

of course, they know very well you can dissapear any time and there is a "superannuation" thinking factored in on how much they must get out of guys while they are young looking and not burnt out.

it a game for us and business for them

and you need to turn it around.

the smarter guys know they can have fun, learn the language real good then

if she cost to much, dissapear and look for a "good girl/good job" etc

just a word of warning, the wrong "good girl" gonna cost you 10x more than a bargirl as they have even higher expectation/maintenance cost!!

The thai military is only capable of oppressing it's own people.

They can not control a real combatant force such as those in the south.

 

well i can only say, this "Big Joke" character is like the Thai version of batman and doesnt even need a Robin.

they should really test his mettle and send him south to sort it all out!

I dont think many care about history of who did what in whoevers, and whatever country in history.

get over it.

The fact remains, the Thailand South has always been a danger spot and the same old groups causing the same trouble and using the same excuses for their murderous behaviour for many years..

when the rest of Thailand ARE tolerant and really just want to live in peace.

Im really suprised the whole Thai military dont just swarm on the whole south and go through them house by house, deporting the bad guys to a country where they are invited to practice their Sharia law or whatever suits their religion.

The peace loving world must really have enough of them by now and one must wonder if the real reason for the trouble is this crowd are NOT GIVEN everything FOR FREE, like there cousins in certain European countries.

Does anyone have a immigration website link that explain what they must do, and is in Thai language?

they obviously think people are working illegal.

No - that is just an excuse.  The OP could mop floors in Poland and make more than working an illegal job in Thailand.  They might stamp his passport with the "came to work illegally" stamp - but usually they just claim to have telepathically accessed his fiances, and "know" he doesn't have the funds to support himself in Thailand (in this case, for 30 days).

Ok, like i ask another poster..

why do you think they will deny one certain person and not the other?

Im sure many 1000s might have a repeating visa history same as him, but pass through without a problem.

not doubting what you said, im just always ask myself why they single out the people they do? 

must have some particular reason or other evidences that worry them?

Where did you dream this? Millions of tourists arrive in Thailand every year without a visa, they are entitled to a visa-free stay and they get it.

The problem is that the OP had been spending 10months/year with TV, not that he arrived this particular time without one. I think the IO were right to question his purpose, although of course they could have done it with a more open exchange of information.

In the end, he is flying to KL, which is not expensive and will probably give him a chance to enter Malaysia and maybe try Thailand again, depending on what they stamp on his passport, so he is not too unlucky.

i dont think you read what i wrote after the bit you highlited.

I talk about people going back after have many repeating VEs and SETVs already, not the "one time" tourist.

From all reports on this site, all the people who got denied entry (excepting for 1-2)

all try to come in using Visa Exempt method.

and all going to Don Muang airport and ALL have a long tourist history in passport.

not being argumentive, but what is your explanation for why they would deny certain people and not others?

the many 1000s of others that pass through every day?

The OP states that he had a flight ticket out within 30 days..

Yes you would think that would be ok,

so therfor now there can be no doubt the biggest NO-NO is to turn up without a visa. 

especially after having many previous entry or other VEs.

they obviously think people are working illegal.

If even having a return ticket no longer satisfy IMMs, then the airlines will have to check that every passenger going to Thailand already have a visa.
