It the other way round. When he was PM he told immigration and labor to leave westerners alone as they spent their money in Thailand, not sending it home like others from Asian countries. I never had a problem extending my non-B visa. Only after he was removed by force did it become near impossible to get an extension to your non B visa, student visa, non O visa with-out at least 3 or 4 visits to immigration. I went 3 times with the same paperwork, refused 3 times on the fourth time went with the exact same paperwork as before and got the 1-year extension. By the way the military government proposed the tax on foreigners.NO TAX PENSIONS.

Concert in Kelantan with sexy Thai dancers stirs controversy
Lopburikid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Because it is in the vicinity of a Buddhist Temple and can be clearly viewed. Thai Culture is very strict about women dressing sexually if visiting a temple. It's a bit like eating a bacon sandwich on the steps of a Mosque. -
He is in prison so no access to his riches. Plus have you ever been to the Police Hospital? It was first built in the 1800s, it was first used as a pox hospital mainly for prostitutes. It was revamped by the prince's charity, and turned into a teaching hospital, before it became the RTP Hospital in the 1970s. Thaksin did a lot of things to help the poor and low-income working class and the farmers who were getting ripped off by the rich and powerful in Bangkok. Plus he never ordered the shooting of Thai civilians by the RTA, who NO ONE was ever brought to account for under the military government. Why do you think the minority yellow shirts wanted him out? He has and is doing nothing that all the politicians/ military have done before and after him.

SO YOU think these MPs and police are not using the system to make money. BY the way: under HIS health care plan (when he was PM) it would have cost the taxpayer B300 a day to treat those on NO or low income. The Military government abolished that. He is in a police hospital, which is government funded.

Pubs and bars in parts of Thailand a step closer to 4am closing
Lopburikid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They tried the same in England with night clubs staying open till 4 am, but NO alcohol sales after 2 am. I think that is the Thai authorities intention here. 4am closing but NO alcohol sales after 2am. That's what was on the agenda. It may have changed now. -

Haven't airlines in China announced their intentions to cancel quite a few flights coming to Thailand due to insufficient passengers? -
Breathalyzer tests proposed for Thai nightlife venues
Lopburikid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They're are just suggesting it at the moment. The thing with the Thai government is they say things that have been suggested before they have really thought about it. Like you say, go in for 15 mins have one drink leave straight away, test at the door, over the limit. -

Not only that, they can't set up a crime scene where the body was found. I wonder if they understand how ridiculous this makes the RTP look in the eyes of the world.- 44 replies
