what happened to the closing down of these "camps" ? Seriously, I thought the UNHCR and NGOS were pulling out . wasn't it sometime last year?  some have lived there upwards of what 30 years ? how can they be classified as refugees ? this should be the last straw , Thailand has tolerated this far to long.  

HUH ?

That's very surprising because it's Thai government policy to rotate government workers every few years: public prosecutors, judges, teachers, MoE staff, MoT staff, administrative staff of all kinds, medical staff, and certainly the officers who work in my local immigration office too. It's also frequent in the private sector, notably banks.

 

I'm not saying that all government workers get rotated every 2 or 3 years, but I know  many that have been, and I know for a fact it's policy.

 

In the UK the Prime Minister and the Minister for Home Affairs have explicitly instructed immigration officers to create a "hostile environment" for would be immigrants. Thank goodness Thailand is so welcoming by comparison.

 

But it's true that many people who wear uniforms seem to get off on the power it confers. Chin up my friend.

 

Huh ?

No

My point ( which you appeared to have missed ) is that tourist scams go on all over the world, they are by no means unique to Thailand.

you just don't get it. no one cares  if it happens all over the world, I am sure they do already know. people are talking about issues in Thailand ,because...... this is a Thailand specific forum not an international forum.  therefore comments are ........   unless your one of the foreigners who are living in a foreigner bubble, there is living in Thailand and then there are the ones who make the appearance of living in Thailand. ( the bubble effect ).

Are you suggesting thailand is the only place with taxi scams / jetski scams?

 

Very naive.

Most likely because we are in a Thailand forum ? that should have been obvious.  

most likely Prickly heat from the hot weather, buy this powder.....

I hope someone here can clear this up for you , because I am almost positive the deadline is sometime this month , and they have not as yet decided to extend another round of covid extensions.

isn't Nov. 24 th the deadline for this round of Covid extensions ?

yes

There is nothing in a Thai village for a white guy except madness, excess alcohol and despair..

But for a Thai wife, there is gambling, former lovers/husbands, relatives and all sorts of potential naughtiness.

 

Best for a foreigner to live somewhere far away (with or without the Thai wife).

Thats a good reason not to marry a Thai
