Robbery: act of extorting valuables from the victims by force using direct violence or treat of inflicting direct violence

Theft: act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.

I would have been a robbery only if the guy had went into the house blazing a gun or machete in front of the tenants, demanding money and stuffs or else...

RIP Sir. 

Harassing tourists, well done.

Perhaps investigate the maid and her kinship a bit.

I'm actually not in thailand at the moment but considering getting married there and starting a business there. Probably on the futurewife's name and i'd just work there(i'm assuming this would cover the working and paying taxes requirements, correct?).

If I were you, I would seriously reconsider this plan and do some research first on how things work in Thailand "in practice" before getting yourself into anything. 

The issuance of Schengen visa at most EU embassies are suspended now. Only relatives (spose, kid, parent, etc) of EU citizens can apply for visas at these embassies the moment. 

As the general interest in Thailand drops, so does the revenue from advertisements on a platform that delives information about it, naturally.

Good move imho.

Perhaps this will teach the industry and the population in general here that you cannot spit upward without risking it falling back onto your own face.

Value your customers no matter how you despise them because without them your sandy beaches, waterfalls and pubs are just another places where you can just sobbing about your misery. 

The surprising is that it surprises anyone.

It's ok. Foreign tourism makes up only a small 9% of Thai GDP. ????

 

Sometimes you just gotta be amazed by the amount of emptyheadness that some represents here.

Do you think that the whatever percentage of the direct income tourism represents are functioning in vacuum?

you guys know that using all the buzz words surrounding this subject ironically in the eyes of the other side confirms their attitude towards you. 

 

plus snowflake and woke are so 2018. 

 

 

That doesn't mean they cannot do if they wish to, that is the point.

Good to see some humanity is left in Thailand, in general I have found hard working Thais to be compassionate, some up the tree seem to have lost that side of Buddhism.

Because the skillset of being an arrogant selfish selfcentered <deleted> is a basic requirement to get into the "up the tree" position in the first place.

Clowns, both side.

The western coast of the island is almost unrecognizable. It's like a normal chilled tropical island now, nothing like the unfriendly overcrowded tourist-grinder that it was before. Almost all Russians are gone as well.

If you want to experience Phuket for it's own natural beauty now is the time. But if you want to party just forget it.

Who cares anymore...

 Live here for 30 Years, have seen them come and go.

A big blow to democracy? What democracy?
Do you mean democracy when rich people buying their way in politics through vote buying, they promised everything just to stay in power and enrich themself.

I was really happy that the army was there to take them out, again and again.

The last 6 years were for me the most peaceful time in 30 years here, no protests of any color, red, yellow, no dead people, no burning of the city, no corruption.
There is a billionaire again, what you expect?

Democracy? Good luck!

And the wast majority of the population who doesn't care about your comfort nor agree with such sentiments can just go to hell I guess.

What a wonderful post.

How you guys are able to put up with such an intrusion into your private family life is beyond my comprehension.

Would the law apply if thats on private property?

Of course it would. Protection of other's health an life and the obligation for operating dangerous machinery with common sense has priority over protection of people's right on their private property.

Well, at least in countries where rule of law is somewhat enforced and you are not in a country where people can shot you for trespassing.

You realize that there is a difference between western countries and Thailand?

Western countries have a social security system which provides a better life even to illegal people than the life many Thai citizens have in Thailand. A Thai could also earn more money by working illegally in such a country than he could back home. So obviously they want to know that the person will return back to Thailand after their visit, because a Thai citizen might just decide to stay and enjoy the better life.

Thailand on the other side, doesn't provide anything in this regard, so somebody from a western country would return home if he doesn't have money anymore, there is no reason why this person would have to show any proof that he will return home.

Not to mention that in the western countries they don't restricts 95% of the jobs you could qualify for otherwise to only the local citizens.

These kinds of comparisons are quite unintelligent.

The fact that you left your home country where you were socialized to have perception of man-woman relationship that is on a somewhat more modern/developed level and came to a place which has social structure and values that the other side of the world had 200-300 years ago doesn't mean you have to abandon all you have been taught before and accept everything here as part of the host culture.

Just consider how you would think about similar situation in your home country. Usually people pay salary for other people in return for some service or employment. If your girl ask for salary from you and does no other thing for you than being your girlfriend then she is a prostitute.
