    So you simply overpaid since the beginning of days and only fixed that now, that means you didn't save any money, you just stopped losing it for no reason.

    In part, you are right.

    But when I selected my previous package, many years ago, I made lots of ordinary phone calls, sent SMS, etc..

    I looked at that time what suits my usage and I selected that.

    I should/could have switched earlier to something cheaper...

     

    The funny thing that I remember is when I selected my last package, maybe 10 years ago, there were many cheaper options available.

    Now, the opposite seems to be true. Many new packages are way more expensive than what I had. And on my DTAC app nothing cheaper was shown. Only after some "investigation" I found out that cheaper packages do exist.

     

    I find it sad that many people will pay a lot more than they should for all these "recommended" and "special for you" packages.

    It would be interesting to see how many locals work in those jobs in different countries.

    It seems in some countries many of the sex workers are from other countries.

    If expell, or even warned, he has grounds to raise concerns in the UN, Thailand has an obligation, being a signatory. 

    Next time when you see someone smoking in a bar, go to the local police and complain.

    Maybe that will help you to understand the difference between principles and reality.

    Hany on, isn't Thailand a member of the UN.

    Article 19

    Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

     

    Anyone know how to contact the relevant UN office

    It seems in Thailand he has that right.

    And Thailand has the right to extend his visa or not...

    Very few realize thailand is a demecratic dictatorship, and this is what comes with a dictatorship, no free speach, but they are kind enough to give you a gentle warning with a smile, and tell you the consequences you are facing if you continue. 

     

    Soft ditatorship

    And then there is that land of the free, where politicians from the left and the right want to censor what all those bad people, the others, say... 

    The call it cancel culture.

  6. Is there a law that foreigners and especially tourists can't criticize their hosts? I don't know.

    But it seems most of us don't like it if foreigners talk bad about our home country or maybe people from our nationality or whatever group.

     

    And that is similar to i.e. a company. Is it possible to tell the boss that he has strains on his shirt? Yes. But better do it in private with him alone and not in a post on facebook or similar. That doesn't win you any friends.
