From time to time Australia+ network runs series "The Embassy", showing Australian embassy in Bangkok and the wide variety of "situations" they help citizens with. Would be amazing if the US embassy (and British, judging from complaints posted here) treated it's citizens so well.

This is absolute B_S show When real help is requested all you get is the standard "oh it's a legal matter sorry can't help "

When the police illegally take your passport and demand 200k for it's return you get told 'sorry it's a police matter'Thats the REAL help you get not the B-S stuff they show on TV 

Assisting Travellers, what about Expats who have  been orted by corrupt Patong coppers not much help at all  there my friend  Just take the easy way and assist travellers, absolute disgrace

"Thais are outraged "at 35000 people killed on the road each year ?? No No at some idiot monks love life. Typical Thai perspective

In this case a company called Reuters. Most of us in the business regard them as fairly reliable.

 

I know it pains some of you, but tourism is doing pretty well too. Hint: if you want to crap on the Thai economy (and there are currently some good reasons to do so) then look beyond the tourism industry. It's a fairly small part of the GDP -- about 10% -- but so far it's been enough to keep the economy growing slightly. 

Tourism is doing well ??? so the figures say 

Who do these figures ?? Same ones who do the Tourism numbers ??

Imbeciles could not catch a cold 

Thank You to everyone for the advice will let you know the outcome soon

Hi Everyone

Short story is the wife was arrested and charged with working in the wrong place as her Employer was changing locations and had not changed the address on the work permit.Finger printed,photographed and jailed paid "Bail" of 20k which went to 50k when the Consul got involved.After court was done 2k fine BUT passport was retained by police who now say passport has to go to Immigration and could be deported for a 2k fine which was not even her fault

Advice Appreciated

No No Not Patong Police
