What the OP is suggesting amounts to child abduction.

A crime which is Internationally condemned.

All Mum has to do is to declare her child "missing" or "stolen" and the OP will rapidly find an International arrest warrant chasing him .

Why is it reported? Wow, what an insensitive question. A 4 year old shooting a 4 year old is should be extremely heartbreaking no matter what side of the gun debate your are on. One family grieving the loss of a toddler and the other raising a child that may be emotionally scarred for life from seeing what he or she did. Children that age understand more than we like to believe.

This is what some bring upon themselves.

Leaving loaded guns lying around ?

Loaded guns that children can easily access ?

These "Adults" need removing from society and locked up for life.

Live children should be removed and placed with safe, non gun possessing , adoptive parents .

Nothing "insensitive" about the truth !

"But the reality is that in many other countries, the immigration does not stamp a date you need to leave by when you enter the country"

True ............which could result in a world of trouble if one overstayed !

Thailand, on the other hand, are very helpful in indicating exactly how long an individual is permitted to stay !

However ....... for example, last time I entered the USA the stamp given by the immigration officer clearly indicated I was allowed a 90 day stay --------------Guess that is OK for the USA and not for any other country ?

Always wise to check what is entered in ones passport !

What would you suggest we discuss?

The results !

It's early days on the polling front so cast vote if you haven#t already done so.

Ok, I have voted and look forward to the discussion on how old people are.

Well, not so much the discussion itself perhaps, that's likely to be something like "I'm 50" with responses like "I'm not, I'm 49" but i do look forward to seeing if there will actually be a discussion.

I look forward to this "intelligent" and thought provoking "discussion"

I believe we can all agree that some are older/younger than others .

Do not bother to awake me for this mind boggling debate !

A juvenile and rather sad post !

Some really are gullible and naive.

I'm 50

What would you suggest we discuss?

It's early days on the polling front so cast vote if you haven#t already.

For what reason and for what purpose ?

Helmut? You wan to bring a German dude back from Canada with you? Ok, whatever floats your boat.

...a German dude won't fit in a suitcase... alt=laugh.png pagespeed_url_hash=4020895376 width=20 height=20>

A small one just might fit !

Buying a Condo in Pattaya in my foreign name.!

How many names does the OP have ?

Just asking !

What is the purpose of this "poll ?

Provincial mosque?

When will the provincial cathedral be done?

Why would one be needed --------------?

The ignorance and bigotry of some is truly spectacular

No. What is missing is the amount of time you are allowed to stay before you need to leave or extend. That information is on the web or in other documents, but not on the visa itself. All other visas I've received from other countries have an issue date, a last day to enter and the length of time you are allowed to stay. And I've traveled to 25 countries and never got confused as to when I need to leave. Thai tourist visa's don't have the length of time you are allowed to stay on the actual visa itself. So when I asked the Kuala Lumpur embassy person who gave me the visa when I needed to leave Thailand or how long I could stay, she simply said it was the same day as the last date to enter. In some ways its true, but its much trickier because I'm paying an overstay fine for not leaving or extending by 60 days and not the actual 90 days that the visa is good for. Her English wasn't very good, so she didn't explain that you must look at the date stamped when you arrive as to when you need to leave or extend. Other countries, the last day to enter is the same as the last day to extend or leave.

If you didn't notice, I'm a native speaker of English, so no need to be insult me. No need to cancel out your good karma for the post you gave me trying to help clarify the issue for me.

If as is claimed , an "experienced" traveler would check what an immigration officer had stamped in the passport.

It is entirely the immigration officers decision as to how long anyone is allowed to stay ------in any country.

Failing to check an entry stamp is a personal failure ------nothing to do with "visas" , immigration or competency in the use of English.

Guess my "karma" is now exhausted !

Why not just obtain a "Celta " and teach "English" in your own country of origin?

With the "degree" and the "Celta" teaching "English" at home would bring more status, a better salary and the opportunity of career progression !

Is there any reason why this would not be a viable option ?

Muslims are already here, mosques popping up, and the trouble they bring with them has already started in the South. Happens everywhere they go and get established -- everywhere. So sad (and disturbing) to see it happening in Thailand.

Always good to be well informed !

Go here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Thailand#History

There will be mass wailing, tears, candlelit vigils , an emotional funeral followed by a memorial service.

After all that is over a done with nothing will change !

Americans have "rights" !

Guns and there possession are the number one US religion .

Non - Payment will hopefully provide significant "education" .

Perhaps these "poor" people will realise that they have been scammed and used while their "hero's" become ever richer as a result of the "poor" peoples labour.

A double entry TR + 30 extension equals 90 days..how does this become '6 months'?...unless there's a typo I'm becoming even more confused. 555

A DOUBLE entry tourist visa = 60+30 for the first entry and 60+30 for the second entry ! Total = 180 days possible stay !

Still confused ?

Just check seafood prior to consumption with a

Geiger counter !

Easy !

So there is no disenfranchised "underclass" living in your democratic country of origin ?

If such a group does in fact exist in this "wonderful" democratic country what is being done to provide people with real history and facts, better education and health care, thus enabling the "underclass" to get stronger. ?

Escapism =

" An habitual diversion of the mind to purely imaginative activity or entertainment as an escape from reality or routine"

Does that fit your bill or does your "imagination "extend" to reality ?

Been a couple of shootings, a couple of non-fatal bombs that have made the Army prick up its ears but I think everyone knows these were orchestrated by the military wing of the PDRC to goad the Army into intervention.

You have evidence to support that assertion ?

I visited one of the sites for the first time tonight - and it looked and sounded like propaganda and mob rule to me. There's some parallels even if the whistle design was an unfortunate accident.

You of course speak an understand Thai so you will be telling EXACTLY what was being said ?..

My Thai is better than your written English.

Delighted to hear that !

My Apologies for the typo.

We are awaiting your verbatim interpretation of what was said at the "site" attended tonight !

Quick

That's a scary photo for people with European roots.

What a sad , pathetic comment .

Someone needs to return home ........quickly ...........before the paranoia really becomes established.
