So what? I am since 1991 in this country, have seen a lot of crooks in government since then, I think this government is doing a good job and is one of the best in the last 26 years.

I really hope you was being sarcastic... or you really have a curious way to evaluate a government performance.

In fact you can easily and openly buy false or flipping number plates.

 

In reality this activity is illegal but like many things just ignored, resulting in many such business activities becomes very open. 

I don't think this is the case...

Anyone caught doing something illegal and in a case so being so much covered by media, I don't think they would drop charges even if it was littering. I smell something else.

It's called questioning of suspects, done slightly differently to western countries. I would imagine that false number plates being found would be reasonable grounds for questioning.

If they know for sure that those three did use fake licence plates, they must charge them then. But they didn't. Curious, huh?

 They are all a laughing stock... excuses and more excuses.

At this point they could just remove that stupid facade and just tell they will stay as long as they like.

LOL I would really love to know how they make those polls...

"Do you agree that som-tum is a delicious meal?" was the real question, I guess.

And btw... In the article is stated that "39.92% agreed to the new tax rates, while 20.88% disagreed.", that doesn't make the majority agreed on new taxes.

I agree.  Lotus out of aluminum foil last time I went.  The darn computer should stock everything.  What is the problem?

They are out of stock of mineral water in the 6l jar for more than a month now. Only in 1.5l bottles and not always available...

I lost my hopes they will restock anytime soon.

Fresh and affordable, ok. How about just available? I was in the Pattaya North Tesco today and there was no potatoes....

 

Let's work on available, then the other two.

You nailed it. Even in Bangkok, the biggest problem is not really the price or the quality of the grocery, but its availability!

They mean the same roadmap that fixed elections in 2014, then 2015, 2016, 2017 and ad libitum?

"The move is to solve problems of delaying the arrival and departure of Thais, to facilitate travel for Thai nationals, Sansern said.

 

Foreign travellers will still have to fill out the form but it will be adjusted with fewer questions."

 

I fill my card out completely on the plane. Are the Thais waiting to fill the card out at immigration when they are asked for their passport?

 

How about a ATM type ID card for expats with retirement extension of stay or other long term visas? Just swipe while looking at passport.

 

It's a very smart idea, therefore will never be reality here in Thailand.

Great job by the authorities, volunteers and all the people involved. May the two lads rest in peace...

On a side note, I wonder if Thai authorities would have ever performed such a big scale operation on a foreign family request. Not Thai bashing, just out of sincere curiosity.

Makes sense. What doesn't really make sense is why they ever had to fill these out in the first place.

Just control freaks being control freaks...

And the puppet theater show must go on...

Because one was legally chosen by the Thai People

The other took the country hostage with the military

Mine was quite the rhetorical question, so we agree on this.

Both of them are the ruin of Thailand, why cannot compare them?

Maybe if they would care about level of proficiency in English first...

So, they even think that they have the right to prevent the owner/manager of a shop from ordering more goods than usual in order to avoid a tax increase?   Customers do it all the time when they hear that a price increase of a certain product is imminent and shops have the right to try to meet that increased demand.  It is called "business" and it should be of no concern of the authorities, but of course, they want to present an image, as usual, of doing something, even when they have no legal power to do so and in fact do absolutely nothing than present a show of doing so.

Dinosaurs, despite their huge size, have micro brains...

3 years and counting. No reforms done yet. Corruption skyrocketing. Country division maybe got even worse. 

And I don't think penalties are going to change anything.

Disgusting and archaic dinosaurs. I hope and wish they will be all extincted soon.

All the red shirt lovers (and black ones) whining now! The mob were lucky more weren't taken out by the army in 2010! They had plenty of time to obey obey the "law" and stop their violence and obstruction!

Maybe you think someone want to see justice done disregard the color of the victim shirts? (There were photographers and nurses killed too...)

Oh no, I guess is too much of an effort for you other than label people at your convenience...

First Chalerm, now him... What the poor People of Thailand have done so wrong to deserve those?

And not any reprimand for the "professor"...

Nothing has been learned or gained from the democracy process since the beginning, and now things are going way backward.

Dark times...

Guilty guilty guilty bit people are still too stupid to realise, instead trying to include the NCA in their grand conspiracy. Lol

That's your opinion and yet doesn't make who doesn't think in your same way a stupid.

Plus, it's so interesting how 95% or more of your post are all about this topic. Frankly, interesting.

In a Facebook Live interview with The Nation’s founder Suthichai Yoon yesterday, Nathathorn explained that under Thailand’s policy to promote tourism, authorities allow citizens of more than 60 countries to travel to Thailand without a visa, so Thai authorities do not have their information prior to their arrivals.

Why notb ask suggestions to your neighbor Malaysia? They abolished the form years ago and they give 90 days no hassles...

Oh no. But you and your country are SPECIAL...
