Old Croc

enough said Perhaps the language is a little strong, but it's literally what Immigration do.

Those days may be numbered if reports about Immigration crackdowns on agents are correct.

The passport expires in August! Therefore, it still has about 9 months before it's invalid. What's the problem?

A more astute observer would be able to work out that from the position the photo was taken the balcony railing is obscured. The carport, or whatever the tin roof structure is, only allows a view of the upper part of the room and it's door.

I have little patience for pedants who pick one word out of my posts and demand evidence or proof of my opinions. I've lived in Qld and have travelled through that general area on the way to Birdsville.

From the ABC, Australia: Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said late Tuesday that investigators would look at the possible extremist links of the killers after a series of posts under the name of Gareth Train were found on conspiracy theory forums. The posts include references to anti-vaccine sentiments and claims that other high-profile shootings were hoaxes or false-flag operations.

You seem well named.

Do they have tourist hotels in Utah without railings on the balcony? Do you think they would be able to trade like that? From google:

It will be of interest to see what drove these 3 (now deceased) QLD rednecks to start murdering people. A religious sect, a radical political movement, "sovereign citizens"? One would hope it's not a foreign virus spreading to the terminally moronic in countries other than the source.

Another overstayer propping up the Thai economy. Immigration went straight to his house. Hiding out doesn't work well if you tell someone your forwarding address.

Thanks, I'm aware of this, but, in 2010, chose to get processed completely for retirement in Thailand before leaving. This class of visa required police and medical clearances. If my crystal ball had predicted the later advent of the corrupt insurance for A-Os I would have done many things differently.

Why does Thailand need continuing thankyous over an old case? They were acknowledged with gratitude at the time. Bout, an arms dealer, has spent about a dozen years in a US prison. He would have been out by now almost anywhere else. Why the big deal? No sympathies for the idiot drug smuggler except for the way she was used for political purposes. The Marine was detained under Trump's watch and despite his close Russian ties that President never mentioned his name nor sought his release. Perhaps because he was a loser who got captured!

Criminal record checks are not required from, nor automatically made for, applicants for short-term visas at Embassies. If someone is not already on an alert (black) list or Interpol notice they won't be tagged. I came to Thailand on an O-A visa and was required to get a National Police Clearance from my home country which cost in the region of $A100. Tourists won't pay that just for a couple of weeks holiday in Thailand.

MAGA Moron or new troll name?

I have CKD. Was initially at stage 4, now at stage 2 (almost normal for my age). I've had high potassium levels and I now ensure regular checks. This includes creatinine (eGFR), uric acid and electrolytes. Medications can affect potassium levels, but correct diet is important. Check online here is much kidney health information.

How long to wait for something like a hip replacement.? In Australia it could be years through the public health system. That's why most have private insurance. (Then that Private Health Insurance allows ransom seeking hackers access to records. Just found out my health details are on the dark web! Luckily, I left the fund some years ago and my details are mostly out of date.)

Vile racists are everywhere.

Thailand allows entry, visa free or visa on arrival, to almost anyone who presents at a border. Unless the criminal records of almost everyone on the planet have been downloaded into the computers this is impossible.

Most would be too busy treading water to worry about where to holiday.

How long have they been using clamps in Phuket?

As well as a lack of humour are you aware Immigration here are police officers and that is their normal uniform. They all festoon them with as many badges and ribbons as possible. It's a Thai thing.

The wife has an obsession with the chooks, I wouldn't mind a thinning of the flock as long as they don't end up on my dinner plate.

Are you talking about the first photo or the one with the Police Chief's getting publicity at the press conference?

They're not criminals, just innocent overstayers helping prop up the Thai economy.
