Hi guys,
I am not posting often, and I did some weeks ago about the same kind of matter.
I really do not understand why so people are questioning the Thai law regarding the Indian man to be deported.
When coming to live in Thailand, we all new the rules of the game. So, just play by the rules... ;-)
I am living here for 10 years, I am French and until the end I will be a French.
I am not Thai, I am not williing to become Thai, and I do not think that Thai government really wants me to become Thai.
And what?
I have never felt that Thailand doesn't want me as a resident, as long as my behaviour is respectful of Thai laws, and more generally respectful of Thailand and Thai citizens.
Doing that? No problem ;-)
I have a Thai wife, Thai friends, Thai colleagues.
I have opportunities to meet Thai people here and there. And one more time, I have no problem.
I should say, I do not have more problems that I could face in France.
Ok. I know that some of you will think that I am bothering and surely not matching with their opinion. Sorry
I will tell them that as a French citizen, I am absolutely not happy with migrants coming to my country only to take advantage of our social care system while not respecting our institutions.
Yes, we are foreigners, surely uninvited ( nobody asked us to come ). So, we are guests only
What is wrong with this? It doesn't mean bad at all. We simply aren't Thai citizens... And as foreigners, there are rules that we must follow.
For instance, we should not involve in private matters. Current protests and government supports are Thai private matters.
I will not want people to tell me how I must manage my family and private life. Surely, no one could come in my house to tell me where to set the fridge ;-)
Please, we are Foreigners.
Let's act like Foreigners. Just respect Thai people by not involving in their private matters.
Support our beloved. Try to bring calm where we see nervous situations. Try to lead our Thai friends to think by themselves rather than to just follow the crowd ( whatever the color ).
If we think that Foreigners, by their long history about democracy, can help Thai people to have a better vision of their future, just talk to them.
This above sentence should be re-checked, specially about history and democracy in western countries. Hehehehe.
As Foreigners, we should not be involved nor in protests not in opponents to protesters.
Just stay neutral, and live a clam life with our Thai family and friends.
All of this is a simple and calm reaction to what I read here and there.
I am very surprised by the so strong positions taken by some of our blog friends...
Cheers,
Claude
PS: Sorry for my poor English. French are not very good for that ;-(
Why did they write to Obama then? I note they didn't write to Hollande?
He's been a little tied up, or maybe he was doing the tying, recently....
Dear blogger,
Should I enter in your game by trying to find whatever stupid answer in a way to kick you, or should I just try to explain to you that your answer is miles from the topic and from a well educated adult trying to exchange some points of view with fellow foreigners living in Thailand.
Finally, I will skip the 2 possibilities, as I unfortunately feel ( maybe am I wrong ) that you will not be able to understand....
Cheers,
Claude ( the Frog )

I personally think that, as foreigners being guest in this country, we shouldn't involve in national matters that we mostly do not understand.
1- We have accepted (for different personal - good - reasons) to have no domestic right.
2- Paying taxes and spending money here didn't change our blood. None of us can become Thai nor can "think Thai"
3- Even after 10 or 20 years here, we will not understand totally the positions of each side.
4- If we want Thai people to respect us, let's start to be respectable. Let's be out of these national matters concerning Thais only.
5- Whatever the government is or will be, if we want to live in Thailand we must follow the rules.
6- If we are not happy, so let's go back to our countries and be fine there ;-)
I am totally against the foreigners who are taking position for this color or against that one, blablabla.
This is kid game played by old kids who have nothing to do in Thai people stories.
I am sure that most of Thai people do not appreciate this kind of behavior from some farangs...
My wife is Thai.
I share some of her points of view, I disagree with some others. I talk with her and try to help her comparing different possibilities, avoiding straight and strong positions.
At the end of the day, I will always back her (and protect her) just because she is my wife, and also because she is bright and totally involve in a positive social life.
But I will never go to protest in the streets, nor I will take any political position in public.
It doesn't mean that I cannot be an observer and have my own analysis of the country and current situation.
But I do know that can understand only a very small part of the problem.
This is my own way to show respect to Thai people who have welcomed me, and to give them a good picture about foreigners as well. As I told above, if we want to be respected we should start first to be respectable.
Any country out of mine that I have visited, I have never got any trouble with local people.
I can hear and read so many complains from foreigners here that I often wonder why they stay in Thailand...
Why do they want to get more trouble by involving in Thai private matters?...
Cheers ;-)

Hi Robert,
I am living in Thailand.
Asked few info about e-Cigarettes on the forum some weeks ago.
Got answers and I have contacted @E-CIG ( check on Thaivisa website )
Contact is Tieng.
I ordered 3 different batteries e-Go like ( no brand name ) + some juices.
Absolutely no problem. Everything is OK.
I have to tell that Tieng is a very nice and friendly person.+, I T/T the amount for my order and received the package 2 days later. Great.
Hope it will help you.

Hi Guys,
I am new in this forum.
I've been smoking 2 packs a day for years. Always scaring to be short in stock. Able to drive some kilo to go buy a box...
During my last trip to France 2 weeks ago, my old friend introduced me the E-Cig.I went to buy a kit (eGo-T) and started immediately, just to try...
The first week I still bought a pack of cigarettes ( for the week ).
This week, I have not smoked one single cigarette, ad guess.... I do not need.
I feel like when I was smoking my pipe some years ago, without the heat of tobacco and without the smelling juice to clean.
I do think that I will go on like this.I already feel that I can breath better, and surely I do not carry the smelling "perfume" of cold tobacco.
My lonely concern is to find save liquid ( I have bought a stock of liquid made in France before I left ).
Cheers.
Claude
