What you can do now is to give his details to the anti corruption police and see him removed from his position.

I think the limit of exemption visas per 180 days is 3. After 3 the entry is refused.

Personally I have the elite visa and I don't feel safe neither, I also live in constant fear of visa problems.

He got a receipt he told me. He stayed in Krabi for 1 night and came back to Bangkok, so in the system he changed his address without reporting.

I'm moving out of Thailand anyway, I already made arrangements. By being a foreigner I feel like a criminal on the run now... They have gone too far.

It's illegal to clean up the beach without a work permit, maybe the gov would have hired a thai to clean up, but now the beach is clean and the thai has no job. This is how they think and it wouldn't be the first time that a foreigner is arrested for volunteer work. I wouldn't risk it.

How can this old men evade the police for 10 years while staying in the country ????

It's insane.

You guys don't care to take taxis with drivers that play candycrush while driving ? Or having drivers that are on yaba ?

A taxi company with a no phone and no drugs policy would do very well I think.

So you know of taxi companies where they are taking drugs during work hours?  Please inform us.

Many many drivers are positive for drugs when tested by the police, it's quite common.

I wonder if there is a taxi company that check their employees with tests and also a no phone policy while driving.

I'm very tired of risking my life each time I take a taxi.

Hello,

I would like to know which taxi companies have drivers that don't play with their phones and take drugs during work hours.

Any recommendation ?

Thanks.

I dread to think what your pound/dollar/euro would be

worth in 10 years. If I could afford it, I'd buy a heap of gold.

Only old people still believe in gold, gold can be made in the lab now, it's worth nothing. Bitcoin is the way to go, and real estate.

In 10 years you could get something like 100% return on that money, instead of keeping it locked in a thai account.

At least with this one there is enough evidence to convict him, his attitude is not acceptable, a year in jail should calm him down.

Arriving in a foreign country with no currency or any proof of accommodation is pretty damn stupid. What did she really expect? 

I got also jailed in Thailand for the same reason and deported back to my country. They didn't give a damn that I had a condo and 4 credit cards with me. They said hotel booking, 20K baht in cash and return ticket mandatory.

Seems normal to me to jail thais abroad when they do the same, now I learned my lesson and I travel with the necessary requirements.

You can do them yourself as a tenant at most offices. A tenant is defined as being a housemaster in the immigration act.

Oh really ? What documents do I need to do this ?

I will leave Thailand following this law too, my landlord is a thai lady and she is getting tired of filling the TM30 each time I go out, I understand her totally and fully. It's a ridiculous law in the sense that someone else than yourself has to be involved, the thai landlord. So this might be my last year in Thailand.

Once I went to a very expensive hospital in Bangkok, I had all the medicines I needed at home but the doctor said she couldn't let me go without selling me medicine because it was the hospital policy. I ended buying paracetamol for something like 1000 THB ! Now I go to other hospitals, bunch of scammers.

Closed our company after we did not need a farang with work permit any more. Contacted our Thai lady who files my wife's taxes, she went down to the local DBD offices, paid 30K. Baht, plus 500 Baht for her time, job done in a day. As we were paying around 20K a month in VAT and accountant charges it was a cheap option that paid for itself in two months.

She didn't close anything then, it doesn't take a day at all. Also many documents have to be signed by the director of the company. Our folder is gigantic. Did you receive the certificate of closure ?

I saw them, I was driving next to them and they did this too, it was 2 or 3 days ago, on the same road. 

I closed my company, it took 1 year but actually was painless. The lawyer did it for me, we had to pay less than 4000 BAHT in "forgotten taxes" and the total cost was approx 100 000 THB. Pretty happy with the end result. As long as you have all your documents in order it's easy to close but it takes time for the revenue department to check all the documents.

The one in the back is always at fault, he should have kept the security distance between his vehicle and the other vehicle. Also, he might have been playing with his phone or looking around instead of being focused on the traffic.

Here, in this topic, someone said he got overstay stamp too for the same reason and immigration officer called it overstay too. My friend has a work permit and he wasn't overstaying but he forgot to do the 90 days report. I actually never had any problem myself with the 90 days report, many times I forgot about it too and never had a single problem. But now I'm doing all my reports following the situation he had.
