So you would proudly wear one in the unlikely event this idea catches on and is expanded...noted.What an insanely sad bunch the commenters on TV are. You cannot help but see the very worse in every situation, and every situation somehow reminds you of Nazi Germany 75 years ago.

I believe Silk Road is on Chaiyapruek 2. A bit expensive, but a great village. Your best bet is to just cruise up and down the road looking for villages, then pop in and ask the manager what's available. I know in our village, many rentals are not listed with agents, only the onsite manager.
On Huay Yai road are a few nice villages. Baan Balina 2 and 3. Definitely worth checking out.
What's your price range?
I paid 35k a month for a two bed house but security was top notch, village quiet with trees everywhere, would not think twice about living there again if I ever moved back down that way.

Chaiyapruek 2 area, or near there.
I've seen in previous posts, TV members have mentioned good agents. A name or 2 of an agent would be appreciated.
Silk road place on chaiyapruek 2, lived there a year and really enjoyed it. They have an agent on site as you enter on the right.

It seems that our commenter(s) here have much in common with the average Thai, and have no working understanding of the Nazi movement, or the policy of requiring their own citizens (of Jewish decent) ... to wear the Yellow Star of David)
None of the people with the wrist bands are to be stripped of their material possessions, thrown from their homes, herded into ghettoes, starved and used in salve labor camps, and eventually systematically exterminated.
It is a rather long stretch to employ this historical reference, in very poor taste, inaccurate and disrespectful to both Holocaust victims, and Thailand's decision makers.
We can debate the efficacy of this "wristband" idea ... but with the world community (rightly) complaining about the horrid human trafficking record in SEA, this is their idea of a quick and "Bureaucratic Lite" solution.
Yes, one could forge the wristbands, but the wearer would then face dire consequences when that is discovered. (Note to the seller of fake wristbands, these people drop dime at the count of three)
I know it is impossible for anyone to do anything in Thailand that does not solicit swift derision from the All Knowing Thai Visa Thai Bashing Boardroom above the Clouds.
Would any of you boy geniuses like to climb down from Cloud 9 and tell us how the Thai Government can quickly and easily begin to track those migrants who are allowed to cross the border much more easily than any Farang Expat?
Do you understand that there is genuine fear in the hearts of these people to be found here without proper documentation, and this Wristband thing ... just might get a lot of folks to register pronto - presto?
As for the human traffickers, it certainly might be a dark day to be found with a dozen "Sorry, no wristband" folks in your van.
But, I forgot. EVERY Thai idea is a bad one.
Funny, seems like Thai Visa is long on whining, and very short on solutions.
Sorry do you have a bullet point version of this thesis? Some of us are busy.

A few spare of these might come in handy if one had ill intentions and wanted to blame an action on a migrant worker? Silly me that would never happen...must be the heat.

"This comes from your self appointed PM......"This comes from your self appointed PM who has everyone looking down someone elses back. Now these idiots are just looking for anyone who is doing anything out of the Thai way and want to report it to the authorities. Read 1984.
What is this? I fail to see how the government is involved in a story about a disgruntled Thai posting a complaint, about 4 Chinese tourists playing cards at the airport, on social network.
The AOT had to say something in response and did.
Eric Blair's book doesn't cover everything mate.
Don't mind Bob
The other day he was blaming a pizza on a self appointed chef.

Most of the bottle type packaged sewage plants here were copied from a design I invented 30 years ago. There is no problem with normal toilet tissue being placed into the sewage system. It actually breaks down into very small pieces that act as sites for colonies of bacteria to digest the waste products. I haven't emptied my septic tank in 15 years.
Impressive~ do you have that slogan on your name card lol

Pardon my ignorance...what is a credit default swap? In the context of a simple car loan?
I think he means the finance company tries to increase the purchase price of the car to recoup their missing / lost payments from the original purchaser.
So if you buy from a used car lot / tent dealer, these costs are built into the selling price.
I am lost here (not the first time lol) but I negotiated the price of my truck directly with the tent and only after that did we get finance involved. Price didn't change.

Come on ace, don't take no rocket scientist to figure out replace the brakes on a Bentley costs more than replacing the entire front end of a civic.
