I would hazard a guess most Thais are up to their necks in debt and are desperate for a way, anyway to get themselves out of debt. 

 

Obviously gambling is not the answer but they have very few options. 

They certainly give those very few options a go though.

Sex and scamming.

Thai police with tasers would soon stop these idiots

The police would probably be tasering each other while fighting due to someone being promoted, or getting a new police Hilux, or somtam.

You need to pay it every year, and IMHO, that's a very cheap price anyway for a multi-entry business visa, ID card and work permit!

I believe a Non-B in Thailand is around 1 or 2k baht.

Work Permit is free?

Then Yellow Tabien Baan and pink Thai ID card, free? Or a few hundred baht?

Annual extension is 1,900thb.

Plus 3,800thb if you want a multiple entry. 

So yes, 18,000thb is quite steep compared to 1,900thb if you're not travelling outside of Thailand, or 1,900 + 3,800 if you are.

$600 USD, no need to show any documents at all except for my passport and provide 2 photos ????

You need to pay $600, 18,000thb?

Will you need to pay that every year, or a once off and then very cheap extensions thereafter?

She asked why I didnt want a multi entry permit as I get one every year. Told I have had the CNX IMO Muppets and their stupidity on interpretations of TM 30 so going no where any more.

????

That's a bit excessive. 

Refuse to go anywhere out of spite. Because of what.... logging into the TM30 online website or App for 2 minutes when you get back to Chiang Mai??

lol

Line App.

Most people's photos  and/or profile picture can be liked or commented on. Then other contacts of theirs can see who liked it or commented on it. I've seen a few profile pics now that don't have the option to like or comment on.

Or is it automatic that nobody can like or comment on your profile pic?

TIA.

Trafficked.

By getting on a bus to the capital, then selling themselves.

Not saying its correct, but, there are many that adopt the attitude of "if it aint broke dont fix it" and dont adhere to preventative maintenance and just fix things as they arise, as often they cant afford to do regular scheduled servicing.

 

Just look at the tires on local's scooters and motorbikes. 

Balder than a roll-on deodorant. 

Still can use, don't spend money on it. 

Leave Gretaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa alone!

What kind of work do you suppose immigration suspects these people are doing?

Real estate

Tour guide

Translation

Working for a Guest House

Teaching

Any other type of work people do here, albeit illegally without a work permit. 

Not normal table and chairs outside.

Grass, mats, low tables, in a nice garden atmosphere.

Where in Chiang Mai?

They could have made the flag a bit bigger.

It's hard to see it.

Don't be silly. 

So below the surface there was nothing.

Cement is just a grey powder, I prefer to walk on cured concrete.

Stay inside and never leave, not even to the balcony, Thailand's just too dangerous.

Well, look at the oldie grey nomad visa aka retirement visa. Lots of old retired who don't work, study, marry or parent and are on the retirement visa. Guess they are also "absolutely arrogant" too.

Thanks.

But I'm not yet 40. ????

Hopefully a scooter's front wheel next time.

His family must be rich if they bought him a Ferrari worth $200,000 in the US, that sells for $600,000 here. Only a family with stupid money, would do something that stupid.

Well, no.

The sell on value is just as out of proportion. So can sell it for $550,000. Or if it is a limited edition model can sell it for a profit. ????

Who's stupid? 

What was a 10 year old girl doing walking to school alone?

Why was she crossing in the middle of the street and not at a pedestrian crossing?

I am a frequent visitor to Thailand.

 

My previous passport had 5 SETV’s and 1 METV with a few trips back home. The latest being away from Thailand for 2 months.

Doesn't sound like a genuine tourist. 

why are you really spending so much time here?
