The author of the article is talking rubbish !! Typical Thai are the best ideas. Thailand only did what any country in the world would do if they had a red warning from Interpol out for a criminal. No more or less. Maybe he should read the articles about Thailands red light districts, the lack of social security, the corruption in high places , the poverty behind closed doors ? Or has he read too many of these international front page news articles. ?

Immigration Police to Revise Visa Extension Criteria
geisha replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I stayed in Jomtien and often wondered how whole families could stay there, kids don’t go to school, elderly grandparents, obviously not rich, so what visas are they getting ?? -
Well, I think a lot of you have very violent natures. How anyone can think that a thief deserves to die , that it’s his own fault for dying , is beyond any decency and any understanding. ( apparently he was an addict and had mental problems), I’ve been robbed in Europe at home, attacked in Thailand , I’d never wish anyone dead. The cannabis owner obviously had « friends », and could have restrained the man without kicking him until the police came.

So what do vegetarians have for Xmas lunch generally ? That would help knowing.

I needed lactose free milk. Bought it, absolutely disgusting taste, yellowy color and thick. Why, lactose free should be very very similar taste as normal milk ?? I threw it away, thought it was off. Tried more after and it was the same awful stuff. I’ve been using it for ages in France/ Italy , lots of places and it’s fine.

Why are you all on about the pensions ?? As many have said, there’s a lot more to this story. Immigration can see if she’s here on holiday or not, when she entered , doctors can tell when she was amputated, possible where, what the burns are, bed sores or not. I’m quite sure a front page story in Thai newspapers would have info if she lived in Thailand. Name search by Thai Police . There was a story a few years back about an unknown man found in London, he had Alzheimer’s. He was dressed in brand new clothes and shoes and had no identity papers. He was put in a home and the nurses took great care of this poor old soul. Eventually it was found that he’d been brought to UK by his American family, abandoned, as , ( their story) they couldn’t afford the care needed in the US. Heartbreaking, can’t remember the outcome but he was a long time in UK. lots of possibilities concerning this poor lady. They’ve probably got more info by now.

This is where education comes in. The Thai kids I know are a catastrophic. Daughters of my best friend went to uni ,, and still can only manage a few words. The boys I see coming home from school all have bottles of beer in their hands There is no getting away with it, Thailand will never become important internationally , high end jobs will not be filled, until they have mastered English. It’s important the world over. My take on Indians and Burmese, I find their English very good ! Before Covid I visited Myanmar regularly and find they are very proficient in English, and even in India where I’ve spent a long time in the past . Most Thai kids will actually ignore you if you ask them a question in English.

Next time you book an Airbnb, ask for the screenshot of your arrival immediately, saying you are going to immigration the next day. A neighbour of mine did this in Phuket , got his screenshot the same day. Some people earn a lot of money through Airbnb legally, and don’t want to be reported to the company. Ask before you book anywhere in Thailand. Really, it is up to you to know these things, especially where immigration is concerned.

Falun Gong was never a dangerous sect. It was even accepted in China, until it became too big and frightened the leader of the communist party ! Who apparently put a stop to it, arrested and tortured thousands of its members , who were also used as medical donors , the same as many other prisoners in China.

Don’t consider it unless you like trouble. -
I did the day trip to Ayutthaya trip. It was very relaxing and picturesque.
