Not really the safest way for a woman to act in a third world country.

or a first or a second..or any world....IMHO.

I hope to god that the phoenix doesn't need a visa of any kind, or just to retire peacefully and be with friends and family without being sent on a visa/permit/extension merry go around... (by the way, i'm sure that 9 thais out of 10, including immigration personal will not know what a phoenix is..)

..it's a Dodge.

Stop blaming the Thai cops, they did their job here , the eye witnesses did their job and reported it. We even have CCTV images. 
 

So now there is only one final solution to this , the death penalty. 

..by stoning would be appropriate...RIP.

Absolutely hilarious. These fools putting out such edicts are a joke and a disgrace.

 

Banning foam parties because of past electrocutions, telling bent coppers not to extort the needy and vulnerable, telling tourists how to dress as there are perverts everywhere and the cops are only capable of reactive work.

 

What a shower.

..looks like the circus never left town.

The OP said appeared to be under 18.  Do you really trust Thai cops?  Later they said one 17 year old.  How long was she going to be a child a day or two?  I think you may be confusing your terms.  A 17 or 18 year old young woman is not a child. 

...hey!..Im not confusing terms, i cut and pasted the OPs post..go take it up with them.

Children? Hardly. 

TWO CHILDREN from Myanmar, allegedly forced into prostitution at a karaoke bar in Chiang Rai’s Phan district, have been rescued and the 46-year-old bar owner taken in for questioning.

customers, who were standing in a queue.

 

Bad business model...customers should be given numbers...like at a bank and then have their number called when it was their turn.

 

This would free them up to buy more booze for themselves and others.

 

Must be literally thousands of these clubs with underaged girls operating within Thailand...not likely to change...  

..are you for real..the OP is talking about children.

Instead of the fire trucks driving around the moat blowing water they should take a short drive up to Chang Dao and put the fires out. Putting the actual fires out would clear up the air alot quicker than blowing water around the moat.

...that's too logical 'moe'.

Rather stupid to blame the buyer of the crops, while the farmers burn the remains of former crops without any care for the people.

Why don't they just plow the remains under, seems to be better for the land also.

..would have to soak the land first..no money to buy water..we could mulch it but.

Penalties for non-compliance is an eminently fair question.  

 

One would think a government body drafting and implementing enforceable policy on a National level, would also include penalties.  The fact nobody in Immigration seems able or willing to answer the question, is revealing.  

 

My opinion only, I think the 400k low limit is a bluff, intended to smoke out the farangs who employ dodgy agents and their fake accounts/deposits to get around the rules.  BJ mentioned this specifically and then presto - out they came with this post-extension seasoning and the arbitrary 400k threshold. 

 

By not announcing a strict penalty policy, Immigration is leaving themselves flexibility to make case by case decisions as they arise.  The same kind of flexibility they exercise at air/land/sea border entry points.

 

For 800k in the bank method, my guess is a person who dips below the 400k but tops up again to 800k in time for the next extension, and otherwise presents a consistent financial pattern here over time, will be fine.  They aren't the fish Immigration is trying to catch. 

 

IMO, every single agent assisted extension should be flagged for deeper scrutiny.

...well if they (Immigration) have been so concerned about 'where the money comes from' (and Agents have been suspected); how then will they react to where you get the 400k to top up again..doesn't that make the whole thing farcical..(I suppose we will have to prove where that came from).
