I agree its their country, BUT they are dealing solely with foreigners, together with the odd visa agent? Surely the immigration officers dealing directly with the foreigners should be able to communicate, with them? I am not suggesting that the IO's be able speak several languages, what I am saying is that they should be able to speak the most spoken language in the world, which is English!

Certainly some of the English and Scottish accents can be difficult to understand, even for native English speakers. I have been to Birmingham in the Midlands and can quite understand the difficulty, especially for a Thai, with English as their second language?

Got to agree, unless you don't speak pretty good English, you shouldn't need a Thai translator with you?

Russian Tourists Spearhead Foreign Arrivals in Phuket
mikeymike100 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I am sure you are correct on this, no surprises then, business as usual? -
Absolutely correct, if the cops shake you down, who do you complain to? From the article: "The RTP are already facing huge trouble that has led to their overseer Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha calling for those responsible to be held to account." As usual nothing will happen, maybe some cops may get transferred, but not one will end up being prosecuted?

You can purchase/buy an education visa? I'm shocked, don't you need to prove that you are going regularly to class and are actually learning? -

Police deny extorting money from Taiwanese actress
mikeymike100 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Correct, on my device its there for 30 days, but not all phones are the same? The fact they were ordered to delete the video is incriminating in itself, in other countries the police can't do that, however there were around 7 cops there, i would imagine they felt scared <deleted>less? -
New UK passport fees confirmed
mikeymike100 replied to surat04's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
More like third class service for the UK passport? 11 weeks, what a joke! -
Whilst you make a fair point, but you also agree it could have happened, 50/50? If it was a fine of 27,000 she would get a receipt? If its a bribe you don't? Considering its on social media and in the news etc , its strange the RTP haven't responded with a statement? As yet they haven't denied it happened?

“No new visas for Chinese citizens applying in Phuket” – visa agent
mikeymike100 replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
"They also confirmed that people applying for new Retirement visas must now go to to Pattaya Immigration for photograph and proof of funds" Why Pattaya, i wonder? I thought the HQ for immigration was in Bangkok? Plus if you reside in Phuket (TM30) how can the paperwork done elsewhere? -

Hamline University professor who lost job over Muhammad art sues
mikeymike100 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Yes of course, anyone can move wherever they like! Point is non Muslim Americans who dislike pictures of Mohammad are unlikely to complain to the College authorities, they would just dislike it and likely forget it, however I suspect they would be very few?
