call me crazy but I would like a meeting with B.J, I have a very heavy weight on my chest and (for the obvious reasons) can't write about it but would be willing to explain to him face to face, if he speaks another language besides Thai,  without a translator (3rd party translations get distorted) maybe he's an open mind type guy and could listen to some of us, I don't know but it's an idea, we keep claiming that we don't count, they don't need us or want us, maybe it's not the case and we are all wrong, maybe they do $$$$ value us

Huh?????

Well roll me over and call me Shirley, did I just read this right???

Ok, I will say it, 

corrupt little fat guy got away with it.

well done Thailand, the rest of the world have seen this goose is a corrupt little evil man that the rest of the government are covering for, that makes them equally corrupt.

back to stage 1 for integrity

Had this scam happen to me last week from airport long term parking to sukhumvit.

stopped at traffic lights near car park and the meter was ticking over rapidly. 

Went 3km whilst stationary. 

When I brought it to the good mans attention via talking to my wife on the phone and him hearing me tell her his taxi number and name, the meter turned off and all I had to pay the kind gent was the toll.

another scam at airport is the metre running when you get i the taxi.

Maybe a reputable news outlet should ask the local authority as to who is responsible for inspections of these zoos then front up to their office with tv cameras etc and put them on the spot.

I want to be a Terminal 21 security officer

Somebody forgot to pay

Wow, never saw that one coming as soon as it was reported

Ask the UK media to find him.

they did last time

Let's break down what's happening objectively.

 

The British embassy will stop issuing income letters. They are telling their nationals wanting to use an income method to show bank deposits in Thailand instead. Thai immigration officially still REQUIRES embassy income letters of all nationals. Confused? You should be. For now, it would be rational for Brits to prepare to use the 800K bank in a Thai bank method and ignore the strange advice from their own embassy.

 

For now, this appears to only be a British thing in stopping the income letters. 

There is no hard evidence that it will spread, only fear and rumors.

 

As far as CORRUPTION. As far as VISA AGENTS and IMMIGRATION OFFICERS engaging in corruption allowing applications that don't even begin to comply with the rules get accepted in exchange for cash payments, the possibility that there might someday be a CRACKDOWN has always been there. Is that crackdown going to happen soon? Maybe. Maybe not.

 

Personally I have always warned people not to use visa agents in that way because you never know, someday it might bite you real bad. 

 

As far as people doing LEGIT applications, bank or income (if not British) there is as yet no confirmed news that there is any change at all. 

 

Maybe there will be such changes soon, and I understand the reason that people of all nationalities are freaking out and that's including people not engaged in corruption, but I think it's time to CHILL until we actually hear confirmed news of such major changes (for all nationals). 

 

Brits who are going to have problems complying even legitimately, OK, it might be time for them to panic. 

 

“Personally I have always warned people not to use visa agents in that way because you never know, someday it might bite you real bad. “

 I think that bite may be long, hard and affect a lot of people.

Anyone using them in the last few years, be prepared for the dreaded knock on the door. 

Do Chinese class as foreigners????

Perhaps they should now call their insurance company to bail them out

Can see the gofundme page now

Now I would love to see an enterprising producer start up a thai comedy called “no tips”

they could have not just one big joke but a whole heap of little jokes too.

imagine the merchandise sales for a project like this.

I reckon “no tips” t shirts would far out weigh the Buriram United shorts everyone wears.

Robinsons could change the food part of their shops to Tips instead of Tops.

my mind is spinning with the many ways to make money on the back of this hilarity 

Maybe the PM should wear his knee pads and personally welcome all Chinese to Thailand.

dont forget the tissues

Easy to find out who the woman is.......

I mean....how many women bought a diamond ring

worth 1 million THB that week in Chiang Mai?

Let me guess, the cctv isn’t working for that day???

didn’t the police, 2 weeks ago, say there were no prostitute in Walking St??

Why only target Thais.

start targeting some of these farang that ride motorbikes without licenses, crash them expect everyone else, via sob  stories in the soft media and gofundme,  to pay all the bills with some left over for another holiday.

end of rant

What about the ones already there.

tick tock tick tock

Stop it, please.

i am about to have a coronary I am laughing so much.

Surely these buffoons don’t think people actually believe them.

how embarrassing for the civilised thais.

this is so funny

This guy is probably the most proactive copper in Thailand.

send him to Singapore or London and he probably has more chance of bringing those well known fugitives back to answer their charges.
