"Unlimited visa exempt entries at land borders per calendar year"
After all the effort the authorities have gone to in the last four years to make sure that people are not using tourist visa and visa exempt status to live in Thailand. This completely reverse that. Tourists who can get visa exempt will be able to stay in Thailand permanently subject to visa runs.
What a waste of time.....

100 percent of the Nigerians and other Africans who walk around lower sukhumvit or stand in Sois 3, 5 and 13 in front of Spankeys Bar and on the corner of Sukhumvit road in front of the 7-11 aggressively pushing drugs to passers-by .... ("hey how are you... how can I help you")... are criminals. They are likely criminals in their own country and certainly criminals in Thailand. Of course racism is not right. But this is about criminality not racism.

If no officials are tied to drug rings or protecting the drug trade how come gangs of Nigerians and other africans have been allowed to stand on street corners and sell drugs openly to passers-by for years, under the noses of the authorities.
Like the ones in front of the 7/11 on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 13 or in front of Family Mart in that Soi. Or the ones that sit in the same locations on the sub sois of Soi 3 every night.
Everyone knows and sees what is going on. It is impossible that the police are just incompetent and either unaware or lacking the ability to deal with these pushers if they wanted.

You seem to know about this ???? One more question, I found a condo that qualifies, is brand new, but is sold out. It will be ready in 2021, but some people are flipping it, would this work? Or I need to actually buy off the developer before it sells out?
As long as the ownership has not yet transferred from the developer to the person who is flipping the condo, you will be named as the first registered owner on the relevant documents at the transfer date. The condo then counts as new as far as immigration are concerned - you will be the first owner. This is even though some of your money will go to the flipper to cover the amount he has already paid to the developer - he never owned the condo because it was not transferred to him by the developer in this case. So you will qualify for an investment visa even if you buy a 'resale unit' before the transfer date.
One thing to note is to transfer money from your account overseas to your account in Thailand. From your Thai account you can pay the flipper and settle any balance with the developer. Don't pay the flipper directly from an overseas account since immigration are supposed to check that the names on the sending overseas and receiving Thai bank accounts are the same and both yours.
One other thing is that if the value of the condo is less than 10M Baht as far as is registered at the Land Department (not as far as the market value is or what you paid), then you can bring the total invested in Thailand up to 10M by investing the balance in a fixed Income bond with a Thai bank. This is very easy, but the interest is not great...about 1.5%p.a. so better keep this amount to a minimum.

I think those most wanted Nigerians can be found every night standing outside the 7/11 on the corner of Sukhumvit soi 13 in Bangkok selling yaba.

Pub St (Golden Lion Plaza) has been dead for a long time. Or are you talking about the bar street in Victory Hill? The last time I was there that place was 80% dead but with all other girly places pretty much gone you would think that place must flourish by now? What happened to all the freelancers in Dolphin and that other beach bar?
Pub street is has been demolished. The beer bars near Golden Lion roundabout have been demolished. The bar street in Victory hill is dilapidated and filthy. Many places are boarded up or abandoned. Only a few sad bars are left with a few Chinese customers. Some small cheap shops and restaurants in that area have Chinese signs and Chinese staff.
In general it is hard to find any restaurants with "Khmer Food and Western Food" signs from before. I only saw a handful. All the rest were abandoned or taken over by Chinese owners selling Chinese food to Chinese people.
I've been to Sihanoukeville about 15 or 20 times since 2004. Went a couple of weeks ago to see if it really was as bad as the Cambodian's were saying. The changes in the last year or so are shocking. I saw in the Phom Penh Post that there are about 40,000 Chinese there now. Workers in construction, casinos, hotels, restaurants plus tourists. That's an invasion for a place of 100,000 people.

Looking forward to a lot of racists post asking for the extermination of all nigerians, interestingly those comments don't exist if the nationality was Malaysian or romanian etc. The racism from the users of this board is insanely dark, Read on, you'll see them pop up soon.
Those Nigerian scammers should use their Nigerian names instead of pretending to be white people. The Nigerians are being racists about themselves.

Increase the fares for Bangkok Taxis. 35B flag fall is too low. Fare pr km is not enough and is not fair to the poor BKK taxi drivers.

The Chinese spending goes in large part back to China through Chinese owned tour operators and other companies... they are a parochial and insular people who know and care little about anything outdide of their bubble....
The best tourists are from UK.... small numbers but high spend... and mainly on local Thai beer...

Why no alcohol? Did somebody ask them?

I look forward to the coming news about the RTP rounding up the gangs of Nigerian drug dealers who stand openly selling drugs in Bangkok Sukhumvit Sois 3 and 13 every night, and have done for years, under the noses of the RTP.

One aspect that is more common in Thailand than many Western countries, I reckon, is that there is a higher frequency of bare faced lies and a higher acceptance that people lie to get on in life. This is often done to save face, to protect personal relatiomships, or to avoid conflict. It may seem wierd to people who assume most people are honest most of the time. It can come as a surprise to westerners since Thai people are often polite, personable and sociable. Whereas in the west, known big time liars are often ostracised....but of course not always...

Is Thai Visa the best place you have to find a solution to your ass onion problem?
Are we all so public now that its better to ask for crowd-sourced solurions for anal irritations rather than having a chat with your doctor.
guess it is so....but as long as you know that doctors are more profficient in anal issues than TV members...probably

Saw this lane at Swampy. When I was there there were hardly any Chinese and the officials were directing the people in the “foreigner” lane to the Chinese lane.
But I thought it wasn’t to give the Chinese priority but more to give the other tourists some VIP treatment away from the shouty and large Chinese tour groups. Like for the Chinese dining rooms that have been set up in some European hotels away from the main dining room. Where they can shout, phglem, spit and throw bones on the floor away from tourists who were less ignorant about behavioural norms outside of their home town.
Probably a smart move by the Thais. The Chinese will feel respected. All other foreigners will feel relieved.

Yingluk in a Thai jail is a much bigger headache for the Junta than her out of sight out of mind abroad. Thai authorities are doing it for show.
And the UK does not extradite people to countries run by the army who has forcibly takes over the government from a democratically elected government in an illegal coup.
That the Junta sees itself as having the legitimacy to even request this provides a window into the minds of the generals.

Has anyone told this joker that there are 50 Nigerians selling cocaine at the mouth of Soi 13 every night. Or would that be inconvenient for the police that control them?

Why does this story about two people getting arrested make TV news?
If the police see any Africans standing on street corners calling out to passers-by they should know that they are criminals; drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes or scammers.
These people are criminals back home and criminals in Thailand...but come here because they can make more money in Thailand.
The police should not be arresting them for overstay. They should be arresting them for being criminals.

From working in West Africa, these illegals can make more money in Cambodia and Thailand than they can in Nigeria... doing the same thing.... selling drugs, doing scams and pimping.
In Cambodia and Thailand the people they prey on have more money - especially the tourists and expats, but also the locals.
I wonder why the Cambodian authorities are able to round them up and deport them so easily.
But in Thailand, gangs of Nigerian and other African drug dealer-pimps are free to stand on street corners, like in lower Sukhumvit, Bangkok, and aggressively and openly push drugs onto passers by... in front of the police.
Is it really the case that the Thai police are more corrupt or incompetent than the Cambodian police?

The OP would do well to remember that in general, sex is a good thing and it should be encouraged within a caring society as long as it is consensual. Greater access to sex correlates with lower levels of violence. Look at the muslim world today and the christian world over the ages..both being religions that unnaturally portray sex as a sin. And remember that religion is a bad thing, a virus of the mind, that causes lies, deceit and the waste of the lives of those poor folk infected.

Are You Ready for the Hordes of Chinese Tourists?
in Pattaya
Posted · Edited by Ketyo
correction
If you follow the news from Cambodia or have visited Sihanoukeville recently you will know that with tens of thousands of Chinese having embedded themselves in that relatively small city in the last couple of years, the authorities cannot cope with the disorder created.
Complaints are about Chinese fighting each other around the bar areas and being abusive to locals. Never mind buying up local businesses, land and property to open Chinese businesses for Chinese people. Also, they are moving in on the sex industry. Arrests have been made of Chinese massage parlour owners, some distributing flyers with their girls and services offered and for people trafficking for the sex industry. Just because the Chinese are not big users of 'Beer Bars' or 'Gogo bars' where farangs go does not mean they are not Sexpats. They most definitely are and they take advantage of the low enforcement of prostitution in Cambodia and Thailand compared to their own country where strong authorities have control.
The Cambodian authorities cannot cope because they are weak and the Chinese don't like to follow rules, especially those of other people. Of course people working for the authorities end up with cash in their back pockets for selling out to the Chinese. Cambodians and barangs alike now avoid that city and the government is making excuses.
The Thai authorities are stronger but yet to be properly tested by the Chinese invasion.
The Chinese will not fit in in manageable numbers like those from other countries. They are coming in large numbers and will take over and damage whatever was there before they arrived.
