Getting a visa shouldn't be easy as pie. It should require effort and diligence. It's only a problem if valid applications get denied. And just because you are denied doesn't mean your request was valid to begin with.
Seems like just about anyone (45 yo, unmarried /single) could go silent for 4 or 5 days and it wouldn't be alarming. Not sure this is all that suspicious
Doubtful this gets done by November 1 seeing as it's already October 29. I'll be shocked if any of this reported change happens as described in the article.
As it where... Thailand (in 2017) lowered the mandatory retirement age for certain groups of civil servants from 65 to 60. This change was largely a result of the government trying to create job opportunities for younger people.
Has any country ever lowered it's retirement age in the last decade? Underfunded social programs are increasingly the norm. Raising the age seems almost expected.
Nah... There is too much money in it for Thais and it feeds the corruption that keeps so many Thai authorities happy. If they wanted it to stop they would have already.
It's about time more average Thais start realizing that the money offers from rich Thais to "get off" on offenses are a mere pittance. Need to start holding out for more or let the rich suffer the legal consequences.
Good point. But if only 11% pay taxes, that's 89% that don't... And the majority of that 89% can't be because they don't make enought (are in poverty , etc.) to not have to file. Seems any way you cut it, a lot of Thais "get away with" not paying PI.
