The Thai people have some of the highest IQ's in the world when it comes to concocting innovative schemes to fleece Farangs.

Bingo! 

It's nothing other than the fact that they can do whatever they want to on a whim. The IO could be getting hungry and at that moment decide he want to make trouble for you. That is the fact. I don't care what visa you get on someone will eventually cause you trouble for whatever reason. They don't want you here Mr. Bigheart Farang coming to spread your benevolence and save the poor Thai people with your education, talent, or money. They just assume take your money, kick you out and laugh about it over a Chang. 

Thailand is a dump, the people don't want you here. If you are wise you will already be preparing to get out while you still can.

That can't be! Don't burst my bubble! I heard it from good sources how cheap Thailand is compared to my home country! I it heard from a reliable Farang source here in Thailand, he eats 30/baht pad thai three times a day, sits in the AC in the mall when it's hot, rides a bike everywhere he needs to go to save on transportation and lives in a tent in the woods and bathes in the stream nearby. Living the dream!

What a joke. Thailand getting 5G tech and can't even get an online 90 reporting system working right across the country. Besides, I like how they call Thailand a 'Test Bed'. Isn't there a lot of reports going around about 5G causing cancer and destroying your immune system. Maybe the Chinese want to work out the harmful bugs on the Thai's knowing they don't know any better? I sure wouldn't want to be living next to one of those 5G towers.

I have reported this in other posts before. These beggars are all part of Chinese beggar gangs. Some are intentionally injured in China and sent abroad to beg. It was a big issue in Malaysia years back.

I love this topic. I am laughing my a** off.

I agree. I forsee a slew of "Help, what do I do" topic coming April!

I am disgusted with how people people treat their hosts!!

Just how does the host treat the guest well in any way? You should grovel at our feet, worship us and give us all your money because we let you in our home. That is not a guest but a slave.

They are even protected.

I wasn't protected when my thieving THAI landlord stole my security deposit from me when I left my last rental!

Once again, Thai immigration works over someone just following the rules. I wonder where all the people are constantly saying they never have a problem and don't know what everyone is talking about and as long as you just follow the rules you will be fine. It is not fine, they do whatever they want regardless what the rules say just to cause you trouble and waste your time and money. 

Thailand is not the wonderful place it was 10 years ago and continues to go downhill.

I believe someone is paying off those who run certain entry points

I have debated between them getting pay offs or it is just a matter of them wanting to avoid work. If it becomes known for denials there will be a lot less traffic so they can laze around on their cell phone all day and get paid.

Foreign lambs being led to the slaughter as always. 

They can also rip you off with sudden repairs. 

Hey Mr. Overseas Moneybags, your AC went out and it was 5,000 for a new compressor. Meanwhile there was never anything wrong with your AC.

Why don't you just sell it if you aren't using it anymore?

At some offices, even if you meet their last list of demands, they could change them once or twice more, adding more to each visit. 

Exactly. It means one of a few things.

1. They just want to make your life miserable and get off on the power trip.

2. They don't want to see your face anymore and would rather you just leave, either to another province or leave Thailand all together.

3. They are looking for a bribe and hope you go through an agent if they give you too many problems.

Thai immigration is some of the most miserable people I have ever met in my life. No amount of propaganda will ever lead me to believe things will get better or to recommend to anyone to come to Thailand for more than a week or two vacation once or twice a year, even then I would suggest Malaysia before Thailand if they had to come to SE Asia.

Thailand was great 10 years ago and has gone downhill ever since. It's amazing it still gets so much hype. You can only fool most people for so long though. 

You really want to sell at such a low point in the market? To each his own I guess.

The media is so corrupt. Parading around his military service like he is some great guy. You know why he was arrested originally? 

"He was arrested on "felony charges of arson, damaging property and disturbing the peace" after he lit a small fire in a hospital."

Now the open borders mob will be using this as propaganda to try to shut down any law enforcement against the illegal immigrant invaders.

The wall will help. Illegal immigrant hordes of thousands can't just march in. Hundreds of pounds of drugs can't just walk right in. However the big issue is that the wall is just a beginning measure. What good is the wall if any of the immigration laws in the country are never enforced. Still have sanctuary cities and funding for them, still don't enforce visa overstays, still allow rampant asylum, refugee and marriage fraud, still allow birthright citizenship which is a huge magnet for illegals and birth tourists, little to no enforcement or penalties on employers of illegals, no real round ups and deportations like they do in Thailand. The list goes on. The US congress both parties are corrupt to the core and support illegal immigration otherwise they would do something. 

This is all theater. They are preparing to ram DACA amnesty down everyone's throats.

They will let this play out for a while and then the 'big compromise' will come. DACA amnesty for the wall. Then amnesty will happen immediately and the wall will get tied up in endless lawsuits until Trump is gone and someone can overturn from getting built. This will be another, number 8 in the long line of failed amnesties where the illegal immigrant wins, corporations wanting cheap labor wins, and congress and their families getting rich from their corporate sponsors wins, and the US citizen gets nothing in return.

The US citizen gets screwed again by their corrupt Congress, both sides D and R are both corrupt to the core. 

Does anyone really care? The Thais don't care. They think they know it all already and don't need you to tell them anything. I learned a long time ago to not solicit your opinion or advice to Thai people it is the biggest waste of time and breathe there is. You could see them rubbing two sticks together to try to start a fire and try to hand them matches and they will not even look at the matches and keep rubbing those sticks together thinking their way is best because it works for them in the end. Leave them to their own devices and you will have a much happier life. 

You can set up this online account based in Dominica without having to visit. I have a corporate account with them. They have a private crypto currency selling option for direct deposit into your account if you need that as well. No FDIC or anything like that because it is not a US bank.

Just get the Grab app on your phone and be done with them. You can set your exact pickup and dropoff location in advance and you agree to the fare in advance so there is no dispute. 

This is a well known situation in China they are called beggar gangs. Sometimes these people are perfectly healthy and intentionally disabled by the gang and enslaved to work with them. I remember not long ago hearing about the Chinese running them even in Malaysia, who knows if they have any ties to it in Thailand.

I don't know what they were doing not long ago or if it is a consistent thing but I was out late night for some business about 2am or so riding back to Pattaya on the motorway from Bangkok and all the way from Chonburi to Pattaya there was this deep haze and overwhelming smell of pollution and what smelled toxic. I wonder if they are heavily polluting while everyone is sleeping at night and then they lower it in the morning hours before people come out and about. All I know is that it was horrible and all across the province. I feel sorry for people who are setting up houses and retiring close to this new eastern economic corridor. I have a feeling if big factories keep setting up here their golden retirement years are going to be from the golden haze of pollution in the air.
