Ah, here we go again...

I read more and more stories like this everyday. It seems that immigration is getting tougher recently even after Big Joke left.

I agree this is constant along with lady boy thefts/beatdowns, car/motorcycle deaths, jumper suicides off balcony, etc...welcome to lovely Thailand....it's definitely more adventure than a movie...

Yes, eager minds want to know.. Where to purchase?

Have seen them in Pattaya area.  Specific soi I do not recall. Many hand held smaller devices I have seen.

Welcome Thailand.  It's just normal here.  Nothing new.

Surely the ones to ask are your local office. It is well known that there are variations around the country.

Do you know why there are variations around the country?  Is that normal? It's like people make stuff up as they feel like it going along with major implications, and severe consequences on foreigners lives, their families, children, etc.  Visa Russian roulette.

It was a marketing slogan thought up by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.  To be fair, it has been very successful - as some seem to believe it's true!

Don't you see the endless smiles here?  Or NOT?  I see on your profile you are in BKK.

Good grief. You believed the "Land of Smiles" slogan? Where do Immigration Officers always smile? Get a grip!

Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
 

Don't they call Thailand the land of smiles?  I thought they did!  Why do they say the 'land of smiles"?  I read that quote all over TVF for years.  Do you know why or what the origin of that quote is?  Have you eve seen that on TVF? Hmmm, perhaps it's just my naivety, that's why I came here, I see all the Thai girls always smile at me. Oh well, I'm blissfully in love with Thailand - whatever...LOL

How many do you need, 1,2,3,5,10 people?  So ridiculous.  It depends on the office, and the mood of the officer that holds your life in their hands.

Japan, surprisingly, is quite a corrupt country. Most of the corruption is at the large business and governmental level. It doesn't reach the lower strata as it does in Thailand.

I agree.  However, not so with immigration rules and regulation application.  If it says you get a certain number of days everyone gets the same.  Thai immigration is well known for being "consistently inconsistent".

Yes, not only you but many of us will be rejected.  Male sure you have a plan B, C, D, etc...

I know your report is for CM, so they may have their own practices there...

I love your statement...translated in my mind: Visa Russian roulette!  Or a hopeless lottery.

All of them on the take, from top to bottom. It never ends! Absolutely no sense or moral scruples or any effort to do a fair days work for a fair days pay.

 

Terrible people. ????

Whereas in Japan, very opposite.  Absolute idiots here.  Welcome to the new way of immigration here.  No sense in fighting it, just move to another country.

Just throw it out and start over.

This takes care of both human and animal Soi dogs.  Never have an issue.  Very effective,  fast, cheap, with max stoppage power.  

The sign of the times here now.  No more smiles.  Start searching for another place with easier immigration processes.

Never was out to own anyone, all I was trying to do was be responsible for my daughter and support and provide for her mother to give her a better life and self worth. Lust  and love had nothing to do with just a big heart who was too trusting. 

If she wanted the same you would not be in this hell now.  You stated, she lied, that = no integrity.  She is not interested in the same values that you believe in.  Can you see that?

BULL crap!

Mortality rate here is the worst in the world both for drowning and road deaths.
