Good move, I just wish this forum would stop using them as a source. It seems to me its an easy option, and a bit of a cop out, to merely cut and paste stories from this "english" source of rubbish. without even "tidying up" the stuff they print. I used to think most stories on here were actually translated from Thai news sources, I was wrong. However watching all the "stalwarts" on here get themselves all worked up over the "gutter press" style of reporting can be highly amusing

There is no shortage of nosey busybodies in the west, its only to be expected that some of them find their way here, Many of them can be heard waffling on about "yellow books" or "pink ID cards" They generally consider themselves to be a "better class" of expat than others, with some sort of enhanced status. I think it may have a bit to do with their former occupations giving them delusions of grandeur. Also a lot of people just tend to get a weird as they enter old age and begin to realise that their perceived relevance is dwindling. Their only comfort is conversing, ranting and basically virtue signalling with other like minded individuals, particularly after happy hour I would bet a months wages that most of them have zero Thai language skills despite living here for years, the fact that they need to be accompanied by, and rely totally on, their wives adds to their frustration

most Thais have no interest or indeed any knowledge about visas, why would they? , The visa scrutineers are normally just a handful of sanctimonious geriatrics that frequent this forum. ones visa status is between you and immigration and nobody else. My brother in law is a police officer, a chief inspector, and he has no concept whatsoever about visas or any of the hoops foreigners have to jump through to remain here

only women raised as muzzers would normally submit to this

My take is that Thai women end up with muslims as due to a lack of education they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. They have no concept of islamic "values" and they can see no further than what money they believe the guy has. The same reason they sometimes end up with westerners old enough to be their grandfather

Or are your comments based on an assessment of historical data and a calculated likelihood ? Absolutely nothing wrong with that either. its a necessary life skill to be applied in any situation. It forms the backbone of the insurance industry. But I see your point lets see if it works

I agree with what you say , who wouldn't? But I hope you realise that the "woke" element on this forum will have their own twisted take on what you wrote and will be out to get you now, probably writing death threats already

A perfectly valid sentiment, regardless of the perps nationality, you have no need to mention prejudice or racism , why fan the flames? There are enough doing that with their virtue signalling, some are unable to function properly unless offended, normally on behalf of others

Along with "Nazi" "Fascist" "Extreme right wing" and of course "islamophobe"

If the perp had been british and somebody had asked " what was she thinking , marrying a brit" not one of the permanently offended virtue signallers would have said a single word despite it being equally racist.

What is it with that "Thaiger" joke of a news site, they seem to be experts at copying stories, changing or removing details and then making everything sound ridiculous with some sort of AI app Do they ever read what has been written before its printed? Do they employ any native speakers? Or is the guy in charge of these things an arrogant Thai who thinks he knows ingleet better than the english and whose status prevents him from being questioned or doubted, ..ever

i'm not suggesting that any are undocumented migrants. I doubt they would be able to claim unemployment benefits. I am talking about lazy members of the indigenous population, you know , the ones who are refusing to work the menial jobs

no it was a straight forward question wriggle as much as you want , I didn't think you would attempt to answer.

Do people like you really not understand that there are millions of benefit claimants who have no intention of working,

Stert by stopping their benefits, and, while we wait for that to happen, people can collect their own fast food

So when people are stood in queues in airports waiting to get themselves and their baggage x rayed its actually nothing to do with muzzers, and all down to the likes of "White Supremacists" , Donald Trump, and any body with right of center views ( who are all referred to as "neo nazis these days) Do you actually believe that ?

You appear to mis understand the simplest things when it suits you . I claimed nothing in my earlier post. Even a child would have noticed the presence and implication of the question marks. I have no issues in owning up to asking a question, which is exactly what I did , two questions to be precise.. Neither of which you have answered So your first paragraph belongs in the bin All those jobs you refer to in the second paragraph are perfectly suitable to be done by the indigenous population, refusal should not be an option. There should be no unskilled immigrant working any job when unemployment is being claimed by somebody capable of doing it. Just because an activity is illegal, does not, and should not make it a career option for foreigners regardless of the laws of supply and demand.

So what all these b/s statistics by all these b/s institutes are trying to have us believe is that all these illegals, intending or attempting to relocate are nothing other than an international emergency volunteer squad, currently on standby, just waiting to be told where their economy saving skills are needed next. Their only purpose in life being to save the developed world from economic disaster, and such is their dedication to their cause, that even muslims are willing to put their inherent dislike of the west on hold , in order to assist in the saving of our economies. despite the ever present threat of islamophobia We should all be eternally grateful that they still agree to come . and wouldn't it be just terrible if they all decided to pack up and go home

No i am claiming that there are too many already and no more should be allowed to enter until the indigenous population is fully employed. Then any extras that are required should only be allowed in when they have successfully applied for a job in their own country and have all the paper work in order, it also should be ascertained that their presence will not be a burden on the infrastructure , ie schools, hospitals etc etc. When they are no longer required they should leave. I struggle to see what real benefits an army of fast food delivery men, or drug dealing gang members bring to any society, especially a society that has many indigenous citizens perfectly qualified and or experienced enough to undertake such activities themselves. Nobody should be allowed to enter and embark on a welfare funded existence. If these immigrants are not required, then move them on, I am sure there are plenty of places, often much closer to their original countries where they are, actually , really needed. Although if they went to those places they would actually have to do some work, and could not enjoy the easy life on welfare benefits which they are seeking.

if all these illegal immigrants are so industrious and hardworking, why are their own original countries so economically deprived? Why are such valuable assets able to leave their home countries so easily in the first place ? Cut the benefits of the lazy indigenous population and force the workshy back into employment. No more immigration would be required, in fact we could start sending them all back. It's not rocket science

And in the 1940's britain and germany threw thousands of tons of bombs at each other killing millions, but we don't spend our lives committing terrorist activities against each other! you should stop calling people racist it makes you sound like a fragile student

fascinating reading, I'm sure😴

I can sought of see his point A 2$ bag is hardly going to interest the super rich, except, as he said for a pity or sympathy purchase, that people will take home, and, after they have finished boring their friends about seeing the real Thailand , they stash under the kitchen sink never to be touched again until they bin it 6 months later Where as if they stuck it in a chintzy shop in the airport , slapped a louis vuitton type badge on it , and a $3000 price tag idiots with more money than sense would be queuing up to buy it, heralding it as their latest fashion discovery, and taking it every day to the overpriced places that idiots with more money than sense frequent. All he has to do is get someone like Posh spice or one of the Kardashians to be seen with one and the job is as good as sorted, theoretically at least What they will probably do is ban foreigners from buying OTOP products or introduce a fully endorsed double pricing protocol which will have the same effect as a ban

you are probably right , its just that I have personally known several "joey macs" over the years and they all came from the same city, two of them from the same street

A valid and somewhat worrying scenario I stopped short of using the word inevitable Apparently there is a vaccine but its only available for those in high risk occupations, treatment is by antibiotics, not sure how effective it is. The only way to avoid it is to avoid exposure to it , It would be catastrophic if it took hold. Still a few cases a year in America apparently
