    Because every IO has the discretionary power to relieve of as much as he can. If that discretion was taken away there’d be a single rule enforced and the IOs would be skint.

    I bring my Thai immigration attorney with me and let them handle everything. Maybe this has some influence I don't know. My attorney said I only need to show passport, lease, bank book, bank letter, 3 photos and 1 TM30 receipt. I wasn't asked for anything else by immigration.

  2. I am here on a retirement visa (2nd year), have lived in the same location the entire time. I have left the country 3 times and travel all over Thailand for 2 and 3 night stays at hotels all the time that report my stay. When I recently renewed my retirement visa (in Bangkok) I was only asked to show 1 TM30 receipt that my landlord filed (over a year late) to validate my lease and no problems occurred. Why do so many other people have issues?

    None. But for us Americans status as military or as a veteran means you gets you social status, makes your suffering more important thant others, and in general makes you a more special human being than the rest of us tax paying civilians. 

    You make me sick!!! These young men and women are willing to put their lives in danger so can have the freedom to say such stupid things!!!

    Zero sympathy for any of those injured who were squatting in the rear of the pick up, my 7yr old knows its a stupid & dangerous thing to do, but then i doubt if that registers with the victims. The one common denominator i have noticed with these incidents is that the drivers of the overloaded vehicles have to swerve to avoid another who allegedly has cut them up.

    You need to slow your roll chief!!! These poor people do whatever it takes to earn a living to support their families. Just be grateful that your 7 year old doesn't have to live this way and show some compassion for those that do!!!

    Yeah, right! Thai consumers worrying about Brexit... Most Thais could not even locate Britain on a world map if you gave them 3 minutes to find it.

     

    Also, most Thais aren't farmers these days, so why should they worry about "low prices commanded by Thai farm products"?

    I have my doubts if they could even find Thailand on a world map considering there is nothing else in the world except for Thailand to these people.

    OMG are they serious ?

     

    This is right up there with boats clearing flood water and bomb detectors

    If these people would spend half as much time, energy, effort and money chasing the real problem which is Thai people themselves as they do foreigners and our address reporting, they might just be able to solve their own problems.

    The Chinese are outsmarting the USA at every juncture. With tact and diplomacy they're taking over Asia and now have a foothold in Africa. The old US way of bombs and bullets has failed. Their self serving bullying sanctions will become meaningless as they slowly become isolated. Eventually the Indian economy will also overshadow that of the USA. The "Big I am" is slowly but surely becoming the "little me"

    This is great! All the rest of you can start paying foreign aid while us "American tax payers" keep our money for our own benefit and not yours!!!

    I think so too. There is no pollution.

    If I speak to Thai people, e.g. last smoky season, some went from Chiang Mai to their home in Phayao and told me there is good air quality, while AQI showed +400 also over there. Just one example, I experienced many similar stuff, it is only us stupid farangs who think about it.

    Just look at all the car drivers in Northern Thailand in smoky season. No one wearing a mask- only motorcyclists. I wonder what makes the air inside the car so clean with normal air conditioning inside only and opening/closing the doors often.

    I thought for sure they would try to blame foreigners for passing gas 555
