They make it up every time. They wasted a lot of money on a toy now have to promote it to not lose face. If you dont put data in, then you have nothing to compare with.
The cost of losing face same same price of stupidity.

You do report to airport immigration when you return, they just don't realize it and obviously don't understand it.

Does this apply for whole Thailand or only Phuket?
I think any and all this just depends on the daily mood of “The competent official”.

Off topic. I was in a bar the other day when a girl came up to me and started talking as if she knew me. When I pointed out that I'd definately never met her before she replied, "Sorry, all farangs look the same to me".
It's easy to tell the difference. The white ones are polite, spend money and don't smell. Can you guess which ones try to get the 12 men group discount with one freelancer on beach road?

There are plenty of videos on YouTube of people still coming out of some venues at dawn, mixing with the monks doing their rounds. I guess they pay into the 'Do Whatever You Want Club' fund, and we can't see that changing, can we. Maybe there'll be one of their two-day crackdowns before it's business as usual, that's all.
There is a bar 5 minutes walk from my condo that closes at 6:00 am. Right next door to it is a massage parlor that's open from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am and a soapy massage parlor right across the street from it with the same hours. All three venues are frequented by Thai locals. You can form your own opinion and conclusions to what exactly is going on here.

I agree!!! We come here for holiday and retirement. We come here to live in peace and don't want to cause trouble. Thailand's worst enemy is it's own people.

Some on here say to treat the Thai's the same in our home countries as we the retired ex-pats are treated here. Well be careful about what you wish for because Thailand might just change and be like the other countries that we have come from. Non of the western countries have a visa for those that are single and retired. Which means that if you wish that Thailand would treat you the same then that would mean that Thailand do away with the Non-Immigrant "O" visa with an extension based on retirement which would mean all the retired ex-pats would have to leave Thailand. Check your home countries visa's and they do not have any visa for the single retired person. You should be thankful that Thailand at least has a visa that you as a single retired person can use to live here permanently. What would the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the EU put a single retired person through for that person to live in those countries the same as we live in Thailand?
Yes I should be thankful that every expat and retiree like myself brings a great deal of money into Thailand and pumps money into the local economy. I hardly think this is the same case in the reverse situation.

May I humbly suggest that they call for expat volunteers to test the new app before it goes live? I'm sure there will be no shortage of takers.
I worked in IT for 40 years with my last 10 years in software testing. I would be more than happy test and break the application.

I'm so happy I ignored this whole nonsense to date. I should have filed (or my landlord should have) at least five times now since they started enforcing it.
A while back I heard from my landlord the whole thing was going to change - she has reliable sources from Immigration HQ.
Now if they can just fix the clusterfXck at the airports.
The last time I flew back into Thailand the girl at immigration behind the desk was too busy giggling and saying handsome man and forgot to stamp my passport and I had to give it back to her and remind her how to do her job.

Treat me and everyone else with dignity and respect and we will respect their culture.

Yes the US does monitor currency fixing which is what is clearly going on here. Their isn't anything in this country worth a plug nickel and nothing of value to offer the rest of the world. All of this is very unfortunate for the average Thai citizen as they are very wonderful people. I have many Thai friends here and there is a very real sadness behind those beautiful smiles we have all grown to love.

I live in Bangkok and visit Pattaya often. None of the local people I have spoken with even like Indian people. Everyone tells me that they are cheap, rude and smell. I know this to be true because I worked with Indian people for many years. I have literally seen bar girls stand in the doorway and tell the Indian men to go somewhere else.
