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.

It's like watching monkeys smoke and masturbate at the zoo!!!

The cost of losing face same same price of stupidity.

The term 'when pigs fly' comes to mind.

 

Expect more confusion in the months ahead.

Why would they make it easier for us here?

 

Think about it..

Pigs in fact do fly!

If I get a home visit I hope she's cute!

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”.

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.

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.

Much respect to the second IMO that did the right thing.

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.

You can consider this another forced "take care me" tax.
