Proposed Plans to cut Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days
Na, not in that order. If you get approved for the METV, then you have the correct visa for entry. Then use a border run company for the next 2 land entries, and you will be fine, no questions asked.

Proposed Plans to cut Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days
Exactly, it's not like it stopped people from doing border runs to stay here when it was 30 days before. Even if they limit land border entries to 2 a year (and enforce it), then come on a multi-entry tourist visa for 180 days and do 2 border runs, and you are up to 300 days.

Ladyboys Arrested for Pickpocketing Israeli Tourist
Because he got money exchanged at night while frequenting Walking St in Pattaya.... Do you think he was going to drop a donation off at the local temple?

Ladyboys Arrested for Pickpocketing Israeli Tourist
sounds like you are anti-ladyboy Seriously, though, we would mock a nighttime theft (he was clearly cruising) by a ladyboy of any nationality; just because it's an Israeli, it's not allowed?

It was promised to them 3000 years ago?

Russian Overstayer Living on The Street Detained in Pattaya
A regime is a state, (also I'm fairly sure that Gazans have to give up a lot of freedoms due to statism, you know like freedom of movement and free trade due to state enacted sanctions). Israel is a state that is destroying another state while being funded by another state. Wherever you look, that issue is caused or enhanced via statism! You keep saying electricity is a benefit of the state; I purchase it from a state here just as I could purchase it from a private entity if the state allowed competition, a right-wing policy, I might add. I absolutely resent having to pay into a public pension (I very much doubt I will receive one by the time I reach eligibility); I would prefer to invest as I see fit, which I do as well. It's weird you keep bringing up socialism. You are clearly a left winger.

Gaza shows some of the worst parts of statism, literally killing thousands of people but you ignored that because you had no logical argument. Monopolising everything and then calling it a ‘benefit’ doesn’t prove your point; it just proves you’ve never questioned anything. Last time I checked the state doesn't give me the elec and water for "free" either. If the state actually allowed alternatives, we’d see pretty quickly whether people choose your ‘benefits’ or just tolerate them because there’s no other option. Also the guy who tried to call me a left winger, pointing to socialist policies as a win for statism is absolutely hilarious

Your argument is basically, ‘The state causes destruction, so go live in destruction.’ Congrats, you just proved my point for me

You've caught onto what voluntarism is. Do not steal my money for killing people and gifting it to your friends, and I'll (or my like minded community) look after myself through voluntary transactions.

You are scared by people who do not want to live the life you've been conditioned to believe is the only way. This guy might need help, but I've met others you would deem vagrants that just want to live a different way, not attached to the modern world; they move around, camp, look after themselves and do not want to be ruled over. This should be an option to everyone and not be demonised or criminalised

Russian Overstayer Living on The Street Detained in Pattaya
That's the thing you don't understand: I'm not a fascist; that just means you want to be cucked by an authoritarian. I'm further right-wing in my belief in freedom and not needing Daddy government to look after me.

The likes of me are to blame? Really, I do not believe in bombing nations, overthrowing governments due to "intelligence reports" or welfare. All of the above are the main reasons for mass migration into European nations. Of course different departments can deal with different issues, but generally the big stuff is ignored, government corruption for one.

There are larger issues going on in every nation than people not having a visa He's not a drain on the public system, appears to not be hassling locals for help, or causing any trouble of any kind. Why must we remain in the lands where we were born? It's such an antiquated notion.

Tourist Faces Entry Denial at Don Mueang Over Funds Requirement
I agree it's likely the stamps; DMK is the giveaway. She's probably booked cheap flights to Malaysia, Singapore, etc., for a border run due to 2 trips this year or even because border run buses are finding it difficult with the floods to the Malaysian border (I know the Malay side of Satun has been closed for a few weeks now)
-
Tourist Faces Entry Denial at Don Mueang Over Funds Requirement
I had the issue once; I had a few k in baht from my previous trip and was planning on using the ATM to withdraw, as the rates were better than UK or Thai exchanges back then (probably now too), so I showed the banking app, and they had to talk to their superior to confirm if this was ok. Carrying cash is archaic.

French Man Arrested on Koh Phangan for Rape
Of course she needs to provide evidence, you can't ruin a person's life on words alone, that would lead to chaos. Do we know it's a Thai victim? KPG led me to believe it was likely another foreigner

Norwegian Man Arrested After Tuk-Tuk Theft Attempt
33 and in this physical state... at least he's got an enforced diet sorted to shift that flab

French Man Arrested on Koh Phangan for Rape
unable to resist would suggest intoxicated so force not necessary to prove if the victim has provided samples which indicate this to be true
-
French Man Arrested on Koh Phangan for Rape
Interesting they released his name when they never seem to for other crimes, considering mud sticks when it comes to sex crimes even after people are cleared. "Unable to resist" seems to indicate intoxicated so if the victim has taken an alcohol/drug test and a forensic swab it might be very open and shut case even if he was also intoxicated.

Russian couple arrested for illegal bungalow rentals
Wouldn't be shocked if they rented the small resort rather than purchased it, subletting is where the best risk/reward is found.

Italian Drug Suspect Caught in Bangkok on DTV
Here comes the campaign to remove DTVs; his visa status really does not matter.

Russian couple arrested for illegal bungalow rentals
Almost every marketplace ad for a rental on the islands has a profile with a Rus/Ukr name. The subletting down here has driven the rental prices to an insane level.

Thai Woman Seeks Public Help to Find Missing British Husband

Phuket Clamps Down on ‘Visa Runners’ with New Measures
There are many other places than SE Asia, for example my Mother came last year if she experienced that then she would say sod that, I'll pay for you to meet us in name the luxury country, not everyone coming to Thailand is a sex tourist.
