Might bear remembering that the talk re Thais being released, during the ceasefire, was, they were of no value. Many who accompany non Thais overseas, are treated similar, and some who leave in search of work, abused. Best not to be so fussy and be prepared to move about the province's, a safer option. More locals working in Pattaya now, than before covid. Never seen so much local faces, in the traffic.
