Hi

 

Had a similar pleasant experience at Phuket immigration this morning. My 90 day report. In and out in 5 minutes. Perfect english and a smile.

I totally agree..... I've always had good professional service from Immigration, over the past 15 years.

The lovely guy who likes joking at room 103, each year at renewal time and the polite, efficient (under 5 minutes) drive thru for 90 day reporting.

No complaints from me about Phuket Town Immigration!

AFAIK, he was still in Thailand, just in a different position. The title makes it read like he went to Cambodia or something.

Didn't he go to India as a Buddhist monk or something, after his vehicle was riddled?

We should wait until we hear both sides of the story.

What "other side" could there be..... I can't conceive of a reason for such utter cruelty!

UPDATE: A court in Samui has fined the 89 foreign and 20 Thai partygoers 4,000 Baht each. They were also sentenced to one month in prison but this was suspended for one year. The Organizers were fined 10,000 Baht. Their two year sentence was suspended for one year #Thailand

Why do so many think dickbarrow is the fountain of all knowledge?

An earlier post talked to one of the partygoers and no court suspended sentence.

I thought he was kicked out of here last year?

Probably works in an Indian restaurant, not hard to figure out. There are many Indian chefs in Thailand. 

My Indian mate owns an Indian restaurant and can't get a work permit for his own brother to work in his kitchen, so not that easy!!

Something fishy in Krabi, why was he allowed to work prior to taking a health check  test for a work permit?

How can an Indian get a work permit to work in a restaurant?

Yet more BS from TAT....more like Fred Karnos Circus than a responsible government department...

Lying bunch of no good government ministers..... what a disgusting state of affairs and no repercussions as nobody held accountable for their statements.

And this is a country that puts so much store in "face".... I think they mean bare-faced lies.

How sad, but I'm sure Rooster will placate them next Sunday!

Probably the same with the flight from Scandinavia.

Wasn't it "the land of Scandinavia"?

So the trucker thought that the bus would slow down for him? I guess in the same vein as Thai traffic lights needing a countdown timer, they will need to install brake lights on the front of vehicles so that second-guessing like this can be eliminated in the 'investigation'. Will certainly make playing 'chicken' and 'shooting the gap' much more exciting.

So, you don't read so well... the bus was BEHIND him!

Utterly ridiculous how they have posed for this photograph.  Although it says everything about how they view foreigners who are almost never violent even if they have overstayed.  They really are determined to make it clear that foreigners are the enemy.  Welcome to Amazing Thailand.  Over 30 years ago we used to refer to it as the land of smiles - what a joke that is now.

Looks like the black and white minstrel show....lol

What a completely misleading headline.... there's no loophole even mentioned!

How are they going to know which tourists are which? which tourists have been in thailand for more than 3 weeks? which foreigners are tourists and which foreigners are long term residents, retirees, employees? will they have police checks all over the country continually stopping and checking foreigners? it's a mad plan.

Electronic tracking ankle bracelets.....

No idea whatsoever

Everyone but the Thai ministers know this makes zero sense.

 

If you're a real tourist, who would spend 2 weeks in quarantine on arrival + 2 weeks quarantine back in their home country for a 1 week holiday in Phuket? Who even has 5 weeks holiday to do it as a lot of people used up their holiday time during lockdown when they ran out of sick leave.

 

Then you have the long stay like me who spend 6 months per year in Pattaya. Why would I want to stay in Phuket for 3 weeks at my cost. I have no interest going there 

 

But Phuket has their share of wealthy snowbirds, so it could be a possibility?

Make that home quarantine and they would certainly come....

Very true and cynical comment.

I think the only way to guarantee safety is by moving to another country, as others have done in the past.

I hear BJ is back in Thailand from his Buddhist retreat in India?
