DEEP STATE

My spidey senses tell me that Mack was part of an international Pedophile ring; and became a liability. Somone dispatched assassins from Cambodia to disappear him. Human traffficing is about to surpass drugs as the number one crime in the world.

I used to ponder about the Thai Workforce and it took me years to figure it out. I worked d in a Regional. Tech Company as the Country Manager for 6 years; then worked as the only Farang in a Thai Beer Company for 10 years as a Consultant. Productivity is not in the Thai Vocabulary. They are paid small salaries because it takes 10 of them to do the job of one normal western worker. They are educated in an environment where Critical Thinking does not exist. They can't think outside the box. The most important aspect of any Thai office is the social network.; Lunch and Birthdays are important social occasions.

I agree with richard_smith237. You kids should exit on their Thai Passports. Do not show immigration a TM Card or anything that would link them to the kids British Passports. Your wife and kids will not need to extend their Visas as they are Thai Citizens. As for you, you can extend your tourist visa at the immigration office. I think it is around 2,500 baht. My kids came in on a USA Passport and got this Thai Passport a year later. Last time we left Thailand. We left on his Thai Passport.
