Oh they will, just give them a bit of time!

Politically beleagured UK?? More like politically corrupt and inept UK and politically inept and utterly corrupt Thailand. Perhaps Police Chief 'Big Joke' will land a position as Minister for UK National Security in Rishi Sunak's cabinet as one of the diplomatic gifts granted to Cameron before he leaves? 🤣

But it's what the Thai woman who the farang marries believes, (and her family also believes and expects that this will and should happen).

That's a lovely story and an experience he can cherish and enthusiastically recount to his family, no doubt.

8.5 million tourists. Does that include counting Soviets as Europeans? 8.5 million!! That's good revenue for the airlines with their inflated fares to BKK and PKT these days.

Blatant collusion between airlines happening to inflate air fares at yes the peak time of the year. (Recovering pandemic losses, oh yeah of course 🔔🔔)!! Why don't the family visit in Europe's school holidays? Weather's okay and flights are a lot cheaper, (circa £400 each on a direct flight route).

Better call Sor. (Not Saul) 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

That's a lengthy excuse / alibi for the thug, Sor who did this. Perhaps it could be easier for Sor to try repeating, "What did you expect? After all I am Thai"? 😊🤔🤫🫣

3 months or 6 months visa issued on arrival. (With 6 months subject to showing proof of a basic level of financial means to stay in Thailand, eg: 50USD / day on account).. Immigration to do a better job of filtering out and / or turning around criminals arriving on passenger flight lists.

It says 8 million in the article. More than enough one would think?? (7,999,999 more than enough IMHO!!🤣).

Pot kettle black. What Thais don't think they're racist? Well I never would have guessed. They're more racist than the Klan towards those of Afro/Caribbean origin.

Waiting for Big Joke to back up this big joke of a sob story to justify more and bigger brown envelopes and extortion rackets for numerous police officers to 'indulge' themselves in!

Only Thailand could have a chief of fuzz openly known by the nickname of Big Joke. Pity over here we can't have Rishi Sunak openly known as PM Bad Joke for starters!

You're right. But at least here we don't give false smiles to pretend we like farangs!!

But wasn't he arrested on arrival back in the UK? So he'll get a 1 month suspended sentence, fine of £100 for punching the airline steward and a collection of Man U DVDs of the post Fergie years to watch on repeat for 7 days as his proper punishment!! 🤣🤣

What Thais fighting over money, gold and an inheritance, I never, really! Who'd have thought? Thailand one big soap opera of false smiles, greed and avarice washed down with a nod, (and a Yai), to Buddha for redemption.

Those peaceful, considerate smiley Thais yet again.. Freakin' psychos.

Hopefully! Confiscate his passport. Put a block on The Passport Office issuing a new one to the idiot. Register them on airline's block lists. I'd say for 20 years so his holiday choices are extremely limited. Might be a lesson to others intent on causing trouble and / or even endangering lives of other passengers and airline crews.

1st you need a police force and civil service that is not totally riddled with corruption and no accountability. Mind you not that those of us in the UK can comment seeing as our police authorities are found to be sadly lacking in transparency and integrity in many areas.

I will / I am and there will be a better woman somewhere in the future, but I shan't bother marrying.

Black Rock, Vanguard, Goldman Sachs and the other large international money players run governments and countries. They ultimately control everything, not puppets in government.

Download bank statements in pdf format from the bank's website. These will download in the 'traditional' bank statement format that you used to get in the post, complete with name, address, postcode and account number / type. Nationwide Bank, UK, don't make it easy navigating their site to get such a statement in pdf form, but the facility is there as I've done it for the visa purpose.

At last some nod to parity and 'fairness' in relation to visitor visas and duration of stay for other tourists from some of Thailand's traditional visitor / customer base, (UK, North America, Western Europe). However, while flights from Europe and the UK are still expensive to SE Asia, unless you fancy the Chinese airline routes with layovers, I see the market being limited to well off, free spirited early retirees in good health. Yes there's lots of these around, but also they do have plenty of choice in where to overwinter and cheaper flight costs for how to get there! But overwintering away from UK winters, politics and the high cost of basic living these days, somewhere sunny and cheaper than here, (ie: UK), does appeal to me. 😊

Absolutely correct. My Thai Mrs and her 11 year old daughter both explode without warning, zero build up, zero empathy or regards to safety. Never seen such a lack of personal self-control in people. I asked other farangs of their experiences with their Thais and sure enough apart from one of them, they all admitted to enduring dangerous episodes of Thai psychosis in the female form!

Porn Hub. That's deffo on it's list of 'achievements'! 🤔😂
