  1. I agree with you totally but I am unwilling to start a fistfight to resolve it. I will LOSE and we both know that.
  2. I noticed that right away when I read your post.
  3. You don't need to sell me on revision of this law. I was merely commenting on the reasons behind the extra security at the Constitutional court. My opinion doesn't count and neither does any politician opposing the status quo.
  4. I have never had a Thai person cut in line ahead of me. The Chinese tourists do it all the time. I refuse to get bent out of shape over Chinese rudeness.
  5. Pita will be lucky to escape imprisonment for daring to suggest revision of Thailand's LM laws.
  6. Barstewards. There is no rule of law in Thailand.
  7. I am RECOVERING. That is all I will claim. Others have different problems and situations. By their very nature, expats are a bit different than others since they left their home countries. Relatively few people ever do this, despite threats in political debates.
  8. I have no problems with the British government, I only know that the British Embassy decided that they would no longer issue Statutory Declarations of Income and the American Embassy decided to follow suit. This has created a myriad of problems for British and American expats who live in Thailand.. Many other countries see no problem in verifying income for their expats.
  9. I merely said the system is designed for the convenience of Immigration, rather than my convenience or yours. I stand by my statement. NOTHING is done by Immigration to enhance OUR convenience. They simply don't care.
  10. The system is not for OUR convenience but for THEIRS. Nearly as useless as American and British Embassies.
  11. Big Joke should jump right on this. Will he travel to the country where the farang is from and demand his extradition???
  12. "Dope on a rope" accurately describes many IO personnel. Thinking outside the box or knowing basic arithmetic is a bit beyond their pay grade.
  13. Bottom line...There IS NO OVERSTAY "PROBLEM". It is an invented problem by Thai Immigration. Even the overstayers are pumping large sums of money into the tattered Thai economy. Thai Immigration is merely trying to act like "the big boys". Compare this to America where the Immigrants have NO money and need to take crap agriculture jobs that no American wants. A totally manufactured problem. In both cases.
  14. Thailand needs all the perverts it can get. Carry on.
  15. Stick with places that need and want our business.
  16. Who the HELL wants to go to Turkey? Denmark and the Schengen Zone is first-world, not a developing backwater like Thailand. Imperial overreach.
  17. It's an old Thai principle called "Farang mai dee....we do because we CAN. Must show farang who is BOSS!!!"
  18. Immigration needs to start leaning heavily on landlords who shirk their responsibility to file a TM30. It is a national disgrace that expats are being shaken down for these pointless documents while the landlords do nothing.
  19. Laos and Cambodia are easier and lack the open hatred of farang. Visas are a breeze in both. True, the medical situation is not up to the standard of Thailand, but there's never any question of getting to stay, It's simple fee for service, as it should be.
  20. The Thai government???
  21. Ketchup contains sugar. Most Thai people like their food sweeter.
  22. Marcos or Frankies might be more to your liking. You seem to be fairly selective, though.
  23. When I was younger, Pattaya was more enjoyable. With age comes many infirmities and failures. You can't shoot pool with a rope.
  24. The term "Islamophobe” is now thrown around to describe anyone who takes issue with the violent cult of Islam. Non-violent Muslims get no press because they are not making headlines by behaving peacefully and rationally.
  25. Thailand has always benefitted from the "gifts" of the West. They have never appreciated the cultural advancements that farangs have brought to the country. The current hostile attitude of Thai Immigration is the best example of this. Odd that even the "Highest Institution" is fairly farang-friendly, but not the government.
