HOOD Robin

mother didnt have a scratch while she was holding the baby in her arm while she ran outside ? hmmmmmm

Just the other week TAT made a statement that tourism is up by so many percent,

Now it's not reaching the target ?

And tomorrow?

It's hard to understand why TAT always struggles to tell the truth

Bunch of idiots.... like so many other "official" authorities in Thailand

Good. These corrupt people will only act when someone stronger forces them too. Gotta love ot when the army cuts through the red tape and corruption and orders them to do their jobs!

Cant wait to see the military starting the CLEAN UP in Pattaya, starting with all those (red) corrupt officials and police officers (let the bargirls take care for their families, but remove those ladyboys and other female hookers from Beach Road for once and always !)

i know, they started already cleaning in city hall and police station... but there is more to wipe out...

Oh and BTW please dont pitty all those poo yai owners of the biggest entertainment places in Walking str as those are probably build with "dirty money"...

If they can do it in Phuket they can also do it in Ptty

hang those bastards ! happens too much in TH !

Why not just FORBID all those soaps !?

They only lead to more killing, raping, stealing.....

And NO Mr General, we dont need all that patriotism in there since there is already enough of that shit in schools EVERY day !

That sounds like Russian mafia style execution. I thought they were cleaning Pattaya up of Russian Mafia

LOL... while ago Chonburi police chief said there is NO Russian mafia here....

ALIENS ???? Why not INVADERS !?

They just dont have any respect for us...

Every country in the world should call the local Thais also something similar......

Bet BKK will contact their embassadors to mention this to the interior ministers !

Look at that police lad in the centre in the background... really looking worried... "hopefully they dont know about my bad behaviours yet" i can read from his face....

The chap in the centre wearing a beret is most likely an Army officer, though the picture is not clear enough to be sure. I am not sure regular BiB wear berets?

The Pattaya BiB Boss ALWAYS wears a beret... on ANY pic i've seen on TV...

Look at that police lad in the centre in the background... really looking worried... "hopefully they dont know about my bad behaviours yet" i can read from his face....

Probably moved to an inactive post as punishment

for sure !

"Patong beach now seems more beautiful than beaches in Hawaii in the US, while Hua Hin has now become more upmarket and looks costly," Prakit said.

This bloke certainly doesn't travel very much...

i'm sure that lad can not even point Hawaii on a world map !

There are many factors involved in a decision making. Once emergency has been contained, they have thought of, what to do with 156 passengers. Accomomdation for them, where is better maintenance base as oppose to no maintenance facilities although closer to the route as you are suggesting... Current weather and forecast perhaps? Do we have to land within 5 minutes or can we fly another 45? Fuel availabilities at diversion airport?
So, sit back, relax and enjoy your coffee. There is someone out there thinking those things for you.

Thanks... your answer makes totally sense comparing with some ridiculous others....

flight from Nakhon Sri Thammarat to Bangkok.... what  are they doing in Phuket as this is not on their route.... ?  

Are these baboons on drugs ?

i see all of us wandering in the streets with Songkran and carrying our passports.... lol   

Ridiculous OP post

Is this forum a Kindergarten ?

 

 Hate to tell you but .. I told you so, on 16.5.2014: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/726721-thai-immigration-is-determined-to-prevent-abuse-of-visa-exceptions/?p=7834434

I think the Junta is going to start clamping down harder on foreigners.  I get the feeling we are not welcome in the new Thailand.

 

This is no news "we are not welcome here"   

 

 

It looks like this is just Hua Hin at the moment.

 

I don't really see what it is all about. I am ok that you have to carry ID on you at all times, this is the same as many countries but the reporting of your residence within 24 hours is just silly. 

 

If you are here on holiday and staying in a hotel then its not likely you are going to move. 

If you are here on holiday travelling around the country then you won't bother with all that nonsense

And if you are here longer term then you report your address to immigration every 90 days anyway.

 

So, the authorities data is likely never much more then a couple months out date anyway. This looks like a lot of additional administration,, does anyone ever think these things through?

 

If they want to find someone urgently for a serious matter then those people are unlikely to disclose whereabouts and just get someone else to do the tenancy agreement.

 

Whats next? Microchip with GPS tracker on entry?

 

It all seems a little unnecessary and yet another bureaucratic process making foreigners feel even more unwelcome, the vast majority of which are normal, decent people. I like the fact that the military "seems" to be squashing the old corruption and trying to clean things up but I am slowly getting the feeling that its time to say goodbye to this land and earn my living somewhere else.

 

 

 

I totally agree. I is silly and yet another way of making decent foreigners feel unwelcome. I am also starting to look for another country, since I am getting more and more sick of these "signals" towards foreigners here. And while corruption is still very much alive here, new enforcements are nothing else than new ways of getting more money and making things more complicated.

 

 

+1 feel the same way, if things carry on this trend i'll be packing up too

 

+1  !!!

And then they are surprised tourists stay away from Thailand ! Also long stayers like myself will move out from Land Of Scam ! They really treat us like criminals !

And then there is this :

Penalty:

Failure to carry valid ID as above is 2,000 Baht.

That's what all the shit is about... GREED !!!   

For what is this stupid report?

Stop talking about them, stop reporting

For whom is it good?

a friend of mine did karaoke, too with his sister.

But I could not see any report.

May be because he is not a criminal?

He also did not steel billions from a country,

he did not order murders and he did not cause friendly people to hate each other

AMEN !!!

 

He added that he felt sorry for people who would lose their businesses but the authorities must do everything right, and Thai society must change from now – “No more ‘Mai Pen Rai’ or being too flexible about everything.

 

brilliant 

​ive been saying this exact thing for years , especially when it comes to the construction business, and many peoples shoddy/non existent  workmanship 

Brilliant my ass - nothing left at Surin beach now - not a single facility. 

 

In my opinion this has gone a bit to far. 

 

Too far ?  WHY ????

It's becoming time that they teach all those poo yais a lesson !

And Pattaya will follow, especially in WS at the beach side.....

Hooray for this General !  make him PM !!!  

As I have pointed out on many times . Thailand is a member of Interpol so the Thai's could easily have them (the Shin's) arrested and extradited back.

UNFORTUNATELY this will never happen

Money talk !

I for one salute the authorities currently cleaning up a lot of mess. 

i hope they will continue for months and years to come !  

And get rid of those police mafia thugs !

(maybe the highest ranked of them will fly to Paris these days...      )

12 y old and addicted on games ,drugs ,not afraid..... of nothing ....
