Some of the American laws now encourages people to Commit a Crime. The perfect example is the infamous CA proposition 47. After its introduction, mass looters' flashmobs start to ransack the retail shops openly. And such footages are often uploaded on Youtube.

Playing Poo-tin's hound. And that's what happened. Friend of the Crook is another Crook.

LOL. I have heard of the man who got burglarized 4 times in just 3 months...

"Singapore to be the safest city for tourists, with a negligible risk score of zero. Tokyo followed with a score of 10.72, then Toronto with 13.6, Sydney at 22.28, and Zurich at 22.97..." Regarding the theft risks, Sydney(and all of Australia) is a lot higher than Thailand You can never leave your bags(large or small) unattended. It can be gone in the matter of minute. Or even faster. Often, stealing other people's stuff is done as a Game among the jobless youth. How Do I Know IT? I have lived in a plural states of Australia for many years in the past. In terms of the transparency of the system, Australia is certainly the 1st world. But when it come to the level of the modern-day individual morality, it can look like the 3rd world unfortunately(throughout my experience 1980-90s. Some car drivers in big cities even reportedly toss their (still burning)cigarettes at the nearby cyclists as a sign of hate and contempt. And I should stress that I have never lived in any Rough Neighborhood during my residency period in Australia. Still, I can find out this much of the ugly sides of what you call More Advanced Nation.

Very true. Most ordinary good Thais are calm, gentle, and friendly to the strangers. Quite upsetting that some uneducated bad-mannered aliens take advantage of their non-confrontational attitude. I have been here for nearly 2 decades by now. And that is my evaluation of this kingdom and general tendency of the common people.

Just depends on How You Do It. I do it straight(fully meeting financial requirement every time) . But some people resort to the Back Door Method. Want to know more about it? Contact any of the visa brokers in Pattaya. And they will gladly tell you How...

Is BKK listed one of the worst dangerous towns in the world? I have been in Thailand for nearly 20 years. And sometimes visit the capital of this kingdom. But have never felt that way. If the tourist does something stupid, anywhere Can Be Dangerous. As long as they exercise their common sense and sufficient security precaution just like when they are back home, able to avoid many of the needless risks. I love Thailand and that is my perception of the Bangkok. Therefore, I conclude this sensation seeking article quite laughable.

60days visa-free stay with the approval of unlimited border runs? Congratulations to the expats under 50 YO. Looks like Thai visa policy is reverting back to the state of Pre-September 2006 period. It was when headaches of the Thailand expats started; Thai immigration bureau restricted back-to-back border trip for renewing no-visa stay permit; visa-waivers were no longer allowed to stay in the kingdom over 180days out of one calendar year. In 2010s, they also started to limit the number of times expats could apply for the tourist visa at the Thai embassy/consulate in the neighboring countries. And in August 2014, just after the military takeover, the dictator declared the abolishment of 2-entry tourist visa. And started to limit the border runs by land twice a year. I have even heard that some business travelers(by air) were turned back during that period. Now Thai bureaucrats' Empty Pride(They were groundlessly convinced that today's Thailand is in the state of of middle-income nation. Therefore, no needs to rely on the expenditure by expats) is gone. And part of the good old days is coming back. The best thing for the immigration to do is, doing the least for the best result to the whole nation. One of the very few excellent policies from the populist premier.

I bet most likely None instead. If they ever spend just 3 baths out of each B300- for the purpose they talked about, it will be a Miracle. Self-interest is the primary instinct of the Money Mongers in this kingdom. And the poor is always left to fend off themselves.

Urgent Reforms Needed to further promote Thai tourism? Forget about stupid B300- rip-off tax immediately for good.

Just a few days ago, they said they need to introduce B300- tourist rip-off levy to curb Overtourism. Today, they are worrying about the Downturn of Thai Tourism?

Rwanda's foreign tourist surcharge of $1500. And it is regarded An Excellent Policy, says the WTTC boss. What a great idea. Once Thailand goes for it, it will certainly solve the issue of Overtourism immediately. As many of the potential visitors will Start to Avoid this country. Mission accomplished at the expense of the livelihood of 10 millions people(relying foreign tourism here including their families) in Thailand. Followed by the cost the govt dreads; political unrest(just like previous regime faced during Coronavirus border blockade).

Speak roughly and carry a barking Pitt Bull LOL.

Picking A Badass. And the trickster’s nightmare starts from his driver's seat. From Here To Police Jail LOL.

What a stupid article. The headline is one thing. What the texts say is another. Chinese man stabs Thai waiter for stopping sexual assault According to the title, that Chinese man sounds like a hero tried to save the would-be victim of the sexual assault case. While contents say that (those) Chinese involved are senseless thugs who attacked the waiter without any reasons.

Begging in the streets. And the administrative attempts to stop it. Prohibition of begging in the streets. Looks like a long standing issue here. I recalled the previous regime also addressed this phenomenon. Thai Junta to Issue New Law Banning Begging (khaosodenglish.com) One interesting fact: Huge differences in the Perception of Beggers from country to country. In a place like India, it is regarded legal occupation: having a right to operate as the professional money solicitor in the public place(road and squared). Also entitled to the leftover food in the public markets; the first one to be given such stuff. Among the first world, the USA legally approves the act of begging; on the grounds of the Freedom of Speech(1st Amendment to their constitution). While it is illegal in a country like Japan. Their constitution states that people of their country Must: Get education. Work and Pay Tax. And their police force often keeps blind eyes even when the homeless seeks help from the savage attacks by the strangers in Main Stream Life. Saying you are not a tax payer(therefore unable to seek help from us). Until such incidences lead to the brutal murder case...

300-baht fee for foreign tourists. This fee was intended to establish a tourism development fund. Bullshxt. Be honest and say it is just another institutionalized theft to enrich 0.1% of the privileged money mongers of the kingdom, at the expense of the foreigners who can't strike back in vote. Completely lacking transparency, who is dumb enough to believe the money robbed from the tourist will be the used for the better being of the workers in tourism sector? I was certainly not Born Yesterday.

A little computer bug can cause all the mess out there. The mechanical malfunction and there will be a half-mile line of the irritating people. And then, they might conclude: Manual processing will be better and safer. Their online 90-day report does not always work. I know quite a few people who experienced it(including myself).

M.I.B(Men In Black)Thailand. The new breed of govt agency specialized in probing aliens' out space assets & income LOL.

I strongly believe that English-speaking accounting firms are behind this stupid move(new tax things targeting foreigners) In order to capitalize the anxiety among the 1st world expats. After my out-of-curiosity queries sent to 2-3 of such establishments, they were very keen to tell me that they can arrange advisory meeting for THB5000-17000/hour. Even when tax department cannot collect any money from those whose income is already taxed elsewhere, these firms can still at least make a good amount of money by making up a useless self-interested meeting with the worrying aliens in the name of Expert Advice. It might be just one-off occasion per individual. Earlier in the 21st century, Thai govt. started to allow foreigners to buy some of their over-produced condominiums. Due to the pressure from the housing developers(that were suffering the aftermath of late 1990s Asian Currency Crisis). To me, the same thing is happening again in the different field. What other people think about?

The first time he did the things right.

If that new tax really comes into effect, the real target is the Thai civilian billionaires/ mega Thai companies openly avoiding tax payment elsewhere. Small numbers of LTR holders won't be in the scope in the first place.

You cannot judge everything in Thailand with the first world standard common sense. Here, they often exercise what is unthinkable to you back home. That is why the joke below makes us laugh and makes sense. Same Same, but Different.

One common nature of the populist regime worldwide nowdays. Extremely boastful; often love to say more than they can really do. Disregarding their capabilities/legal definition. They mostly do that for their approval rate on SNS. Skip Article is the frequently used tool to serve that purpose.
