Some of their establishments(diners to brothels) openly display "Japanese Only; No Foreigner Allowed in"... They might have had some bad experience with some ass*ole aliens though. While many other shops started to display notice in various languages including English. And migrant workers from SE Asia in Japan are sharply increasing(in retail, hotel, food & beverage sectors), making up their rapidly aging workforce. In recent years, they dramatically relaxed the requirements to be Eligible Foreign Workers. No longer need to be the Professionals with fine academic backgrounds, unlike yesteryears. Now shop assistants and construction workers can come to work in Japan. Even though it often comes with the Rip Off practice by the Visa Agents on both ends(their home country and destination). Making these poor people pay hefty fee, for arranging their legal status in Japan. Said to be no less than U$10000-15000; eye-popping amount to them In other words, they usually owe the Big Debt, before they start to work there(and gradually pay it back as they work). It is mostly their own kinds who prey on these migrant workers...

All Aliens in Close Surveillance? In Jan-Feb period alone, they got 3.7 millions foreign visitors. And Thailand is said to be expecting 40 millions for this whole year. In reality, they can't even place cops on busy roads for the traffic watch, how can they do this? Looks like Tax Chief isn't the only one of Empty Bark. I noticed something about these Big Talks that make headlines from time to time. It is often mouthed in order to satisfy some overly nationalistic people here. Or in some cases, for the purpose of quelling the resentment among the poor(by posing tough stance against the superrich of the nation). In this context, he looks like intending to deter some Alien Haters from doing something stupid that harms Thailand's reputation as the popular tourist destination. Just like saying, 'We do it for you, so don't do anything drastic against when you spot some Unruly Tourists...'.

What are you cooking today? (2025)
black tabby12345 replied to black tabby12345's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Good morning. Today's breakfast: Stuffed Omelet Bowl. Ingredients: Cold rice, and (pre-cooked) chicken mince, onion, pumpkin, garlic shoots, potato, soy milk, tofu(bean curd), and raw egg. Seasonings: Chicken stock, soy, oyster, fish sauce, grated ginger(if you use any meat). Stuff can be anything that suits your taste (e.g. chopped up bread, other kind of meat, canned tuna, or vegetable only. Can go with/without soy milk). It takes skill to make an omelet with stuffing in it. But if you use a bowl like this, and a microwave, it is pretty easy. Put your favorite ingredients in a bowl, and mix them well with seasonings. And then, pour 1-2 beaten egg(s) on that. It will be tastier if you put small amount of stock in the beaten egg as well. Finally, put a gentle cover on top of the bowl, and cook it for 3-5 minutes or so, in a microwave at 500-600w. Time duration depends on the type you got. -

Their most unknown exports.: Cyber Criminals? And what actually happened to them, after Malaysia sent them to China, instead of their home country(Taiwan)? Were they jailed there? Or started the same again there? -

Hi, you are in Malaysia? Taiwan's govt kicked out own criminals to the mainland of China, after they were expelled from Malaysia? Quite amazing. Thank you for sharing what you knew about scamming business over there. Have a good day. -

In terms of Security Threat, Taiwan is the one facing the biggest... calls it their "Core Interest"=object of takeover by force -
A foreign country is nothing like an Almighty One Stop Shop that automatically senses and caters for your unspoken needs/wishes. After all, what are you after in your life yourself? If this country doesn't suit you, may be better start looking for somewhere else where you can feel any happier...

Don't go to Thailand due to Higher Fraud Risk? Overreaction at laughable level. The funniest kind of Overseas Safety Information I have ever heard of. It is often a lot more exaggerated than reality. But not as absurd as this... -
Whatever behind its history, Thailand was the only SEA nation that kept independence through the age of imperialism. And the Buffer Zone thing was not the only factor. Significances behind their independence: Rapid modernization (1851-68 during the reign of King Rama4th and 5th). Renewal of their legal system, introduction of compulsory education(utilizing temples), railway, and telegraph, administrative reform, abolishment of slavery etc. Skillful diplomacy including Territorial compromise(giving up nearly 40% of its area to France; Thai-French Treaty in 1840. Vast area of Lao used to be Thailand before that). Relatively strong military(in SEA standard). Western advisors to set the course of their diplomatic policies. https://www.google.com/search?q=thailand's+strategy+to+stay+independent+during+the+age+of+imperialism&sca_esv=eb707a05b5531bd8&sxsrf=AHTn8zrgHb2o6FjqJ_Y4SdOwfUloKeMZyw

Foreigners Face New Hurdles in Opening Thai Bank Accounts
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
One biggest (untold) loophole. It is the fact that they don't question(or turn over) other bureaucrats' decision. As long as that extension stamp itself is genuine(not counterfeited), they can't find fault with that. I know someone who had his retirement o extended outside regular cycle through visa broker(in 2015): He said that the agent told him further extension might not be available due to military regime's crackdown on visa cheat. And he believed it, asked them to have extended it at otherwise wrong time. When he came back to Thailand from the neighboring country, he was stopped at the point of re-entry. Once the immigration man saw red(finding out he is cheating), but eventually allowed in. And his subsequent extension has never been affected by that incident at that border...
