Thai Authorities Nab 17 Foreigners in Island Immigration Raids
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Thank you for your kind reply. This whole world has both Good and Bad Guys, among any counties/colors/majority and minority groups. Same applies to the illegals; certainly in their Human Qualities. But the laws often don't take account of that factor. While some few countries give illegal aliens a chance(in case of being a Model Citizen). I have heard US immigration act have some remedy clause: Cancellation of Removal(spared from deportation and made eligible to apply for Permanent Residency). Conditions: If the Illegal Entrants/Overstayers have stayed there for 10 years during which they have continuously worked and lived in the law abiding manner(no offences). us immigration remedy for illegal aliens after 10 years stay - Google Search After my settlement here, I started feel we are very fortunate. Born in the country of strong economy. Brought up with sufficient level of education. Paid salary/wages in the wealthy country's currency... What first world people take for granted, is often a kind of luxury to others on the other side of the world. The very first start line of life is determined by sheer luck; where we are born. Often makes all the differences throughout the life... -
Try to gain entry with the Fake Visa. Quite a silly thing to do now days. Unlike half a century ago, visa business is all online and linked to the central department's data base(supposedly). The immigration can instantly check out its legitimacy. It is not like getting a false birth/academic papers at home(foreign immigration unable to clarify). Looks like the bearer of such international counterfeit document was tricked into believing it works(by the malicious Black Market broker back home). The poor guy...

Thai Authorities Nab 17 Foreigners in Island Immigration Raids
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
I have absolutely no sympathy with low life Rif Raffs or dangerous vicious (foreign) criminal gangs feeding on, and harming the innocent. But feel in a different way for those Illegal Workers not committing any common crimes other than immigration violation here. Some are forced into the situation where they had to flee home countries. Because of the war, persecution, scarcity of job prospect while willing to work...ended up as the victims of circumstances. I noticed something while reading about those Illegal Aliens busted while working without permit in this kingdom. They often find their living space in a rather Niche Market(=field), not covered by others(or having shortage of the labor). -

Thailand’s Destination Visa loophole that could cost you
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The DTV is effectively a five-year tourist visa... ------------------------------------------------------------- Just like Retirement O(12months' validity, no need of 3 monthly border trip) is the technically One Year tourist visa. -
Thailand’s Destination Visa loophole that could cost you
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The much-hyped Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is proving to be more of a bureaucratic headache than a dream ticket. While Bangkok Immigration (Division 1) has published criteria for extending the visa by six months, these guidelines aren’t binding on provincial offices, leaving holders navigating a minefield of uncertainty. ------------------------------------------------------------ Thai bureaucrats' Empty Pride & Public Stance demonstrated again. When the government does something 'Too Nice' for aliens, they feel Obliged to Do Some Form of Harassment to spoil their joy (simply to show They Are There). Or they do it for their expectation for Kick-Backs under the table in Brown Envelops from the Visa Broker? The kind of scenario I can easily imagine: Individual application for its extension: May be Denied. But different story if Visa Agent comes between them(foreigners and immigration office). Just like China's military, Thai immigration often runs on Unspoken Profit Motive. -

black tabby12345 replied to black tabby12345's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Hello, rice cooker is the very versatile device, isn't? A lot more than many people thinks. I also like beans very much. Your post encouraged me to do it at home. I currently eat peanuts each day(as the easiest bean to eat; can be taken without any further processing) though. Thank you for giving me a good inspiration. -

Thank you for your kind reply again. As it is a very dense bread, do you slice it thinly when you eat it? So when you eat it, do you usually thinly slice it? -

Thank your for your speedy reply. 17x12cm and 700g? Is it a high density bread? 17cm is shorter than the length of one loaf bread(700g). So I felt it might feel heavier when picked up. -
