You think that the shop keepers saw me looking bored and thought to themselves  " I will overcharge him so he can post about it on TVF" ?

   

No!

I suspect you looked in the mirror and thought "I will just make a post on TVF which has nothing to do with the topic under discussion."

When a Thai tells you anything, they really mean 'give me money'.

What a lovely attitude to have towards your hosts!

Nagging anti-Tourist expats on the visa forum make posting here an unpleasant experience at times.

"Takes one to know one" is the expression that first comes to mind followed by "when in a whole stop digging!" as a more appropriate one in your case.

Yes. I'm that nasty regular visitor the stays in Thailand too much and should be back home where I belong.

I am so glad you agree that you have been abusing the system and now that the unexpected has caught you and your ilk out I have no sympathy at all.

Good bye!

USA has 300k Thai residents I believe. We've taken in thousands of refugees from the region and surely would have done the same for Thailand. If only Americans knew how the Thais treat us here they wouldn't be so generous in the future.

Are you claiming to be a refugee from the US to Thailand?

If not what is the relevance of your post?

I can't remember a time when the immigration was ever on our side. 

Immigration Departments of all countries are on the side of their Governments as that is who employs them!

but what is the rationale?

What is the "rationale" behind so called "tourists" complaining that they have been caught out by trying to buck the system for so long with their border hops, fake "agent" extensions etc,

the owner of the house I rent

It seems to me that if you are renting a house then you were/are not a tourist.

Given the absolute shambles tourism is currently in, I still can't believe they're going to send all these tourists home without even offering some alternative visa.

 

What's the explanation for this behavior?

They were tourists, not residents,

How many are still betting on another extension to the "amnesty" now?

Another U=turn in COVID policies!

I thought due to social distancing requirements we were advised to use contactless payments in shops and credit cards online for deliveries.

What do you call a mind reading satnav?

A Tell-a-path,

Sorry I know you saw that coming but I wandered off!

My wife broke her SatNav and wants £150 for a new one.

Being skint I told her to get lost.
