Immigration crackdown as Police hunt for foreign “mafia” here in Pattaya.

Acting on orders from the Immigration Office in Bangkok, Police Colonel Itipon, the Chief of Pattaya's Immigration Bureau led an operation in conjunction with the Labor Department and Social Welfare Department. The Immigration Officers visited a number of areas including Soi Yodsak and Soi LK Metro. We understand that they were on the lookout for foreign individuals that may be residing in Thailand illegally and made many passport checks during the operation. One man was arrested for failing to produce his original passport when requested by the officers. Bar licenses and the presence of underage workers were also checked and a total of 3 male employees under the age of 18 were discovered inside The Gentleman's Club in Soi Pattayaland 1, South Pattaya. We expect this Immigration Police Operation to continue and suggest that all foreigners should carry their original passport with them at all times.

since I have my originally Thai Driverlicens, I check even in Hotels around Thailand with that one in ...

I am Resident, I have to show at least ONE original Thai document - or?

I know we all should, though very few do, but it sounds like it may not be a bad idea to carry your passport until the current crackdown subsides.

I have to say I realized more how dangerous and unhealthy Thailand can be since having kids. In my home country, kids could play outside in pretty safe conditions, for sure safe from traffic, and the air and overall environment would be cleaner and less hazardous. Far less to worry from cars, motorcycles, dogs, or generally unsafe environments.

Also there's not a lot of places around where you can take young kids to play that are healthy and safe. Sure there's shopping center playgrounds and the like, but overall there seems far less 'family recreation' spots compared to Western countries.

Discuss.

I have been to many countries on this Earth - and in any country I found the same Circumstances, related to Money:

middle class or rich get a good education, have an acceptable environment with acceptable dangers - and the most important point is, with what kind of kids your kid is hanging around ....

look to the poors, even in the US - poor surrounding, limited education and be aware of the kids your kid is hanging around.

there is no perfect place ...

I have a Problem to control my Nerves - and have "sudden" inner Unrest, what I can only cure immediately with chemical Substances ! Using "Valerian" for Protection for these "Unrests" make me "dump" for certain Time ! Has anyone an Idea of another herbal Solution ( not St. Johns Wort - it makes me hyperactiv against Sunrays ) !

how can I arrange, that this new Tap displays Google as Deffault?

Do anybody know about the real Warrenty Law in Thailand ?

Does it make a Difference of a Company or a Product?

I am looking for a reasonable prized Transporter of several Items from Khao San Road in BKK to Pattaya -and sometimes back! Anybody has an Idea - or know a reasonable prized "collect-transporter" ?
