They don't require this document and never have.

I think the main point is - there's no way for them to check this information. A lot of people seem to think that each countries government simply hands over all your information when asked to do so by some random foreign government - for the most part they don't, unless you're the US and Canada in which case they share everything for whatever reason they decided to do so. If a full criminal record check was required or introduced then it's something you would need to get yourself from your home countries police force. This kind of check is requested if you want a work permit for certain jobs (teacher is one of them I believe) but it's not requested for this visa. Without this kind of home country record check then there's no way for them to check for routine day to day things like visas.

That's out of control greed for you..... I've observed this phenomenom a couple of times over the years and the people involved tend to get what they deserve in the end - which is nothing.

This country will be reduced to pariah status if appointees override the peoples choice. When that happens everyone will know who to blame.

Damn, this guy is far dumber than I originally thought and I already had him down as being pretty dim.

I would think there's zero uncertainty about his career. It's over. That's it.

The way I read it and this is from memory is that if you haven't been sentenced to 1 year or more in prison then you're all good. They may have changed the wording and requirements over the years though. Anyway, with such minor crimes (no prison sentence) then this is not going to be an issue. You will have no problem getting a Thailand Elite visa.

Perhaps another year in prison will teach him some manners?

Oh yes, they got him. Was on Thai TV news earlier.... Apparently he got into a taxi and told the driver to take him somewhere neat the Cambodia border, but the taxi driver was suspicious and spoke to the security. The way I heard it was they started asking questions and perhaps wanted to go to the apartment - at that point he ran away and jumped into another taxi. This prompted them to call the cops who found the body. To find where he was heading they asked the first taxi driver and despite telling this driver his destination he continued to the same destination - this guy is no 'Jason Bourne' - and he got caught so quickly due to being a little bit dim by the sounds of it.

That's right, it's the same with the dollar if anyone cares to check. The whole story is just an untruth - the markets did nothing, it's almost like nobody cares - which is probably near the truth. It's been ranging around this level since May 5.

In this place everything should be questioned.

If those senators are used to install a PM I think perhaps some millions of people would take issue with that.

Well they're not voting for a president here, it's a parliamentary system. Wouldn't the worst case scenario be that they are one MP down and they can choose another leader and there you have it - your new Prime Minister.

So it's not a company, which means he can't own any shares. Is the company traded on the Thai stock exchange and are his shares valid or not? A company that is not trading is not a company at all. I believe the term they use in the UK is 'dormant' and after a period of time being dormant they are no longer companies, I think the term is 'dissolved' but I'm not 100% on that. This is smaller Ltd companies though that are not publicly traded.

A confession means almost nothing without proof these days and if you don't know that by now then you're living back in the 70's.

I don't believe this was anything to do with drugs. It's about rape and murder by a prolific sex offender.

Don't count your chickens yet........????

Right ????

Oh I see, wow - that's a load off. All is well then.

Just straight up murdered at the same time? Lets see how long she's been dead for now they've inevitably found the body.

No, they can't. Why do you think that in order to get certain types of work permit you need to get a police report yourself and submit it to them? The reason is because the Canadian government are not stupid and don't hand over all their data to the Thais. They do however hand it all over to the US Government.

They can't do that so no, there is no background check outside of Thailand. If it was a requirement then it would be something you have to do yourself in Canada.

Here we go again, brace for widespread floods throughout the year ????

With people like this there is no line.

It's torture, that's what it is.
