guys. maybe some of you don't know this. but did you know a lot of thai people read the postings on this forum?
Best not be too honest in our assessments/opinions/worries/specualtions on what's going on in regards to farang in Thailand then. Surely we don't want to make any locals think that we are being ungrateful guests or being critical of what their government thinks is best to do in order to make things more difficult for "non-wealthy farang" (an oxymoron in most Thai people's eyes!).
But on a less sarcastic/cynical note (which always works well in Thailand), it'd be nice if Thai folks tuning in here (and those that don't as well) could see that farang aren't treated very fairly and that it could have serious repercussions for businesses/English education/families/etcetc. in Thailand. Most could argue that "we don't need you anyway--we don't care." A sad argument really--but I've heard it argued before.
I often wonder what the government has in store for Thai people as well--after all, poor Thais are just like stray dogs according to the BKK governor. This worries me even more than these pathetic new visa laws
