Immigration officers told to increase screening of foreigners in Thailand
Anyone wondered, what percentage or severity of the crimes committed in the kingdom can be assigned to foreigners compared to " netizens"? Is it really so worrisome or there is some distraction game at play.

Thai Government Intensifies Crackdown on Foreign Criminals to Protect Tourism
Just a thought. If any of those alleged criminals doesn't get convicted will their visa be reinstated? Fat chance 😉 What a legal system, if there ever was one.

Changing Non-O retirement visa to Non-B
I hope I can get some good advice here from you folks. I learned that I have to leave the country to cancel my retirement visa without reentry permit. There are two ways of doing it. 1. 1. Going to Embassy with all the paperwork for Non-B. ( in my case Vientiane Laos) 2. 2. Crossing land border to Laos (Chiang Khong) and returning the same day to Thai immigration and enter Thailand on tourist visa based on visa-exemption and do the Non-B at the local immigration office. The second option would be much cheaper but here’s my question. One of the conditions to get visa exemption is to have confirmed return ticket exiting Thailand within 30 days. Do you think the immigration would let me in without an air ticket? I plan to have all the paperwork for Non-B with me. Thank you very much in advance.

Thainess. What is it?
Here's an easy explanation. Thainess is similar to Englishness ???? On a serious note, I was once asked by the head of English department in one of public high schools to translate a text and there was a word Thainess "Kwam Pen Thai" (ความเป็นไทย). Instead of Thainess I translated it to Thai culture, traditions and values. I explained to my boss that Thainess was invented by someone Thai and could not be used in the same meaning with other nationalities. Though, I don't know what happened to may translation ????

Buckle up! New law makes taxis ensure passenger wear safety belt
A couple of years ago on the way to Don Muang airport from downtown BKK I stopped a taxi and as per usual sat at the back seat, to my surprise I could not find the seat belt attachment. After five minutes struggle driver finally managed to take it out under the seat and we were happily on our way. Has things changed since than? Just wondering.

Nationwide Milk Shortage
I replaced cow milk for my daily coffee with coconut milk. It does not kill off polyphenols from coffee nor from tea. Healthier choice. This shortage is well orchestrated with the aim of price hike.

Thailand Hikes Entrance Fees for Foreign Visitors at Historical Attractions
The local temple in Lamphun has just introduced an entrance fee of 50 THB for foreigners. Of course you have to be white or black as they can not spot the foreigners of other Asian nationalities. I find it so disheartening that after 20 years of visiting the temple I've just quit visiting it. I think this is a consequence of intentional narrow nationalistic approach to education during last 20 years.
