there is always someone trying to be a smart ### on these forums - hate to say this but very likely from the US, not all are like that but when you come across the "I am always right" argument - the are often from the USA and will not be told or accept any reality but their own - pretty sad really and for those from the USA - read very carefully what I said, a very small percentage of people seem to have this attitude and are more often from the USA

may I suggest you read the OP again, strictly by law you are correct but a copy or photo of relevent pages of your passport are generally accepted, it has been that way for a very long time

very true, people staying here without proper permission to stay are very likely funding their stay by any illegal means possible - and I mean through criminality

go back 3 years and list 3 things this clown has done right, I cannot think of 1

who voted for him in the first place ??????????

hardly a surprise, it is damaging tourism, any of my friends who have come here recently will not be back in Thailand until this is sorted out

only the people can remove him and his cronies - it would not end well, in the world of history it is called a civil war/uprising/rebelion etc etc , I hate to say it but Thailand has yet to have one in recent history - it is long overdue unfortunately

ask the people - simple from many Thais that I know the general feeling is they want you gone 3 years ago along with all your unelected cronies - who exactly voted for you ??????????????????????

The problem with Thai politics is that parties win elections not individuals, so anyone who is in a party that gets the most votes can be a DPM even though that individual was not actually elected by the people, it is not proper democracy

more likely an inside job

what

let us know how it goes

and of course the many street vendors - where do they source their product ?, of course it is all highly regulated by authorities - standards are well maintained here,

oh

they are illegal no matter what you put in them

hookah burners are illegal just like e-cigaretts besides that - this constant onslaught on entertainment venues is harming tourism, people are getting very angry with the authorities here - it needs to stop now

did they check his finances for being unusually wealthy before retiring him, being a public prosecutor I am sure he is beyond reproach

where there episodes of uncontrled laughter at these venues I remember (years ago) causing myself an injury because I laughed so much while smoking weed - oh and my 2 fav albums while in the throws - Pink Floyd the Wall and Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - the latter being my all time fav - the wall coming a close 2nd

disturbing

Police threating tourists = with srrest, welcom to new Thailand, - shooting themselves in the foot as usual - I know of 6 people who came here for a holiday 3x times a year who will not be back until they sort this ### out Thailand right now is not a great place to visit

well done - so many drunk divers off the roads I was in a pub at 2:20 and finishing off a beer I had bought - already paid my bill - I asked them W## they thought they were doing, why are you harrasing me - I paid my bill already .............no answer - just a blank look, I did finish my beer sitting outside - what are they trying to achieve with this stupidity - at a time when tourism is the number one objective and yet they are trating tourists like this .............it really is stupidity beyond comprehension - stupid is what stupid does - talk about shooting themselves in the foot - the mind really does boggel whn it comes to Thailand - stupid beyond belief PS - I finished my beer outside on the street an proceeded to drink for another 2 hrs ............................. tourism Thailand - welcome to Chinathai

...................Knife-wielding suspect claimed he needed money for his sick mom..................... Get a ### job you lazy ###

absolute rubbish, it will free up police to actually go after drunk drivers instead of running around ent venues harrassing people - the only thing that will reduce drunk driving is the police doing their ### job

I was out last night and 2am comes very quickly, sitting in a busy pub at 1:45am and everyone was told to leave, every customer (tourist) in the place was very angry - a holiday night out came to an abrupt end just when it was beginning - this is total ## If Thailand wants tourists they are going to have to get this country back to normal (pre Covid) and fast, friend of mine who came here for a holiday over the last 6 months will not be returning until they get this sorted out.

lets be clear - the driver of the white pickup went through a red light, it matters not a jot the location of this traffic light YOU STOP ON RED period
