smedly

and is the bar still open lol love to hear the conversation at the police station

hope the money doesn't end up in deep pockets - what is the possibility ?

so they asked a few tourists - why you come to Thailand - they obviously don't understand western humour, they are hardly going to say what they are really doing in the biggest brothel on the planet lol too funny

they missed one of the most popular - being forced to go home at 2am under threat of arrest

and to further define it .............................. I also said in quotes "in Thailand"

if don't understand very basic english then too bad, here is a clue. "two words"

so ? pretty sure you are not paying 14k+ are you, if you are then fool you I could do the same for 3-4kbaht but why would I when I do it myself for 2k

read my post very carefully

huge

does it bother you

by far the biggest corrupt practice involving IO I have observed over years is when people use agents to circumvent the financial requirements for 12 month extensions, pretty much every person I know uses an agent and does not meet the financial requirements "in Thailand" for either bank balance or income, bribes are paid to circumvent the rules

never, what a shock

yawn

what they don't seem to realise is that it is having an impact on tourism - nobody wants to come to Thailand if they being constantly harrassed by police at 2am and 12- 1am being around the time they are ready for a nightclub/disco - hardly much point going for 30mins is there, before covid there were many places open and busy for those that wanted it ........... what changed ??????? - stupid got firm grip on things and as usual fail to see the harm they are doing

mostly for failure

what a joke, how about getting the police to do their job and actually catch drunk drivers "before" they crash, 12am onwards is a good start 4am closing will have no effect on people getting into/onto a vehicle and driving while intoxicated - zero effect

do you carry yours everywhere ???????? ### give it a rest will yah

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
