And to think ... Many Farrang sold up everything in their western homes. ...To make Thailand their home.

Fools...It never can be...Tolerated guests is the best it can ever get.

It's not just much of Africa,and domains to the South China Sea,that have sold their souls. to China.

Huge loans,with virtual impossibility to pay back, to allow China to extract what it wants.

It is very sad that a previously self sustaining nation like Thailand,succumbing to greed with their neighbours China with get rich quick. loans...Andthe Devil may care as to future generations.

Thai Rak Thai ???...I begin to wonder.

Hitherto .... And thankfully the Odious EU finds itself devoid of UK funds...It to is seeing COVID19,bringing reality home to roost.

Be careful where you make your home folks.

I think even at 70 Baht to The £, with other currencies enjoying similar returns.... Thailand in general, will struggle to recapture it past splendours. The Currency has been kept falsely high ,as have the Chinese kept theirs falsely low for selfish economiv reasons of the wealthy elite. Massive Over development...especially Phuket. Never reforming dreadful safety standards that see many unnecessary Injuries/Deaths. Then of course year upon year of abuse to the tourists to which you clamour. The frequent changing of the Visa Goalposts for ExPats and long term repeat visitors,has been insulting. Is it no wonder the neighbours have been enjoying better times,much of which is made up by disgruntled Ex-Pats that have spat the dummy and upped sticks.

Even the "Thai Intelect" adheres to the mantra of "Copying Others".

Pray to The Almighty... "Dirty Farrang" Scientists do not beat Thai Boffins to a vaccine... That would cause massive loss of "Face".

Revising Visa requirements... Scrapping the proposed Thai Insurance policy...and OH bring your Baht into a realistic exchange rate...then such optimism may be well founded.

The perfect means to initiate the 2nd Wave... A-La-Spanish Flu 1918 Scenario... 5+Million fatalities will be easily surpassed. 

I doubt this and other related articles concerning "Dirty Farrangs"...will receive TV media coverage...Let alone a grateful acknowledgement from Khun Anutin.

Anybody got 10 Baht to drop in The Honesty Box???

The sort of people that believe the information being peddled on this ...are the kind of folk that would buy dry sand off a market stall next to The Sahara.

While understanding that Farang means White Caucasian,Its an abhorrent term to use. As it is when White Caucasian folk use the word Yellow,..... With a few choice expletives added.

When will they understand that it is the bad exchange rate that is keeping them away and is expected to get worse next year and a potential double entry visa might attract a few tourists but I doubt many would consider staying longer costing more money .

Indeed The Exchange rate has hurt many folk.

However not so many complaining pre 2008... or further back when it briefly afforded over 100 Baht to the £

Fast forward.. to The ExPats reeling and whinging 

working out teir living arrangements on current trends.

just as folk do with loans and personal income.

Failure to alow for changes in the markets.. Shates mortgages etc.

compound that to selling up completely in their land of origin.. to negate income.. and an escape parachute 

???????? is not and never been your country to dictate terms... You are a tolerated guest at b st.. even if married to a Thai.

Amazing Thailand ????????  

So many qualified investigators here.fastening the noose already.

Hang him by all means with a good prior flogging as well....IF he is found Guilty.... NOT BEFORE,

Why Don't people just get an International Driving Permit (IDP) from ones own country....?

Unless of course the person has not passed The test in his own country.

Then that is a mickey take to go down the illegal route in Thailand.

I noticed Thailand is getting more and more quiet the past two years..as the Recession from USA Europe is hitting home in Thailand.

Crime Scams Cheating are therefore well on the UP...This is no excuse however.

Thailand ..The Land of Smiles..is fast becoming The Land of Viles with this increased amount of incidents and bad publicity posted on Thai Visa.

Good Heavens,

Thai people cheating to gain an unfair advantage over their own people...whatever next??/

I am astounded...any would seek to stain their otherwise 100% integrity.

How about the Non Thai idiots that sold up or moved to live there ,as Ex-Pats... actually believing they belong in Thailand....and can own FREEHOLD land/property there...paying the extortionate prices charged.

Sadly more evidence of the Blair/Brown legacy of 3 dreadful governments...IE The Yob Benefit Dross Culture ever present...ever breeding... and ever poncing on and blighting decent British Society.

Self exile, with a private jet, cooks and serving staff, chauffeurs,

international travel, and his OWN PERSONAL ISLAND...

and what ever he wants, EXCEPT coming back to Thailand.

Most issan people would be ecstatic just to live in his bathrooms.

Hell, living in his cars would be an improvement for many.

The guy is an ego maniac and has no connection with the real Thai people.

Maybe in jail he might actually meet some.

If he's buying the coffee...Can i have a Latte please?...And will his reconcilliation by means of football...involve Huge expenditure on Chelsea Man City signings for Chonburi Utd.???

Vote with your feet...Do not go in these places....Keep an eye on your Check-bin...better still your Thai G/f to do it...Don;t get smashed...or angry towards Thais.

Yes agreed on The Russians...why this reciprocal Visa agreement exists with Russia is beyond me...must be good corruption income.Very brash aggressive and ignorant culture.

Germans...never known them to be aggro in Phuket...they have a huge community in Naklua...with many great bars and restaurants at sensible prices.They hate the Russians...with good reason..."Don't mention the War".

Does this survey really matter???...We are... and always have been tolerated guest of the Kingdom of Thailand.

We have little or NO RIGHTS...Owning a Motor Bike, Car Mobile Phone...Holding a Bank Account is as good as it gets.

Thaksin made a lot more hoops for the dross element of Tourist/Ex-Pat community,to jump through...Rightfully so.

I do not see a problem with his return...Or the current Administration.But then i know my place...and respect i am a guest and always will be.

Go Thailand..... enjoy..Rent...Pay your way..obey the rules Then go your way...must and is... is the best way.

Better Still...Ban these awful contraptions that pollute the sea..and ruin otherwise pretty tranquil locations with their awful noise...set up inland at a water park away from the beaches.

They sorted similar issues out in The Lake District UK some years back...beauty order and tranquility was restored.

What does he mean,,,Ruining the Islands reputation,??

It's been trashed for some years now...Overpriced Scams Jet-ski and Tut Tuk Mafias mugging off tourists...Is it no wonder many leave vowing never to return...and frequent holidaymakers are no longer coming back.

The Taxi and Tuk Tuk system has been a shambles for years...Patong's Road layout is ideal for a 10 baht Song-tail(Baht Bus ) system ...That has operated in Pattaya for many years,with Taxi Meter Cabs coming and going without fear of reprisal.

It's time Phuket and many parts of Thailand understand their is a recession on....and they have to try harder to entice customers...rather than raise prices scam cheat their way to make a living.

Yes Indeed...This guy can rightfully claim his place ...right there next to the best of other Political Numbnuts...Obama Bush Blair Cameron Brown Gadaffi.....

Funny how they do not find the huge amount of Farrang investment and Tourism input...Inappropriate.

The run up to the election is what they should be concerned with first. Then monitor the voting place. Let the people police themselves . The Thai voter as do other countries voters deserve what they legally vote into office. When, not if, unlawful acts are alleged/proven, disqualify every candidate of that party in the Province. Then press charges against those involved.

Sorry let me rephrase that.

Do not allow foreign independent witnesses in the first place.

1) Monitor the whole process yourself so that you can see if any voting deviates from that with which you wish.

2) Whatever the end result people deserve it (unless it doesnt happen to be the end result that we want in which case we will change it.)

3) If individual results are not to our liking we will disqualify the candidate and anyone who is connected to him from the election.

4) We will then charge them (maybe) and lock them up.

5) P.S. if you think you are going to vote in Thaksin again, you must be joking.... you have tried that at least twice and we have made it clear that it is unacceptable. So please stop.
