Its not the only one. You wouldn't want to be in the UK and especially London at this time.

I personally know of a dozen small hotels and a couple of guest houses who don’t ask foreigners for ID. I won’t name them or say exactly where, but KK. There are also some small places who take the details but do not report them to immigration, our establishment being one of them. It can be a big problem for some, who do not have the means to inform immigration electronically. Why should they have to drive, in some cases long distances, just to report one or two foreigners per month or more. Like many other things in this country, no sensible thought put into things, they see as important. The TM30 is very obviously a racial discrimination thing. I can’t say it has impacted me in any way, on my last two visits to immigration, a TM30 has not been mentioned. Neither has it at any time in all my years staying in Thailand, including leaving and returning on a number of occasions and spending time in other provinces. I don’t see thing changing any time soon though, with the Muppets that are in charge at the moment. On the other hand, nothing is consistent, so I could be totally wrong.

Only once had a very minor problem at Khon Kaen. Won’t go into detail as that officer is no longer there. Other than that I have always had good service since the office opened.

Also seems to clean the insides of English people, given their odd partiality to throwing vinegar on their chips and most other foodstuffs.
Life-expectancy has gone sharply down in the U.K. over the last few years, by the way.
Coincidence? I think not.
I quite like my chips with Sarsons Malt Vinegar, their not chips otherwise. And life expectancy has nothing to do with vinegar, I used to drink the stuff by the pint and I'm still going strong, thanks.

You guys are such sour-puss's
A TM30 app would take 95% of the pain out of the process.
If I want to be a sour puss, I have every right.
The TM30 would take possibly 95% of the pain out of the process...IF AND WHEN WE EVER GET IT.

It's more than the TM 30, the TM 28, the cancelling of letters of income for extension renewal for most of us, and the fact that once you renew your passport you must go out of the country before the online 90 days will work again. It's also the ever present hints about the requirements for health insurance coverage that costs more than the procedures they cover and all the exclusions and the notion that Thailand feels like it's not getting enough with the 800,000 bank requirement and so now forces us to keep 400,000 in the bank all year round and 800,000 for five months. All that and laws that can be cancelled, changed, dropped, enforced, or forgotten about on a whim. That is why I not only stopped traveling a year ago within Thailand but stopped making major purchases for appliances and other goods that were getting old. I just repair and get by now on spending less than 20,000 per month, whereas I was spending 90,000 per month and more beforehand. I will not commit more than a penny I have to until this place gives me a better fix on what it has in mind for the future of all of us.
How long have you got????

It seems everyone and their dog are now on the case. Now all we need to do is hope the Thais are listening and paying attention.
When did they ever take notice, listen or pay attention, when they consider it outside interference?

my education was:
(1) if you cannot pay it you cannot afford it.
(2) borrow money only from decent banks and only for real estate
(cap on mortgage at that time 3 Annual salaries maximum, and 25 % down)You forgot, 'If you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it.

There is a saying that 'you can only spend so much', but it is equally true that 'you can only spend so little'. If an in work graduate can't afford to service a basic lifestyle then something is wrong wit the economy imo. Actually we are seeing in work poverty in many countries these days with qualified professionals basically unable to live mostly due to crippling expenses.
As for saving, you can only do that if there is any money left at the end of the month!
Thailand is not alone; it is a worldwide problem. There is always too much month left when the money runs out

You talk as if it's the worst country in the world lol I don't understand this constant flaming of Thailand or anything it does. I think this scanner is a good thing so stop bad mouthing it. It helps keep the doggy people out and that is a good thing. But you people constantly ridicule and make fun of Thailand, sure it's funny to start with but please change the the record everything you say is a so negative. I would judge from some of the ridiculous comments posted, people making the posts don't even live in Thailand, you just use this site to sound off your bigoted ignorant views that are so toxic. YOU ARE NOT FUNNY GET A LIFE
Calm down, calm down, life's too short. The way you're sounding off it's likely to be even shorter.

Just spotted, does the word 'IMPOSTERS', in the top left of the photo refer to the three guys in the photo?

Instead of all this flaffing about with TM47, TM30, TM7, why can't they allow indefinite leave to reamin, if you have been a permanent resident for say, 5 years? Think of the manpower and paperwork that would save. Plus all the wages for lord knows how many IO's, scamming money for just about any excuse they can think of.
Someone poke me in the ribs to wake me up????
Mandatory health insurance for Non O-A visa effective from 31 October
in Thailand News - Discussion
It possibly will happen. Its no if but when. Those of a certain age will be very unlikely to qualify for cover from an insurance company. So the question then will be, who will provide the cover? If not the insurance companies, will the government? Or will those unable to acquire cover be deported? I feel sure there are those who will be unable to afford the premiums and are trusting their family will help. Not such a good idea. The government should give very, very serious consideration to enforcing health insurance on long term expats.
