Ankle monitors are one way of tracking individuals who are under the supervision of the criminal justice system. These devices are worn around the ankle and track an individual's movements and location using GPS technology. Used to track the whereabouts of an offender. Not necessarily about proximity to a victim...

This law seems to be for the protection of all these men that Thai women no longer want...

What I heard from other sources is that this traveler thought that not having bullets made this gun harmless, thus acceptable. Of course, it was a mistake. But not as if he was of a given age, and originating from a given country... Obvious mistake, or obvious evil intent, no distinction whatsoever... Might be that the common sense of an average person should be sought in cases like this one...

The 'culture' in Thailand is to blame. This culture is taking its toll, time and time again, and no action is taken at any level to curb it...

Thanks, so refreshing to be provided with facts, as opposed to some sharing of unwanted opinions. Oh, and I had to google that 'init' word there, hehe. Regards

NOT at the Immigration Office that I deal with. Elsewhere, I do not know

Quite correct sir. My mistake was to give more credit to Immigration Officers than they deserve.... Regarding Agents, the one I use is the reason I was able to stay legally in Thailand during the pandemic. Actually, as I wrote a lot on this subject previously, it is an Immigration Officer who told me to go see an Agent, when I visited the Immigration office, to explain that I could not leave Thailand, the borders being closed, and that I could not stay legally in Thailand. I even asked, 'Is there someone here that I can pay to obtain a permission to stay'. An officer came out of the plexiglass enclosure, and softy said to me: "Go see an Agent, they can fix it up for you.." And so it was... The pandemic coincided with the high ranking level order to Immigration Officers to no longer take bribes. The use of Agents was created at high level of the Immigration hierarchy, to channel all the money at that level, to be further shared at their discretion, at lower rank levels. So anyone suggesting that using an Agent is illegal, meaning punishable, is talking out of ignorance... And thanks for your reply. (You surely do not have an easy job😑)

" extra fees to pay higher up Imm for an illegal transaction". May I suggest that you get educated on the subject please, before posting such ignorant comments on this site...

Are you thick or what?? Not what the Agent said, what the Immigration Officer said.

"If using income method then immigration will want to see 12 monthly transfers of 65k for retirement OR 40k for marriage." Problem being that this is not what the Immigration Officer replied, to my question about going home for 3 months. Get that through your head please. All these redundant replies....

Oh, your hindsight is so wonderful. I followed what the message from the Immigration officer mentioned. So please stop repeating these falsehoods. The Agent is just providing a link between Immigration and the clients. The question was asked to an Immigration Officer, and the Immigration Officer provided a reply. Reply that was wrong.

False. A and B above I have, certified. But the only paper immigration would accept, is an Embassy letter. Embassy letter that some countries do not provide, just to add to the complexity.

I was following the advice given by an 'Immigration officer', sir... Please read before commenting please....

Not worth explaining. The blame is already in the mind of people

And what if someone applies for an extension, thinking that 2 weeks would be enough, but then Immigration builds up obstacles that makes it impossible to go through a process within the time left?

I always do the same. Because road laws are applied unfairly. Getting a fine is simply an 'out of luck' situation. If the laws were written, applied consistently, and all would follow these laws, then an exception should be penalized, to indicate to all others that they are doing the 'right thing', such as wearing a helmet.

Ok, ok, ok, pizza's here in Thailand are bad. Even using ketchup as a sauce. Sweet as they can make them. I tried one once. Just thought to myself: 'Ok, 'lesson learned', and moved on...

Well, good luck with that....

I would think so. Everyone knows that they are all fake. Well, nearly all...

Stand up comic material... And actually good. It will make many smile....

There is no level of training of Pit Bulls, that will prevent them, in great numbers, to kill. It is in their genetics. As it is in the genetics of Golden Retrievers, and even poodles, of not be inclined to kill

And just make sure that you do not miss a month for the transfers. The 12 money transfers, of more than $65,000 bahts, must be consecutive, in a one year period.

This culture.... And I wonder how many times this monster of an aunt said the 'Kha' in any given day....

Some things I have stopped trying to understand. This is one of them...

Quite a strange question. Another strange question would be: 'Did everyone you met tried to kill you in Thailand', or some other stupid question. But back to the topic that I raised, Thailand perhaps not being so civilized after all. In a non-civilized country, there is no respect for anyone..... This was my comment, nothing about everyone being rude. And as it relates to "respect", in a civilized country, the Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one would want to be treated by them. So when you decide, for the first time, to drive on Thai roads, you will notice that it is the law of the jungle. Lucky to come back alive, but some are just not that lucky. People will speed, showing no respect for other people on the road. People driving so fast, cutting between vehicles, just to be ahead of one vehicle, with no respect for the safety of others on the roads. Small wonder that Thailand roads are the most dangerous country for driving on the roads. People will use the loudest vehicle possible, particularly motorbikes, showing absolutely no respect for others on the road, and no respect for others who might need to sleep during the day close to a main road. People will throw their garbage on the side of the road, while driving, showing no respect towards people living near roads. People will stop or park anywhere, as it suits THEM, showing no respect for other drivers having to stop, and try to go around a stopped vehicle, in the middle of a lane. People afraid of buying property, by fear of ending up near some people who live at night, and do not care about the noise, that others must endure. Or finding out that the neighbor has a dog that will bark nearly all night. And so on and so on. Just tired of repeating the same things for people who have no understanding of the culture here... And you are obviously one of them..
