But in Samui and in Phuket people told me there was no curfew

what police are these ? military? PINK HANDCUFFS

He made a mistake in the morning when leaving home, he took accidentally the handcuffs toy of his wife...that the couple use for naughty games lol...

Hmmmmmmm. He looks about as French as French dressing.

He looks to me very much like a Frenchman, with his head covered.

you should look at the other pictures in the newspaper if u click on the link...c'est édifiant !

Hmmmmmmm. He looks about as French as French dressing.

And exactly what does a French citizen, aka a Frenchman, look like?

Welcome to the 21st century by the way.

Not quite sure what a French citizen looks like.

But by the sound of this guy's name, he might not be welcome any more in the home country of the French people who have a name with a French resonance.

Here is what a typical French look like hahaha ;-)

Wow, the guy is really showing his colors, ain't he? A dictator of his ilk won't stand much longer for a free flow of information and public expression of opinion on the internet. But I guess that would come after the shuttering of the judicial branch of gov't.? I'm afraid our days are numbered.

don't worry too much...The General is known to be one of The Former Minister Taksin's opponent. He was the one who ousted him before. He doesn't like any of the Shinawatra family so he is now kicking the asses of all the allies of the Shinawatras.

By the way, I've been robbed in Pattaya already in 2004 or 2005 by a ladyboys gang with 1 hidden Under the bed in a dark room, then 2x lately by a thai girl in Dec 2013 when I was sleeping (and drunk) ...but it's no excuse to go into my Pocket, steal my iPhone or go into my wallet and take my money....

lucky you werent raped

a guy in Chiang Mai, "claimed" he was attacked after answering the door,

I didnt believe him,

were you awake for any of these?

Awake ? in 2004(or 2005) yes ! I just stayed maybe 5-10 min talking in the room, but left my things with wallet unattended on the floor for a few minutes (somebdy was under the bed and I thought to be alone with a LB) although I finally decided not to do anything with a LB ! and left quickly but in 2013 I was asleep...

"Cantonal police officials say asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and other nationals travelling to Switzerland from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Romania, Georgia, ex-Yugoslavia and eastern Europe are behind much of the recent increase in burglaries and thefts (see freeform below) that affected especially French-speaking regions and the cities of Zurich, Basel and Bern.

Last year 1,150 people from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Libya, mostly young, male asylum-seekers staying at centres in cantons Zurich, Aargau and St Gallen, were charged with offences by the Zurich cantonal police. Between 2009-2012 the total number of investigated cases involving North Africans tripled."

Same in other EU countries...., sadly...(Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Germany...)

Impeach her? She's gone already.

She is gone, but still needs to be punished. I'm guessing she will get a fine of around 600 billion(or however much it is found that her clan have stolen from the Thai people) and with any luck a lengthy prison sentence to deter any future politician from emptying the state's coffers to enrich their family in such an arrogant and blatant manner. Fair is fair.

.....if she is still around at that time. The Shinawatra have a tendency to fly abroad when they have to face the music!

Like criminals do....

I hope she will have to pay back a lot...

Anyway, it will only be a drop in an ocean of millions or billions baht acquired dishonestly by corruption....

Exactly...he even looks like Putin ! ;-)

The OP wanting a free visa .... must be one of the high end tourist YS is trying to attract

Sorry, what means "OP" and "YS" ?

Oh..YS for Yingluck Shinawatra maybe..? :-) but OP ? Operator?

No!

When tourist numbers go down, prices and fees go up.

Simple....

But on the other hand, the only way to attract more tourists is to lower prices and fees...otherwise, this is a vicious circle...

You're thinking like a westerner.

The same western travel industry expert thinking that contemplates charging for everything from checking/carry-on baggage to possibly being allowed to pee while in flight?? That would be the same western economic and financial expertise that engineered the recent collapse of the world economy, high unemployment and massive printing of fiat currencies to save the banking industry, would it?

"You're thinking like a westerner."

How insulting.

Yes indeed...very insulting !

NOT insurance!!! Just a fee you'll pay. You'll get no medical "coverage" for it. This description of it as "insurance" has now been so widely & often repeated, it's going to come as quite a shock when foreigners who've paid it start walking into hospitals expecting free care...

Theoretically, these funds will go to reimburse hospitals that have had to treat deadbeat foreigners out-of-pocket.

This id totally UNFAIR and a kind of robbery towards the majority of westeners who have already a travel assistance (insurance).

For my part, I pay all year a worldwide assistance that covers not only my car in my country or everywhere in Europe, but also a full medical assistance and coverage,worldwide for me and my family: hospital, operations, medicines paid plus eventually return to home....

Many travellers, I think a majority also buy a coverage with their plane ticket for the whole duration of their holidays.

So, adding 500 baht for EVERYBODY would be highly unfair, just to cover yhe few people that ate homeless or overstaying or backpackers without assistance AND that need medical cares AND that are unable to pay for it: that reduce a lot the number of people who EFFECTIVELY would be in this case.

Why not make it mandatory to show a valid medical coverage or asistance at entry in the kingdom and IF NOT PRESENT or expired, let them pay the 500 baht fee ? This would be much better and fair for everyone.

Many nationalities can enter on a Visa waiver stamp for free for 30 days.

...yes, for now but for how long more ? Thay plan to add a 500 Thb fee to cover unexpected medical insurances but this is not clear...

Also, I was talking about a 60 days tourist visa....

No!

When tourist numbers go down, prices and fees go up.

Simple....

But on the other hand, the only way to attract more tourists is to lower prices and fees...otherwise, this is a vicious circle...

Due to all the protests,and all the recurrent problems and charges that thais want to add for tourists like the very controversed 500 baht (!!) fee at entrance into the kingdom for medical "insurance" (what if most travellers already pay their own travel assistance ???); I would advise and expect that TAT and immigration drop for a certain period the price to apply for a tourist VISA. like it has already been the case in the past to boost tourism and long term tourism.

So can we expect free VISA soon again ?

Who cares, all they need is China, India & Russia.

Yup, and Chinese tourists down by 51% and the Russians threatening a boycot through their 5000 travel agencies.

Quick quick: make VISA available for free again !!! I need one in 15 days ...;-)

Notice! he only talks about loosing money, Greed and corruption. The only creed these people think about.

I will also talk abt money: so, I hope they will very soon provide free visa instead of 30€/entry...it would boost the tourism...and I need a visa for begin December...!!

200 baht fine for Thais, and 5000 baht for falangs. Win win for all!

simply disgusting ! even dual prices in the fines !

a bargain. cheaper than sex.

Sex is and should emain free, a mutual pleasure...unfortunately in Thailand and more in Pattaya it has become a prostitution hub, also with many freelancers that can be met in discotheques and clubs...

My sport in Pattaya and everywhere in the world has always been to hunt and to seduce, not to pay for sex, it's too easy then, and I would be broke by now !

Real "Frenchmen" : a black and an arab most probably from Algeria....!...poor France...same in Belgium anyway...
