This is total nonsense. Just about everything has improved since Duterte took power, unless you're a corrupt cop or drug dealer. Poor people get more aid, hospitals are forced to treat people they used to turn away to die. Less young people are using drugs. Public offices are working better to serve people. The economy is growing too. He is not power hungry at all - he loves his people and he is very popular. He is not after money or power.

Do you really want to tell us that it is ok if a president of a country is murdering people for a good cause?

Even if his victims are drug dealers (all of them? who knows...), they should get a fair trial at court. 

By the way...

The President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is commanding killer groups and he treats the law with his feet. He is not far of being a dictator.

Think twice before moving to such a country.

Tell that to those who are being arrested for being late on their 90-day reports or not having up-to-date TM30 residence forms.

 

You can be arrested for overstay but not for being late on 90-day reports or TM30. You can be fined for that. Of cause if you are overstaying you will also not make a 90-day report or TM30 ????

You believe that BS?  do you speak to any Thais?  (doubtful I know). You are WAY off-topic.

Yes, I believe these figures. Just take a look to the highway between Pattaya and Bangkok. Compare the companies at the right and left side now with 2 or 5 years ago. Its growing fast. Take a look at Suvarnabhumi Airport now and 5 years ago and look what they are planing for the next 10 years. Then compare Thailand with their neighbors. Thailand is developing very fast. Of cause not everybody is a winner in this process. Some businesses are declining (beer bars) and other are growing. So if you ask some people on the street it is not sure that you will get a representative answer. Look how many cars are driving now at the streets and how many were 10 years ago. I know that many of them are bought by bank loan but anyway the people can afford them.

Thailand is changing. The old 'sanuk-culture' is slowly disappearing. Some of the old 'beer-bar-farang' will not like that and some of the uneducated Thai also don't like it because they have to start thinking and working.

'Booming'?  hahaha   what planet are you living on?  do you talk to any Thais?  I'm afraid your understanding of Thais, Thailand and the 'government' is virtually zero.

GDP growth: 3.0% (2015), 3.3% (2016), 3.9% (2017e), 4.1% (2018f)

Is this stagnating?

My understanding about people like you is zero!

Lots of answers to the above questions, but I'll just offer two:

 

1. They're arresting and jailing foreigners for failing to do their 90 day reports these days....

 

They are fining foreigners for not do their 90 day reports and this is ok because they don't obey the rules. They are not jailing them for that.

What is your intention? Why are you publishing fake news here. Why do you irritate others here?

For me it seems too be not save enough. Armed securities in front of each shop with valuables. Many people have guns.

I don't like their food.

The only thing for tourism you can do is beach life or exploring the nature.

The Catholic Church has a very strong influence.

I don't want ever have a Thai landlord....????

Thanks for the warning. The only time I carry my passport is when I'm going to the immigration office, visiting my embassy or travelling. The rest of the time it is locked up in my safe.

Me too...but I always carry my Thai DL and a copy of my passport and visa pages on my mobile phone.

Don't worry too much. If you behave like a normal person this should be enough.

The we must be lucky. Not only my local PO but the main offices in Khon Kaen and Chumphae, also the branch offices in Nong Rua, Ban Fang, Central Plaza, Tesco Lotus and the airport (KKC) - all of which I use. NO PASSPORT for letters. PASSPORT for packages and parcels.

I sent a letter from Thailand to Germany. I must show my ID-card. (DL) ---a normal letter ----

It is already worse than in China. Big brother is watching you....everywhere. All these security measures don't make any sense. If somebody want to make a crime he will do anyway. And wait..it will become worse. They will control us everywhere. Cameras and face recognition and our phones (location + message history).

Siberia has become a popular destination for Chinese tourists

This is the Kremlin. (not Siberia)

I don't like that it is not possible for foreigners to rent a car (self driving) in Vietnam.

I've had the same experience. First I reduced my drinking. The symptoms then got better but not disappeared. Then made in Europe all necessary tests for my liver and other organs, but everything was looking good. Then I stopped drinking 100% and finally now I feel healthy again. But it took another 3-6 month to recover. 

Stop drinking! If a doctor can prove that your liver is damaged it will be already too late. You will feel much better without drinking.

63 yrs young fool who has little clue of what he went into.

As long as Farungs act the way the old German fool did, so long will some of these things occur? 

What they do with 63, we did when we were in our 20's, acting foolish.

That is tolerance, but only up to a certain level.

Once overstepped it becomes a risk.

Offensive behavior will draw wrath.

Unless it is the act of a lunatic, Thais don't stab for no reason. 

What do you mean? What was wrong with that farang?

Why not upgrade entire Thailand as a national park? Every farang has to pay 400 Baht to get in... (Rip off everywhere)

How dare you generalize like that?!?  there are women with nice cars, homes, good jobs who make more than you or me. Genuine folks who want love, not a walking wallet.

 

It is just my personal experience. Of cause everybody can win a lottery but how is the chance?

If these women have homes and cars they have it from farangs, ? 

Why such a woman is looking for an older farang? Tell me the reason please...I know only one reason.

hope it's not dual priced to see it.

It is  ? since the Chinese hordes are flocking in there ...

 

At the airport normally they don't check the 90 day reporting. When you come back to Thailand and visit the immigration again you fill out the form with the last entry to the kingdom. If this is not longer than 90 day's the officer will not look further. You just must remove the piece of paper from your passport where the last 90 day report is stamped.

Nonsense post you made why?

Many good honest Thai ladies on dating sites, i know i met and married one, no better wife can any man find anywhere.

On Thaifriendly? Really? Hard to believe....

Some people find their real love in a Pattaya beer bar.

To put it bluntly, this is why I would not waste my time joining dating sites looking for women young enough to be my daughter believing Im going to find a true love on there. The pay as you go option is much more practical for me and other guys of similar age groups. 

Thaifriendly is not a place to find real love. There are only hookers and scammers. (and fakes :))

Many of these 'ladies' are fake profiles. The provider of this website wants to make men to pay for the service, but they will chat with fake girls. They don't exist. Of cause some are real, but you never know.

Maybe the OP of this post is also engaged by the provider of the website to promote the site here for free.
