Aditi Sharma Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I am going to ask my government in India to take it up with the Kingdom of Thailand. Indians may be having a bad reputation in Thailand but we regard Thais to be divine. For one thing, visa policy changes will open up Thai economy and it would start growing faster than China and India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no, you do not have a RIGHT to do anything in a country you're not a citizen of. I do not envisage Thais campaigning for freeing tourist visa from charges and other restrictions. As a tourist, I think I have to take it upon myself in the right way to petition for reforms. Current visa policies as ubonjoe helpfully reminds have not been much amended since 1979 and if you think about it it has hampered travel and indirectly affected the economy in a negative way.

The likelihood of Thailand opening up its economy will occur when either pigs grow feathers or when the Thai elite throw up their hands and retire from making too much money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. WE NEED THE IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTRE to be rechristened to OVERSTAY CENTRE. All those on overstay should be made to do community service before deportation. Work without pay but food and shelter provided at the centre until such time as your earnings do not pay for your flight out of the country.

Visitors please leave your suggestions here. I am visiting Thailand in a month or so. I will give them a printed list of suggestions in person if somebody would kindly give me an address. Why not sort out things in your own country first. No shortage of things that could be changed there. Assuming that you have some greater understanding of what Thailand needs to do is nonsense. Or you could ask why so many Indian tailors continue in business in Thailand even though they never have customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not assuming that I have a greater understanding of what Thailand needs to do. Are you saying that your government - I am assuming that you are a Thai national -- is not capable of considering my suggestions? I think that would be nonsense. Can you please tell me where I can find these Indian tailors in Thailand who dont get any customers. Hope they are not doing anything illegal.

The Fat Controller Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This has got to be the funniest thread in a long time ! I am afraid you are totally delusional thinking you can change the immigration policy of Thailand or your home country. I hope you can put whatever you suggest in the Thai language, at least then they can have a bit of a laugh before they put it in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aditi Sharma Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 All Overstayers may be taken from the Overstay Centre ( formerly the Immigration Detention Centre) by bus to their place of work. They may be asked to do 12 hour shifts without pay. They may be informed about their earnings. When their earnings equal the cost of a ticket they may be deported. All Overstayers may be taken from their places of work to the Overstay Centre by bus. We need a humane way of treating the inmates of the present Immigration Detention Centre which is no less than Guantanamo Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please have some mercy if this does not come across well. I have been to Thailand many times but that is beside the point, right? My only ambition under this topic is to make a list of demand and wishes from visitors to Thailand, including mine own. Thanks for reading.

So instead of trying to get everyone in the same boat why not ask immigration as to why India is not included. Possibly because Indians tend to bring everyone they know once they are settled in a country. Westerners dont do that. This could be why there are more Western counties on the list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arandora Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Are you taking it upon yourself to contact every country in the world to provide a standard visa policy for each of them? If not, why not? Visa Policy is a vital part of Immigration control and a very necessary part these days of Security Control. Can you imagine any country in the world considering requests for changes in its policy by an outsider who may have a vested interest in changes in policy that may threaten both Immigration and Security policies? Get real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
