A passport is considered one of if not the highest level of identification, biometrics excluded. It has many uses that would be beneficial to professional scam artists other then international travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Africans are an easy, highly visible target. I refuse to accept the narrative that Africans are the ones most linked to crime in Thailand. They are just easier to target. They have less money, mostly without consular representation, cannot afford lawyers, and honestly, nobody likes them so they can be targeted without cost. Their prison population must be examined against this unfortunate background. I do not condone crime by any race but reading the news, I cannot help but suspect that these raids may have more to do with race than eradication of crime. But again, I may be wrong. They have a world wide history of being scammers, I have noticed over the last 10 years a huge increase in these people and most reeled in are up to no good ,including the colour blind BIB in Sukhomvit who ignore the lines of negroid working girls lined along the streets. In most of these African countries gangs police the streets everywhere and charge tolls in their patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course they stick out -- as I stick out in Lagos and I stick out in SEA. However, more relevant is their cultural habit, which is a rich mix of desperation, faith, entitlement and experience of living in a totally corrupted society (without any reliable signs of governance). They love to bend rules, taking short cuts and hustle their way through -- very similar to the Thais by the way. Nevertheless I am proud to call some of them my very best friends. Be proud of your criminal friends. And? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been following Thai News for years and have not heard of large numbers, 20 or more, people of Caucasian origin being rounded up and charged in one night. Are you suggesting that two Africans just slipping across the Border with fake Passports should be overlooked? Wouldn't it be better said that "the Thai Government has a right to Police it's Borders and Nation without criticism from the sidelines"? We are all guests here and must comply with their laws and requirements no matter how unusual they may appear to you. Colour and Race has nothing to do with it when it comes to who is breaking the law. Doing the right thing means that you won't be arrested and charged, black, white or brindle, it makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering whenever anyone suggests anything towards blacks being depicted out of the Farang population then Generalists pull the race card. Its not exactly rocket science to figure out they're most likely up to no good from time to time. Hence, them being turned over. Can never work out either why they bring in drugs from their own countries with a huge chance of being caught when Asia is awash with illegal narcotics whilst using dodgy ID's. Probably, went like this: I handed my passport to the immigration officer, and he looked at it and looked at me and said, 'What are you?' Each to their own I suppose ...........................
