I have never seen such a waste of police resources, get immigration officers to do it. Also one can't help but feel it has truly become a police/military state with all these uniforms doing house to house checks.

   If they only rent a few rooms--I forget the number--small guesthouses and shophouses with a few rooms on the upper floors, for example, are exempt from having a hotel license.  It's in the Hotel Act.

Less than 5 rooms and less than 20 people

Couple of points. Immigration Officers are all part of the RTP.

Secondly the amount of dross infesting Thailand due to lax or corrupt law enforcement impacts many of us who live here  lawfully. If people don't like the crackdown then they must be dubious characters themselves and should simply move on to elsewhere.. But that is only IMHO and I am sure there will be many shady characters who are determined to duck and dive from societies conventionally acceptable rules at the expense of others.

Seems to me it was a few days wonder that soon got forgot about, ...until the next time the BiB are strapped for cash.

Something is wrong in this picture ? Where is the Pol Maj General Deputy Chief of the Tourist Police ?

 

Why not make a crackdown on the taxi cheats refusing the meter, the bag snatchers, the farangs who fight on the streets, the agressive lady boys or the drug peddlars and perhaps those pumping sewage into the sea ? ?  ?

..... and many many more, guess they like the easy way

They have to start somewhere and meaby they will make your dreams come true about your biggest fear/hate the taxi meter 555

 They have to start somewhere  but they do not have to finish there.

 

Will you be chasing them to go after the rest?

 

No, didn't think so.

It’s not illegal for Farangue to let out their condos?

Technically is it not still a military state?

and never had a Paris taxi driver refuse to turn On the meter so, sorry to ask, but where is the ressemblance with Paris ?

For 20 euro more vs. 3 additional dollar (100 baht).
