Hundreds of Indians just wanted to stay in Thailand - and bent officials connived to let them

Arranged marriages , nothing wrong with that in India.

Now, No Indian nationals can marry in Thailand to Thais or any nationality.

 

That is far is it not? 

Great news for destination weddings for sure.

Very nice of you to defend a stereotyping and bashing of Indians.

 

However the real culprits were the Indian customers, the "middle men" firm and the corrupt officials. All should be prosecuted. They should also have to pay compensation to the ladies whose names they misused.

 

These Indians are criminals who knowingly conspired with others to commit fraud. Not exactly innocent now are they?

Only they do normally involve the bride and her family in the arrangements, not keep it all a secret from them! ?

Good, I hope they're banned from re-entering Thailand for life. That said, what about the corrupt Thai police officers? What action will be taken against them?

So that's why aggro this year doing marriage extension I'm English and with my tan maybe they think I could be Indian-British. ?

I have a tan too, but I shower daily and use deodorant, so I'm never mistaken for an Indian.

That is true. But, because of these scammers. the result is the vast majority of western Farangs married to Thais are put through horrible intrusive paperwork and inspections while 99 percent of their relationships are legit. No normal Thai woman marries a black, Arab or Indian. Unless for money.
