Temple bell-ringing complaint leads to immigration probe

Police are checking whether immigration laws have been broken after complaints were made about a temple's pre-dawn bell ringing near a condominium at Wat Sai in Bangkok's Rama III area.

 

Pol Maj Gen Surachate Hakparn, acting Immigration Bureau chief, said on Friday that officers would check if the owner of the condominium unit, from where the noise complaint was made, had informed the Immigration Bureau about a foreigner now staying there. 

 

Officers would also check whether the foreign tenant had notified the Immigration Bureau of their correct address. If not, the foreign tenant could face a visa revocation and deportation, Surachate added.

 

The noise complaints prompted Bang Kho Laem district office to warn the temple. The temple's abbot then instructed monks to keep the volume down. The 1.2-metre-tall bell is rung at 4am every day during the Buddhist Lent period. 

 

The case also led to hot debates on social media, prompting Buddhism’s highest body and related authorities to visit the temple on Thursday to seek a solution. 

 

It was decided that a meeting would be held on October 10 for the condominium, the temple, the district office and nearby community residents, to resolve this issue.

Confucious might have said, "If you're going to rock the boat, first ensure that you haven't got a hole in your life jacket".

Well said-  it is obvious Immigration was notified  out of spite by someone who did not like the complainer.  Big Joke is sending a message.  This is not an immigration case but he is letting  foreigners know he can squeeze anyone when he wants.

Waiting for more xenophobic action from this highly praised super-cop.

Woman who claims to have been raped is prosecuted for false accusation, woman who complains about temple noise is bullied about wasted paperwork.

Many foreigner will soon pray that he will get an inactive post.

 

Prepare for even more harassment by immigration bureau.

If you are doing the right thing regarding being able to stay in Thailand without too much hassle, what harassment do you envisage?

Quite stupid, showing the rest of the world, just how bloody petty they are. Childlike in their response. 

 

The world doesn't give a rat's fart about Thailand. It is an insignificant Asian backwater which has no influence on the rest of the world in any way.
