    Do you think that people who promote Thailand on the web should be given a free visa for life and be allowed to stay as long as they want ?

    If their actions are working and bringing in thousands monthly into thailand? Yes I do

    The mooch was illegally working and probably not for free (get serious people) while laughing at immigration for 3 long years. This is simply criminal behavior. Crackdowns for the rest of us results.

     

    Funny how some people assume this outlaw's "work" was to encourage law-abiding legal tourism.

    He just as easily could be running a website on how to beat the Thai visa system illegally.

     

    10 year ban, fine, and some street cleaning time sounds about right. Good riddance.
