Tomorrow they will arrest someone that has been here 20 years. I guess they built a wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMacMan Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I am not saying that this is a bad thing.... BUT.. 1) you are repeatedly saying there are no more overstayers... and yet the next week you round up another few hundred? this makes no sense to me? 2) Why is this a good thing for tourism, if they are here, then they must be spending money, buying food, drink, transport, accommodation etc... sure, they have broken the law and that is wrong.... but why is catching overstayers a good thing for tourism??? Do you mean that as there are now NO MORE OVERSTAYERS that any and all Farang that you see on the streets and bars MUST be good quality tourists and won't be hassled!?

ukrules Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 5 hours ago, pmh2009 said: So does that mean the operation is finished, stopped, closed??? Every day new people will become on 'overstay' When they start arresting, locking up and deporting people who have 1 or 2 days of overstay, genuine tourists who forgot to go to immigration - that's when there will be a real problem. If any of these people have been on overstay for more than just a few weeks then it proves that they lied the last time there were 0 overstays.

Even she thought it was pretty disgusting how Immigration behaved. However Thailand lost and he wont be back, relocated co to Phillipines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonrawdcnx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I should imagine any tourists staying at the Bangkok Montien Riverside hotel would have been less than impressed with a paramilitary display outside their bedroom windows at 1 am!You are absolutely right - this is something they just don’t get here - nobody coming from a peaceful, civilized country wants to see these stupid display of uniforms especially not when on holiday.Living here for so many years one gets used to this - but every time we have visitors and traveling around Thailand I am asked if Thailand is such a dangerous country or in a constant state of war when we pass or are being stopped at road blocks manned by police, army with sandbag “machine gun” stations. And to be honest it looks like something straight out of a war movie- we just don’t notice it anymore. I am also not sure why this headline ?What has catching overstayers got to do with - tourism? As for the “outlaw” foreign workers - by 2030 Thailand will officially be a super aged society dependent on foreign workers. Wonder if Big Joke comes up with a cunning plan how to handle that situation - I am sure they will start to think about it - in 2031. These stupid display of uniforms are nothing but photo ops - once BJ starts to net the real foreign criminals in this country I will applaud him - but he somehow seems to miss them all the time?? Could this have anything to do with big fat brown envelopes? Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to wonder how he will explain any more he catches in the future, without admitting todays statement was pure rot. It's easy to become an over stayer tomorrow and the next (etc), so the numbers must be expected to rebuild ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
