I can see that.  Another negative post about being sold a bill of goods that Thailand was a cheap retirement place when it was not.  So who told you it was cheap?  BJ?

Cheap? How cheap do you want it?

It is cheap alright, by the way we see how the whingers are keeping put here as they have no other better place this cheap. That's hard the truth.

Sister in law is in the government.  I listen when they talk on the phone.  My Thai is better listened to than spoken hence they talk like I'm not there.  Although all my wives did pretty much the same thing, not thinking I understood French or Spanish either.  Knowing your posting proclivities I can understand how it would be difficult for you to imagine any Farang knows anything positive about Thailand, I can see that. 

Been in the Government itself does not help. The high profile secrets never trickle down to the ground level. Down below, it is mostly rumours.

Nobody has speculated as such, but I wonder if the transfer is simply a Thai way of dealing with massive changes at immigration that affect the Thai immigration people. Perhaps, an enemy / change agent had to be made, and, knowing Thais, once someone has instigated decisions that make it more difficult for Thais, you then cannot be left to be around them as the FACE loss issue because too much for Thais to bear.

 

In other words, perhaps this is simply a planned stunt to make him the bad guy who changed all the rules. The new guy will show up and say "we must continue with the new rules/plans because the bad guy started them". Thai way to avoid conflict.

 

I disagree with some of my good posters that it likely has anything to do with hurting western tourism or expats. Thais UNIFORMLY dislike westerners and nobody really cares about western expats in Thailand.

They may care if they are threatened with reciprocity.
