Udon Thani will be a ghost town soon as foreigners flee the girly bars and make a midnight run to Cambodia.

The run to Cambodia has been happening for a while.  I'm a remainer, though I know a few that just have had enough of jumping through hoops and wondered "for what?".

Foreigners can be such bad people. They are responsible for so many crimes. The nation has such virtue, the people here possess such a level of purity, honesty, compassion, charity, benevolence, righteousness, and high minded thinking, that they should not, and cannot be exposed to these toxic foreigners. 

I was looking for the "Like" button, then realised there's more to life than just facebook Lol.  I should get out more.

"and four Vietnamese women who were working in a Thai massage shop."   Wouldn't that then make it a Vietnamese massage shop ?

Quite a number that is, 2,274. Would he ever address some of the reasons why/how they are here to his superiors? That may lead to the root of their ability to stay here..Nope he wont, at least that's my guess.

 

But 2,274 sure does look good doesn't it.

Good job done be Imm. How they get in is anybody's guess. That is why fingerprinting  has now been introduced . Good.

It appears we are witnessing Thailand unravel its own economy; Vietnam and other places are gaining rapid popularity.  Thailand's economy, now at a 5 year low, will continue to dwindle as they manipulate and destroy what was once a great retirement haven. la khon!

I think I know one of these Vietnamese girls. Well know of her, rather.  If I'm right there is always a queue of farang after her services. She has perfected the flying wedge position. Not massively expensive either. Get a massage too; of sorts.

With the fingerprinting in place they will be apprehended even if they have a. different passport or fake one.

You might ask the same question about the 'up to a million Uighurs' in China.

 

Random number generator? ????

Many reporters have tried.  They're typically not let near the place and if they are they're shadowed by the police.  Nice try comrade but no +1 point social credit score for you today! ????

[moonseeker]

People reading the daily headlines about crackdowns on foreigners must feel really welcome in this country. Never heard of anything similar... Not much however anymore to read about HUB of this and that lately...

I sure hope so 

There has been far to much dishonesty by foreigners over the years and them and all their mates think they can get away with anything as long as if their fought can pay a dishonest Officrr a bribe and everything will be ok and go away even if they have killed one of the locals 

It's about time it was all stopped and people suffer the harshest punishments that can be given to them in Thailand not deported back to their own countries so they can come back and do the same over and over again

If things are changed maybe the Thai women might find decent husbands instead of being used, abused and then killed by foreigners 

I use an agent for three reasons:

 

01 - Convenience

02 - I haven't got the dosh to do as the Thai authorities would like.

03 - protection.

 

My agent is well connected. If the BinB, the IO, or the army, arrived at my door, the first call would be to my agent.

Remember my number 1 rule....this is not my country. I live here but a citizen of another country. I must follow the rules. If I cannot then I can pray a lot because some of those people have 'real' lives here. Some should be able to pay fines, etc and stay. But got God's sake....learn and follow the rules/laws or find yourself going to your other home.

I understand they were refused at the border crossing while trying to enter.

The last guy was called big joke, they should call this guy, Even bigger Joke

[zhounan]

it will be curious to see a list of these foreigners. And then make a statistic based on nationality. Nigerians cannot put in the same level as a japanese for example...is too simple use "foreigner" word.

[mike787]

xenophobia is alive and stronger than ever since BJ left...Time to start packing.  IO are going to flush every foreigner OUT!!!!  

[Splash210]

This article was just a Cameroonian and Columbian smear campaign. They made sure to call out the 21 people who were not of Asian descent, while the other 2253 people that were arrested look like theyre Thai.

[JulesMad]

It would be interesting to see a breakdown by nationality; obviously there are many Laotians and Cambodians, working the jobs that Thai will not do
