" They asked the public to keep the calls coming to the immigration's hotline to report illegal activity. "

 

 

Why would not they stop themselves?

I do not know if it's true but I suspect that it is:
ask for 5,000 baht instead of the 1,900 officials for the extension of an annual visa, what is it? If not theft ...and illegal activity

The authorities boasting about bullying the poor and harmless on behalf of the unelected shameless. Thailand has sunk so low.

Alien has always referred to the idea of being a foreigner. In London the alien registration office is near Southampton Row.  There appears to be a generation of uneducated people whose knowledge comes from Star wars or Men in Black. Or are some people trying to be funny.

That's right, all you pesky foreigners are 24/7 under the spotlight. Must be terrible living in a country where at a moment's notice you could be arrested and thrown out. Don't lay roots in a country that doesn't want you. My advise is just rent per month, and be prepared to move out within 24hours notice.

I guess thats where the saying come from, If it Fly's Floats or <deleted> then rent it
