Formaleins Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Hah hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......forgive me while I pick my head up and apply some stitches to my sides, I hear Raffles has booked his flight already. Unsurprising they only want quality tourists though as they can't even manage their home grown criminal fraternity! I think Thailand needs to attract more varied entertainment too, it is full of circus's and an overwhelming alley of clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some examples. Are you a member of a drugs cartel or any form of mafia or crime syndicate? Are you or have you ever been a drug abuser or addict? If not, do you plan to become one while you are here? Did you earn your money legally and pay taxes? Are you coming to the Thailand to engage with prostitution or unlawful commercialized vice? Does your wife know you are here? Do you seek to engage in espionage, sabotage, export control violations or any other illegal activity in Thailand? Are you involved in corruption? If so what is the level of your average bribery payment at the moment? Are you a member of a terrorist organization? Have you ever participated in genocide? Have you ever been directly involved in the coercive transplantation of human organs or bodily tissue? Have you ever committed torture (other than on a willing sexual partner)? Have you ever engaged in the recruitment or the use of child soldiers? Are you coming to the Thailand to practice polygamy? Are you a member of the Communist party? Are you a criminal seeking to hide from justice? Do you promise to tell the truth whenever we ask you a question? Are you Russian? Answer any incorrectly then you refuse entry.

John harrison Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Embassy staff in any particular EU country would not have access to Police data on Criminals. More correct to contact EU Commission with a view of cooperative help in relation to EU wide arrest warrants in place which to date 5665 are now issued.

spidermike007 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I think it is safe to say most tourists would appreciate it, if there was actual law enforcement here. Competency and pride in a job well done, are beautiful things. Indifference and corruption are not.

They are not coming to thailand to rob tourists. the more important question is what police is doing to stop thai criminals from all scams at tourist areas That may be worse now since the lockdown??

Sydebolle Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Rarely read something more stupid than this article. a) hunt your own criminals with 10% of the planned endeavors you put into "hunting" the dirty farang first b) does anyone else, except those gifted semi-divine superstars in all those government buildings and police stations believe, that criminals wait for "high" season - seriously? The bashing on alien and dirty Farang continues and I, for one, just hope, that coming high season is a total flop for all the other Thai-self-made reasons like cheating up and down the land, immigration jokes and visa maze, Baht kept artificially high, dual pricing while the level of service nosedives further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
