Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
That's about as shallow of an understanding as I can imagine one to maintain, not to mention impossible to defend with any intellectual honesty. I suppose that would mean that I believe your understanding is about as ignorant as can be. -

My name on the chanot
Having a Usufruct is probably the strongest protection for a non Thai. While you do not/can not own the land you can do things like renting out the land and that can last beyond your death. With an usufruct almost the only thing you cannot do is to sell the land. However it depends on the local head of the land department if you will be allowed to get an usufruct on the piece of land. A Chanote title, also known as a Nor.Sor.4.Jor (NS4J) is a land title it is not possible to have a land title for a house so that is not correct. -

Three-Vehicle Collision in Nong Bua Lamphu Leaves 8 Injured, 2 Critical
Three-Vehicle Collision in Nong Bua Lamphu Leaves 8 Injured, 2 Critical A three-vehicle collision at an unmarked intersection in Nong Bua Lamphu left eight people injured, including two in critical condition. The accident, captured on CCTV, showed vehicles arriving simultaneously at the "judgment crossing," a nickname for its lack of traffic signals. The impact was so severe that some occupants were ejected, with one requiring CPR before being hospitalized. Local authorities are investigating and considering safety measures to prevent similar incidents at the hazardous intersection. -

60-day visa exemptions are now unlimited at land borders
"Too much time in Thailand" or "Come too often," are not legal reasons for denial in Section 12 of the Immigration Act. An oil/gas worker would clearly not be "working illegally" or "not have means of support," so denying entry would be illegal on its face (they will do it anyway). The only workaround for O/G workers is pay immigration's agent to enter by air, or fly into a neighboring country and enter via a law-abiding land-border. Given "agent service" is provided at the Phuket office, they are part of the "network" of IOs operating that system, so it is not surprising they are backing their collaborators' play by mouthing non-existent rules. The fact this ONLY happens at entry-points where an extortion-racket is operating says it all. The shameless nature of making up fake-rules, then providing a "payoff" workaround, is shocking to foreigners from the West, where corruption is constrained to higher levels of govt-operations. At least bank-robbers don't pretend to be cops. Maybe we should call them "trans-police"? OTOH, by doing this so brazenly, it removes the "just doing their job" illusion entirely, such that even "green" / naive folks are more likely to see the nature of the system, ignore immigration-apologists, and be prepared to deal with the situation, accordingly - vs walking blind into a trap. Every time one sees a closed hotel or restaurant in a tourist-area, can thank this IO/Agent "system," for the likely reason why. Too bad Thais cannot get hired at the "moved" jobs, now operating in Cambodia, etc - where the lost-money is now being spent. The Chinese/Indian replacement-tourists don't usually tip, so even those who still have work in the tourist-sector have a 50%+ cut in net-pay, vs the Western repeat-visitors which immigration has targeted. -
