Why do people think that he is not corrupt and all the other people in those positions are TIT

How do you think he got not only reinstated, but promoted in to the bargain?

Lets hope not, because he will be coming for the rest of us once he's done with the real criminals.

 

Dealing with the real criminal will probably take several lifetimes especially if he concentrates on the police, as he is surrounded by them on all sides, as well as above and below.

Check everyone who use an agent , and then for every 10 that doesn’t actually qualify but an immigration officer granted visa , sack said immigration officer and disqualify the agent from working as a visa agent 

Sounds like Law and Order...........

Does anyone remember ever reading a report on this site that the authorities are cracking down on Thai criminal gangs? No, I thought not.

Can't ever see a day,  when they start to arrest themselves.

Its called history. One of the reasons we left Thailand was waking up to 6 police vehicles full of police: 3 on my drive and 3 infront of my house. All to check if I was living in my house (living there for 8 years) and not working..... Oh and they had the audacity to want a group photo with me. Felt like an arch criminal... wait I left my army uniform in the uk many years ago....

They been to where my wife's house is twice.

 

The first time was with an army patrol as somebody had told them we had a rifle. Not strictly correct, though there was a broken BB rifle belonging to the guy who worked for our neighbour. After it was explained to them they asked politely if we minded if they could look around. No problem, and they even took off their shoes to go into the house.

 

As they left they apologised and explained that they had to follow up on the report.

 

The second time was 3 years ago when the Immigration police came to check if i actually lived here. 3 of them came in a pickup, talked to my wife and a couple of neighbours (and me). They took some photos and went away quite happily and have not returned since. We offered them cold drinks an food if they were hungry. They accepted the cold drinks but not the food.

 

There was no mention of tea money or petrol money.

 

That is all the visits we have had from the police in over 18 years.

Surely all extensions by the officers who worked on those criminals will be scrutinized, then probably many others checked with demands to see all conditions were fulfilled, before some draconian measures are added to conditions. Wonder how it'll go down for those who don't meet requirements and are using agents to arrange stuff upcountry...

Did you know they do a special visa for the self righteous? 

 

You could save yourself 800K!

[spidermike007]

Am I the only one who is totally suspicious of this man's sincerity? I don't buy his game for a minute. It appears to be all about publicity seeking and hunger for the limelight. 

 

The real question is, why was he brought back from exile? Has he done anything worthwhile? In a land where little is done to fight corruption, it seems some are convinced he is the savior. The one and only? Really?

I don't need to save money. I do every thing legally. And I can sleep at night.

I think he is a xenophobic stooge, for the administration. Not sincere about much, other than his dislike for foreigners and expats. But, he is likely a dangerous man to our community. 

[Cranky]

Thailand annexation to China almost complete. Just waiting for the 50 million or so to turn up when they are released. Good luck sorting out the good ones from the wrong uns.  Seriously doubt quality westerners will be there in any meaningful numbers. 

 

Eastern seaboard is a a dump site.

A bit like the rigmarole required for a Marriage Visa (Sorry - Extension of Stay based on marriage to a Thai  National - just before somebody points it out!) 

 

The  photos taken with Thai Immigration Officers at our house  required to prove that I/we are living in the same house that we took photos of and gave to Immigration when submitting our application for an extension for the 3rd time- accompanied of course by a Khor Ror 2 (?) to prove that we were still in the same marital status that we were in last year - and the 2 years years prior to this one! 

 

As a previous poster put it, Thailand seems to be the only place where you have to report to Immigration that nothing has changed since last year, whereas other countries you have to report when things HAVE changed!!!

 

And 90 day reporting is another similar farce!

only if you use an agent because you can't actually meet the requirements to stay long term.

Or maybe you get too stressed out by the nonsensical requirements/requests of Immigration that seem to change every time you need an extension?

 

I heard of a guy that had to go to Immigration EIGHT times before they gave him an "Under Consideration" Stamp! (Each time involving a lengthy wait to see the I.O. dealing with his case, and a lengthy trip to get there from his house!)

There was clear evidence that both Udon Thani and Phrae immigration had been defective in failing to check the criminals' claims they were students.

 

They were not studying of course.

 

If it can be shown that immigration officers in those places acted incorrectly he promised decisive action against them

Bent immigration officers... perish the thought

wash your mouth out with soap and write an apology immediately...
