Dont have to go far  just walk out of Phuket HQ and off you go 

What do you expect letting all the Trust fund / seedy Ruskys in due to running from Puton. 

Set up shop on new ground 

And just give them more incentive by giving them 90 day visa on arrival. 

They just dont get it  the   Thai government its always a quick fix that always bites them in the arse then when its to late the try to fix it. 

 

Phuket is going to  be a melting pot and be a big issue  i was going to move there not now ruined  by a few cultures that like to take over anywhere the go  and the thai government let it happen. 

When the war is over and all the trust fund babies can go home Phuket will be a ghetto and the ones that do stay you dont want anyway 

judging by some of today's xenophobiac posts, Aseannow is going downhill fast.

"...foreigners who are not respectful of our laws must be deported especially if they are being aggressive and are a threat to the country."

 

Oh, how much I would love to hear those words from a official of my home country.

Or any western country...

To help avoid future problems try checking the home country criminal record before you allow entry to the Kingdom of convicted foreign crims in the first place. 

Fair point, but some of the Indians in this case were on Elite visas and I thought a condition of getting one is a police check in the home country? So doesn't always work?

Not sure what they require now but I was a member of Thailand Elite for 5 years. I was not required to provide a police record during the application process

 

To get the O/A visa in USA I have to provide an FBI criminal record check at own expense. Dont forget the ludicrous and redundant health insurance that proves nothing.

 

What does it matter if any foreign crim can come to Thailand as a tourist bank 400k and marry some ”lady” then stay indefinitely? Or at least until the ineveitable occurs when they re-offend IF they even get nabbed here for their dirty deeds.

Phuket.... JUST SAY NO!

[Purdey]

There is a footnote in the Foreign Business Act that clearly states crime is reserved for Thais.

The whole place is mafia ridden, both local and foreign; it's a real shame cos it used to be an OK place, at some point it just turned bad.

[Irish star]

Well what you expect 6 month free visas ffs

Mia noi wants LV bag.

[zhounan]

The reality behind the words: Mafia invests a lot of money in Thailand.

[crazykopite]

Considering this is the second time I’ve seen you quote the wrong post in a few days, I’m thinking that it’s you who has ‘trouble’. I don’t expect that you could do better. You are clearly already doing your best.

Give them 2 year visas being the select group. Then immigration can forget about them for 2 years. 🤣

Itthiphon added that all foreign criminals would be removed from Phuket and Thailand.

 

Ah yes, a promise that previous immigration chiefs have made - and failed to deliver on.

 

I vividly remember the "bad guys out, good guys in" campaign. Lots of rhetoric, a few arrests here and there, but most of those netted were low-hanging fruit such as overstayers. So they desperately needed those "smart cars", and again, pretty much no tangible results.

[twizzian]

I think the word Mafia is used all too often here as in this case “just Thugs” 

[paul1804]

The outcome of a very inefficient & corrupt immigration system/police force and the quest to attract "Quality" tourists from nations with many undesirables and you get what Thailand is now experiencing. 

[paul1804]

Too much competition for the local Mafia I guess so get rid of the foreigners and the locals get the lions share.

A prominent Royal Thai Immigration commander has ordered a crackdown on ‘foreign mafia’ in Phuket after six foreigners, including Indian and Russian nationals, attacked Immigration officers.

Now that's cheeky.  Enjoy IDC, black-listing, and deportation.

I’m sure the domestic mafia (a.k.a. the RTP) will be very grateful and will no doubt reward this royal Thai immigration commander in some kind of way.

Congratulations to the Thai Police for the crime suppression measure.In addition, all foreigners who are aggressive against law enforcement agencies should be banned from entering the Kingdom for 5 years. I am from Greece and every day we see criminal gangs attacking the police and judicial authorities forbidding the police to use weapons.
In Britain, police officers surrender their weapons because the judiciary forbids them to use weapons.
