Popular Post Jake72 Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 I'm fine with immigration getting tough on criminals, but I wish it wouldn't get harder and harder for the majority of foreigners trying their best to comply with all the rules/laws. In Europe you can get permanent residence after just 5 years of living there legally. I've been here for more than 20 years and still get treated like a potential criminal despite having paid more in tax than 10 average families and never broken any laws. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 1 hour ago, digger70 said: Thai immigration cracks down on misbehaving foreigners. I wonder what the number of offenders is per 100,000 Foreigners and 100,000 Thais. Thats an extremely 'wide metric'... because what exactly is 'misbehaving' ??..... not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle ? driving or riding while drunk ???? fighting etc ? Kicking people sat in the steps to your beach house ? If foreigners are 'misbehaving' depending on what they have done, its easy for Immigration just to 'get rid of them' (i.e. deport them) if criminal charges are filed. Conversely, its more difficult to deal with Thai's who have committed similar crimes as they cannot simply be deported, they have to go through the legal system which takes time, effort and money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said they must have passed entered via a controlled Thai immigration point? How they entered Thailand is anyone's guess as the borders are porous and, as a subsequent story suggested, people are smuggled in from Myanmar. It's a safe bet that these guys entered Thailand either illicitly and without travel documents, or they have 'swapped' whatever travel documents they had for some dodgy Canadian ones. Surely if the entered legally with valid passports their pics were taken and are integrated into the IB AI computers they use now. As soon as the passports were scanned to match that it would have shown up that they entered under a different passport. That being said, perhaps there really is not a good integration to do this as they claim or maybe it is only on that special expensive vehicle they always bragged about as their reason to catch foreigners. Or. These chinese entered illegally through some land crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabradelmar Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The Hub of Crackdowns... just as long as they don't have to get out of their chairs, or leave their air-con offices. Having 2 shady foreigners hand you forged passports, and you arresting them for forged passports... case in point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I have to admit that in the last 5 to 10 years , the amount of bad news about « tourists » has grown significantly, and the number of people you see on the streets, in bars and restaurants, that frankly shouldn’t be allowed to see in Thailand. I live in France which is the worlds number one tourist’s destination and you hardly hear of tourists behaving badly. Of course you have the usual foreign and thieves and unwelcome people, who generally live in France legally or illegally. Same I’m sure in Germany, Italy, Spain, etc , where the most culprits are drunks getting into fights. Thailand seems to be a magnet for the worst of the human race.

Is that not more to do with the pre-valance of social media than anything else ???? No we have apps such as TikTok which hit the masses within seconds... thus any news is spread very quickly and negative news spreads very quickly. The same number of 'wrong uns' are travelling and getting up to silly stuff - we just read more about it now. I recall doing silly stuff, I'm glad social media wasn't around then - We used to pay TukTuk Drivers so we could drive their TukTuks around the back-streets... 6 minutes ago, geisha said: I live in France which is the worlds number one tourist’s destination and you hardly hear of tourists behaving badly. But you are not on FrenchVisa.com website of Schegnennow.com etc.... i.e. you are not on forum which specifically deals with tourists. If you didn't read these fora and relied solely on the mainstream media, there would hardly be any news of Tourist's causing problems. 6 minutes ago, geisha said: Of course you have the usual foreign and thieves and unwelcome people, who generally live in France legally or illegally.

Given the apathy of the policing here, it certainly does seem that Thailand is a place where criminals can escape their convictions in their homelands and hide in plain sight in Thailand, but that would be true of any developing nation with a lazy police force. There are area's of Thailand which seem to be a magnet for the 'worst of the human race' but then I'm sure the same can be said of some area's of London, some area's of Spain, Some area's of Mexico or Indonesia etc...

observer90210 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Only a fool would post controversy on social media, when still in Thailand. Furthermore, they should crack down and expel that german teenage gang making a nuisance in their house developpment ? That should be a good place to start.

moe666 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 10 hours ago, ikke1959 said: Maybe a 21st century computer system connected with all immigration checkpoints and offices could be a start. How is it possible to enter with a false passport? They take their time to check at arrivals as we see the queues so where did it go wrong? And all the other offenders.....Thais are not better than these foreigners Alot of people think Thailand is running on the paper and pencil of 20 years ago. I loved the story about the female brit who had been black balled from Thailand for a drug issue. She waited for I believe 5 years got a new passport different name and she went directly to the no entry waiting room waiting for her second deportation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalasin Jo Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 7 hours ago, khunjeff said: The name of the person making the announcement is Phantana, not Thanana (his name is even shown in the photo), and he's a Major General, not a Colonel. Itthipol is a Lieutenant General, not a Major General. And Big Joke Surachet is a full General, not a Lieutenant Colonel. This isn't hard. Generally speaking I'd say Thailand has far too many generals be they major, minor or full. It's not a good look for democracy for the people to be ruled over by so many with military ranks. But yeah I know, Thais just love a man or woman in military uniform, the more bars, medals, "scrambled egg" and sashes adorning that uniform the better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have evidence that there are UK immigration staff doing it and not just one of BA's former check-in staff? If not, then yes, you have fabricated it.
