So Thailand should be more rigid whom they issue a tourist visa to ?

 

On a one-way ticket... hell yes.

I do know one thing, he looks like he wont be eating any "Moo Palo" 🐷 any time soon...

 

Well, just going by the guys name, I wonder is there a more British

sounding name, or has that country really become foieign ized?

Juxt wondering?

Well on the topic of 'how does he stay' doesn't it come down to two basic options

 

He has no income, so...

 

1. Mommy & Daddy buy him an elite visa and fund him.

 

2. He applies for an Ed Visa, and Mommy & Daddy fund him while he earns poverty wages.

 

Maybe I'm missing something, but seems like a spoilt brat kid to me.

I am not familiar with author Bob Scott and it isn't stated where else this might have been published but what a master class of understatement with regard to the UK's rapid decline in civilized behaviour. Also the total naivety of Mr Ruparelia assumption he will be able to stay in Thailand having been a "receptionist" (can he do 120 wpm) earning a King's ransom of 500 baht an hour is astonishing, or did he win the UK lottery?

 

No wonder all the old cynics on here are Taking the Micky.

You are right, he does sound like one of the "refugees" who arrive by dinghy in England and are put up in four star hotels and given a phone, free meals and pocket money while they await "processing" by the Hopeless Home Office.

Go for it Riyan.

 

If it all goes pear-shaped you are still young enough to re-boot somewhere else, even back home.

 

But, how do you plan to support yourself and later your parents?

 

 

Methinks he must have won the lottery!  I wonder what he saved on 30,hrs a week.? No, it’s just a made up story for the press/ Facebook whatever. Not a true word.

 Yes, nobody with beards would be a good start 😃

For most Thais, Thailand is not so cheap to live.   

As a foreigner with dollars, pounds, etc, it's easy to forget this.

spending your leave between women's limbs

I could live with the downside if I could get that on a regular basis. Perhaps the Australian mines provide a more stable life pattern. Loads of money and a short flight to Thailand.

Dont blame him, the UK hasbecome a multi cultural disaster zone, time to shut the boarders before the UK loses its western way of life forever, like many EU countries are discovering.

Tourist. Absolutely. But not if on a long stay visa/extension (retirement, marriage, etc.), NonB, LTR, or Elite.

yeah interesting.

 

but it seems those on tourist visa are not really policed by the airlines before boarding.

So it would seem. But there is no excuse why immigration can't do the same sitting comfortably at their computers (heaven forbid they work too hard) when someone passes through passport control on entry.

   They should all go back to where they came from 🙂

If we did that, we would all end up in Africa.

   There are long queues at immigration as it is , making people show their return flight would just add to the time and queues , taking into consideration that people don't use physical tickets these days  and its all online
