As it always has, for those whose activities upset somebody!

 

Quite a smart gaffe, for a couple in their twenties!

Always has been. Just harder to remember when your Permission to Stay ends if it was obtained 90 days previously.. easy to forget all about it while working in a tourism kiosk!

Or sounding the car horn, giving the middle finger, disputing/refusing to pay the bar bill or taxi fare or engaging in any activity that could be construed as working ....

Thailand You wanted them, you got 'em, what did you expect the Russians to do after 3 months? Out of interest do they get another 3 months on a boarder run?

Yes I believe so... there may be a six month in 12 limit though.

They should start searching them better at the airport, asking why someone needs 3 laptops, also when they see a farang with a large amount of luggage, 

I think if you found a farang coming into the country with crypto mining rigs that would be a sure sign he intends to work,

Another 2 recruits for the front line

welcome to EU, they dont care, you being illegal. Also you can work, dont need any visa or else.

Easy finding work in restaurants, bars or many other branches.

You want to apply for (refugee) visum, you are welcome to do so. Though a bit crowded line.

If you pick the right country, they will assist you  with money, housing, language, work and so on.

It seems the Thai Gov agencies are finally working, Dave gave them a kickstart, he will go down in history as upsetting a LOT of farangy's........
