Popular Post ikke1959 Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 (edited) They have clue.. They see all foreigners as tourists for a few weeks to spend their money here and leave. Long term expats and retirees are allowed here to sit at their home travel around the country and drink coffee, and the latest pay tax.. But they are not allowed to do even some volunteer work which on a retiring visa is impossible because you can't get a workpermit for free work on it. So sit at home watch TV and go drink coffee and sometimes travel around ... That is retirement in Thailand and they are wondering why there are no people coming. You need a work permit for everything that a Thai can't do, so no jobs left for long term expats Edited March 14 by ikke1959 3 2 2 1 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 I wonder if they know how they look to foreign tourists visiting the country?

Popular Post CartagenaWarlock Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 33 minutes ago, motdaeng said: and ask yourself, why is thailand a favourite destination for criminals and scumbags ... Because it's easy to get into the country, work illegally, or set up a business to employ illegal immigrants by bribing. My take on this is that all foreigners (except genuine tourists), including perpetual tourists, must be dealt with harshly, even for a minor infraction, unless they are from the neighboring countries. Foreigners and perpetual tourists who cannot live a decent life in their home country, let alone find a woman in their own land, travel 10,000 miles for a decent life, and then engage in working illegally, setting up businesses illegally, and overstaying. All these people must be dealt with very harshly to remind them that they cannot come to Thailand and violate local laws. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This piece of news are about Immigration and tourist police. As they work with foreigners and not with the local citizens, it´s only natural that they also give information about that. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post webfact Posted March 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 14 Phuket ramps up tourist security measures ahead of visa-free travel by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of PR Phuket The national commander of the Tourist Police, Police Lieutenant General Saksira Phueakam, and Police Major General Manat Sriwongsa, Deputy Commander of the Immigration Bureau, arrived in Phuket yesterday in a bid to enhance the safety and convenience for tourists visiting the popular holiday destination. The visit saw them accompanied by Police Major General Phopphon Chakkaphak, Commander of Tourist Police Division 3. The high-ranking officials were in town to strategise and implement measures aimed at boosting confidence among tourists and preserving the integrity of Thailand’s booming tourism industry. Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira explained that the national police commander, Police General Torsak Sukwimol, recently convened a meeting with top-ranking officers from the Tourist Police and the Immigration Bureau. The discussion centred on measures to ensure the safety of the increasing number of tourists visiting Thailand, especially in light of the recent implementation of visa-free measures by the government. Phuket alone is set to welcome over a million foreign visitors in 2024, according to Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira. In response, Pol. Gen. Torsak has stressed the need for collective action among all police units to prevent and suppress any illegal activities perpetrated by foreigners in the country.

Popular Post Guderian Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 They should keep up with the news a bit more. Clearly, to solve all the problems they only need to ban people from Switzerland, since it's Swiss who've been causing all the problems in the last week or so. They're giving the angelic tourists from Britain an Australia a bad name! lol 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
