After the rants of  “farang-shower-experts”, nothing more, as predictable. The campaign was prepared after the beach stairways, and is taking its momentum. Like I said in another thread,
the Thaliandbans working down their task list. High season is finished, tourists are mostly gone, plenty of time to investigate the long stayers.
They want package tourists, in fenced 5* resorts. Hauled around in VIP buses, directly from the airport, and straight back to the airport.
Staying 2/3 weeks, spending 5000 US, or more. After that, bye, bye, cu again next year, with a wai, and a smile.
Long stayers are the thorn in the side.
With some luck, it's cooling down, like so many other campaigns, and crackdowns.

My point is, that I really would like to know, how many of all those screaming, and stupid “kick them out, ban them, jail them” parrots (in whatever case), here their “Good Guy” sanctuary
are involved in dodgy companies, land deeds, and other circumvented loophole arrangements.
“Schadenfreude” isn't funny any more, when the targets include yourself.

They want legal longstayers. The crackdown is aimed at illegality in case you didn't notice.

 

And yes, I like it that illegality is clamped down on. I was checked, all legal. Am I allowed to post on here?

Dante's special place in hell for the hypocrite comes to mind. One of the holier-than-thou members that polluted this forum years ago had to return to the UK because his council discovered he was sub-letting his central London flat and earning £900 a month profit. 

 

There will be a mass collapse of ars*s when the new taxation regime demands people on retirement visas validate their income. The last time it came close the UK gov refused to disclose personal financial information ( quite right ). This time round the Thai gov will merely ask if the individual is in receipt of a UK based pension. You'll then witness the pitiful sight of the Wearie Willie rats deserting the sinking ship, esp when the Thai gov says "by the way, this is his/her eighth renewal." 

Not to forget the very active Chinese mafia who are taking over but as usual, very discreetly and with the usual crooked smiles.

You can post what you want, even if you would be not an “all legal”. Thank you for the info (the CV is missing).
But, who (tf) wants to know that?
You missed my subject, but at least you felt addressed…
As I feel allowed to post, what I think about parrots.
