Popular Post fittobethaied Posted June 17, 2024 Popular Post Posted June 17, 2024 So now the police are looking for criminal in churches. Sure, that's where all the really high-profile criminals hang out. Ha! Their time should be more wisely spent fixing that broken tile floor at the entrance to that Immigration office before some poor innocent soul trips and breaks his neck! 2 1
praguecr Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Ridiculous and shameful to parade her photo publicly. What is the point? To show how effective and hard working they are? BTW, compare this to the USA which is arguing about 13 million illegals presently in the country and given a variety of assistance i.e. jobs, accommodations, etc. On this point LOS is the USA. 2

Not worshiping the Official Thai Cult that is government funded ? Was not making merit just talking to her pretend friend. Jeez are they checking places of worship now ? 3

NativeBob Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 There are many flavors of Christianity in Philippines, not only catholic. And she probably was in one of those "Iglesia ni Cristo" worshipping houses, but doesn't matter at all. Very disrespectful even offensive act of sheer stupidity. 1 1

She must have money and probably work somewhere in Thailand. And as Phillippina, she speaks far better English than most Thais ! With those skills she must work in the Tourist sector !?!?

I've always thought that if I were to want to stay in Thailand for years as a US citizen I would do the same as she did. Personally for me, paying the fine and being blacklisted would not be a problem. And financially much cheaper and much less headache. What caught my eye here is Philippines is a very devout catholic country, So the cops in Thailand hanging out at a church looking for overstayers .. smart. 1 1

Why? Are worshipping offenders granted immunity whilst in their club houses? I don't think it's too difficult to grasp. Historically, places of worship have been sort of like sanctuaries, and in some cases, legally such. Culturally, I think it can be pretty easily understood in Thailand, if you imagine a bunch of police coming to a Buddhist temple for a random check on worshipers for their passports and/or ID, I believe it would be highly likely be considered to be incredibly disrespectful. I could be wrong, but unless there were some clear reason of suspicion of a crime occurring or having occurred on the premises, I really doubt it would happen. I know that if it happened in some countries, it would be expected that there would be some serious public outcry and possibly lawsuits. This protection can also be seen in how places of worship are given special consideration during war, when it is considered a war crime under international humanitarian law to attack a place of worship and specifically prohibited under various international treaties and conventions, such as the Geneva Conventions. 1

Any examples of the "legal protection" you claim that places of worship have that give that would be applicable here? Acts of war are not.
