let's start with those with criminal records

           What sort of criminal record is it that you are constantly bleating about,?  Any offence at all judging by the sanctimonious nature of your posts, 

           So that would presumably include, not paying ones fines eg  TV licence , or ,  allowing ones dog to foul the footpath, ? all banned from travelling for life?   Patently ridiculous,   And lets not forget that in the UK at least all but the most serious offences have a time limit regarding whether or not they are disclosed, 

           I'm not quite sure what you, in your infinite wisdom  have decided this guy is previously  "guilty" of  but  a minor drunk and disorderly offence or similar would not  be   disclosed after 5 years anyway

           You may have forgotten, but many people, especially younger ones tend to "let their hair down" when on holiday, The hot temperatures here along with the drinking culture in places like pattaya mean that inevitably some will go a bit to far, but the vast majority of them will never have been in trouble before,  Serious career criminals, with or without criminal records  do not generally behave in such an antisocial manner, preferring not to attract attention. 

            For those that do misbehave, the Thais are perfectly capable of dealing with themselves, "one way or the other"  and as we have seen many times,  they don't need "Mr Outraged" and "Mr holier than thou" from the "quality expat community"  to help them  sort things out 

            Places like Pattaya have always been a bit seamy ,and visiting there was always considered a bit of a walk on the wild side. for many that was part of the attraction, minor incidents like this are not uncommon but most people take it in their stride, shake their heads, or shrug their shoulders, maybe have a bit of a snigger and just get on with life.

            Its always been  like that , nothing has changed, just the way the media has started reporting things, anti british sentiment has been on the increase worldwide for years, started by our homegrown lefties and eagerly promoted by a left leaning media, looking for click bait,  The British are not behaving any differently than they ever have, its just more widely broadcast.

             Some "quality" ex-pats having moved here to retire  with their bar girl wives, eventually lose the rose coloured glasses and  realise its not really for them, must be quite a culture shock for  Ex teachers and the like after all.   perhaps they should consider  moving to  somewhere like Singapore where, with  their authoritative approach to law and order,  their  western expectations  are more likely to be met

People wanting long stay visas can provide a home country criminal record check, we don't have to problem solve it here

Interesting use of the word "we"  !        you and your cronies won't be solving anything here  anytime soon.

Perhaps he would be safer back home instead of wasting police time here. 

(Tongue in cheek!)

well he certainly wouldn't have to worry about the AN lynch mob, so I think you are right,

You want rid of tourists who come to Thailand to get wasted on drugs and alcohol?

Indeed he does,  I find the Idea of "banning" thousands of hedonistic holidaymakers, the likes of which have been coming here for over 30 years  to appease a few geriatric holier than thou expats  to be one of  the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. 

Surely the most sensible and practical solution for him and his ilk  would be for them to move,

A hint of bigotry and racism in your reply 

Most of us on here? Very sad

What bigotry and racism have you "identified" in my post    which race have I offended or discriminated against? You do realise I am British right?  my criticism was aimed at the brit bashers their ethnicity is not known or  important and was not mentioned or referred to

it's none of your business what other foreigners do unless it affects you personally and just by posting negatives about them

Shady foreigners make the non shady ones look bad, so you are wrong it is everyone's business

As I've told you before we don't have to problem solve it here, Immigration can decide, maybe you'd get deported

Making negative comments about foreigners, coming from other foreigners, shows the locals if they can talk bad about themselves, they must all be pretty bad, because they figure we would show restraint. When someone does something wrong, and not to you, it's the policeman's job, not yours. Of course shady foreigners make others look bad, but pointing it out isn't your deal. You buy women, which in some ways is against the law, so that could make you a criminal also, depending on the circumstances.

A criminal record check on entry would filter out a lot of these low life

 

Pattaya would be completely empty if you stopped anyone with a criminal record from entering.

 

Covid locksown period would look like NYE in comparison.

Mate, it's a cesspit but you can acclimatise over time I guess.

 

Not knocking it or saying it applies to everyone but Pattaya attracts the lowest forms of life.

Ok, how would you do that. It is easy to criticize. Now try and provide a viable solution.

 

And remember you are demanding that Thailand perform a criminal record verification of all  visitors to Thailand. Thailand is projected to have 36 million visitors in 2024. How would Thailand verify all 36 million without causing entry delays and not requiring a processing center staffed by thousands while respecting  every international privacy regulation and obtaining access to the criminal records. You do know that access to such files does not even occur in most western countries don't you? Are you planning on microchipping people or setting up an international biometric tracking system?

This would result in delays and additional expense. How would your solution ensure reliability of data? If Thailand does not have access to real time data, how would Thailand verify the document submitted?  People submit false documents on a daily basis.

 

The UK offers  a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check to get a copy of your criminal record.  It costs £18. The check will only show convictions that are not ‘spent’, for example some types of caution will disappear after 3 months. It can take usually takes up to 14-30 days to receive a certificate. The US FBI offers a criminal record verification for  $18 and requires submission of a fingerprint card and up to 30 days processing. This is just one big hassle. People without criminal records won't put up with it as it shifts the  burden of proof to them. Your demand is not viable not cost effective.
