    This is meant to address refugees and those who have spent their lives in Thailand, and are stateless. It is a decent thing to do. 

  • Look at that - a country doing something right instead of trying to start a mass deportation program.

  • As I sit on my Soi Bukow bar stool all alone because I am to cheap to buy lady drinks....Let me tell you guys I feel as stateless as can be...   I think I am very well qualified for citizenship

The article makes no mention of expats.

The article talks about people from neighboring countries wo have been living in Thailand for decades who are often stateless. Often doesn't mean always, which means some of them are regular expats and neither stateless nor refugee. I'd say that those are probably the majority.

Regular expats from where? How many "regular expats" have you ever met from Thailand's neighbouring countries? If there are any, they won't qualify for citizenship as they already have their own. And they're certainly not the majority. What's your point?

Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam etc. There's about half a million stateless people living in Thailand, but there's also a million Cambodians living in Thailand, plus about 280000 from Laos, plus anywhere from 100K to 500K Vietnamese. There's definitely more workers who aren't stateless living and working in Thailand than there are stateless people. The article states "often" stateless....

I still don't get your point.

Thailands demographics is the reason. Thailand is running out of working people.  Just a move to get more working class immigrants into the country. You old retiree's are already serving your purpose. Bringing in all your cash.

To be honest this doesn't bother me one bit..

I don't want Thai citizenship, I'm happy staying as a Brit

It would be nice to have 2 passports.    I know several Thais who have 2 .
