You are right, but history has showed that silly things can get worse. Forgot that in Germany, people were not allowed to go to a shop, a park a swimmingpool etc? Than had to wear a star? If you are not careful things go out of control. Surely in Thailand as laws can be bend as they like. Best example was the the noisy Italian students in the BTS who got fined..and another story is the people who opened a business as a loophole in the law, to built a house and land.This government is not like in the Western world. And of course you have to behave in the country you live in, but what will not be acceptable in while anymore?

Personally, I’m not seeing it to be quite the big issue that you do.

But just because you’ve got paranoia, doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you. As the saying goes.

This is awesome! Hopefully they will enforce! Out with the pack!

Do you think it okay for people to be loud and unruly on the BTS and to use a phony business to circumvent the law?

And you do not seem to understand what loophole means. A loophole in a law, allows people to do things legally.

What new deportation rules?

Members have said nothing has changed here in 25 years. 😂 😂

Correct, little to nothing has changed, rule wise. The enforcement has, as I think their tolerance has run a bit thin. And I for one, welcome the newer enforcement. If you can't color within the lines ...

... oh well, Cya

I think it a good bet he uses a phony company to own property illegally and an agent to obtain his visa illegally and now he's concerned he may be found out.

Exactly. The rules don't change when you put up a speed camera and start ticketing people,

It is a bit scary, because could minor offences also lead to deportation??? the last sentence in this article is : So if you are not doing anything illegal, it doesn't concern you... But vaping is illegal as an example...a few days overstaying...and strict according to the law, even washing your car is illegal... It sounds silly these things, but in fact if they want rid of you they can now deport you.. And than I don't even talk about sex on the beach, or in public. Which is in my opinion not done nor in Thailand as in the home country, but that kind of offences can have serious consequences now.. I hope a real court orders the deportations and not a police or immigration officer

Looks like you didn't read the OP.

No I know, but the point is they can easily find ways now to deport you.. Minor offences will not have an impact but what about drunk people who are fighting in the street??? Couples having sex in a tuk-tuk or on the beach?? They face possible deportation now because of morality or public wellbeing

"Sticky wicket, that". Sorry, could not help myself. Just for a smile.

I know but it is still tricky....Laws can be bent as it suits them. Most of the time nobody will complain about it, but the history have shown that once limitations are starting it can end terrible

Calm it Janet. The Interior Ministry isn't going to deport you or anyone for washing their car or vaping.

Now, if you are vaping while washing your car on a Buddha day...

That right there's a double recipe for disaster, no?

Doesn't it have to pass through BOTH houses of government, and then only becomes laws when posted in the Royal Gazette.

Per the OP

"The Prime Minister's Office Regulation on Deportation BE 2569 (2026) was published in the Royal Gazette on 27 August and takes effect on 28 August."

Done and dusted

That is exactly my point. In Thailand there are draconian laws , which can and will be explained forwhat they like.

These laws will be used to extort bribes out of foreigners in the future.

I wasn't replying to the OP, I was replying to your ... "What rules have changed ? "

I believe the OP simply states slight changes, prompting deportation to be faster. Did you read or understand the OP ?

... "Where a court gives a suspended prison sentence or imposes a fine, the Office of the Judiciary must urgently send relevant information to the Interior Ministry for consideration.' ...

The laws were already on the books, how they now react to them, is more relevant in the OP. As stated, already published in the Royal Gazette also.

Hope you can understand what that actually means, although from your reply, not sure you do.

conduct considered contrary to public order, morality or public wellbeing

Generally I have no issues with these factors but specific examples are needed to assist in proper and effective compliance versus xenophobia or anti-faith/nationality/morality/politics.

How exactly is public order, morality and public well-being measured? Might as well just cite "national security" that runs as deep and large as the Pacific. It's already in the Constitution.

Except that the moment you provide specific examples, you are limited to those examples.

They are intentionally vague, because they have to be.

You have no clue what you are talking about... In my country everybody can work in the garden, wash the car or whatever.. but in Thailand you need a work permit for it...There will be no problems normally but if people don't like you you can get in trouble because the draconian laws..Not long ago someone stated that moving a motorcycle of a rental shop could be punished as it is een as work... Probably you don't know what happened in Europe with certain people around the WOII

Hm, Can I work on my car to repair some small things or change lightbulbs !??

Foreigner unlawfully operating a business..............Search in Koh Phangan... the success rate will be sensational...
