I am beginning to believe that the only good Foreigner in Anutins eyes is a Dead Foreigner. He hates them to the bone.

Thais are getting a little annoyed at the moment.

They are basically like Manchurian Candidates who can be activated at will.
Group-Thinkers who can't and won't ever think for themselves.
Exibit A: Coldvid.

As such, if a PM or Media mogul, chooses to point and aim the local population at foreigners,

as seems to be increasingly evident, u should probably have a strong plan B.

It looks like the remake of 1940-1945 has started. Now were are the traitors and collaborators?

Ah well,it was good while it lasted.

Back to Benidorm lads.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Whilst Thailand has a process for cancelling a foreigner's permission to stay, it does not actively deport foreigners. Rather it locks them up in the Immigration Detention Centre indefinitely but places the onus on the foreigner to buy a direct flight to their home country (if such a flight exists) with the assistance of friends and family members on the outside. The funds most certainly do not come from the Thai government.

Therefore, the Thai Prime Minister's insistence on speedier deportations could be very easily accomplished by the Thai Government flying them out. Somehow, I am very confident this is not what he meant but it would achieve his goal.

it would appear you might be wrong

"He told provincial authorities not to delay an expulsion because of uncertainty over the cost of an air ticket. Provinces could pay first and later arrange reimbursement, he said."

I cant get over the hysteria on this thread

If you aren't fighting in the streets, working illegally, involved in any of this nominee rubbish , or murdering prostitutes you have little to worry about ,

good luck with that

And anyway other than a throwaway comment he made during covid about some foreigners not showering as often as they should can we please have some more examples of Anutins alleged history of "xenophobia" and his "Hatred" of foreigners because I'm struggling to find anything of significance

Stating that some foreigners do not shower as often as they should is hardly racist

No. But I reserved one for you, guess you can't use it any more.

He didn't mention Oceania, so if you get pulled, just tell em that you're from Papua New Guinea and therefore exempt from deportation.

Yes and no. Yes, if you are an honest worker on a work permit or retiree or supporting a Thai spouse then you 'should' be ok in the eyes of the government. No, it's not hysteria, because we all get tarred with the same brush as the farang cheaters, the farang who doesn't learn to blend in quietly, the fighters and drunken loudmouths, those trying to acquire Thai land for homes and business (that compete with Thais). That's has a knock-on negative feeling affecting us all in the eyes of Thais. Not hysteria.

As mentioned to another psoter, I'd forgotten about the allied POWs in Kanchanaburi - brought from Burma by Japanese captors. But no Allied-vs-Thai/Japanese combat on the streets or cities of Thailand.

Mr. Jingthing, if you read his posts across the forum, has a real Love/Hate thing going with Thailand - like many farangs who are retired here - he's not unique. On the one hand he is highly critical of Thai nationalism, and on the other hand he's scared to death that the Thai authorities might eventually decide to toss foreigners like himself out of the country. He doesn't have a real Plan B.

Everyone needs a Plan B, and Plan C for that matter. And then stop worrying and enjoy your life here in the LOS.

I consider the above a flame/ad hominem attack.

I am not the topic

Kindly desist.

I think that you are being anti-Siamese. You're a guest here - respect the host country and their culture.

Being critical of Thai politicians is not being anti Thai any more than being critical of Trump is being anti American.

In my opinion what you're doing is to try to intimidate me into self censoring my speech as you've shown a pattern of that obnoxious pursuit.

Buddy worry about your own speech.

Whilst smugly self congratulating about having a "plan B" which always seems to include Vietnam for some inexplicable reason , possibly due to a lack of imagination ,

I got this cemetery search from a quick Google search regarding the River Kwai area;

"The primary war cemeteries associated with the River Kwai and the Death Railway in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, are the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (DonRak) and the Chong Kai Allied War Cemetery. Both honour Allied prisoners of war (POWs) who died during the forced construction of the Thai-Burma Railway during World War"

"It contains the graves of nearly 6,982 Allied soldiers—primarily British, Australian, and Dutch".

I'm not sure if we're reading the same history text but Thailand was occupied by Japan during World War II. They were basically given a choice by the Japanese to be occupied or colonized and they chose occupation as the lesser of two evils. Thailand was actually considered an enemy of the allies and there were several bombing raids that took place over Bangkok. It wasn't until mid to late 1944 that Thailand grew large enough cojones to stop cooperating with the Japanese, as they were already on their knees due to their massive and multiple failed campaigns in Burma and throughout the Pacific.

A little known fact is that for every ton of food, clothing and medicine supplied to Allied soldiers in Burma by the middle of 1944, the Japanese were receiving just one kilo. That's just how desperate things were for Japan by the middle of 44.

However if you skip forward to the 1960s America plowed billions of dollars into Thailand to help build its railways, highways and other infrastructure and an argument could be made that without that investment Thailand might still be a relatively insignificant backwater. Obviously America had its agenda due to the Vietnam War but it was still a massive investment nonetheless, and it was done at a time when Thailand was still quite primitive and undeveloped.

Fool's like Anutin tend to forget that kind of thing, as it's very likely he's never read a history book.

With regards to the USA bombing Bangkok which I did not know that had occurred so I google why they did this and the answer was;

"Strategic Targets: The Bombing of Bangkok in World War II targeted Japanese military installations, airfields, docks, railway stations (such as Hua Lamphong and Bangkok Noi), and power plants, since Thailand was occupied by or allied with Japanese forces during parts of the war".

Which I felt was important to add to your comment regarding this matter.

Just because that's how you are treated, does not mean that is how everyone is treated.

Apparently, they have gotten to know you and are treating as you deserve.

Today I said to my sister I want to be cremated and she said where? My response was offer my Thai wife my ashes but do not put pressure on her to take them as choice two is to be dropped in the beautiful ocean where we live. My guess after my death she will go back to Thailand to be with her family there. She is very close to them. I also added to my sister if my wife is questioned at Thai border security and they ask about this jar of ashes to just tell them it won't be buried otherwise Anutin will get p..ssed off.😂

Yes. As I said, I was referring to allied war graves, not POW graves (no fighting/combat in Thailand - just some bombing raids).

There was fighting on Thai soil, initially Thai forces against the Japanese in the first few days of landing. Later the Brits sent Indian Army troops into Thailand and ended up fighting Thai border forces. And it didn't end there. Once Op Krohcol continued deeper into Thailand, it fought the Japanese at The Ledge, on the road towards Betong. The British force suffered more than 200 casualties before withdrawing Its all in the RAF's chronicles of the ops Malaya/Thailand.
