When I was at the Immigration in Isarn, I managed to read an upside down warning for the officer to look out for people who worked for the British Embassy.

I phoned a friend who worked there and he confirmed that they were only getting 1 month extensions to their visas. What's going on? Have you noticed any anti-UK feelings because of the refusal to extradite Toxin?

Wow, then being British and from Chiang Mai should make me seem extra suspicious!

just renewed my 1 year residence visa ,no problems

Why would people working at the embassy need to go immigration at all?

Sorry folks - my bad - it was the British Council

British Council deals with propagating english language & culture abroad and language education of foreigners coming to the UK for studies.

did you mean british consulate?

You do remember this button don't you Neernam?

Go for a walk or read a book or something, please....

How uncivilized?

It makes sense in an abstract kinda way. Why would the Thai government, given its present state of mind, want to entertain the idea of an English language school in Thailand that is operated by foreigners who are easily replaced by local staff and local businessmen. And don't anyone dare to say the word quality to me in response!

You obviously mean local "foreign" staff & local "foreign" businessmen. If this is what you mean then you'll also understand why "native speakers" are preferred & in demand. And yes, it is to do with quality (generally).

If you obviously think that then you are obviously correct.

Pleeeeease dear god, save us from the pedantic wits of this world.
