hawaiiman Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 A significant change of immigration policy seems to have occurred in 2006, I wonder, with PT taking over, if they will be more friendly to farungs, and ease visa policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puchooay Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I do believe that it was the same "boss" in charge when the money required in the banks was raised. I would answer "No" to your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Last time Thaksin was in power he took away the 400.000 baht in bank option for married couples. Last government reinstated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The changes you speak of happened BEFORE the coup went into effect in 2006. If this is how you measure the risk, you would concluded PTP will be WORSE for expats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is how you measure the risk, you would concluded PTP will be WORSE for expats. Agree, the name TRT ( Thais loves Thailand ) excludes everyone not Thai. TRT = Name of Thaksins first party for newbies . Edited July 14, 2011 by PoorSucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard4849 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, it was Thaksin who raised the PR fee from 50,000 baht to 200,000 baht. But -- his government chugged along issuing PR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janverbeem Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Under Thakin it was decided that all farang bars had to close at midnight,the argument was that real tourists are sleping already at that time as they have to wake up early for their next trip.

Not just "farang bars"...whatever the heck that is. ALL bars. It was a stupid idea that didn't last long, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really how could it be any easier to stay here, the immigration policies are about as easy as any in the world. O forgot you have to meet the requirements. Easing visa policy seems to be a code word for those who donot meet requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
