Has anyone else noticed that most of the criminals paraded at these photo shoots, Thai and foreign, are heavily tattooed?

What do people think of the idea that, at Immigration, any person presenting themselves with such "body art", should be subjected to special questioning, with the presumption that entry be denied unless they can prove their bona fides?

I would go a step further and make all the new arrivals AND the current farang residents be subjected to tattoo searches. Anybody with any kind of tattoo should be deported. Have you noticed that it's never the educated and civilised people who cover their bodies with this "art", always the riff raff, ex-cons etc. No tattoos - no riff raff - equals peaceful and safe LOS. Simple.

Lord, please let me be next in line when they strip search Megan Fox.

Well, he will not undergo any tatooing in a Bangkok slammer then. And as he is seeked by the Swiss authorities he will be flown on a government-sponsored ticket to merry old Switzerland, where a prison term is better than many lousy travel packages you can buy on the market. Menues to choose from, Internet, education-enhancement possibilities and some pocket money. Life is a breeze and if he would not have been such an idiot then he would have been able to enjoy the cash fall as robbing a bank in Switzerland enjoys certain sympathy - meanwhile!

Perhaps people who like tattoos are idiots but I bet most can spell LOSER correctly.

Well, maybe if the guy had tear drop tattoos under his eyes, or other "prison tattoos" or gang style tattoos, then that comes down to common sense. The Thais that have Sak Yant tattoos usually have those tatts on their chest and back as the location of those tattoos is determined by the 'witcha' of the tattoo itself (each one is supposed to be on a specific body part). Sak Yant tattoos are actually magical spells made flesh, and can act as bulletproof vests of the supernatural. Since they supposedly stop bullets and knives, they also shut out good fortune--hence why many who wear them turn to crime or are already criminals. Many farangs who get Sak Yant don't really understand their meaning.

But your comment seems as though you can't differentiate between a hippie with a Ganesh tattoo, a muay thai fighter with a tiger sak yant (for power or protection), or a MS-13 gang member with 'Mara Salvatrucha' tattooed accross his face. Makes me wonder how sheltered you are, and thankful you don't work the customs line.

Yours,

a heavily tattooed ThaiVisa member.

Darn it. I've been so longing all these years to retire in LoS. It's my own fault though - I did have tattoos when I broke the speed limit that time.

I think that's a great idea. Luckily I have splendid bona fides. Still, I'm not looking forward to the unavoidable body-art strip search every time I land. But at least I'll be smart enough to bring a packed lunch, to sit and eat while I wait for the 200 people ahead of me to get strip searched. Or maybe there'll be an ink dog, who'll scamper past me, of course, but nail the recidivist human canvas behind me. As the undesirables are dragged away in shame, I'll thank God for sparing me from spending any more time in close association with such inexterminable scum. Let's fire up a petition for this brilliant initiative!

Must have been really difficult to identify him.

 

Yep ! No distinguishing marks ! Judging on appearance, if he was the "brains" behind the robbery...............what do the others look like?

"Mr. Tharit said the assets would be returned to Swiss authorities, and Thai officials were investigating how the man managed to smuggle the money into Thailand."

Thailand is top ten destination for international money laundering because it's easy to bring money in with few/zero questions asked.

and hard to transfer large sums back of thailand

Wow what a ridiculous statement filipesed, tattoos make an instant criminal.

Therefore your logic dictates all old men are pedophiles...etc etc. Too bad its not an offence to be an ignoramous Or you would be in solitary confinement.

''The arrest was a collaborative effort of 3 agencies,''

Combined with a few conspicuous tattoos.

That was my thought also. I always wondered why those that choose a career as a criminal have some of the most obvious and ridiculous tatoos. It's like running around with a huge neon light saying "It's me."

He is going to get one more tattoo it will say "LOOSER" and will be across his forehead.

BTW he looks very black skinned for a farang, wonder if he's been taking yabba?

He liked to sit in the sun and count all his assets.

This is the most sweeping generalization I have ever seen on this site. Staggering.

How predictable. Just follow the girlfriend. Did the man hear of other destinations where your picture is not yet taken at immigration and where your details are not typed in a computer? He has a few years to think about it and next time when he robs a bar he would hopefully have removed his tattoo so he is not immediately recognizable anymore and go to a nice island in the Caribbean.

I dared say if he was going to get that tattoo that it would not be in that location, perhaps a little further south...

      Climate Talks in Turmoil Over Fossil Fuel Debate and Financial Commitments

      I support climate change action. I do not support a financial shakedown by corrupt nations who refuse to provide a transparent and honest undertaking with what they would do with the money they demand. China is one of the worst pollution enablers. It constructs coal burning power generation plants, and heavy polluting industry facilities for profit in these countries and then demands that western countries subsidize the damage mitigation efforts necessitated by its own activity. India is another of the world's worst offenders and refuses to undertake even the most basic of water pollution mitigation initiatives. Russia has been pumping oil in Servia with the result of some of the most catastrophic oil pipeline and water spill results in the world. its response os to incarcerate or to kill anyone who reports on the environmental catastrophe. It is time for western nations to grow a backbone and say no to the extortion.

      Thai worker abandoned in Israel after hospital discharge - video

      Once again, a story without background and without details. The man received medical care and was released from the hospital. We do not know why he was in hospital. Did he attack someone? Was he on drugs? Did he have a mental health crisis? Was he a danger to other people? Sometimes troublesome workers are terminated. Israel has laws in place that regulate foreign workers and they are enforced. The labour unions, NGOs and a representatives of the Thai government do monitor worker labour conditions. All workers are provided with a tip sheet that provides contact information in the event of a problem. There is a toll free hotline. There are tens of thousands of foreign workers, and they are not all in agriculture. They are employed in healthcare, skilled trades, the hospitality industry, particularly in Eliat, and in restaurants. (Thai cuisine is popular in Israel). There is one issue here with one agricultural worker. For reference sake, the Israeli Law 5751-199 sets out foreign worker rights. And yes, it is enforced. Israel cannot afford to lose its foreign workers. Contract of employment. 1C. (a) The employer has entered into a written employment contract with the foreign worker, in alanguage understood by the foreign worker, and had provided the foreign worker with a copy thereof. (b) Such terms of employment as have been agreed between the parties shall be specified in the contract subject to the provisions of any enactment, and also specifying all the following: (1) the identity of the employer and of the foreign worker; (2) job description; (3) the foreign worker's salary, the composition thereof, the manner of updating the same including its constituents parts and dates of payment; (4) a list of deductions from the salary; (5) payment made by the employer and the employee for the employee's social benefits' (6) the date of commencement of the employment and the period thereof; (7) the length of the foreign worker's normal working day or week including his weekly rest day; (8) conditions concerning aid absences, including leaves, festival days and sickness days; (9) the employer's obligations under sections 1D and 1E and under section 1A, in so far as they apply to him. (c) Nothing by virtue of the provisions of this section shall derogate from the provisions of a collective agreement or extension order within the meaning thereof in the Collective Agreements Law, 5757-1957, or from the provisions of any enactment, that apply to the foreign worker and to the employer. (d) The Minister may make supplementary regulations for the purpose of this section and to section 1F including prescribing those additional matters which must be written into the said employment contract, and as to those terms that must not be included in the employment contract, which if included, shall be null and void, and all in order to ensure fair conditions for the foreign worker having regard to the provisions of any law, a collective agreement or an extension order as provided in subsection (b). Medical insurance. 1D. (a) The employer shall arrange at his own expense, medical insurance, for the foreign worker covering the whole of the period of his employment with him, which shall include such basket of services as the Minister of Health shall prescribe for this purpose by order; and the Minister of Health, with the agreement of the Minister of Finance may prescribe that such medical insurance shall include health services in addition to those provided in the basket of services. (b) Where a basket of services has been prescribed by the Minister of Health under subsection (a), the employer's obligation to arrange such medical insurance for the foreign worker as prescribed by order, shall apply until the expiration of six months from the date of the publication of such order. (c) The employer may deduct from the foreign worker's salary an amount that he has expended or as actually undertaken to expend on insurance premiums as aforesaid, in an amount that shall not exceed the amount prescribed by the Minister, whether in general terms or according to categories. (d) The provisions of this section shall apply for as long as the Minister of Health has not otherwise prescribed special arrangements for foreign workers under section 56(a)(1)(d) of the National Health Law, 5754-1994. Suitable residential accommodation. 1E. (a) The employer shall make available at his own expense for the use of the foreign worker, suitable residential accommodation throughout the whole of the period of his employment with him and until a date that shall not be for less than seven days after the end of such employment, and where from the date of the end of such employment and until the end of the foreign worker's stay in Israel a period of less than seven days remains - then to date that shall not be less than the number of days remaining. (b) The employer may deduct from the foreign worker's wages an amount by way of reimbursement of such expenses as he has incurred or has actually undertaken to incur, for residential accommodation as aforesaid, in an amount that shall not exceed the amount prescribed by the Minister, whether in general terms or for categories of foreign workers. (c)(1) The Minister, may exempt an employer from the obligation imposed upon him in subsection (a) to workers employed by him in such specific assignments as he shall determine, or whose wages exceed the amount that he has prescribed; an exemption under this subsection may be granted in regulations in general, or in relation to a particular foreign worker; (2) An employer who has not made suitable residential accommodation available for a foreign worker due to an exemption that he has received pursuant to paragraph (1) shall make a payment to the foreign worker for suitable residential accommodation of such amount as shall be prescribed; an amount prescribed pursuant to this subsection shall be linked to the index as the minister shall determine. (d) The Minister may prescribe, in consultation with the Minister of Health, and the Minister of Housing and Construction, binding criteria for suitable residential accommodation, including conditions relating to safety and sanitation.

      Thailand vs Panama. Decisions Decisions!

      Part of it may be not liking foreigners in general, not just lack of curiosity. Is definately not just you. Odd isn't it? It's not something that can be overcome in my opinion, after living here many years. Bob and I were on the same page in this regard as well. Many theories were brought up, including penis size, but I don't think anybody really knows. On the surface it seems to be disinterest, but there is a spitefullness as well and avoidance you don't find with just non-interest. Very different then Mexican guys who are easy to meet and interact with even with the language barrier.

      UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud

      Literally cornered a guy today on his trips to Phillippines. And he admitted it. All these years he's talking about foreigners defrauding the UK government, yet he's doing the same thing. Irony lost on these racist Brits.
