Some foreigners need to have some pride in their appearance when being at Chiang Mai Immigration.

the fact is he's a guest in thailand. he can be asked to leave at any time.

A guest suggests you were invited, instead of arrived of your own bat.

No one invited me, and beyond my wife, not too many extended me an overwhelming amount of hospitality.

youve obviously never seen the extensive TAT marketing campaigns

hmm.....another quality foreigner in the LOS? Not.

Agree with the post.

We are guests in this country and should represent ourselves appropriately. Clearly the eponymous 'HeavyDrinker' is doing his best to uphold stereotypes so the rest of need to work harder to counter this.

A government building deserves your respect in any country.

No country in the world deseves respect,have a look at the place,and especially not an inate object.

<We are guests in this country>

ENOUGH ALREADY!

A guest does NOT have to PAY to be staying somewhere.

Like all the other farang VISITORS, I pay a lot to be here, so please, please stop with the BS.

"Khun" Jerry,we all know you are the guy that goes around wai-ing street sweepers,trinket sellers and soi dogs!rolleyes.gif

If I go to immigration dressed in a Pith Helmet and Safari Suit,I will certainly be sweating profusely in the 500% humidity of the reclaimed swampland known as Bangkok!

Yet I'm told that sweating is a no-no as far as immigration etiquette goes,as everyone knows that Thai people don't sweat,maybe they just pant like dogs?

So which is it to be?

youve obviously never seen the extensive TAT marketing campaigns

I have a feeling that most of those would be prosecuted as false advertising.

18 years of it.

Was fun for a long time, but times change. are there any really clean and fabulous beaches left?

Last time, I got sick of picking up plastic rubbish.

You betray a remarkable lack of experience in the millinery department. A pith helmet keeps one's head refreshingly shaded. However, when you go to Immigration, I would recommend that you do not take the pith

<are there any really clean and fabulous beaches left?>

Yes, but few of us can afford to stay on them.

Even such mediocre beaches as Haad Khom are being upscaled now that the concrete road has reached it and 24/7 electricity is available.

When Burma finally becomes an acceptable tourist destination, and all those undeveloped beaches open up, the only visitors to Thai beaches will be those that can afford 5*.

Been there done that. Whether I pick it up or the hotel picks it up, it doesn't change the fact that the beach is filthy...

Thailand has changed, so be it. All gone a bit too fast the last 5 years. Infrastructure needs desperate upgrade. Water treatment, roads, schools, hospitals.

I prefer to remember when the beaches were immaculate than revisit and get sad.

Good luck.

I am an expat and it saddens me to see so many expat & tourists looking like they just woke-up from a three (3) day drunk!

Why do so many foreigners present themselves at immigration looking like they just fell out of a trash can?

Please..... have some pride in your actions, clothing appearance & personal hygiene to understand that YOU are representing ALL foreigners to the Thai people when you are in country.

Yes, I already know that I am speaking to the choir.....duh

Why not make your point in person, with the offending parties? Just walk right up to them and tell them what you think.

Not sure posting here will have much of an impact.
