I dont mean to confuse matters with a bit of common sense...but if russians, koreans, and vietnamese are the ones mainly targetted for border bounces and taking advantage of the system, WHY NOT JUST REMOVE THESE COUNTRIES FROM VISA EXEMPT LIST, and make them require Visa on Arrival or in advance?

I know alot of people from other Countries have long taken advantage of border bounces to remain here, but if these countries are the target, why not narrow in a bit.

It seems russian market especially overwhelms regions...like epiphytes....cling on but provide little benefit, and suck the Life out of hosts.

But its not just them, maybe they are the majority but by far not the only ones. Not many Russian, Viet or Korean English teachers are there now.

They cannot because the countries will remove reciprocal agreements for Thais..

It's only a small percentage of their nationals who are abusing the system, there is no need to penalise the majority who are most welcome.
