Globalist Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Sadly, this is not that far removed from the truth. Any poorly educated, unemployed over-50 foreigner can come to Thailand and be more than welcome to stay, and if under 50, he can marry a Pattaya bargirl to accomplish the same feat. Harder for academics, career professionals, and successful enterpreneurs to base themselves in Thailand, if under 50. It would be good for Thailand in the longer term to do a general overhaul of its visa rules. Edited May 30, 2014 by Globalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieran2698 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thaivisa is not the place for jokes about criminals, sex tourists and illiterate troglodytes. It was the mention of illiterate troglodytes that brought me here. The Arem tribe do not venture as far as Thailand, they stick to the mountainous forests on the borders of Laos and Vietnam.

Suradit69 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) SATIRE Very wise to put this at the head of the article, although a larger pulsating font might catch the attention of a greater number of readers, many of whom are probably gloating about finally having an immigrations policy written with them in mind. Mixed thoughts about this. It's hilarious and brilliantly written, but is this the time and place? Just musing. Not sure about the timing, but when it comes to making ridiculous observations about Thailand, Thai Visa forums is the acclaimed hub ... although in most cases the "satirist" doesn't appreciate that he's satirizing himself and his fellows.

rubl Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yey.... it's April again. Nice one George. Foreigners caught reading books on Thai history, or with a blood alcohol level of under 0.1% risked deportation. I may as well join the queue now Tjeez man, get real! There's still time to buy a few beers or some lao khao and drink it. In the sticks where you live even at 01:23AM (your posting time) you should be able to get alcohol. As for the books, well assuming it's in English it doesn't really matter, now does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photo of you unconscious in your vomit with a naked tattooed prostitute will grant you an IMMEDIATE ONE YEAR EXTENSION VISA. And a teacher certification.

siampolee Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 A superb piece of political and journalistic satire, keep it coming. Definition of SatireSatire is a technique employed by writers to expose and criticize foolishness and corruption of an individual or a society by using humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule. It intends to improve humanity by criticizing its follies and foibles. A writer in a satire uses fictional characters, which stand for real people, to expose and condemn their corruption. A writer may point a satire toward a person, a country or even the entire world. Usually, a satire is a comical piece of writing which makes fun of an individual or a society to expose its stupidity and shortcomings. In addition, he hopes that those he criticizes will improve their characters by overcoming their weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
