For men only Italian and French should be allowed.....Germans must wear a Burka. Yes...if you don't regard their religious symbols, don't go at such places.

Popular Post Seastallion Posted August 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2014 Should Thailand Put A Bounty... ...on people like you? my answer is yes! That's particularly nasty Mr Naam, afterall, if all the illegal and blatant wrongdoers were dealt with quickly, the situation for people doing the correct things would only improve. You are being nasty, take your medication and have a sleep. there's nothing wrong dealing with wrongduers. what's wrong is the low-life demand putting bounties on them. that's sickening! Why? The do-gooders should have an incentive. Police get paid...why not also pay people who help the police catch farang criminals? The sooner the Russian pimps and prostitutes, Bulgarian theives, British wheeler-dealers, paedophiles, over-stayers, etc are weeded out, the sooner the good farangs are not lumped in and tarred with the same brush as the undesirables. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I think overstayers does not tops the doing good list but snitches are right at the bottom .... how deep can you sink? Snitches only have a bad name amongst baddies. Look at the number of arrests lately that were made as a result of a tip-off. You're saying the tipper-offerer is a lowlife...I say without him the baddies get away, and so he is a good guy. All a matter of perception.

mrtoad Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Only if a lot of violence can be used else the job is no fun. And for those of us who want to do this an SS style uniform would be a good reflection of what we are doing. Actually NSB style uniform would be better. They were the Dutch that cooperated with the Germans in WW 2. Don't forget the Gestapo they will be responsible for searching hard drives to make sure the are no Digital Nomads in the midst. Maybe if lucky we get tazers too.. i seen the police tazer invalids and old people.. maybe we can do that too. You know its a good deterrent. In Belgium it is fully accepted to taser anybody caught drinking Heineken "beer". Overstayer or not. Agreed, that The "H"is a blight on the beer landscape. I think you can head up the "beer police" and round up those who have fallen into the trap of purchasing devil water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttthailand Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I can see it now.... Thousands of reports coming in daily on everyone who's wife owns a business or people who own a few rentals or people who others think are working on computers in their homes. What a pain it would be for the police. Also, there are people who are just as$holes who can not mind there own business and would be reporting people for no real reason except that they heard someone talk about someone who knows someone who believes that someone is doing something that might be work related ...... you get the picture. Also people who go out and do a little gardening and who's neighbor is jealous and reports them... And can I sue the person who filed a false report on me. Does that person take responsibility for and stress or damage he caused on the other person who is not found guilty ? Also, does that person have to show up at court to prove that he saw the other person working ? I think very stupid idea. Also, how would you know if someone is on overstay ? Did you see their passport ? If so why did you see ? Are you 100% sure or are you guessing based on the way they look. Another stupid idea !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post teatree Posted August 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2014 To assist Thai Immigration in it's efforts to stem the plague of law-breakers in the Country I was wondering if it would be a cost effective move to go down the Bounty Hunting route. Foreign Police Officers are already part of Thailand. Should Foreign Bounty Hunters be next? I believe this move would save Thailand a fortune in chasing these miscreants and use that money for more worthwhile expenses. I'm still thinking of suitable a fee structure maybe you have some ideas. How about a routing out of sanctimonious pr*cks? I would support that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooHaa Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If I get that hunting job, can I hunt down PWSOH (posters without sense of humour) in my spare time? Great idea. It seems like there's so many against the idea of weeding out the criminals hiding amongst us. I wonder what they are hiding or fearing ? 😆😆😆😆😆😆 perhaps they are content to live and let live. and to be honest, I thought we were talking about overstayers not criminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think immigration laws are very important, obviously governments around the world think this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon676545345 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If you know anyone who is on overstay or engaged in criminal activity why not go to the relevant Thai law enforcement agency and report them? Or is it that you don't think the Thai authorities are up to the job? Or maybe it just suits your unfounded sense of self importance that you should have special consideration from the Thai government and have visa waivers created for you? When the on liners suggested creating a visa to cater to their needs you were dead against that, yet know you feel that visa laws can be changed to suit your need seriously your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Why not put some time and energy into enjoying the country you live in, maybe go out into the big wide world and make some real friends you may possibly learn some social skills. Is it really the best use of your time is spending all day being belligerent on an internet forum? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauGR1 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ahh.. How easy life would be if there were only good people and bad people.. Although i can't deny the OP having a point, i guess there are unlimited shades of grey between black and white. There was a guy, few years ago, who said something like : " Let who's without sin cast the first stone" Personally, i'll stick to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
