Felt 35 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Why not demand that Visas have to be obtained in the travellers home country at a Thai Embassy where there is greatest possibility to check the applicants particulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 "The minister also urged members of the public to be on the alert and to report to the police if they came across any suspicious foreigners. In the aftermath of the deadly bombing at Ratchaprasong which killed 22 people and injured over 100 others, the minister said that all parties concerned must work hard to restore foreign tourists confidence in Thailand." Yeah.......those two paragraphs would appear contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love66 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 At the same time,They created the rules of Visa for those who have the resources to buy bombs... 400 000 or 800 000 / bombs / year Really good ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToS2014 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Criminals having living been living here. For decades! One must ask the government, why? Indeed, bad people have lived here for years. Wonder how many bad people live in your country, let alone criminals? America is almost over run with them, all with the gise of 'American open arms'. It is a troubling problem that has been brewing, here and their, for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikeith Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How about just following up when there are media reports of rampant human smuggling and issuance of thousands of fake passports? 9 April 2015: Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants were given more than 100,000 fake Turkish passports in order to travel to Turkey and then enter Syria to join ISIL, a daily reported on Thursday. According to a story in the Meydan daily, A.G., an aide of Nurali T., a Uyghur Turk working for ISIL to provide militants with passports worldwide, Nurali T.’s office in İstanbul’s Zeytinburnu district functions as an ISIL passport office. Each passport was sold for $200, A.G. told Meydan. More than 50,000 Uyghur Turks came to Turkey with these fake passports from China via Thailand and Malaysia and entered Syria after staying a day in İstanbul, Meydan reported. A.G. claimed that most of the Uyghurs with fake passports were caught by police in Turkish airports but they were released in Turkey after their passports were seized. “The Uyghurs’ release in Turkey is due to a secret [little-known] Turkish law on Uyghur Turks. More than 50,000 Uyghurs joined ISIL through this method,” A.G. added. A.G. further said that Nurali T. organizes recruits from around the world from his İstanbul office. Militants who entered Turkey with these fake passports are hosted either in hotels or guesthouses for a day before they join ISIL in Syria, A.G. said. http://www.gagrule.net/report-more-than-100000-fake-turkish-passports-given-to-isil/ This smells more uyghur, uyghur, everyday, my moneys on them, the people smuggling and maybe the grey wolves involved with uyghurs over the deportation.

Thai at Heart Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So you won't be able to buy your visa under the table for a couple of weeks then. It's stated elsewhere that the guy bought his visa illegally for 18k. Good regulation this. To catch the 1% make it harder for 99.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekong Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's time for the finger print scanners at all entry points. They need to bring technology to the party if they expect to see improvements. More questions to dark skinned people will not help. Why suggesting more questions to dark skin people? Are dark skin people at the center of the bomb blast? The person suggesting that more questions should be asked to dark skin people should be a good racist according to my thinking. No dark skin person has so far been associated to the bomb blast, why then think more questions should be asked to them? We need to grow above our racist inclinations.

kerrysum Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So, the passport stamper might speak to me and ask my name? Or say "hello"? They couldn't do any less at their jobs than they presently do! Somehow I really like your statement, because it is realistic....... Thank you for your post!

kerrysum Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The minister also urged members of the public to be on the alert and to report to the police if they came across any suspicious foreigners. I think foreigners should be on the alert and report any suspicious looking Thais. Why only suspicious foreigners? So I take it you are getting the picture? The secret is to find peace in your heart, I have. Find joy and I have, to live life, I have. But to worry, is not in my vocabulary anymore. How about this one, live life the best that you can, that is my goal...... Think about these things.... Because if one does not, what is there to gain,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
