Lets hope they do start to ban people soon, there is no excuse for it, it's not cool, clever or right to break the law.

Why are people so filled with hate over something that has no impact at all on their own visa status ?

Why do you hoe they start banning people ? There are various reasons for people overstaying and these have nothing to do with you.

I just don't get it

Is it so hard to understand, its called breaking the law? Also, if it wasnt such a big deal, why are the Thais cracking down on this?

This thread and the one that got closed down just shows the disparity between the good and bad farangs. It also should go far to disprove the rumor that all farang are good and law abiding citizens. It also goes to prove that some of the people that are first to bash their host the thais for stupid human tricks, are actually performing stupid tricks themselves.

There are no reasons for people overstaying, only excuses of irresponsible behavior.

Perhaps the people treat the law here like it's a joke?

I myself have made some statements here that I would not have made had this been Hong Kong for example.

Not that I have overstayed, but I don't throw stones at those who did either, when I am having a look around at what's happening in this "Amazing Thailand".

I am not suggesting by any means for anybody not to follow laws, but if some people here think that Farangs setting a good example is going to change Thai society, well....keep hoping that I guess.

Farangs setting a good example may not change Thai society, but bad farangs setting a bad example has and is changing the way Thais look at all farangs.

Not surprising, they want people to come back and keep spending money.

People on overstay are most likely not spending much money--if they did, why would they be on overstay? Then, there are those who are evading the law, they may be spending money, but what else are they into? Either way, not exactly the kind of foreigner it appears the Thais want--certainly not the kind I would want.

And no responsible sensible person would disagree with any of that.

Yes -- and here, courtesy of the Thai Bureau of Immigration's official website, is a rendition of how they consider at least some of our overstaying digital nomads:

After removing several posts for various reasons it seems this topic has run its course.
