starchild5 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 What if a guy is good as well as bad.... I'm a good guy, but I do indulge in some sin from time to time...I think majority of us are a mix of good and bad... Thailand can be taught a lesson to respect humanity and not treat us like some Number when people spread out too other destinations in Asia. Its all in the hands of Farangs, even if their population is lower than Chinese, they are trend setters...wherever they go, tourism picks up. Look at Combodia, tourism is picking up there, more and more people are going to Philippines as well. Once the numbers come down, they will RELAX all these rules. Farangs do it ...Make your way to other places... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlQaholic Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Are those bars still rotating? I have not been there for like 10 years or so.

KittenKong Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I see no problem with deporting farangs who are wanted for crimes elsewhere, or who commit crimes here. I dont particularly want them living near me, or running businesses that I might frequent. Of course proper punishment of Thais who commit crimes would be nice also, but that seems less likely.

Always surprised with these statements about putting everything in your wife's name. Both cars are in my name, bikes in my name, house is 50/50 owned, as was the last one and I got 50% of it when sold, although my wife pays the mortgage. Sometimes I reckon people get some very bad advice out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria for obtaining a retirement visa is pretty relaxed as it is. Most countries prefer tourists to come for a short stay, spend money and piss off home - Thailand isn't doing anything out of the ordinary.

I wouldn't be surprised if they tighten up a few other rules. Retirees are tolerated. They want everyone else to come for a short trip, spend a lot of money, and go home! They also expect that retirees will die soon. In January next year the new Immigration Questionnnaire for Retired Old Gits will require you to enter date of death next to date of birth. No longer than five years life expectancy will be allowed, and if you don't die on or before the date nominated there will be an overstay fine of 5,000 Baht a day levied. The shock of paying the fine, which has to be paid in person and daily, is expected to dispell any thoughts of living on.

Sometimes I reckon people get some very bad advice out here. Foreigners can't own land - i.e., a proper house. So I don't think your 'legal' claim to your last house on land was anything more than 0%? Condos are different of course. So, in general I do support their "good guys in / bad guys out" - just helps you remember you will never be treated the same as a local, regardless of what your passport says.
