I hope you Thai is better than your English, otherwise you will be in the deep end if not. Now seeing you have problems in knowing the origins of words, and cannot answer questions put to you, I will help you with bungalow. It originated in India so there you have learnt something today, it hasn't been a loss after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If immigration did that in the US or EU, the progressive media outlets and various government leaders would immediately be screaming, "Racist" as loud and shrill as they can. Here in the LOS, it's all taken in stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US/EU are not destinations attracting 'long stay tourists' (aka economic migrants) en masse, let alone allow them to stay 'indefinitely' through frequent visa renewals.

Dumbastheycome Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Farang... a word I have been informed was originally used to denote the French colonialists in surround territories but has eventually come to mean caucasion people. No differently than Thai ues other words to denote the origin of people from other origins. If Farang causes sensitivity then consider the N.... word for people of African descent. If there is one word that does make me feel uncomfortable it is the common signage in BKK that uses " Alien". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revealed as what is intended by the introductory use of "agenda". Marginalize social opinion and encourage discriminations in contradiction of accepted international convention is nothing less than the "divide and conquer" methodology.

Asiang Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Following the idea of a famous moderator here, people who register and extend their non-o visa with immigration never have problems ? So, Mr Famous moderator, you don't call having a visit from these people a problem maybe ? I still prefer to exit de country 4 days a year and get 4 times 3 months visa, but I am not used to show my private parts to anyone that I do not choose, unlike many of you who think that they do the right thing but are just falling in the immigration trap : the more you are official in this country, the more you will have problems ! Enjoy it ! But tell the truth to the smart people who have no interest to show photos of their rooms to a pervert immigration officer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I am highly disappointed that I haven't had a visit, I got loads of beer, Gin & Tonics in waiting for them to arrive, I even tuned the internet telly into BBC radio 2 so we could sit, chat and enjoy a bit of background music while doing the official stuff but they've let me down, no sign of em anywhere. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to have a G n T and get on with life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeKu Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yesterday (22 Sept.) 2 men and one lady Chiang Rai Immigration phonef to pin-point the house I am staying at in Mae Sai. The senior man said they were on a routine check on foreigners and would like to paye a visit. They came within 10 minutes. I let them into the porch of the house and they photographed my passport and the senior man and lady posed with me for a photo. They asked a few innocuous questions like was this my house, was that my car...we had a friendly short conversation. All smiles. No form signing, no harassment, everything was proper. After telling me I could contact him at the Immigration Office or by phone if needed be, they said goodbye and drove away in their unlicensed car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really enough info to determine what is going on;- What extension are you on What ID did they all show? What happened when you asked to take a photo of them with your phone? Have you checked the phone number he said you could contact him on, etc? Edited August 24, 2018 by scottiejohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisH Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I wonder how these people were selected for the visit. If they are legal, not overstaying and have the correct visa, they are probably clean. I highly doubt transnational criminals are doing their 90 day reports and filling out forms detailing their favourite web pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
