bentarm44 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 90 day report done today, and a lucky choice of clothes and footwear for me; as it happened. Displayed on the entry doors were a group of pictures indicating a required dress code for visitors. Not seen that before. No mention of colour of clothing was made, but I saw nobody in Orange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfish Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 normal immigration office is not a disco LOL I'm guessing your an old timer as they are now nightclubs and wearing flip flops has never been acceptable Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie66 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) They have something similar at Bangkok immigration but looking at some people there 2 weeks ago it doesn't seem to be enforced. Saw two young foreign women dressed like they were on their way to a nude beach and tons of backpackers with their huge backpacks and obligatory flip flops, shorts and sleeveless shirts.

Popular Post gjoo888 Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 They do have similar signs at Chang Wattana. I don't believe they enforce the dress codes though, but I was always told by my wife to wear long pants, decent shoes and a shirt with a collar when going to any government office. I certainly can't say whether it can affect whether or not your extension or whatever you're applying for will be approved, but it sure can't hurt. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post recom273 Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 I make them right, however, by the very nature of their business that a certain percentage of their foot traffic would be tourists .. it's another example of double standards - yeah, c'mon come to Thailand, free visas all round, we want your money, come spend a couple of weeks enjoying our beaches - but when you want the third month make sure you look smart or we won't talk to you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime they might let it slide but I have seen an attractive blond Russian girl try to get a visa extension in Pattaya wearing a bikini with a wrap around skirt who was told "Go home and put some clothes on " People should remember even though Thailand is tropical and you may be down on a beach you are going into a Government building asking for service .If you want to be given quick courteus service dress appropriately or be asked for extra paperwork or be told get out. Have seen farang with bagy shorts and tank top looking like a beach bum told go back and dress . Even in USA I have been sent to court (jury duty) and have seen a judge send a guy home for being a little too casually dressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NOWHERE Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 I watched with surprise last week, the brother in law emerge from his house with long pants, collared shirt and shoes. Previously unseen by me. Asked him if he was going to a funeral or a wedding. The police station he replied. Now know that he thinks a good impression is important also. But more that he thinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Get Real Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just so sad that they need to put up these signs and pictures. It should just be something that is buildt in to a normally intelligent human being. As easy as dress yourself for the occasion. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a government office not a poolside party. I was in Hua Hin some years back and the way people were dressed was in poor taste hence why many got sent away. Some were not allowed to enter. No kidding some old guy tried to enter with his shirt completely unbuttoned and no undershirt on and big gut hanging out. Security guy waved him off and he actually looked angry about it.

Retards..... Yes, a real retard appearently. It´s amazing how many people exists that just don´t get it. Another fine example is when you go in to an air-conditioned and closed restaurant or pub. Here you can see all the maniacs in their pride with sleeveless tanktops, unbottoned shirt together with beach-shorts and high fashion neon coloured flip-flops. I should be a hefty fine on such behaviour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramen087 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Behaving in a gentlemanly way, dressing neatly, being clean shaven (or trimmed if applicable) and freshly showered shows respect for the government office and the officers there providing a service to you. If you don't feel the need to show these vital cogs in the government the proper respect, you deserve to receive the same in return. Jesus Marimba! It's just common sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Florida; shorts, sandals, even flip flops are common attire for the public in government offices. No one gets upset, taking care of your business with the government does not require a dress code; mostly only requires cash and paperwork. I have been going to the immigration office in Hatyai for ten years now. I get along well with the immigration officers, we even acknowledge each other by name and have a friendly chat. I don't think I have ever worn long pants there. However, the immigration office has no signs depicting proper attire either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
