Unfortunately I can't stand by as I have to visit immigration in the next few days unless something changes. I really do not want to travel through checkpoints and across the province for this, it is crazy when we are supposed to be staying at home.

The immigration do check facebook a lot not just now. They check the repeat 30 day people for any signs of working. I know in Krabi they get interns to do a lot of primary checks.

Yes, everybody could have these pictures. But they contacted him about it, so I guess his opinion is more important to them than Everybody and his brother. Michael ***************
Richard BS in Thailand in my opinion is not a reliable source..
His only interest is his own ego and bait and click.

Whatever it is, remember that it is not official until a formal order decree is signed and issued. Nonetheless this looks to be good news. 🙂

Another few weeks for them to make their minds up. Then they will come up with reforms that only help a small section of people. Then change their mind after 1 day

Bravo Mr Barrow!

I emailed my embassy and sent photos too and they told ME all about the EU pushing for amnesty and reminded the Thai side that any Thai citizens stuck in European countries, had been given visa amnesty - nothing to do with Richard personally I imagine
