Imagine a handful of temporary foreigners doing the same in our home countries.. and then ask yourself if they'd give a shit.. doubt it.

James Siegel . This is why thais have a "main pain rai" attitude to life. Can you imagine the chaos here if they questioned authority like we are raised to do?

History shows it results in bloodshed .

Add to that the whole face saving dilemma . Doubt a military appointed chief is going to heed the advice of some well meaning farangs mate.. 😉

James Siegel . I agree its lopsided too but my point of view is unless one becomes a citizen here, their push for immigration reform will fall on deaf ears, especially here at the moment seeing who is in power. That's all.

James Siegel . Calm down. If a bit of paperwork every now and then makes your blood boil then you have deeper issues. Good luck with your crusade versus a government who doesn't give a shit what a group of non citizens think of their way of doing things. That's my point if you bothered to read my first comment in context.

James Siegel . What status do you speak of? Are you suggesting privelages for long termers? What defines long term? 2 years? Five?ten?

Non immigrant visas are called non immigrant for a reason.
