TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights the challenges expatriates face with Thai immigration, particularly the strict adherence to rules, as indicated by comments about signs and regulations at the Phuket Town immigration office. Anecdotes about behavior such as ignoring rules and cultural misunderstandings emphasize the importance of respect and compliance with local customs.

For those who "That would not happen in my country"

Sorry to tell you, you're not your home country. Be respectful.

Reminds me of signs on the road… that Thai people seem to take as suggestions as opposed to hard rules.

If I were to wear a bikini at the bank, that isn’t going to hurt anyone. But driving negligent will.
