Over the past few months there’s been a huge uptake in member requests to join this group. This has been expected due to the fluid situation for expats in the country or those trying to get in/back to Thailand.

We do not allow advertising in any way in this group. If you see a post or comment by someone offering their services please report the post and the admin team will take action.

If someone calls you a bad name or pisses you off with a comment live with it. As admin we will rarely remove these comments. It’s life. Get over it.

Unlike some other groups we do allow most comments to continue unabated and we don’t mind if the post/comment is not Thai visa related - hence the name “and anything else”. However we do ask that you remain civil to each other. What may appear a stupid question to you is indeed a valid query from someone who doesn’t know the answer. This is especially true if their mother tongue isn’t English.

If someone posts something that you think stupid or irrelevant then just scroll on by. Someone else will help if they can.

Pulling someone up for their spelling of English words is never helpful. I’m English. My mother tongue is English and I misspell words all the time. (well I blame it on my phone and fat fingers).

Keep things civil guys and thank you to all of our members who help out so many others with their advice and recommendations. You all do a sterling job.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post outlines the guidelines for a community group focused on expats in Thailand. It emphasizes the importance of civil interaction and the prohibition of advertising within the group. The admins encourage members to support each other, acknowledge that all questions are valid regardless of how simple they may seem, and suggest that members can engage lightly without negative criticism. Members are encouraged to report any inappropriate posts and maintain a respectful atmosphere.

Good advice. I think this group is pretty cool, because the serious stuff is mixed in with a bit of leg-pulling, and with the serious situation not just in Thailand but the whole world, we've got to have a bit of light banter. So my advice, if your comment is just for fun, put a few smileys on to indicate that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been known to poke a few jibes and be sarcastic here and there but as you say it helps to indicate so because many people don’t understand sarcasm purely because of language barriers. A smiley often helps. 😀
