What is the significance of the event led by Police Lieutenant-General Surachate Hakpal regarding TM.30 and Section 38 of the immigration act?

ONLY MARGINALLY THAI VISA RELATED: (sorry ;) )

Hmm, looks like a BIG to do today out at the Sports Club on Viphavadi Ransit Road.

The head of the immigration office Police Lieutenant-General Surachate Hakpal – known as “Big Joke” has an event going on with about 200 people (and the obligatory press) in attendance.

It seems like it's covering TM.30's and the clause in the immigration act (Section 38) that pertains to it.

We have a "man on the ground" who is attending it and will hopefully provide updates or a re-cap of what took place.

Here's some shots of it before it got up and running.
