ORIGINAL POSTER
I want to caution all members. I cleaned up some threads where people were making bad remarks to posters who have many tourist visas in a row.

The visa policy is the thai government's decision to allow it and as long as they do, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not with the policy. Keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

Feel free to contribute to the group, but go somewhere else if you're gonna down people or not offer helpful advice.

If someone is being overly negative please send one of the admin's a P/M.

We want this place to be a group where anyone can ask a question about visas to thailand and get good answers, not get shamed because of the way they choose to stay here.

Thanx

Tod

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of maintaining a respectful environment within the community group focused on Thai visa queries. The admin, Tod, has urged members to refrain from making negative remarks about others' visa situations, particularly those with multiple tourist visas. Positive contributions and helpful advice are encouraged, while discouraging shaming. Members are reminded that the Visa policy is decided by the Thai government and should not be a source of criticism among group members.

It is not really possible to define taking advantage of something that is allowed as abuse of the system. If the Thai Immigration system allows it it is not abuse

You are right, how can taking advantage of something that is meant to be used be wrong? If it was wrong, there would be a rule implemented such as the 2 land crossing exemptions per calendar year. As long as you are traveling every 90 days to another country, it's your choice if you want to apply for a new tourist visa, and come back and put your hard earned money into the Thai economy for another 90 days. That's fair game in the immigration officers eyes, otherwise they wouldn't allow it. I always felt their main concern is that they want to make sure you aren't illegally working in Thailand, not put a number on how many times you are allowed to fly to Thailand with a tourist visa.

Tod is right. I had received private messages instead of them asking questions here because they are afraid to receive negative sarcasm remarks from some people who thinks they are too smart to be in this group. Each and everyone have their own problems and we are suppose to help/advise/ each other out. That’s what community is all about. We if not all are expats here.
