The ed visa with agent will be available again in June or July. And no, they are not fake, it's real stamp from real officer. Getting a bribe does not mean that the stamp are fake.

Or by the look of some of your comments, a Thai local who think corruption is not a thing in Thailand, LOL.

You are a typical angry old foreigner who is mad at the entire world. Suck it up. You are not the center of the universe.

I agree about ruling and implementation being inconsistent. BUT... in a situation like the one Garrett was in, he handle it the way I would and I've been in Thailand for a very long time. This is the kind of "grinding mentality" that you need in Thai hospital, immigration, police checkpoint, etc.

You don't have any experience dealing with Thai hospital staff, immigration, and police, and it shows. I have dealt with similar situations the way Garrett did and always ended well (even once at the freaking Poi Pet border, the worse border you can think of). There is no such thing as calling the police, they never do it, it's an empty threat always.

This is factually incorrect. The best way is almost always to stand your ground the way he did. I speak from experience. It will very rarely end well if you show weakness.

Factually incorrect, facts don't care about your feeling. You may morally think that something is wrong, but nobody cares about your fragile ego.

Don't get me started on Robert Lagas, the most despicable kind of foreigner in Thailand.
