you think I am unaware of what anyone wanting to enter countries like UK face? I worked with immigrants, asylum seekers and many friends have struggled with the UK immigration system and the policy of creating a hostile environment. The main difference is the transparency whereas some may describe the Thai system as hostile with a smile. Two faced. Part of the culture to pretend confrontation is uncomfortable whilst behaving as if it is a requirement. I never pretended things are superior at home but I do say that because one does wrong does not make it okay to follow suit.
