and I have been back-and-forth with a couple of know-it-all, beat-the-system types, concerning WPs and what is, and is NOT Thai law.
If you subscribe to the school of thought that says "If I have gotten away with it (whatever "it" is) thus far, regardless of legality, then my experience should be the basis for offering advice", look out. Thai visa advice offers people advice rooted in fact, and working within the framework of Thai law, based on the experience and knowledge of guys who have lived here for years. Thanks!
