Well, this issue with Thai nationals just started in the past couple of years and that's when Thailand started siding with China more. And these Thai women are not breaking any rules. They are respectable women and they are simply just being looked at and told "nope." The US does not work in such a clean form and fashion. They definitely do some suspicious things depending on politics. You actually think the US system follow the laws 100% themselves? If we can visit Thailand so easily, then the US should allow them to visit our country with ease too.
It's all politics and I read Thailand is beginning to lean more towards Chinese politics than the US. So I can only assume this like punishment to Thai people, even though Thailand still treats Americans well. The US is just immature and dumb like a child who refuses to learn.
My wife is a law-abiding Thai national who has been a nurse for 20 years with the Thai Navy. She was denied for a US tourist visa and they didn't give her a second to explain or ask questions. The US sucks. She never got to meet my Grandmother who just died last week.
Nope. I'm as obedient as they come and was with my thai wife who is a naval nurse. I've never been arrested and always play by the rules. So of course they threaten me while letting countless criminal types in, no problem.
