@Ruth ******

completely agree with you, but what makes them think this is how it is? Again we return to the stereotypes.

Blame the thais brother for this outlook for foreigners. They must look within to remove these stereotypes.

End of the day I can count more friends and people I have met that have had a bad experience with Thai women and the constant milking for money, sick family( grand ma is the common one) buffalo always gets them good also. Then I can count who have a successful long term relationship where they are not looked at as atms.

They do not come to our country and we do this to them. End of brother. Yes some are abit over the top and crude but it's just the vast reality of Thailand.

the arrogance doesn't allow them to realise this.

@Jim *******

it's all of the western countries brother :( we are regressing while the emerging countries are getting better.

@Eddie *****

makes no sense.

@Pat ******

I barely showed any financial ties.

Just asked for 3 months and they gave 12 months multi entry.

I think they are biased based on who you are and your financial level in aus. Didn't seem like any issues getting mine compared to friends in the UK and USA.

@Pat ******

apply for less time, I have gotten aus tourist visas approved multiple times. Never ask for 12 month visa. Ask for less and they'll give more.

@Paddy *********

get out of the UK, they will allow them speaking not a single word of English off the boat but deny citizens partners from a quick trip.

lol London and the UK is a failed society and complete shit hole, who would want to stay there. They should be happy she wants to be a tourist and spend money. She will be dreaming to go home.

Arrogant country.

No. It doesn't work this way, it's not black and white.

They can still pull you up and do serious questioning, this will almost always = missing your flight.
