i stand corrected ... however I was refused boarding because I seem to be banned from Thailand and I have no idea why ... no paperwork ... nothing ... when asked for a reason Immigration refuses to give a reason ... so ... I don't know why I am in this mess ... no one wants to tell me what to do ... Immigration in Bangkok told me to go to their offices and I can never get there ...

In every other country in the world the procedures are simple : a translated copy of your degrees are sufficient if they have been "ratified" by your embassy ... when people want to teach in Thailand they give up ... far too bureaucratic ... far too costly ... that is why English education is weak ... teachers who would and want to teach just give up after a few rounds of Thai bureaucracy ... sometimes I think they want to keep Thailand uneducated ...

The power of the Immigration Division is apparently greater than that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand and I wonder with all these stories popping up ... I wonder if there ever will be tourism to Thailand possible ....

Sadly the Immigration Police and Department are mentally stuck in a world with 5,000,000 visitors a month ...

Prayer to the Lord Buddha

My Lord

I ask for too much

when I pray that people

not lie ... not steal ...

not kill ... not rape

My Lord

I ask for too much

when I pray that people

who lie ... who steal ...

who kill ... who rape ...

My Lord

that they may feel lighter

that they may be happy

that they may feel free

My Lord

Because maybe for all of us

The meek and the weak

The innocent and the sweet

The eternal children

Because maybe for one hour

for one breath

we may love without fear ....
