Best case scenario most Thai people do not care about foreigners. So the ones that are left bring in some money, but they do not care much about that also as it is abstract. Off course people in tourism jobs like us, but others love to see us go.
You may counter that with logic, but Covid made very clear that many people are not impressed by that.
Some bus companies did not allow foreigners, temples refused entry to foreigners, sports contests refused foreigners. All very low risk people as they were here already pre-Covid, no logic.
I am saying it like all Thai people are like this, but it is just to show what I think is the general feeling.
Just post the link to the post that is against the rules if you want to show him the double standard. You can also report messages, nobody can read everything.
I am not saying you do not know the border bounce process, I was trying to explain why Immigration was not interested in you when you showed up every 3 months.
Immigration was not interested in you reporting every three months, as they had no problem with you. You were here legal, on amnesty. They had no reason to do anything else. Reporting to immigration does not replace your border bounce every three months.
Probably it is impossible to inform everybody of a new law, so it gets published somewhere. Banks should inform their customers. Not sure if they did not do it, my Thai is not exceptional. :-)
