@Jim *******

And with this supposed condition, he waits until 3 days before his visa expires.🙄 Why should any responsible immigration agent WANT this person remaining in Thailand? Will become a ward of the state. Staying is a privilege, not a right. This is just contrived clickbate.

@Brian ********

OP, himself, said he was warned this time. The IO didn't just do that for his jollies.

@Brett ****

We know Ashey's type. He doesn't live "up" anywhere. It's all down for him.

@Brett ****

I heard Thailand gets the bottom-of-the-barrel, most vile scum of the expats in Asia, but Ashey Pooh is a whole new level of waste matter. If we distillled some of the more miserable, cliched utterances of failures whiling away their final hours in beer, urine and vomit, with only FB to keep him company, Ashy would be the embodiment of this foul excrement. He won't wake up some morning soon, buried in a pile of cheap beer cans, half-smoked ciggies and all the bags of trash in the street waiting to cleared away. The blunder from down under will be incinerated and rightfully be rendered into Ash. Nobody will notice, care or miss it.

I don't disagree with you that today's expats spend more money in the local economy than backpackers ever did. But they still don't contribute to the tax base(though that supposedly will change) and now that Thailand has seen how much Chinese tourists drop on short stays, they have moved on from dependency on Westerners. Thailand also hoped to move up the food chain in manufacturing, but I sense they might be treading water in that area.

I'm going to steal that. 😄👏

@Robert **********************

He's a buffoon. Also, I'm late to the party, but did he edit his comment several times to try and save face? A buffoon and a maroon.

@Marcels ********

Yep, you beat me to it. Though they shut down on April 1st. Don't know if they'll allow OP to sigh up for now or not.

@Jack ***************

At least he made a somewhat clever turn of your phrase. The other d-bags showing up just can't wait to attack you for daring to voice your opinion. And locals do the same crap with the doors in Vietnam. I don't get it. They complain about rising electric bills like anyone else, but have no compunctions about air-conditioning the outdoors.

@Jacq ****

Another expat loser with mush for brains surfaces in SEA. Surprise, surprise. You don't appreciate a proper shower or bath because you never bathe.
