They know about visa agents but don't shut them down. AFAIK, these two are still operating.

As it is, it's so easy for foreigners to get long term visas.
The unwanted ones that don't meet requirements can enter illegally by paying an agent to bribe a rogue immigration officer; this opens the gate for many foreign criminals and undesirables.
To stop this, and hence make your legitimate visa process easier, report all agents to the authority.
Jail time for all foreigners(and Thai agents) who bypass immigration scrutiny is the best way to deter them from paying for these illegal extensions and forcing them to be checked like everyone else.

I can continue since you are not satisfied:
How about been treated as a criminal, having to report to the police in two different provinces every time you leave your home (habitat province) for more than 24 hours, how about reporting to immigration officers every 90 days (more than a criminal on parole in my country), how about getting charged double, or up to 10 times the amount of a Thai just because you have white skin (Farang), how about local people regularly speaking bad about you behind your back thinking you don't understand Thai, how about having to produce an annual criminal record from your home country (work permit), even if you haven't lived there for 15 years (you've been living in Thailand!), how about having to produce a medical record annually (for work permit) confirming you don't have 7 different sexual diseases (are Thais (and immigration officials) allowed to live in Thailand with any of these diseases)?, how about being appallingly discriminated on the property market?, how about having to pay exorbitant prices for quality goods from Farang-land because Thailand and Thais are unable to produce quality goods?, how about living in a country where local food, environment and air quality is a direct threat to your health due to mismanagement and an insane level of corruption?
Do you want me to continue?
As I thought, it's not the risk of paying tax that has got your goat.

I'm running. Moving to another SE-Asian country first week of April. This after 15 years living in Thailand, spending approximately 2.1 million Baht a year (about 70% of my foreign income) in this country (multiple BMWs, Ducatis, Hondas, not to mention local girls, restaurants, nightlife, golf!)
After the new tax rules were announced last year I have completely stopped spending money in this country. For golf I now only go to the local navy driving range and pay 20 Baht for a tray of 40 balls instead of thousands to pay courses where Thais get to play for a fraction of the price, not kidding, it's the hidden truth.
There is zero chance I will ever pay the equivalent of 1 Baht tax to a country which gives me zero in return and where the only thing it gives me is a shocking amount of discrimination as a Farang. A month ago I was sent to Malaysia by my company for a 1 week assignment. What a wake up call. The people there (including government officials and police) so genuinly sincere and friendly. Another stratosphere compared to Thailand.
Bye Thailand (I recommend those of you reading this carefully consider if Thailand is still worth it)
Rather over the top. There must be other reasons you are not happy here.
The course I play in Hua Hin only give 100 baht discount to me for being a Thai, hardly going to break the bank,
Btw, I was charged 5,000 baht more than my pal at Royal Melbourne Golf club for being a foreigner.

I don't think that is unearned income. But I do think that's tax evasion because the gift wasn't really a gift because she gave it back to you.
It would make sense to give money from my UK income direct to my kids. No point sending to my bank then giving it to them here. Do you have any details about giving gifts to Thai citizens at university?

I just saw on CNN that the Israeli proposal is an exchange of 40 hostages for 700 prisoners, but there was no mention of a ceasefire or any other conditions. And it was reported that they didn't expect to receive a response from Hamas in a couple of days.
as usual no parity

No, it's not "baiting at all. It's correcting your statements.
For example, above, you say, "...if they were not there, then they would not be harmed..." Yes, and if the IDF were not there, they would not be harmed either. These Palestinians have a right to be there. Gaza is their home. The IDF has no right to be there except, in their mind, they have the right to engage in a revengeful invasion of Gaza, looking for anyone they consider to be Hamas to kill.Well said, that's exactly the situation.

Of course, it doesn't matter where the human shields came from, or who put them there, they should not be killed. Jeez, what's the point of having human shields otherwise. Israel are the only country that I know of, well maybe Syria that have no problem slaughtering innocent kids and women used as shields as they don't believe them to be human.
How can anyone in their right mind say otherwise? The whole world, bar Israel fundamentalists agree that it is wrong.

Situation: The police are chasing a man who has just committed multiple homicides. He breaks into a house, gathers up a family (man, woman, and two kids), and barricades himself in a room with them. The police enter the house and break down the door to the room. The murderer is armed and is in a corner of the room holding the family, who are now bound, in front of him.
Human shields should never be accepted as collateral damage or justified in the pursuit of military objectives.

I agree, and I hope you will also agree it was the IDF that KILLED the "human shields," not Hamas.
Human shields are to stop people with any conscience from attacking. IDF attack... Not caring and actually rejoicing as seen in videos.

My remark was in reference to your post blaming the killing of "human shields" on Hamas. The IDF is the group that is killing them. Hamas did put them there, but so did the Israelis allow the concert near the border with Gaza. I'm not blaming Israel for that, but if you use the same argument as you do about "human shields," you could.
Good point. Not so much human shields but like flies, baiting Hamas.

No need to contact any of the news media. They all know this. It's just some on this topic that think all this began on Oct 7, 2023.
They are clutching at the only straw they have. Sad actually.

Deputy Knesset speaker Nissim Vaturi from the ruling Likud party wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Israelis had one common goal, “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.”
They are on course, thanks to the USA, who vote against ceasefire, provide the IDF with $billions and make the weapons that IDF use to reach their goal.
Not a good time to be an Israeli or Yank. Shame on you.

The priority for Israel now is war.
This war that Hamas started.
And the rest of the world is telling them to stop, including the US, who support them financially and give them bombs. Even the POTUS said they were bombing indiscriminately!!
This will not end well for Israel.

Winning means being free of worrying about further October 7 type attacks for many many years.
Israel's long-term security depends on its ability to engage constructively with Palestine, uphold democratic values, and work towards a just and sustainable peace in the region. Sadly, they are not doing this and just care about getting the land, at any cost.
Do you condone Ethnic cleaning?

What would the UN do if they didn't have Israel to kick around anymore?
What are you on about? Israel benefits from the UN - diplomatic support, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and development cooperation.
The UN address human rights abuses and violations of international law committed by Israeli, more than other countries as erm ..... you know why.
