Sorry for my English (not my native language). If someone else calls the emergency services it is free of charge, but if you call yourself you have to pay. Is that Thai logic? I assume that when the emergency services are called it is always urgent. I read this topic with interest. And I have a question myself Suppose your partner dies at home , in European countries, you call a doctor who determines the death. You can also call a MUG (medical emergency team) and there is always a doctor with the MUG. If you call the Thai emergency number there is never a doctor, there are only two hospitals ( in Chiang Mai) that you can call that will send the emergency services with a doctor. My question is simple: who do you call directly for a doctor who can diagnose the death? Perhaps some will say call the police first in Thailand, but the police services cannot draw up their report without a death certificate drawn up by a doctor

Everyone is equal before the law, but the law is not equal for everyone

The 3 stages in politics: promise, don't do, explain that there are more important issues at hand.

There are people who don't know what they are doing but completely believe in it

Injustice never lies in inequality of rights, it lies in the claim to 'equal' rights

@ Bigt3116 where have you read that ( if possible, please provide the link) the money deposit most stand on a instant acces account all the information I have found is ' the money must stand on a thai bank account. There was never talk about a fixed or instant account I read : 5.2 In the case of having money in the bank account (Fix/ Saving Deposit) of any bank located in Thailand – Letter from the bank certified the account in the bank of not less than 400,000 baht – Copy of bank book showing money in the account of not less than 400,000 baht which has been deposit and already held of such amount for the past 2 months until the date of application submissio @Shop Mak we not have immigration offices ( we have many refugees but thats another subject ) You are right after 15 years I still understand the Thai logic. I know this is on me and after more than 40 years working for the justice system, it disturbs me

To be clear, I myself have no problem, but this does not mean that I would not have knowledge of the existing difficulties. Additionally to find out where I can go, should I ever have problems myself (which I do not hope for of course) As noted by some, which I agree with, that the necessary documents are not in order when for example, a residence permit is granted or the financial requirements are not met. However, there are also other situations. A few examples: One comes back after a trip abroad on a Thursday and it turns out it's a long weekend. Normally it says somewhere that one has to register with immigration inside the 24 hours However, now the office will not open until days later. These people were fined and according to many, unjustified. To give another example, a bank has an offer and since one must have a certain amount in the bank, someone places a certain sum in a savings account with the intention of getting as much % interest if he leaves the money x amount of time. When his residence permit is extended, the man goes with all his documents, including a document from the bank saying that this person has this amount of money in his savings account. At immigration, the officer did not agree because there was no movement on the bank book. Of course there can be no movement because if he withdraws money, he breaks his contract and depositing money did not go according to the bank's contact either. In both cases you are stuck and as already mentioned by many you have nowhere to go. I find it very astonishing that so far not a single person has noticed or even questioned where I can go in such case, and the answers show that you can't go anywhere in case of problems for the simple reason that it doesn't exist. And some have suggested one would have the guts, even if one is completely in right, one still depends on and I quote Pol Maj Gen S. Hakparn corrupt officials. So far the paradise Thailand English is not my native language so I apologize for the grammar

One may consult a search engine or available Thailand forums and find nothing from a “falang” who for one reason or another has lodged a complaint. This surprises me for several reasons: a. According to immigration statistics, thousands of foreign nationals reside in Thailand and made it seem that no one would ever have had a dispute with the immigration service for decades. b. If I don't just look at forums but at social media you are overwhelmed by negative comments, in other words it means that people only write down with te computer their frustration or problems and that's it c. My personal opinion : If you buy and pay for something and you determine that it is not in order, you will also seek to adress this. So, why not at a government agency? If you receive your annual tax and and there seems to be a problem, you take action or not? I understand that there are laws for everyone but apparently not everyone is equal before the law d. Is there a place or office for complaints or does that not exist?

Laws and regulations are established by the main office. It is well known that every office differs and applies its own rules. If one reads the guidelines and requirements for, for example, a year extension, the officer may request additional documents. However, if one deviates or sets requirements that go against the general guideline or laws, can the person concerned file a complaint? If so where can one go to file a complaint? To date I have not read a single post from a farang making such a complaint for any reason.

All bad precedents started as justifiable measures

I have an O-A type visa and like everyone else, I would need 800,000 baht for an annual extension proof and also need to have proof of medical insurance. A holder of a type O visa only needs half of this for an annual extension amount and does not need to have insurance. This is against my principles why one requires proof and the other must not show anything. For that reason, I am doing a year extension based on marriage with my O-A visa. I do not have to prove that I have insurance and I now make use of an affidavit. I do not have to give any more bank book statements or proof from the bank.

If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly.
