ukrules Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 There is a simple solution to this problem - don't come to Thailand with all your friends and family and money / hotel bookings. Get married in some other country that appreciates your business and don't forget to tell all your friends about how badly you were treated by the Thais.

About an hour of various poses and some amusing pics of the bride trying to jump into the air. Finally they left and we thought we had some peace and quiet. About an hour later the same photographer was back with another couple for some sunset pics. Not sure if it’s the same outfit but my guess is they’ve been the source of complaints until the police finally took action. this has been gong on for over a year< when they cleared all the illegal chairs,massage places on Kamala beach end of last high season, i asked one of the army guys ( 3 stars, spoke good English) why the wedding photographers were working everyday? he said MONEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipButty Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Last year we had a Chinese family stay with us, unknown to us she was a famous Chinese singer and she was asking to maybe come back and do a photo shoot for her latest album cover, I never knew to tell her if she brought over her own photographers they needed a W/P, Ill know next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are illegal Asian aliens that are guilty of all the crime and stealing all the low-paid jobs from the hard-working Thais. Or drug dealers from the dark continent of course. Foreigner and farang are not the same. Chinese are foreigners in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene1960 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Because they could be Chinese and not foreign. Plus the crime is working while being foreign, not working while being Chinese.True. Last month a Russian photographer and her boyfriend were sent back home. A local Thai agency reported her as soon as she went to Boat lagoon.

After 15 years in Thailand I visited my home country last year and I did a bit of 'work' out of a family members garage and i remember at the time I looked down the driveway thinking I hope no one will spot me doing this... ..but then of course I thought what the f***!, Im in my home country I can do anything I like! Im a free man again, a first class citizen! After many years the 'system' can brainwash you. Frightening eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the Japanese and you can now overflow all the prisons in the country. I think you inadvertently get to the root problem. When you (the gov) have a lot of overly-broad laws that are difficult to enforce, you can hold back and only enforce them selectively when you are pissed at someone or when it is politically expedient for one reason or another.

Number 6 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 While I respect the rights of Thailand to protect such jobs. If the answer is - have the wedding and shoot in China. What has been gained? Perhaps in need of Chinese speaking photographers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
