Rimmer 10,914 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Immigration encourages smartness PATTAYA:--Chonburi Immigration is requesting customers to dress appropriately for a visit to a government office. The sign has been placed outside the main entrance at the Jomtien headquarters. They are not turning away men with shorts. It’s a request rather than a new regulation. But people in swimwear or trunks or women showing a lot of body or legs – as ever – will be told to cover up. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-06-30— Link to post Share on other sites

NCC1701A 54,037 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Everyone laughs at me but I have been saying this for years. I ALWAYS dress like I am going to a very important business meeting when I go to immigration or the bank or any Thai government location. And it does make a very big difference. Dressing like a slob sends a message that you are disrespecting the Thai people. Incredible that I still see farangs wearing shorts and tee shirts to immigration and especially to the bank to open accounts. Link to post Share on other sites
