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.

Don't worry, I think its only aimed at lady boys to stop male IOs getting aroused too often.

You've got to be "smart" to ride the wave of ever changing onerous rule changes.

Eh .! Whatever next .. A requirement to rent those big baggy pantaloon stride things like they have in the temples on the door at the Immo' office for the time you're in there ..

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.
