Artisi Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1 hour ago, newnative said: Total <deleted>. The unrest in Thailand stems from the political system, corruption, and the most unequal wealth distribution in the World. Filling out a TM30 isn't going to solve any of that. Wrong there, TM 30 is going to cure all Thailand's problems - just ask the knobs - believe it is also great on in-grown toe nails and haemorrhoids.

They have them by the litter. Radicalization is quite possibly already festering away. Hate speech posting. But I guess you are merely replicating the attitudes of Thais towards falang that posters on this thread seems to believe are endemic.

IAMHERE Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 They must of waterboarded the last set of terrorist and found out they came here on tourist groups. Probably the mass 'all inclusive prepaid' tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Paul Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Considering that the vast majority of Problems here is caused by THAIS, be that killing people while driving, scamming other Thais, poor buildings ( built by Thais ) Bad food ( made by Thais ) Corrupt THAI officials . How could yopu possibly blame all the tourists, as any sane intelligent Terroist will NEVER if ever follow any law made to track his/her movements, be that at port of arrival or subsequently. So as usual THAI Authorites are clutching at straws and speaking utter clap=trap . But then all my time here I have never heard a logical intelligent utterance from any Thai Government relating to terrorism , I expect they follow the PMs view, Thais do not do this !

I doubt if any tourist would even know what 30 is. The new visa regulations mean that many tourists now get a free visa on arrival instead of paying 2,000 baht or so. I think you are confusing tourists with long term visitors. I won't call them expats as I detest that term except when applied correctly. Others may disagree on this point but I really couldn't give a tinkers cuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavCurtis Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 30 million folks a year is just too many people to keep track of. 5 hours ago, webfact said: Since 2013, when the annual influx of tourists nearly topped 30 million -- mainly due to a meteoric rise in the number of Chinese visitors -- Thai authorities have been struggling to monitor the whereabouts of foreigners, largely because of the shortcomings of the country's traditional, paper-based system for registering entries. How about the gov't makes the immigration police salary a little attractive. There will be a large influx of new recruits to help solve the monitoring problems.

longevity Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yuh. I'm so worried that the gov't is so worried about terrorism I've decided to leave. It's obviously not safe for me or my family (or my money) here anymore. 16 years in and forced out by all these 'security' concerns and accompanying measures. Hopefully our departure will help the gov't to worry less (at least it'll be a dozen less tm30s per year for them to process, several less 90 day reports per year and one less annual visa extension). I expect Vietnam will be safer. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadam Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Quote ....there are concerns that a number of mercenaries and criminal elements from the former Soviet Union have set down roots in Thailand. According to Thai police, they have engaged in money laundering, drug smuggling, weapons trading, human trafficking and other crimes. In 2008, Viktor Bout, a well-known Russian arms trader, was apprehended in Pattaya, causing outrage in Moscow. Bout was subsequently extradited to the U.S. and sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted on charges of conspiracy and terrorism. Since then, Thailand has been cautious about granting visa waivers although it has had considerable success with a bilateral visa waiver program with Japan. What a complete load of rubbish. I hope this article was only published online and that there wasn't any paper wasted on this dribble. So they extradited this guy 11 years ago, probably not because he was committing crime but because the US Feds asked them to, and now they are citing this case as reason to believe Russian Mercenaries are doing business in Thailand. Seriously? And still, 11 years our efforts to stop international terrorism within the kingdom amount to pen and paper TM 30 forms which the government cannot even analyse the data because they are understaffed. No background check or other hurdles before entering the country, just make sure we know where you're staying once you're here, thank you very much.

stereolab Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Thaifriends said: Well I dont know that clever person who wrote this article but mind it that tourist influx has nothing to do with terrorism. Article reflects that 2 nations under discussion for visa free might bring these problems. Its absolute BS. Top tourist destinations does not even have police visible in public. It all has to be monitored by intelligent and efficient intelligence services. Just an example, how many police or paramilitary visible in public in Singapore, Dubai,etc etc ref for Asia as example. Actually on my last stay in Singapore, there were large numbers of police/para-military police both walking the street and in vehicles. Not all carried side-arms, but most did. This was in the Little India area on a Saturday night, perhaps a hot-spot area for troubles. After 8 years here, I have yet to see a Thai policeman do any patrolling.

tomazbodner Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Maybe at visas on arrival, there would now be a nursing station to implant chips? Or if needed for all arrivals, the chipping needles could be added to the biometric reader... put your hand on there to read fingerprints... "*AUCH*! What was that?!"

SuwadeeS Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The pitcher goes to the well until it breaks. Means they Thai overact with their TM30 (like Eastern German "Stasi" method) etc. till no foreign tourists come anymore. But that is what the Thai male goverment wants, because they don't like foreign male. Reason: Most foreign males treat women nicer then Thai male.

I'll up that and propose an hourly check in. It's mandatory the government realize where we are, what we're doing, and with whom we're doing it.

outsider Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hey Thailand, how many terrorists did you catch in, say, the last 10 years, who actually came into your country as a tourist?

Also, I've been able to spot Thai undercover cops hanging out here and there just watching.
