Thunder26 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) That's right DoctorG. With such news police is wasting their time, if a person lived in a place for 30 years he is automatically assimilated and deserves a citizenship.

ChaiyaTH Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Not that surprising or difficult, loads of them in the country. Just got much more difficult recently only so I am afraid we will hear about it more. Agree with other posters here though, he deserves citizenship. Most likely has been hard working and doing jobs Thais are often too lazy to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yes, 30 years of breaking the law, he deserves to be granted citizenship! He was probably propping up the Thai economy and supporting a village in Issan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because he looked asian, we don't have that advantage. Much harder for us to hide. Everyone now is turning us in and easier to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
