Of course is it my responsibility, I actually meant that airline staff should check as well and let you not board, b4 you end up beeing denied by an IO

You are correct.

IF the passport HAS expired they should not let you board the aircraft.

But, if it has 5 more months to go???

 These immigration officer interrogations are just very misplaced power tripping.

 

 

 

 

 

TSA here acts like that. It's the policy that comes from above that allows these types to flourish. This is all by design. We are entering a dark time. If you think things are bad now, if 5G gets rolled out in earnest in places like Thailand, it's game over.

 

5G can already be there, covertly. That is how it was rolled out in these England cities where people are being genocided. Yes, you read that right.

This all stems from cultural differences. Most Thai people simply do not comprehend the concept of savings themselves, they spend every penny they earn in a given month and then demand that their children feed/support them like adult babies for the rest of their lives.

 

Consider this, a low IQ/low-empathy immigration officer looks at a passport and sees a foreigner without a work permit staying in Thailand for more than 1 year on tourist/ED visa? They think, wow how does this person buy room/food/misc every month? They must be working, probably doing illegal tutoring online or something! Let's put him in jail! 

 

The economies of the world today are very wealthy now compared to 20 years ago, producing a lot of engineers and children of somewhat rich families (trust fund kids) who can afford to stay in Thailand without working(anywhere, including online) for years. Thailand is still be behind by a wide margin to the west though, but they too have grown as well, but not enough to culturally understand "gap-year" money or trust funds. So consider the fact that an engineer who works for a company that sells Nuclear powered submarines to the most powerful entities on earth probably has earned enough "gap-year" money to afford himself or his children the ability to easily live in without work/abroad for years, let alone be able to afford living in a rice-selling based area. These immigration officer interrogations are just very misplaced power tripping.

 

 

 

 

 

Your comments sure does show a high level of "low IQ/low-empathy" - but not of the Thais.
