An “insignificant” letter to Thai Ambassador in Greece
Before commenting and making presumptions about of my own personal experiences in Thai I kindly inquire you if this reportage is not a shame for Thai nationals who pretend “they don't know about fake marriages” in country of smiles and courtesy?
I am not making swooping generalisations about ALL Thai people.
This is a mere record of my own personal experience and my accusations are directed at the tourism industry only.
I have been visiting Thai since 2010 joining some friends who I accidentally had met in Bangkok and afterwards “cover” me in many cases as well as where and how to invest my money that I had previously transfer from European dictatorship of Greece State.
1.During 2010 -2012 the general level of prices were very cheap but afterwards I notice the prices had been skyrocket mainly in food (we ate and drank in a variety of restaurants) nevertheless no matter where we frequented the bills were seldom correct.(although the prices were still cheap for EU “standards”).
I remember that the bills were correct (as advice me my Thai nationals) only in a handful of times although I confronted the staff of individual shops,restaurants about their “poor mathematical ability” because the bill as I have already written you was wrong.
My girlfriends have been previously told me about of “dual prices” in Thailand and deliberate bill mistakes of shops for those who hold EU -US States passports.
(I didn't receive an apology from anyone because I generally hold a low profile man).
There are countless reports about of this issue and in one hand I have loyal poore friends “specific origin” whose I don't want to hurt them and who always protect me and in other hand I want to forget these elements that it have never been taking place).
I repeat this issue does not include all Thai nationals but during my last visit these elements endanger to include the majority of Thai nationals taking a catholic upward route dragging down the image of country with nickname smile and courtesy.
Am I clear?

2.There are countless cases where many fake marriages have been taken place mainly from EU -US -ARABIAN States in order foreigners to be able to run business in Thai as an “easy route” to rise profits and these issue has been caused Thai market to be expensive in some products.
Mainly in casual fashion clothing products in huge Malls where foreigners from specific north E.U States run business (Nordic countries,Swiss nationals,Germans,Dutch (Netherland) ,Australians etc).
Furthermore the prices in real estate market have been skyrocketed because many westerners join Thai nationals in offshore companies at onshore internal market skyrocket the prices…….although Thai real estate tax is STILL very-very low…….!
3.There are many many incidents that have been occurred lately in public view mainly at Suvarnabhumi airport as well as subordinates once in Bangkok second airport Don Mueang mainly with Chinese nationals.
Unfortunately I have experienced since two years ago one of them at Suvarnabhumi airport by the time when I finished my check in at Immigration Check Desk.
I saw two women from France shouted and crying almost in shock and hysteria when two men from Royal Thai Police department of the airport arrest them ……..because they had bought from Doha airport 3 boxes of cigarettes.
I voluntary move to chill out them because Thai police Authorities of the airport were confused although I notice there were many women from Royal Thai Police department as well as many from Royal Thai Tourist Police Authority (brown uniforms) and Immigration Department.
Finally after half an hour at the arrival terminal the Custom Authorities let me to visit them in order to treat them as an E.U fellow although Royal Thai Policeman who previously have heard him to be introduced to France women as an …….F.B.I agent (very big masturbator).
In order to frightened me Royal Thai Police Officers show me in a demonstratively way the cameras at the roof of the office.
(I told them something of his “close” relatives in my native language……..)
Any way France ladies told me that they were in arrest state because they broke Thai Law to import one more box of cigarettes instead of two boxes of cigarettes that Thai law permitted.
I laugh loudly because this is ridiculous àshame for Thai State furthermore when I told at Custom office to hold the above quantity of box of cigarettes and release France ladies they told me nooooo.
If you want to be released you must first pay €400 fine and we will seize the three boxes of cigarettes. (obviously they wanted to hold the three boxes to offer them at their girlfriends and boyfriends).
I made “some calls” to some local friends “specifiç origins” and after a while the two France ladies were released at once.
Although I do not smoke since 15 years ago I should admit that I didn't know this restriction.
Mr Thai Ambassador in Greece and Mr -Mrs Thai Ambassadors among EU States (France State)
I am a loyal friend of “Land of courtesy and smiles” besides of that I would like to have your support in order such incidents in public view in the coming years as well as such behaviour
of …..an F.B.I agent from Royal Thai Police Authorities not to be occured.
You ought to keep a resilient stance for insignificant “crimes” in hard times we all live!
Sincerely
