No it wasn't for an extension. The local office at Kap Cheong decided that every farang on their books had to have a home visit irrespective of marriage or retirement. They claimed that too many farang were not actually living at the abode they claimed to live. And they wanted to stop this practice.
All we got was a phone call prior to the visit saying they would be coming, but couldn't specify a time. They basically did numerous visits to farangs within the area and their modus operandi was the same for all the farangs that I know who got a visit.
The stupid thing about the visits was that they visited all that were on their books but the ones who weren't never got a visit. The ones they wanted to catch.
No point complaining to the top guy at immigration as he was the one who ordered it.:confused:
Edit: I did a thread on it TheGent
Is that what American women do? Thai women cut their husbands dicks off at an alarming rate, no hiding in the closet for them.Quote:

Some guys are crazy and will fight anyone, they just love the violence and the adrenalin rush. Others for whatever inadequacy they have and others that are just opportunists, will prey on whoever they think are weaker. women in the main are not known for their fighting prowess and are easy targets. There have always been bullys and cowards and unfortunately IMHO, thus it will always be so.
In many male societies "manliness" is equated with how well you can fight. It starts in establishing ones place in the pecking order at school and can often carry on through life with some. Then of course to add fuel to aggression, the ever presence of Alcohol.
all this despite 2K years of Christian teaching...disappointing...Quote:

Bunch of cowards!
^:rofl:...
Yes, because I couldn't live with myself walking on by while a woman is being beaten by a man. It'd play on my mind and I'd feel like a fucking coward for not intervening.
I'm not a "hard man" by any measure, but afaic men who beat women are utter fucking scum and generally weak cowards, so I'd intervene and hope I didn't get my head kicked in...
I've done it before, taken a few blows for it and got hurt for little appreciation, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I might be able to help...Quote:

In the context of SE Asia:
I'd like to think I would still intervene, but it would depend on the context...If I thought an intervention may present a mortal danger to myself I'd obviously have to walk on by. Though, I'd feel really fucking bad about it, and feel like an utter fucking coward for days after...
SE Asian men on their own turf are a dangerous proposition - as an outsider you just don't know their back up and support in the local area.
Even though you may be doing the right thing by intervening and protecting a woman, if the guy has power/influence/cronies in the vicinity you're getting a beatdown regardless...
