More tip of the iceberg stuff, the number of overstayers in Thailand is huge.

Bang tao is a nice area and expensive. I expect they were not impoverished people.

Being exposed to the idiotic arrogance associated with the newly elected Thai government,  I will never again criticize the military coups which seem systematic in Thailand.

What idiotic arrogance are you referring to?

The Home Office in my native UK could learn a trick or two from Thai Immigration about dealing with illegals and overstayer's .

What does that have to do with the removal of migrants on overstay?  BangTao is not for poor people. It has some of the nicer resorts, condo complexes and golf clubs. Laguna is for those with money to spend. Dreadfully boring for under 40 year olds, but a wonderful place to stay for the older crowd.  Without knowing who these people were and what they were doing, it is unreasonable to accuse the  government of  idiotic arrogance for the enforcement of  a law that has been in existence  and enforced during the previous military regimes.  It is very simple for someone who wants to stay in Thailand: Obtain the appropriate visa. Thailand has no legal or moral obligation to host Russians or Indians.

The USA could learn a lot from Thailand about immigration, we are being overwhelmed with illegals since slow Joe Biden became President. Hopefully, President Trump will be back in office soon and save the world!
