You have all these i quoted in bold and yet 16 years later you still don't have thai citizenship? You fly by night for the past 10 over years ah?
When I was working for MNC 8 years ago, 2 years working I was offered thai citizenship. Why? I ask the govt official chun boh, when I have not even been there for 5 years. He said not all cases need 5 years. Special arrangement can be made to assess my application. My bank account, my income, amount of money I going to bring in and invest. And he smile at me.
I smile and say I consider. He even told me its not easy to get, and some people give them 10-15 years they still wouldn't get it.
Money mah. I agree, Thai people smile but same as everywhere. For a reason. If i dress like a beggar, no one will even bother to smile at me. No money can get citizenship. They tell you 'wait long long'.
There are many other countries out there much better than Thailand and Singapore. Just that some only travelled to Thailand and feel Thailand is the best. Well, to each their own in their own thinking.![]()
They offered you thai citizen cuz your face look like $$$ sign to them.
By law, it cannot be done. You need to go through the actual thai PR process , 5 yrs later then thai citizenship.
Till you actually done it and get the thai citizenship by your ' thai friend method' then you come here to boast & tell us about it.
Why not !! I now prefer thai somtom than SG roja.
Really !!! No joking !!!
What wrong in staying in thai kampong ???
Will it make you any lower class than the rest ?
Maybe you not only need to change your SG kind of mindset but your SG taste too before you come thailand.![]()
Oh no, you are assuming a lot of things and puttin them into my words. I did not say staying in thai kampong is wrong, neither did i say it makes people lower class.
Cross referencing on your post on beautiful, quiet lifestyle, I suggested baan nok, you start to insinuate I am mocking at people who stay kampong.
Is this your way of arguing to make people empathise with your words? If there is any part I suggested so, please quote the source.![]()
It can be done. Just a matter of how much, and the connections you know. One of my colleague did it because he wants to be a thai citizen.
By law of course it cannot be done. But this is a country where if you spend a bit of money, things can be shorten and things can be done.
I didn't take up the offer because I am not keen to be a thai citizen. Go other countries still have to apply for VISA if using thai passport.![]()
I believe you should know abits of thai langauge since you've been working here in thailand for a while.
It VERY rude to say to a thai or any person in thailand that he came /live in Baan Nok. Bann Nok in thai means : This person came from mountain side, know nothing /sua kua in hokkien. You should use ' tan jia wat' (countryside) phase instead.
Maybe you're just been igornance or acts 'blur'
Don't believe me, try telling this 'Bann Nok' to a group of thai workers in SG.
This show how little you know about thai way of speaking & their cultures.
Don't try to act smart when in facts you know so little.![]()

I didn't know Thailand has started to open their doors to foreigners as they have never done that. And Sam is right. Thailand is an undeveloped country changing govt more often and now Prime Ministers more often than LKY changes his underwear.
TS should consider other Asia countries instead.
There you see again, what is so shameful with staying in Baan Nok?
Baan nok is those kampung houses, so is staying in baan nok considered shameful to you?
Anyway, my posting earlier is quoted below here.
If you read carefully, I said you "can try" staying in baan nok. I never said khun mah jak baan nok.(You come from Kampung) This is 2 different interpretation.
Can try staying in Baan Nok vs
You come from Baan Nok
The first one is not offensive, the latter is. You seem to insinuate my message is trying to say You come from Kampung which is exactly not the case.
Don't anyhow twist and turn meanings.
There is a story. A chicken egg was left in a duck farm and when the chick came out from the egg, all he saw was ducks. As he grew up, he start to think he is a duck. He start to quack, he start to swim, but he can't. Because no matter what he is a Chicken. Grew up with ducks doesn't make him a duck.
Stay with Thai people, doesn't make a Singaporean become a pure Thai.
take my advise, stay away from thailand.
Should be "Take my ADVICE..".
"Advise" is a verb.
No need to find excuses for yourself.
Haha!! I wrote advice at first and later change to advise .
Always got these two words mix up.
The 'c' & the 's'.
Thanks for reminding.:p
Good !! You're smiling.
Keep it up.![]()
That's if you know what I am smiling at. :p
Irony Irony Irony.:o
