This is no surprise at all. They are cracking down on serial "tourists". It seems they don't like people under 50 bumming about Thailand, and also suspect them of working illegally. Who's next? Any long term farang in Thailand who feels totally secure now is a fool. We are being scapegoated.
Bullshit. Foreigners who are here legally and validly, with legitimate PR status, or work permits, or retirement visas, etc., have nothing to fear. Serial "tourists" have a LOT to fear, and it's bloody well about time.
