The news will come as music to the ears of expats and retirees though it remains to be seen exactly what will change, notes Thaivisa.

The BBC Thai said that moves are underway to adapt TM 30 regulations to bring them more in line with conditions in Thailand forty years after they were brought in.

Lt-Gen Sompong has reportedly told the BBC in a phone conversation that he is aware of the problems after a storm of online criticism of the regulations.

These relate to foreigners like expats and retirees having to report their whereabouts if they leave their home address for 24 hours or more. What role landlords should play has also created many problems.

For tourists this is normally not a problem as the reporting is usually done by hotels and guest houses.

Kontoer må selvfølgelig stenges og evt innhold beslaglegges. Pass, pairer og evt sertifikater må også legges hånd på. De må uansett lages og taes på nytt.
Jeg simpelthen elsker dette landet. Hvorfor har vi ikke dette i Norge?
