Looks like it would be a good idea to have your paperwork in order if you are working or planning on working in Thailand:

No problem. Most people DO have their paperwork in order - as the story indicates. Those who didn't in the story were in process, and as noted - will be back at work TOMORROW.

SCARE stories are written increase readership - and that's all they do. That's what that story was. That's what it did.

Then there is this that seems to indicate one person's "no problem" is another person's problem:

Although to be fair a lot of people do take pleasure in posting nonsensical stories that don't have much basis in reality.

I saw the exact same thing when the Visa agents were in trouble (horror stories that were unsubstantiated and quite often utter BS)....a few months later business as usual.

I'm surprised people take pleasure in scaring/worrying others when there's not a great deal to worry about (probably got more chance of accidentally falling of a balcony in Pattaya with a plastic bag over your head and your hands handcuffed behind your back).
