I may have spoken too soon, thanks tiger. Am under the impression that some nationalities (US anyway) can now extend a 1-month visa-free entry by another month on the payment of 1900 Thai baht without leaving the country. But I think the best way to find out is to go to the Thai consulate and ask them.

Anybody interested in the Lisu in Myanmar might like to take a look at Gertrude Morse's book, "The Dogs Bark but the Caravan Moves On"; and Eugene Morse's "Exodus to a Hidden Valley" - explains how the Lisu got there. Written by 2 members of an amazing Protestant missionary family.

Agree with michael: goal is fine, but measures proposed probably unenforceable. Not sure I could propose a better method, but methods that don't work simply makes the problem worse - cultural attitudes don't change according to somebody's policy, and if coercion is necessary, it's got to be effective and not just breed contempt for the enforcer.. .
