Some heard it from Thai travel agents, others read it in magazines or their Lonely Planet. Some may even have researched the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, which didn't specifically rule it out until recently.
Personally, I heard it from the mouth of a Patong Immigration official earlier this year.
No one was ever told that it was against Thai law until now.
Have a little sympathy for the people who took the authorities at their word, and invested a chunk of their lives here.
