If it is Thai, it looks like โฉม ฝู ฉาย choom[R] fuu[R] chaay[R] It might be a Chinese name rendered in Thai script.
I think you're probably right Meadish, but I think the first one is เฉ็น Chen

I wonder if the same people who obviously think it is their birthright to live in Thailand forever on their own terms are the same ones who constantly bemoan the influx of immigrants to their home countries.
My thoughts exactly.
It is the 'migration' of people across borders without formal immigration proceedings (aka human trafficing) that is irritating people. It is especially irritating when these 'migrants' and their agents are carrying drugs and AK-47s. It is also irritating to see individuals confusing the two terms either out of ignorance or the desire to mask the real situation.
To clear up some misunderstanding of terms.
From Black's Law Dictionary (9th Edition, 2009):
immigration, n. (17c) The act of entering a country with the intention of settling there permanently.
migration. (17c) Movement (of people or animals) from one country or region to another.
human trafficking. The illegal recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of a person, esp. one from another country, with the intent to hold the person captive or exploit the person for labor, services, or body parts. • Human-trafficking offenses include forced prostitution, forced marriages, sweat-shop labor, slavery, and harvesting organs from unwilling donors.
people-smuggling. The crime of helping a person enter a country illegally in return for a fee.

Breath-taking, the number of foreigners who think it is their right to inhabit someone else's country on their terms.
And if you think Thailand's immigration laws are nonsensical and confusing you'll be blown away by the INA of the US. If you think there are good reasons to circumvent Thailand's immigration laws for their lack of logic then you'll be drowning in reasons after trying to understand the US's policies.
