What if you where in Phuket or Chiang Mai, do they have a Immigration Bureau too?

Yes there are immigration centres all over the country.

Actually no. They are very anal about it, if you're caught you'll be deported. People have been stopped from karaoke because it's classed as work.
If you don't tell anyone though you'll probably be fine. I'm pretty sure DWB doesn't have a WP.

Porn is illegal. Possession and creation. If you get caught doing either you can be imprisoned in every country you mention.

I know there are a load of webmasters on GFY who are located in Thailand these days  |
The situation hasn't changed. However it's not all doom and gloom.
In 2015 Thailand is going to form a economic union with neighbouring south east asian countries. It's going to be good for content shooters when cheap Cambo whores pour over the border and can't speak Thai to report you to the cops.
