I remember meeting so many nice folks just after the Tsunsmi in Bangkok giving blood at the Red Cross. I was in Phuket 6 days earlier.

In a FIRST trip where probably 90% of posters were able to do before the internet was even popular? I'd say google should be his friend and even to find this forum he already had used it. Most on here seem to never leave their village. Anyways Pattaya in mid April experiences an awesome wet season. Spend 10 days there!

To arrive in Thailand? My guess is you are 99% wrong!

Cherry picked articles come to mind. There are so many nice foreign folks doing some great things here in Thailand. I think those stories would still get some good clicks here.

The BACC is the best free thing to do in Bangkok. Great open multi level space with changing exhibitions as well.

Drugs are rampant in Malaysia. Do you know any 20 or 30 somethings there? People buying one e tablet for 1000 baht should be arrested for stupidity.

Oh so he even posts on here in your mind.

It would not have been a problem. You should have entered just before METV expired. Super easy then to use the full 60 days AND even extend that 30 days. Also as mentioned why on earth the first time they asked you why were you here so long you should have politely said for more traveling while SHOWING them the copy of your return home in less than 30 days. They should NOT have asked YOU that. I bet you have a stubborn streak in you.

Get global entry. I walk up to machine and put in passport and finger prints get my piece of paper with my pic taken on it hand it to a guy about 5 meters away and collect my bags. Have done it more than a dozen times. I've gotten a " welcome home " from the guy in Boston a few times but not in NYC 😂

I hope you don't think I meant the Taxi driver!!! I meant the passengers.

Not sure why they would need Germany as a sample. Far better REAL results in many states in USA already. Even if you take one very small state like Massachusetts they had 1.56 Billion $$ in recreational sales in 2023 another $200+ million in medical sales. It's taxed and the state and each town get tons of $$ for all sorts of programs. My town gets new snow plows, police cars, donations to schools, veterans and people in the town down on their luck and some affordable housing donated from the dispensary as well. I don't think you can find a better model than Massachusetts. Prices are way down for the consumer as well. Extremely rare to ever smell marijuana smoke in or near a dispensary here.

What they don't address is their darling " children " access METH far easier and less expensive to get. They seem to be blind to this. Also why on earth would they implement this during the absolute height of high season? It's not just westerners buying in these dispensaries, I hear Malay, Chinese and Korean spoken all the time.

They would certainly use their GPS on phone and know the correct way to get from airport to anywhere.

Go to Fitness First weight training 3x a week. Walk on average of 8K steps a day. Swim about 25 laps in 20 meter pool 2/3 times a week. Occasional bike ride.

What does that have anything to do with the very short OP's question??? Also there is not a Thailand consulate in Singapore. There is an embassy.

Still a good time if you missed the last high. Definitely 100k + by the New Year.

Just came back from Vietnam same experience entering Danang and exiting Saigon. Very quick and soo many tourists are going now and just about everyone I spoke to was " skipping Thailand" the Vietnamese are getting more proficient in English , the large entertainment areas and just everywhere in general are quite clean. You can actually find garbage cans too! I saw almost no homeless people. The locals just seem to REALLY want tourists and prices are just fantastic for hotels , food , beer and touring around. I can't wait to go back next year.

Here's one more line: I lived and worked in Japan for 2 years Tokyo and Sapporo.

What desert is near New York?

If you sit down and there is a menu in your hand you tip

Beers are not cheaper in Japan. That is just a crazy comment based on probably one place you went to. Also comparing Japan to Thailand as you have about four times on this thread is like comparing apples and kangaroos.

It's fun to keep changing hotels? You check out at 12. Check in next place 3 and sometimes later!

Not quite understanding your post. Never book more than one night?? Many hotels are full your second night and most when almost full charge much more for a last minute booking. Not booking ahead may have worked for you but it's hard to believe it's never back fired. Maybe at 1000 baht a night places.

@Bangkok Barry also must have TDS from his post above as well. Why does this forum allow such off topic comments??

I'm booking two flights now the week of March 11th $32 one way Phuket to BKK. Who needs Thai air. Those flights were Air Asia. The flight TO Phuket booked last week about $40.
