Five pages and no one has mentioned global warming or climate change. I thought in 20 years we will all be sunning in the South Pole. Hopefully great exchange rates.

I told 2 people wrong only. There is nothing to go for. I asked you about " "genuine" what the heck is a " genuine tourist" who in the world could really define that. Spare me google. A 90 day tourist is more common than you must feel or think. Just read these posts and just meet people in Thailand. It's amazing how many people from 21 to 81 are coming to or wanting to come to Thailand for 90 + days. You can't possibly live in BKK or Phuket or Hua Hin or Samui or several other places and not know this. I have no idea what a genuine tourist is in Naka Nowhere. This wanting to stay somewhere else than your own country for 90 + days as a tourist happens all over the States , Australia, Southern Europe , Central/ South America etc. it's a new world. Why is there even a METV?

" genuine " please discuss...

The hordes are not coming for 90 days.

There are a handful of posters who will never understand that thousands of tourists come to Thailand or want to come to Thailand for 90+ days. You are most welcomed !!

Wrong!!!

WRONG!!!

Right. Exactly like myself and many others. When foreigners are making plans for a 60 or more day trip they make plans right now , last week or before or in the next coming weeks. They also spend a lot of money no matter what some may say on here. Do they even know what a " snowbird " is?? There should seriously be a snowbird visa 180 days once a year. Maybe $200-250Usd. Oh, and NO tell us where you are staying for 180 days BS. Lol

"Any final decision on extending visa arrival times will need to be endorsed by the incoming tourism and sports minister and be gazetted, which can take up to 90 days." Quoted from article. So around Dec 1 it could be done!! High season has started and people don't buy / plan a trip to Thailand a couple weeks before going. They make plans NOW for high season. I hope this isn't typical stupid backwards thinking.

In the past they offered free 60 day tourist visas and even free double and triple entry tourist visas. This is better because it seems to be visa exempt. People will certainly come longer and spend a lot more so hopefully this outweighs the extension fee.

I think you are exactly right. This in NOT a visa. Now my only thought is could we leave a for a day or week or two and come back after the 90 days with one more 90 day visa exempt? Or would it be 30 + 30 ( for 5/6 month snowbirds like myself)

What is the difference between number 3 and 4? Can you send the same copy of accommodation twice?

I DID!!!!!!!! You mentioned a guy on farcebook so maybe you knew one on YouTube yourself! Now do you get my simple response to you.

No one who checks your info for a METV or Tourist visa would actually check if your onward ticket after 60 days is valid. How does one even talk to a human at air Asia or a host of other airlines even if you process the ticket yourself and need help or something??? So I am the person who "came along and said this" This by the ways is not an " attitude" it's a simple fact. Also there IS a need to pay for an onward ticket because it's a rule.

Do you have any link or suggestion that is not farcebook related?

I have zero comments about Fox. Why the deflection?

There's a lot of lying on CNN. Even their last couple years of covering up their own staff and higher ups crimes and convictions is newsworthy everywhere else but CNN. Quite a bunch of losers over there pointing fingers at anyone else but themselves daily.

And you get two " likes " for this Iron man urban myth story?? This guy has SEEN ( meaning more than once or twice ) people die right in front of his eyes by having a cup of coffee after a workout? LMAO! How many people have died after drinking water or eating a salad after a workout?

Can you go back and see where you did this????????? To a portion of my comment? Now look at what you texted above^^ They have nothing in common.

Spare us the ?? Even CNN has covered this topic. Next....

If that little comment makes one a misogynist you must be surrounded by them. Must feel horrible.

Poster child for the elite privileged. Such a loser. But he may be scarred by his father never talking to him about any of his business dealings. Wow this thread is soo quiet.

Maybe your days of insisting on a link for everything are dwindling. If this is your response, why bother! Spelling out forum " rules " that are misinterpreted daily really won't aid you much longer as well. Cheers.

Your list is so funny. Are you from Australia or Canada??

Perhaps the family knows nothing about it and came to aid their son.
