  1. Getting a visa does not guarantee entry. I don't think embassies have access to that information.
  2. Outside a liquor store in Area 39 is not the same as a liquor store outside Area 39, is it?
  3. Being granted a visa does not give right of entry. Immigration decides at port of entry. Embassies are not linked to immigration. As I said before, I asked this question here a while back for a friend. I consulted 2 lawyers here, a Thai one and a German one. Both confirmed there was no way to reliably find out prior to arrival. The land crossing seemed the simplest test. Fly to, eg Phnom Penh, and choose a quiet border checkpoint. If he gets in, do what he needs to do ASAP and leave. He could still be busted for illegal entry. My 2¢ worth. YMMV.
  4. In my experience, no. I also have a friend who did time here and wanted to know whether he could come back. A lawyer for a fee will tell you what you want to hear. Not necessarily the truth. And it was a lawyer who told me that. Immigration won't tell you. Nobody will. I also asked here. Nobody knows the answer. So, your friend can try turning up at a border crossing and see what happens. At least he won't be put on a plane back. Seems the only way to find out. Minimal damage if he's barred.
  5. So he's guilty? A bit premature, surely? Somebody accuses you of a crime and you're immediately guilty, right? No doubt that effect is the intention here.
  6. And what the heck is the "Tracing and News Investigation Center"? Some kind of private vigilante group for outing foreigners?
  7. Oh, so one corrupt woman equals 5,000 corrupt men? Yeah, you're probably right.
  8. Here's another write up of the same figures. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/11/fear-of-china-russia-and-iran-is-driving-weapons-sales-report?fbclid=IwAR1Jv0KHt1fQCCFIaK3oSOHIkOiGyDNnxMxa8kuhkkrv6kqMF4Fdtf6v3Bo Europe is arming itself, as the perception is, and not surprisingly, Russia, or Putin rather, can't be trusted. The quality of Russian armaments is low. India has stopped buying them. China is a very minor exporter. It's an interesting article.
  9. Unnamed journalists allegedly apparently possibly maybe found to be working without a brain. Said allegedly unnamed spokesperson "Brainless reporting is a reserved occupation particularly in tourist areas such as Phuket and Pattaya." All allegations have been denied, allegedly.
  10. The police fired a warning shot into the air and the bullet unfortunately landed on the suspect's head. Next!
