The delays were apparently on the Departure side. This led to long exit queues extending beyond the designated areas, as seen in widely shared images on social media. Some steps in outbound passenger checks were reduced to speed up processing while maintaining security oversight. Here's where my BS meter goes off, though they may be telling the truth that it wasn't 200 baht: Authorities stressed that there was no truth to reports of a 200-baht fee being charged for access to special lanes. IB2 reaffirmed that all officers operate strictly within legal and regulatory frameworks and urged the public to report any suspected misconduct. I'd bet that it was more than 200 baht.

Looks like the fatigue has come to Pattaya. I still wonder if TAT doesn't recruit street performers to entertain the tourists.

Have you nothing to do in or around the house? Not so strangely, my employer took a dim view of people who didn't show up at the office. I even tried having Lazada deliver to the office, but that was an inconvenience, too... Getting pulled out of meetings by the receptionist to take a delivery. After a few successful deliveries, I started paying in advance and never had a problem in hundreds of deliveries. Even if they claimed to deliver before they actually did, I always got the package within a day or so.

That's true. Maybe true. But who wants to sit at home all day waiting for a COD? Regarding the OP's predicament, that happened to me a few times in several hundred Lazada orders and they were all delivered in the next day or so. I suspect the drivers get in trouble if they don't claim to deliver on time. But that's just a guess.

As much criticism as Walz deserves, (and as fun as it is to watch him squirm), this increase is also happening all over the country (Just saw a YouTube from PA) as the Uniparty are buying votes by giving our tax money away. It's a total failure to protect taxpayer money.

This must be good work, if you can find it. Maybe it's Somali immigrants doing the jobs Americans won't do... The scariest thing is that the numbers would have kept on skyrocketing had Harris/Walz won in 2024.

Just saw a YouTube from an expat legal firm about a proposed program to offer 2K baht a day to stranded tourists, along with waivers of visa requirements (a'la Covid). I don't claim any knowledge, and I'm not sure commercial links are welcome, but worth a look-see... "2,000 Baht a Person Per Day for Stranded Tourists" in Thailand?

At some pain level, he'll probably just decide to go someplace else to spend his sweaty tourist money. Between oil price and reduced flights, Thailand may take this one in the shorts.

Not so easy to find nowadays with Russkie airspace also closed to most European flights. Pull out your globe (not a flat map) and try to stretch a string between Germany and Thailand without crossing the Middle East or Russkie airspace.

What about his (probably prepaid) hotel bookings? I'd typically lose more there than on the airfare. And the airlines aren't obligated to do squat about that.

Meanwhile, Iranians around the world are weighing in. Y.M.C.A, It's fun to stay at the YMCA...

So what you're saying is that those on the right don't brag about and celebrate ignorance...

Seriously? Then you haven't been paying attention to Ilhan Omar in the news.

Iran and their proxies have been killing Americans for almost 50 years.

And millions of Iranians around the world (including In Iran) are doing the Trump victory dance to Y.M.C.A.
