Yeh, sure, can anyone believe that they will start paying for hospital treatment for tourists. AND, if they do, will the Government be charged the grossly inflated Farang rates, or local rates. It is ALL going into the certain banks of a few at the trough.

It cannot be included in the ticket. How will airlines put up with the extra work to see if a passenger is eligible to pay, or not. It must be paid at immigration.

The letter for the Driving licence from Immigration is 1,000 Baht in a seaside town about 250 km from Bangkok 0n the way down to Surat Thani....

So glad I live in the sticks, will not see one of them with a bit of luck.

It's o.k. She was only a worker from Myanmar, so you will hear absolutely nothing more of this story. Different nationalities, different levels of importance unfortunately. R.I.P. to another innocent victim.

Is it the poor English writing, or are the numbers all made up.................................. ok, 138,000 passengers per day................. Now, in my book, at 3,000 per hour will take 45 hours to process the 138,000 daily passengers..... Let's hope he means by another 3,000 extra................

I like the way they kept her head out of the photo op, but left her open passport on the desk in full view.............

Sorry, but you are wrong................... https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/84710-driving-in-thailand?page=5d6636ce15e39c3bd000734d&menu=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072e2

You need an IDP along with your licence.

Wrong, it is a permit, yes, but it is required if you are staying a short time. It is valid for one year, but only three months at a time, any longer and you need a Thai licence.

Agree 100%, but what is worse is that another member posted a thread called lack of freedom of expression. I replied with about 30 emojis as a bit of sarcasm, now I cannot access that post, I think it has been dropped. No doubt this post will be censored too. I am with you, probably leave AN soon. someone else posted that it was strange how a simple emoji upsets so many grown men. It is not the emoji, it is the censorship, and manipulation, which is happening all around us now, with the covid stupidity, banking rules, and Governments trying to control all we do. Rant over, have a good one.

Is this actually legal?

You do not clarify if it is a foreign bank card, or local. I pay about 200 Baht a year for my card with SCB. I can use that at most machines with no charge. However, a foreign card will incur an immediate charge of, I believe, 250 Baht per transaction, plus a lousy exchange rate on top.

O.K. This morning I notice the laughing emoji from the choices on the right of a post has been removed. Not sure if breaking forum rules by questioning this decision, but why?

The laughing emoji appears to have been censored off the choices........ I have started a thread to ask why.....

Later in the day they had a private meeting to discuss sharing the pie......

They do not need to construct another building. There is a huge one in Bangkok already fitted out where s** all gets done now.

You have to remember that NO Government, anywhere, has any money. It is all gleaned from the populace any way they can.

I do agree with your hypothesis, however, I believe I found the flaw in your reasoning.

Was worth that, hope he has insurance. On the good side, he made it out in one piece.

Why would they want proof of funds for 90 day report. The online system does not ask for it. On the other hand, I forgot where I was for a minute....

Thanks, I was going on personnal experience. A late friend had a condo in Hua Hin, believe it or not called "The Flame Tree", and they did not allow them. Also, my Son's apartment, also in H.H. does not allow them either.

Ignoring the slight spelling error, I thought all condos banned gas cookers and bbq's.

The thread title is an oxymoron of the highest calibre.

Just went to the office, filled out a form, then they cancelled one visa, and started another. I lost about two weeks on the old visa, but no big deal. My Wife was present also, and, for some strange reason I could not figure out we needed a letter from the local Amphur office to say we were still married......don't ask me why. Oh, and the money in the bank. As Proton mentioned, they prefer it as less work for them. Sorry, I forgot to mention the standard paperwork as listed by MJCM above.
