Exactly!! So in other words, for any rich people from now on that read this, they can smoke away, expect to get fined on landing, and continue their holiday no matter how much it is!! Unreal!!

To the OP, I actually travel between Thailand and Taiwan (permanent resident) and agree with you 100%. On top if the bag option purchase, the bags you buy actually have the label/sticker implanted on them that you can also use as bought garbage bags that the city only takes in the daily pickups. Another thing they may want to do in Thailand is pick the brain of the former Taiwan President, Ma. Before he was president, he was Taipei Mayor and said enough was enough with the stray dogs. When I first got here in 1999, it was like Thailand today, 1000's of dogs everywhere!! He cleaned them up and for over 12 years or so now, I have not seen one stray. (in the city that is).

Thanks for that info. Sounds like some companies can work around the 6 month requirement. I have a friend working for a Thai Insurance broker who told me about the 6 month rule. Maybe you were signed up for 6 month or 1 year contracts. But this is Thailand so anything goes?
Yes it's Thailand. All of them weren't recent and remember Bangkok Bank had the daily plan and I only purchased 21 days I remember (you had to be an account holder). But rules change all the time as we know!! Thanks!!

Thanks rak sa_ngop, but I come and go a month at a time (or less), shop around, and have gotten it through some Thai offices. Over the years I have gotten it through Allianz Thailand, Chubb Thailand and even my Bangkok Bank a few times. But they seemed to have up the prices of late so was just asking around. Thanks again!!

I am Canadian, 54, and travel between Taiwan and Thailand often. I have used different travel insurance companies for my Thailand stays over the years and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for me? Arriving in January for 30 days. Thank you in advance!

You "always" exchange the funds in hand, in that country to whatever you want. (in your case, baht is exchanged "in" Thailand of course). If not, you will be charged twice. Actually not hard to figure out.

I travel between Thailand and Taiwan a lot, and in Taipei (all Taiwan not sure?) there are anonymous tip/ reporting lines for all kinds of things. You can call in AC's dripping onto sidewalks to motorbikes with illegal exhausts and so many more. All you do is call in, report the infraction and get a code. Police go investigate and if so, the people are fined. You call back in 15 days and enter the code to see if they were fined and if they had, you get 50% (or about). You then just enter a bank account # for it to be deposited into and done!! And guess what?......I haven't seen water dripping onto sidewalks or illegal exhausts for many years now!! It works if ran correctly.......so in Thailand, you never know lol lol lol!!!!

From the linked story:
Now she has to wait and hope. She wants the public in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam to keep an eye out for Bullman.
Yes people will keep an eye out for him but just one problem, they don't release what he looks like!!!! Unreal....here we go again.....another wanted pixeled picture of a wanted person in Thailand possibly walking around with us today!!!

I'm Canadian living between Taiwan and Thailand. I have the government insurance health plan in Taiwan but I would NEVER enter Thailand without personal coverage. I come for 30 days next month and I bought my plan 2 months ago. I had Canadian relatives visit twice over the last 2 yrs. and I warned them about Thailand / hospitals / driving and they told me their banks had automatic coverage or they payed next to nothing through their bank to get it. Not sure why this guy didn't have it? Anyone with prior knowledge as to how they drive in Thailand and not be covered makes you wonder.

Well, they are deterring the Taiwanese now too.....wonder who else is on their list with this new stupid requirement: "Thailand visa requires proof of finances from Taiwanese"

Introduce whatever kind of tourist visa you want, wont make any difference.
The way immigration clowns are acting will only deter tourists.
With the baht being kept artificially high is just another way of sending tourists to other countries.
This so-called government have absolutely no idea how to run a country, tourists are put off by that as well.
You're exactly correct.....and now they are deterring the Taiwanese too: New Thailand visa requires proof of finances from Taiwanese

Defamation laws???
He is alleged and so didn't do it, but he did. If he is found guilty in a court of law and sentenced, then U still can't say that he did it, even though he did. If you say that he did when he did, then stating that fact is defamation. Do you get it now?
If you say, No, then you may be defaming me as well by insinuation alone. You might be suggesting that what I am saying is wrong and that's not on. ???? you will be in effect defaming me. ????
I understand what you are saying about their (idiotic) defamation laws here and they do say "alleged" but they do say: Police confirmed “If he comes back to Thailand he will be arrested.”...so wouldn't that mean there is a warrant?....if so, publish the face!!!...he is Wanted!! And if you are "innocent until proven guilty" and can't publish faces, what about people being paraded into/out of court daily in this country and their faces all over TV / newspapers? You may want to use the 2 Burmese boys that were on Koh Tao Island as an example for that!!

I travel between Thailand and Taiwan and I find the same thing about diet drinks in both places. But to the OP, you are lucky you are not in Taiwan. They took all of the diet drinks away except for only one, Coke Zero. Think Coke paid off the right people there as there is "nothing" else anywhere!!

How many times here do the cops always issue an arrest warrant along with their name announced to the media/public......and no picture ????
So a murderer is wanted and wandering around Thailand and nobody knows what he looks like except his friends/family???? Only in Thailand!!!
