Very unwise move, unless they don't care about losing customers.

Thai make a loss because of the large number of non-paying passengers they carry.  This should stop!

Thai Smile have a 20 kg hold limit, and have never weighed hand luggage so far, as long as it is within the visible allowable dimensions!

Just arrived in Taiwan with Eva.  The flight was full.  Hold luggage was just within limit.  They looked at the hand luggage but did not weigh it !

It is still a wild animal after all, and a dangerous one at that!  Taunting it for entertainment is asking for trouble!

Looking forward to the detail.  Sounds promising so far !

R.I.P the dead.

Fantastic effort.  Well done !

Tragic indeed.  RIP.

Fascinating !

Even better, go today !   It will not be granted immediately, and you will be required to come back to collect it.  With Public Holidays looming, there will be increased demand, so there is no time to lose!

RIP the father in what is a really tragic set of circumstances.

It is not likely to lead to a great downturn for Thai workers as stated here, as in reality most workers in that industry are Cambodian or Burmese?

It is almost a war zone !

I understood that all batteries were now assigned to hand luggage.  That is what most directives point out?

Yes, excellent grammar indeed !  There have been some very sensible and helpful posts on here for a change.  Of course there will be some discrimination, but you sound sensible enough to be able to deal with it.  Try life here first for a while. You could come to like it !  It has lots of definite advantages over the U. S !! 

It was an incredible team effort, and what amazes me, is the speed at which foreign help was brought in, to get involved in the rescue so quickly.  Massive praise to all involved !

Adds the romantic dimension to what is obviously going to become a film about the dramatic cave rescue at Thom

Luang!  Good luck to them !

If one does not have a Thai DL, and IDP is an excellent alternative, as it has to carry a photo.  I believe that a Government Hospital card with photo and in Thai, might be acceptable?

The defamation laws are bizarre, and I would recommend extreme caution.  How did anybody know of your intended return to the Kingdom, and why?

Fantastic result.  Congratulations all round, and for the readiness to accept foreign help, which appears to have played a crucial role in the successful outcome.

Late but still possible to use the mini submarine if circumstances change, though not necessarily to bring any of the remaining boys and their coach out !  There is still an enormous amount of equipment that will need to be retrieved.

Fantastic efforts by all concerned.  Congratulations !
