British Man Arrested in Thailand After 25-Year Visa Overstay
bananafish replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
Catch illegal immigrant, deport illegal immigrant. Who'd have thunk. UK immigration should study in Thailand. In the UK, he'd just have to say that after 25 years he's got used to eating local food, and if deported, having to eat his home country food would make him feel unfulfilled. Then the UK judges would deem it inhumane to deport him, and he'd be granted a permeant right to stay. -

Egyptian Tourist Arrested for Sexual Assault in Luxury Condo Lift
bananafish replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Sexual assault is part of Egyptian culture? In that case, if he did this in Europe, officials would apologize for the cultural insensitivity caused in arresting him, and let him go free. -

7-Eleven Introduces Convenient PromptPay QR Code Payments Nationwide
bananafish replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I haven't tried it, but when I saw the 'Pay like a local' QR payment feature in the Wise app, I looked into it. You can use it in some other SEA countries, but not yet Thailand. I'm sure Wise are asking to be allowed access to that feature of PromptPay, but not yet granted. -

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
bananafish replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I know people who have already applied for the DTV. It's not so easy. They submitted all documents and they were requested to provide much more. Official tax documents and such. And yes, it's a 5-year visa, and you can come and go as you like for 5 years. Every time you enter, you get stamped for another 180 days. -

Cyanide poisoning suspected in deaths of 6 Vietnamese nationals
bananafish replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I found those things notable, too. I imagined that if they were poisoned, someone must have been making a point to get everyone to drink the tea at the same time. Like, "hey, there's this new tea that you absolutely must try".
