Times are hard for tourists! ????

And the other one is in Vietnam...hahaha

Well, Prayut's new initiative is certainly attracting the Russian " high end, well heeled tourists " from his preferred countries of choice who he wants to see more of in Thailand. We just need the Chinese * breakfast buffet locusts " now.

I think I will, I've just got a ticket through the post for speeding " allegedly " on the Khonkaen Kalasin highway!

The Thai way! If less people are coming, charge them more to make up for those people who aren't coming! They don't understand that they might make those tourists that do come ' cheesed off! ' Straight out of the Prayut, Prawit and Anutin anti foreigner manual.

I am unaffected as I fly from Manchester and always as a rule, use Qatar, I do not like BA, but anything that gives any hint of a slap in the face to those arrogant dimwits in power in Bangkok, who think Thailand is the ' hub of the world ' is fine by me! The only reason tourism airport fees for ' improving and maintaining tourist sites ' and additional fees put on the price of air tickets just in case of ' foreigners requiring hospitalization ' haven't been banged on our tickets yet is because the Chinese and others aren't coming in any kind of numbers. It certainly isn't through the kindness of their hearts.

There are far too many sections and sub sections as it stands now!

Thank you, One last question. It's asking for an invitation letter from somebody who has permission to stay in the UK. We will be staying at my house and I am a UK born national but reside in Thailand. Can I do the invitation letter or should I get my son to do one from the UK? That seems a bit silly, but their rules I suppose. You mention it's going to the UK platform, does that mean to the UK Embassy for approval? Because aren't the VFS just intermediaries that ensure all documentation is correct?

My partner had a two year UK visa multi entry and we traveled there in 2018. Obviously with Covid19 it became impossible to travel.The visa expired in 2020. I was online today applying for a new one. They seemed to have changed the format and the requirements. She has had 5 visas previously. It is asking us to upload documents, provide proof of relationship etc. Of course we have all this information but would prefer to hand it all in with a nice neat file to Trendy buildings, as opposed to uploading. I don't like that method and that's it. Is there a way of making an appointment and handing the documents in to Trendy buildings as opposed to uploading documents? I feel much happier doing that even though it means flying from Isaan to Bangkok. I am at the payment link stage now and don't want to finish it until I have checked out this option.

I know IPTV providers come and go, they close and open, and by and large can be unreliable other than on short term contracts. They are evolving all the time. Can any members tell me of any good IPTV providers in Thailand for UK entertainment channels, USA entertainment channels and UK sports channels please? Prices also would be appreciated. Also, if possible minimal buffering problems. I would much sooner have less channels that work, than thousands of channels with many that don't work or are of no interest to me.
