Definitely a possibility in Thailand.

And it would help your case if you read the thread fully and my previous answers to others before jumping in with comments that imply I was criticizing the unfortunate man.

Very droll. It's an urban myth.

I am sure there are plenty in the town or city where you hail from. He sold shallots and garlic, that's hardly Mensa material, is it?

Who, but the most adventurous or mentally challenged, would want a train journey like that after a long international flight.

They are not buying face, they are uneducated and trying to make ends meet. Many cannot read or write, let alone do arithmetic.

I have answered you with the easy way for Cambodia. If the Myanmar border was open, of course there would be fees, it is inevitable, but it isn't so it doesn't matter.

Hi, You are doing it all wrong for Cambodia. Apply online and pay direct to Cambodian government for a tourist visa 1 week before you intend to use it. It will be sent to your email in the form of a PDF, and you print it, cut it out and staple it into your passport. After your trip, take it out of your passport, and you have an unscathed clean page plus you have paid the correct fee to the Cambodian government online. Nobody will stick it in to your passport, they will just stamp in and out on a nearby page. I do it all the time. https://www.evisa.gov.kh/

AFAIK, If I am returning to the house where I have been registered for 20 + years from an overseas trip, I do not have to submit a new TM30.

Yep, 100% correct.

So what has that got to do with regulations to be deployed in Thailand?

I agree, I had my family here earlier this year including my ex wife, sister and niece and they all wanted to see it. At breakfast the following day they were all adding up how much they had spent, which was plenty! , buying drinks in the bars for those asking etc. In fact, all of them spent more in that one night in Nana than any other night in a three country tour of Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Their comments were that they were glad of the experience and now knew what they were talking about should anybody mention Nana Plaza in The UK. It obviously wouldn't be something they would do on a regular basis on a trip to Thailand. In essence, it was a bit of fun and a laugh. Moving on from that, my comments were mainly aimed at the Chinese influencer, who dressed provactively and then slagged off tourists who approached her in Nana Plaza red light district. in that location, what did she honestly expect? I was pointing out if she wanted a chilled night with no hassles from men then Nana Plaza wasn't probably the best choice. I think she sought the place out deliberately. I believe she just did it for hits and publicity online as that is where these so called ' influencers ' derive their income, with their ' likes and shares and follows '

What some don't realize is that new laws etc are not for the public benefit at large, they are there to be used as loopholes by the BIB to extract money where they can quote the law being behind their actions.

I think and I CERTAINLY HOPE, that posters are reading into this taxing business completely wrong. The Thai government cannot tax you on incoming funds from your home country that have already been taxed or your pensions. I also don't believe they are aiming this at foreigners residing in the country, more likely, at Thais that are circumnavigating the tax system in Thailand by spending a certain amount of time abroad. Anyway, I don't even believe this silly plan will come to fruition and I think its just sound bytes and white noise.

I can see it now. ' I might as well have a beer while I am waiting the result of the breathlyser '

You are being way too logical and sensible and forgetting this is Thailand.

You know I was going to make that same comment as you have already posted. Isn't it ridiculous? It just shows how little they really do in the form of work.

So they are leaving it up to the person who has been drinking to decide when they are fit to drive? What could go wrong? A drunk neither knows nor accepts that they are drunk,.............. message to the DP of Thailand............... It's the same when you are stupid!

The three people who contacted me privately, I have sent you all the phone numbers and email of the lady lawyer based in Korat. You should be good to go. I have also emailed the lawyer letting her know some potential clients may be in touch.

Well, it must be if Vietnam has just won first place in the World's Best Rice Contest 2023 in Cebu, Philippines.

Of course, I used to fall soft and clear it, but not anymore, I deduct it from her monthly allowance.

To the idiots on here who keep posting confused emojis, what is not clear in the above statement? It is bloody annoying when some are posting confused emojis for no apparent reason or is it beyond the comprehension of some posters, that I said that Nana Plaza is not the best choice for females to go on a night out? It is an adult male entertainment zone. What is confusing about that? Or are we just sheep on here and hit the confused button because somebody else did?

I've got a usufruct over the land and houses. For the car, I make sure there is plenty of finance or enough that she cannot borrow against it. The motorbike has been borrowed against as we speak. It's been ongoing for years, without the gambling, a perfect partner. Not lazy, cleans, washes, cooks, pleasant to get along with, etc.

Nothing to read here, move along, just a different snout at the trough. Looks like he's eaten plenty already.

I have one. Fluent English-speaking lady lawyer based in Korat. She has a law firm and is the owner of an English school/translation service. Her prices are fair and reasonable. You can PM me and I will give you her email and phone, and then your lady friend can converse with her directly to find a solution. I use this lady for my affairs and have done for a long time.
