What are they thinking? Here is April last year for Chiang Mai

90 days takes us to mid-April, close to the end of this year's severe smog season, after which it's all forgotten. Until January 2025 of course. Then 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, ..........

At 10pm Monday evening in the UK, the pound has barely moved against the THB

Same tradition in my father's family, he always left one pea on the plate. Drove my mother crazy, her family ate everything. All 100% Devonshire (England) people. So these opposing 'cultures' are not confined to China and Thailand.

Decimal point in the wrong place? Probably either 5,700 international arrivals or 250 flights in one day. I wonder which.

Try applying for the visa! (Maybe it's changed since I tried in August. The point is that not all of the requirements are shown on the web-site - you don't know/can't see all the rules until you actually apply)

Thai people? It's all nationalities. Everyone. Just look and you will see many Europeans/North Americans/Australians and other non-Thais also blatantly breaking the rules. It's about failure of enforcement. Which in turn is a failure of Government.

Totally agree. That's why I didn't resume my 2x3months a year in Thailand until now. Two and a half years away from my friends in CM. But even now the 'O' visa requires 7 or 9 uploads, including the disgraceful compulsory health insurance that you can only purchase from one of a list of Thai companies. I refused to pay this (I had been coming on an 'O' visa for over 10 years), so this trip is on a multi-entry Tourist visa.

My lovely Thai lady-friend wanted to go to the "Wine and Steak" restaurant. Its sign shows a bottle and glass of wine. But she couldn't remember where it was. "No problem" I said, I'll google it. Couldn't find it despite many tries and combinations, so gave up. Several days later we found it by accident. There it is, she said. And there indeed was the sign with the bottle and glass, and restaurant name, Why Steak.

Why the laughing and confused? This is a valid and useful enquiry.

This is very useful and interesting for me thank you. (I am British). I would point out though that it has a 2564(2021) date at the top. I have found Thai Embassy London sites to be often out of date, i.e. not updated for the numerous and ongoing changes and flip-flops announced by the Thai Government over recent years. You need to check with your Thai Embassy or a reliable agent who keeps up with the changes to Thai visa, covid, insurance, financial and other entry requirements. Good luck

Agree except the one test needs to be before departing home country airport, not after arrival in Thailand. The risk, from a Thai test, of two weeks in a Thai quarantine hotel or hospital is not acceptable.

The table doesn't make sense. Thailand has higher scores than Korea on all five 'variables'. The UK is higher on 4 out of 5.
