Given that hundreds of millions of meth pills, and hundreds of Kilos of crystal meth are seized almost weekly in the Kingdom, "staggering" seems like a stretch. Between January 20 and February 4, authorities seized a total of 37.23 million meth pills, 434 kilograms of crystal meth https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/news/politics/40046021

When was this? Did they say how they'd contact you? Like others have suggested, it might be best to revisit the branch. There many interdependencies with BBL, facial scan, phone number name matches account name, Know Your Customer details, accurate contact details (incl. phone and email).

Based on articles of this type published over the last twenty-five years, which sometimes mention this... they use an Average Spend per Tourist figure, presumably based on historical data, and then just multiply the two numbers. That's my best guess - because they sometimes mention this average spend figure in press releases. They have a different ASPT for international and domestic 'tourists'.

Good to see that they teach extortion here at an early age. And people say the Thai education system has failed the Kingdom's young people.

6,700 IRS (probationary) employees have been fired, or will be fired by Friday evening.

Yes, some land borders. Government to temporarily waive TM6 immigration forms June 15, 2022 Last Updated: Friday, June 17, 2022 PM Prayut Chan-o-cha briefed media yesterday after the cabinet’s weekly meeting and revealed the government has agreed to temporarily scrap the Tor Mor 6 immigration form. The TM6 form is the arrival/departure card foreigners fill in providing passport details, name and address, etc., on their entry and exit from Thailand. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/government-to-scrap-tm6-immigration-forms

The TM6 was suspended in July 2022. That suspension was EXTENDED 15 April 2024 through 30 April 2025.

I think Musk intends to fire 6,000 probationary employees at the IRS, but they haven't been fired yet. Again, I don't read a lot into our two experiences.

And yet everyone survived without the paper TM6 since July 2022 (longer at some border land/sea checkpoints). Most tourists get their address reported at their first hotel, and each one afterwards. I think the only valuable information was the voluntary questionnaire on the reverse side.

That refers to the Electronic Travel Authorization, which is on indefinite hold. Agree with Dr. Jack, you need to get up to speed or simply stop posting uninformed comments.

It should be embarrassing for RTP officials to use two-year-old stats. Surely 2024 stats are available.

That refers to the Thailand Digital Arrival Card. You seem to be conflating an eVisa with a TDAC.

..out of ~ 5 million arrivals to date this year.

Many other countries require an arrival card. In most cases hotels report arrivals. In a few cases individuals may have to file a TM30 (or TM27/28).

Can you elaborate on this claim?

If Singapore is any model - and it often is with Thai procedures - then no, it will not be a requirement for boarding yes, it can be done in the arrivals hall At this point I wouldn't worry about it. Once it is "soft-launched" there will be more details.

I filed on 1/28 (here), refund deposited 2/6. I don't read much into that, just assumed that early filers don't represent that much volume so their returns are easily processed, likely automatically.

DOGE/musk seems focused on the 150-year-olds for now so we may be safe. But Musk does seem erratic, and subject to hissy fits - some here remember his behavior during Tham Luang cave rescue - so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of actions. Anxiety Mounts Among Social Security Recipients as DOGE Troops Settle In “Social Security will not be touched,” Trump answered, echoing a promise he has been making for years. Despite his eagerness to explode treaties, shutter entire government agencies and abandon decades-old ways of doing things, the president understands that Social Security benefits for seniors are sacrosanct. “Social Security will not be touched,” Trump answered, echoing a promise he has been making for years.

I was wondering why no one was calling me anymore.

I give this post three Tubervilles.

Celebration.

You do realize that he doesn't have sex with these baby mommas, right? He orders them from the IVF clinic, he usually orders boys, in groups of two or three.

Has anyone received communication from Bangkok Bank regarding this subject? I haven't, no email, no thai post letter, no notification in the app.
