Chivas

UPDATED Saw them yesterday. What I has suspected was accurate They booked the main tickets 5 weeks previously but had bought the onward tickets at the same time ! Course they had gone off the system 48 hours later !! So that explains that clearly Though still surprising they got asked for them with already having Evisa

Again dont shoot the messenger lol If someone says they obtained Evisa in advance then obviously no 3rd party is going to call them a liar Notwithstanding though the onwards tickets didnt stack up Let me check tomorrow If I see them. They may well have gone off the system and I'm suspecting thats the case

I'm wondering in hindsight and will ask them if they bought them too early in excess of 48 hours prior to check in and they went off the system which you are warned that they will do If I see tomorrow will ask

Yes they had 60 day Evisa....these lads were not idiots that was clear. As for Evisa and Visa exempt effectively being the same I can openly say that last entry in January I was pointedly asked "no visa" because previous 3 entries had been visa exempt hard up against the 60 days and thrd one had been extended It was clear that my next arrival I will need Evisa in advance I also agree that normally having that visa trumps everything but clearly not this time.....could well have been check in agents being over zealous As I said in OP dont shoot the messenger on this one......I have always been dubious that these onward tickets would stack up to closer examination

Not "home" per se but "onward" out of Thailand (apologies quote button is not responding)

See the new thread started in same sub section.....worrying

Up the infinity pool this morning 2 Brits that came in yesterday on Qatar Both had 60 day Evisa both were on one way tickets.....both had onward "tickets" from the sites we hear about for $10 etc etc of which I have used 3 times myself (albeit never asked to show) Refused boarding at Birmingham airport after onwards tickets were "checked" Didnt stack up......had to buy 2 one way tickets to Vietnam (assume that was cheapest option) First time I've heard of them being refused (and they had Evisa as well) Dont shoot the messenger on this one lol.....I am surprised if only because they had Evisa anyway

Move the goalposts as much as you like fella............... You know only too well the point I was making Vance in particular was pure evil with his rhetoric which prompted Trump to jump in....period

Listen fella there's even a wild rumour that your mob will actually turn up on time for WW3 after being late for the first two....... Needless to say I dont believe it Your President and his vile rat 2nd in command were utterly evil

Vance was pure evil quite deliberately baiting Zelensky until Trump joined in as well Bear in mind Zelenskys lack of English both Vance and Trumps behaviour bordered on pure evil Feel incredibly sorry for the Ukrainian President

In the past rarely booked tickets more than few days in advance Always worked perfectly via agents Tend to book more in advance these days Not quite sure why someone mentioned "you'd get a rubbish seat" In 172 arrivals London Bangkok only ever just once did I have a middle seat rather than my normal aisle preference

Laguna 3 Maldives

They have completely stopped the short termers staying at Condo residence I have in Jomtien They introduced a facial scan on main entrances and individual condo blocks To be registered for the scan you have to produce contract of 30 days and longer Of course many didnt or couldnt comply and were promptly denied entry when it went "live" The pool areas decreased in numbers in excess of 50%

Yes lol I think that one of the two I bought drinks for...the other one was called Lucy also racked very well

Will add this as well Close to the start of Bongkok 8 in Pattaya there is a bar thats perched on the junction across the road called "Henrys" Quite simply a beer bar (half decent) and good spot for people watching I bought 4 Lady Drinks without checking price (my fault) 800 Baht !!

The lack of foot traffic around Jomtien is staggering....it was very much more busy last October Exchange rates flight fares cost of girls attitudes are all taking their toll

Trump is an absolute dangerous maniac determined to destroy everything aided and abetted by that utter loon Musk Just HOW any US nationals voted for a convicted criminal is beyond astonishing

Whatever the rights or wrong over the original "detention" I doubt there is a single member here who doesnt believe that he indeed did pay a bung to get out of it

Yep plenty of good reports over them

They were red hot on screening for new Covid varient when I transitted through Shanghai on 12th January sign saying failure may result in quarantine Fortunately my body scan came back clean as regards temperture (I suspect) Not my finest hour that was

Several people somewhat "confused" over what I wrote over the "Line" translation service You write your message in English and send it to your Thai Girl where its auto translated into Thai Now get her to send that exact Thai script message back to yourself this time allowing it to be translated by the app back into English Half the time the content is now wildly different to what you actually wrote Try it yourselves

Have just sent PM lol

Yes I can must have been late 1977 It was Ford Cortina Mk2 I can even remember the registration number HCO 76F

As I said earlier in the thread I find the bashing of our national airline absurd If you're in a aircraft at 35.000 that goes Tech there is absolutely no other airline I would want to be on to rectify the situation (I'd include Qantas in that) Flew on China Eastern out of Gatwick couple weeks ago its not just a "holiday" airport....flight was over 95% full through to Shanghai

Never been my experience in an extensive arrival count I have been asked twice recently "no visa" but purely polite conversation. Certainly never ever been asked to show tickets hotel booking cash etc etc
