Nothing for me will ever replace real books In 4 months in Thailand around the pool not once do I recall anyone will a kindle or whatever they are but saw stacks of people with real books Somewhere there is a lesson

Customs/Border Force (Worldwide) can look for absolutely anything should they choose to. Period.

There's even a wild rumour that they may even turn up on time for WW3 after being late for the first two......

Watch Indicies heavily drop this Sunday night as markets open in the Far East and Australia

Surely there must be proof that it does indeed come from retirement pension income ?? Otherwise as someone already mentioned you could just send 65k a month to yourself ??

Well they weren't fine that day for someone 1.90m tall and not remotely fat !

Out of interest referring back to my OP China Eastern never did respond to my Twitter and FB messenger requests close on 4 weeks ago Thank christ for having an agent on the ball

Like others I find it astonishing that these uber barbarians get a 90 day visa exempt entry Amazing Thailand......

Air Asia itself is certainly not user friendly either lol Only used them once from Manila back to Bangkok 4 years ago and simply the smallest seats I have encountered and that includes the holiday charter flights I took to Europe early 1980's Thank christ the flight was only half full and I could turn sideways

I was tugged at Gatwick last month by Customs (randomly for sure) Do you have more than £1000 on you was the 5th question (45,000 Baht)

You will staggered as to what goes on......Best talk to an agent if you are ever in need. Its utterly mind boggling and I'm rarely surprised over anything in Thailand

I can utterly assure you they dont "fake" a bank statement !! Not so long ago I might have agreed with you but having been taken through the process from start to finish very recently it was mind boggling what went on via Bangkok Bank

Not in my experience regrding dealing with airline direct. Quite the opposite experience in fact
