That will make TAT very happy!????

Before commenting it would be better if you knew what racial discrimination is!????

Its not 'racial discrimination'???? Islam, is not a 'race'

"More than 400,000 Russians arrived on the Thai tourist island between January and July this year, according to authorities" So will this make TAT happy? Obviously the locals are not happy? When you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud too!

Quite agree. Normally the amount of bail is predicated on the seriousness of the alleged crime? So that may indicate something?

Absolute nonsense!

You could try using a search engine?

You 'Maybe' right, but then again, 'Maybe' you are wrong?

Well considering 80% of the entire judiciary are corrupt, you may well be correct!

They can ask? However actually getting it might be a problem?????

Do you know where their office in Thailand is located? Did you go there, or do send everything by post?

Update he has now submitted the request! Again from Reuters: "BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's former premier Thaksin Shinawatra has submitted a request for a royal pardon, outgoing Justice Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Thursday, his latest move in a long-running power struggle with the country's establishment." "If a royal pardon is not granted, Thaksin will have to wait two years to submit another request." https://www.yahoo.com/news/thailands-ex-pm-thaksin-submitted-091641397.html

According to Reuters: "BANGKOK (Reuters) - Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is preparing documentation to draft a request for a royal pardon, but when it would be submitted was at his discretion, his lawyer said on Wednesday." https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-thai-pm-thaksin-prepares-112252067.html So now we wait?????????

Immigration make a lot of money with extensions of stay, 1,900 baht a pop?

Yes, last time i was there, 2016, all bags are checked by x ray machine, they don't open all the luggage like they used to years ago! They are really looking for booze, I suspect, but anything looking suspicious they will open your luggage.

Yes indeed, in fact try taking a Bible into KSA, its going to ruin your entire day!

Small crosses are allowed but must be covered up, so they cannot be seen!

Once you clear immigration there are ATM's by the baggage carousel, once you go thru customs and out into the main arrivals area, there are more, your BB card should work with any Thai bank ATM mine does?

I'm sure everybody that gets sentenced to jail/prison in Thailand is under tremendous stress, but they do not get treated like this? ????

Yes i did, very busy. I am sure there will be a high season, I was just wandering because now everywhere is open. other countries I mean, how 'high' this year will be! Bearing in mind the high season last year, just gone, Dec/Jan/Feb was first time after covid Thailand was really open and I am sure people were eager to travel. Also airfares remain high!

Yes, right now being low season, things shouldn't be too bad, but we will have to wait until Nov/Dec/Jan , to see what happens, if there is a high season this year?

Fully agree with you, but it is about time?

Absolute nonsense!????

Excellent news, now I hope other 'Western Countries' take a similar course, but I seriously doubt it?

Also in the 90's in Pat Pong, the bars name was Pussy Galore!
