    Although you may be correct, I have drank beer in the back of a taxi and the driver couldn't care less. Lots of things are "illegal" in Thailand but the chances of anybody doing anything about it are zero.

    "Yes. Even as a Brit entering UK on a British passport ( I have no others) where it never works in the e gates I have been subject to several questions after revealing I am not resident in the UK." Surely if you have a British passport entering the UK, immigration cannot refuse you entry, Why would they ask any questions?

    Agree with what you say. Its difficult to understand when TAT are saying they need more tourists to come to Thailand and then on arrival you get the third degree?

    I never realized smuggling Pork and Chicken into Thailand was such big business? Its not like they don't have an ample supply locally, is it?????
  5. mikeymike100
    Well its called whiskey, but i believe its made from sugar cane, so its really rum?
  6. mikeymike100
    That is not what I posted, or even inferred.

    I agree! people come for many different reasons, but food maybe one of them?
  8. mikeymike100
    "You make it sound like food is the only thing worth coming here for." Not at all, the reason I mentioned food is because it was in the headline of the post. "English breakfast in Thai hotels" I fully agree with you though, its not just food that brings people here.

    Got to agree, why fly half or a third way around the world and then want food and drinks like back home?

    Agree and bring their airfares down, but I can't see that happening!

    Surely if they are ripping off passengers and only allowing "certain" taxis into certain locations,(or else) they are behaving as the mafia does, are they not 'lowlifes'?

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I looked up Bernard Trink and now understand!

    Certainly agree with you about Banks and bankers, but it seems to me that people are not bashing Thailand or Thais per se. They are commenting, quite rightly, on the ridiculous defamation laws in Thailand.

    Could you explain what "TIT"means, thanks.

    Once you have cleared customs, the alcohol/bottles can be consumed anywhere, in the airport, in a taxi, or even wait until you get to your hotel room! My point is it invalidates the fact you cannot buy alcohol on 10th October!
  16. mikeymike100
    I came into Suvarnabhumi 3 days ago and incoming passengers can also buy alcohol. So its not just for departing passengers, is it?

    I transferred some money yesterday morning(Friday) from the UK to my TMB, now called TTB bank, just get the usual message cannot transfer mote than 50, 000 baht, unless to Bangkok bank or Krung Thai etc, the transfer took 6 seconds to get to Thai bank.

    I am hoping against hope that comment was sarcasm??

    Surely the "Airport Control Zone" must exist at all airports in Thailand? But private taxis are allowed, at all other airports? Why is only Phuket a scam airport? Boycott Phuket, well at least the airport!
