Is this NOT what the Thai Government wanted? free visa, talk of lifting the BAN on ALCOHOL SALES, To get more tourists in and get them happy drunk. then complain that only BAD FARANGS.coming to THAILAND.
It's not a disgrace; it's just how Thailand's not-so-helpful British Embassy works. We Brits are WARNED to follow the LAWS of the country they visit but B. Embassy Bangkok cannot follow. THAI LAWS.
