    And now they have four times the number of tourists, who, on average, stay 1/4 of the holiday duration compared to 20 years ago... 😆
  2. StayinThailand2much
    True, as all tourists have to leave after 90 days.
  3. StayinThailand2much
    Those pesky tourists again... If it weren't for the TAT, etc., they could just close the borders shut for good. 😆

    Apply for a retirement visa first, with 800,000 in the bank. Thai bureaucrats and bankers will love the extra cash after you cark it... 😆
  5. StayinThailand2much
    Will they encourage all those senior tourists to come just once a year, spending the average 7 or 8 days per trip?

    Has been going around in China recently with all hospitals crowded. Well, all these quality tourists from up north had to bring something... 😆
  7. StayinThailand2much
    They have been offering illegal visa practices for more than 20 years, often even offering them to law-abiding tourists out of the blue... TiT! 😆

    How to retire, or stay longer-term, if one cannot open a bank account? Does Immigration accept a briefcase with 800,000 in cash now as proof of retirement funds? 😆
  9. StayinThailand2much
    Not at all, if you want a subsistence-based economy, no foreign trade, or foreign relations, and no foreign tourist arrivals... 😆

    Better than Nok or Thai apps. Last time I tried to book a flight with them (2022), their app and website wouldn't go with my card. I booked with Singapore Air instead, and happily paid a few bucks more.

    Same here, well, mostly. Never a problem for 20 odd years. Then, suddenly, in early 2020, things changed. (My theory is, that, possibly, those female dragons at Arrival in Bangkok have a 'denial quota' they have to meet.)

    Don't you get tired of such "Welcome to Thailand" routine at the border? Yes, already! 😆
  13. StayinThailand2much
    Watch out for randomly cancelled flights with no compensation... AirAsia = 🤮
  14. StayinThailand2much
    Almost #1 (reverse)... 😙
  15. StayinThailand2much
    "ID card" you mean also passports?
  16. StayinThailand2much
    Will it be like in China, where you need a national's ID card to register? Great, so will I have to get a SIM card in Cambodia, or Malaysia, if, as a foreigner, I want to use my phone in Thailand... 🤔

    Not everyone has a printer at home, and, post-Covid (when many shops where one could go to print out closed) there aren't so many possibilities anymore. So, paying a lot to find a place to print this thing out, or even buying a printer just to travel to Thailand... Not gonna happen. 😆
  18. StayinThailand2much
    Yeah, teaching Western crime response methods to a corrupt and ineffective police force... Do they teach their kids to run a marathon before learning to walk too? 😆
  19. StayinThailand2much
    There always seemed to be plenty until large numbers of Chinese tourists arrived. After that only the strings were left, but no more pens... 😆
  20. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, it's pretty neat. But what are the odds that Thailand will introduce such a painless system...
  21. StayinThailand2much
    So now, every time, I have to give check-in staff and, later, IOs my phone that this QR code can be scanned? 🤢
  22. StayinThailand2much
    I was always waved through till I was 50. Then suddenly I was interrogated, and, at least once, almost denied entry...
  23. StayinThailand2much
    Phew, in-country scams are exempted then... 😆
  24. StayinThailand2much
    Will China retaliate by sending fewer tourists? 😆
  25. StayinThailand2much
    There seem to be more and more these days at the two Bangkok airports...
