Okay, on second look, you might be right. Maybe the Nike 'inventor' was inspired by the painting...

Yes, but did you see one on the inside of the shoe on the left? (There is something, but no "tick" like on the inside of the shoe on the right...) Faulty production by Nike? Maybe the time-traveller bought them in the early 90s in China...

I don't think so; this has nothing to do with the airport tax, raised by airports around the world to maintain, well, airports, but an extra tax proposed by the Revenue Department (because they can) of 1,000 baht, officially to 'keep citizens and residents spending too much money overseas', i.e. creating extra revenue for Thailand's incorruptible government, while keeping the money Thais and residents (hello, reentry-permit holders) would spend abroad in the country. Mind you, once Thailand's internationsl airports need more money, say in 1-2 years, the 700-baht airport tax could very well be raised too...

Proof that people get dumber and dumber, and that our educational systems are failing in educating today's kids... In aforementioned painting, if they were Nike shoes, why is the "tick" logo only on the inside of 1 shoe? Just checked pics of some other paintings and statues mentioned in time-traveller articles... A girl in a 1860s painting 'holding an iPhone', which is clearly (pssst, Generation Z, you may not know such a thing), a BOOK, perhaps a bible. And the ancient Greek woman's 'laptop' could be anything of that shape, perhaps holding a reflective surface or "mirror". (I suspect something similar for "Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield" at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, even though, on first site, it looks a bit like an iPhone.

Only because you're not well informed doesn't mean it isn't so... https://www.thaipbsworld.com/a-guide-to-thailands-proposed-departure-tax/

This is all boll****. Even if they were not to agree on raising the debt ceiling within the next two weeks or so, the government would still have means to keep on spending, not ideal, but possible. And the "X-date of 1st June" is not the exact day when 'the money runs out' either...

My impression is 'yes'.

Unless they're from China...

That's a whopping 41,288 baht and 27 satang... Get out the c̶h̶a̶m̶p̶a̶g̶n̶e̶, ahem water... ????

Spot on.

Doesn't really make sense. 'Price hike due to decrease in output', but 'promise of higher profits'... Seems, that the 'decrease in output' was only small (if any), while the farmers just jumped on the bandwagon of 50-percent price-rises for food because they can...

Wonder, how they could even do this kind of job, unless they were fluent in Thai.

Don't tell me; they had planned to extend their visas with the money from the 'gold jewelry' insurance, but the money never came, so they exchanged expensive Pattaya for the much cheaper Pattalung, where they lived happy ever after (till now), working as ice-cream sellers...

I wouldn't bet against it...

I see. So, in a nutshell, Non "B" and Non "ED" extension holders cannot leave overland if not cancelled. And if, say, I had a mix of visa-free entries and/or TV or Non "O" (visas and) extensions (retirement, marriage) during an extended stay in Thailand, I can as well flip a coin, thanks to the IO's power of discretion?

Here we go again... Better not wear my yellow, red, and black shirts.

Maybe he is also interested in receiving billions of dollars of 'free money' from Nigeria. He would have to pay a small fee, of course...

LOL. Fools and money are easily parted.

Damn! Now I wanna go...

#1. I'd think that this depends on your nationality. You (usually) can get a visa upon arrival in Cambodia. As for Vietnam, it depends on your nationality, and how often you travelled there within a certain timeframe. So, yes, you might be declined staying on in Vietnam without a visa, which, I presume, would mean a flight home. (As for details and post-Covid updates, why not search Google... #2. The short answer is 'yes', but you might be lucky to be sent back to the place you boarded at, provided that you don't need a visa to enter there.

Thanks. That clarifies it.

Which one? I thought 'no', but someone wrote 'you have to'...

Plenty of bars 'For Sale' in Pattaya. Either the owners got filthy-rich, then sold and retired, or...

I'd like to learn how to make bubble tea of fried chicken... ????

Reading all the posts, I'm totally confused now; if I have a Non "O" extension (of any kind), do I have to cancel it before leaving Thailand overland, or not?
