  1. Spot on. While in neighbouring Malaysia (and other countries) you're just asked to scan index fingers, in Thailand it's also thumbs, and four fingers... Not to mention, the long time the IO needs staring at the screen for each visitor. Do they play online chess, watching their favourite soap in the corner of the screen, or why do they need much longer than other countries' IOs to look at the screen before stamping passports?
  2. Yes, as they are taking jobs from Russian- , Hindi-, and (fill in any language) -speaking Thai tour guides! ????
  3. In Pattaya now I see mostly older white guys, a good number of Russians, some Chinese, and lots of Indians...
  4. Because they kept to themselves and avoided contact with others if possible? That's what I did, and I like to think that I never got Covid.
  5. NZ wasn't really offered, and it seemed relatively expensive just to receive SMS.
  6. The problem is, after several emails and messages, no reply.
  7. As for me, the transaction happened when I was overseas, so I didn't get messages from DTAC, obviously.
  8. The only way I can think of, is entering overland, bypassing the Immigration building. But for a Dutch (not Burmese, or Cambodian) citizen, that would be very stupid.
  9. Sounds strange. Did she arrive by yacht, just hopping onto the beach, or did she walk across the Mekong river bed? I mean, she's not Burmese, but Dutch...
  10. Thank you. Anyhow, learnt a lesson on how to book accommodation. Won't use 'give card details, but pay later' option anymore.
  11. Having a printout of my K-Bank debit card transactions overseas, I noticed that a hotel abroad charged me twice for staying there in February (cash, then one day later debiting the card for the same amount). What is the procedure (at a bank branch) to have such a debit cancelled? (I was just told over the phone by K-Bank customer service to 'contact the firm that debited the amount', but I haven't received an answer from them yet.)
  12. Or Mia Noi #9 <deleted> him off that morning...
  13. If you want to travel to the (real) Land of Smiles, you should travel to Cambodia...
  14. Hot in Thailand... Maybe it's the climate change.
  15. I welcome those topless activists. However, pics would help in understanding the importance of such news...
  16. That's okay then... Using cords as long as they look like they will break is fine in Thailand. ????
  17. Can I use a copy of ID page/entry stamp + my old passport when checking in at hotels?
  18. Like a very small lady drink?
  19. So, the 30-baht health-care scheme is (not) working then...
  20. I guess, all those Laotian and Khmer 'tourists' avoid the expensive hotels and restaurants...
  21. On recommendation, I downloaded Bolt. Got quoted 41 baht. Guess I can afford the extra 19 baht.
  22. To be precise, 31,331,998,765.75 baht... - Amazing predictions!
