Completely incorrect. 

Many airlines from various companies require onward flights for visa exempt travel to Thailand. 

 

well you can make up and think what the diddle u want 'chief' BUT I've been on 5 airlines the past 2 months from Europe and like ONE asked for an onward ticket...

from my knowledge of maths or math as some forieigners like to say, I make that a 20% hit rate......like I say, make your own math up if you like ????

Do I need onward tickets etc?

depends where you fly in from.....

I flew from Germany via Saudi Arabia and neither of them could give a crap.....

Flew in from Japan and the lady at the departure airport wanted to know about onward flight.....I eventually got into my emails and showed her my return flight to europe which is end of november.....to be honest the email could have been made up and I was getting frustrated with her being a 'control freak'........I think it's more a reflection of the Japanese way of the life and how 'controlled' their society is, that's probs why I felt aggrieved lol

there's a chinese outfit called Luyuan.....they've got together with some Thais and are selling the S30 plus over here for 81k baht....the outfit is called Lyva

AND you could have had it for 51k baht at the motor show

I think I might have even been tempted off my push bike at that price ????

Any idea?

do you have to stay in Thailand? ie I was looking at a flight to Taiwan the other day, like £39 so it's cheaper than the 1900baht they want for a 30 day extension...

ok it's £39+ on the way back too but hey just an idea, lots more cuntries in the world that don't wanna rob-u like the Thais eh? ????

is India a worthwhile option?

cheap motorbikes over there....

on a more pertinent note, google autophagy, nobody you know will have heard of it.....why's that then? well, there's no money in it for big pharma eh

ditch sugar in your diet for starters, cut carbs too, learn about fasting, your body renews itself that way....

good luck

PS my neighbor was living perfectly well alone with parkinsons at 85 till her daughter decided she had to go in a home and promptly sold her large house ????

what even is a 'resident' nowadays??? seriously, what's the Thai government definition?

i carry a UK passport but I've spent many years living in frogland.....in fact I wish I had a frog passport, certainly easier to travel to cuntries that don't hate the brits and yankees so much.......and with good reason eh ????

It will cost you 15-20k baht, but it's worth it.

(I assume by "benefit handouts" you mean government expenditure which includes a lot more than simply welfare payments?)

unaffordable public sectors pensions on top of the bennies will push the UK to the brink.....

the 'spooked markets' you refer to just highlights yet again what a knife edge the whole thing is balanced on.....I don't think Liz Truss invented LDIs did she?

was it perchance those banking and economics wizards yet again?......but yeah let's just pass the blame eh......it was obvious the 'hidden controllers' didn't want Liz so they had to replace her with their banker loving puppet......wot ????

Once again, someone who seems confused.

 

"print to infinity" is not based on any Economic theory.

exactly, Economists are not intelligent enough to do decent theories, just the art of 'keep the dumb plebs in eternal debt'.......echoes of Rothschild's 'give me control of a nations money and I care not who makes the laws'........anyway, good luck with the UKs bankruptcy ????

You should hate them, they have destroyed our home country.

i find myself agreeing with this guy quite a bit, lol.....since the benefit handouts exceeded tax incomings methinks it's now less than 12 months before something like 'hey phone the IMF for a bailout' is a comin round the corner, RIP UK

i agree, all eCONomists I've ever read and spoken to think they can defy the basic laws of maths..........and all appear to think the solution is 'print to infinity'.....jeez ????
