You're just too poor to retire, nothing to do with Pattaya or Thailand really. Enjoy working some more, bye for now.

I don't think they will still have any paper forms, the whole idea is not having to deal with them any longer. They want YOU (the traveler) to do the data entry for them, instead of having to decipher your handwriting. They might offer a way to enter the information in arrivals (by providing tablets or kiosks), but I wouldn't count on that.

To streamline the process, it's possible that they will instruct the airlines to require the QR code when you check in for a flight to Thailand. Or they might have kiosks at the airports, like Cambodia. Time will tell.

That is not uncommon, also seen with Vietnam's eVisa system for example. They'd enter their names in the same way as they appear in the machine-readable lines of their passport.

Thai PM fumes over delayed quake warnings; demands action
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm not sure if I'd call them "delayed", considering I still haven't received one. "Forgotten", maybe? -
I haven't seen any evidence of "mass hysteria" here in Bangkok. Have you, or did you just dream that up?

Secret Banking Networks Fueling Migrant Smuggling to Britain
Caldera replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Hawala isn't secret at all. -
I would call that stupid.

Not really. They usually get denied for "spending too much time" visa-exempt in Thailand. Quite some people have reported flying in and out frequently, without any issues as their overall time spent in Thailand is short.

I'm here mostly for my amusement. I know that most posters cannot be taken seriously and I don't really have a problem with that, as long as they don't try to sell me anything.

What an incredibly foolish act by someone of such a mature age.
-
Maybe they realize that their waitstaff and cashiers fled as well and wouldn't even have been there to collect any payments.

Earthquake Aftershock: Mental Toll on Thai Residents Calls for Support
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Luckily, Thailand isn't a Western country where people can abuse such an event to milk the system for benefits due to imaginary distress. Seriously, how bad could the mental toll be unless you were near that collapsed construction site? I stayed in a swaying high-rise and I think I'll survive without seeing a shrink. -
Flood of Crack Reports Follows Bangkok Earthquake
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
What are the chances that all of those hastily recruited "volunteer engineers" (the article mentions this term a whopping FOUR times) are adequately qualified and incorruptible? -
There's no way Trump, or anyone else, can make America great again. He's a great showman and hyperactive, but I don't think there will be any tangible benefit for the vast majority of Americans. Most of the disruption he causes works in China's favor in any case.
