    Shouldn't the headline read: Senators accuse Thaksin of faking illness to dodge prison and of scheming to install his daughter as his puppet PM? Glasshouse. Stones.

    That never worked before and it won't work this time either. I don't see any high rollers having a desire to holiday among visa exempt Indians.

    I'm sure that would be an interesting option for quite a few people who wouldn't enjoy the long minivan round-trip from Bangkok and prefer to organize their own transport.

    You can, why would you do that though? Unless and until the 60-day visa exempt gets reduced, there's no benefit in entering with a SETV instead.

    What you can and what you cannot get away with varies a lot between checkpoints and even individual immigration officers. Ultimately, you have a decision to make, either play it safe and pay upfront or take your chances and potentially deal with a denied entry.

    That's a pretty silly theory, especially when you consider that most overstayers aren't even from the countries mentioned. Where's that exponential increase in rootless Westerners roughing it out in Thailand illegally? Only in the OP's head.

    What could possibly go wrong? Thailand doesn't even have safe zebra crossings.

    Those savings come from selling their house, so if and when they return because "Thailand didn't work out" (no income stream, no real plan other than homeschooling the kids), they'll be homeless. I feel sorry for the kids.

    I have yet to see actual evidence that they match passport numbers rather than names. Their announcement was about matching names. I mean the automatic matching they did. I don't doubt that you'll have to show the same (current) passport to both network provider and bank in case the automatic match failed and you have to visit them.

    Indeed, they've been very busy promoting that they are back. I used to be a customer and just re-installed their app to have a look around - my original registration is still valid. I'll give them a try next week.

    I guess that number is as good as any he could pull out of his behind.

    Rebranding efforts? More like dishing out big fat brown envelopes!

    What a laughable and ridiculous move, leaving aside that Cambodia won't extradite him to stand trial in Thailand anyway.

    You'll need to check with each of your banks if they support "cross-border QR code payments" in Laos. Chances are that some will and others don't (yet). For example, in Vietnam I could already use my Bangkok Bank app for QR code payments, but not my Kasikorn Bank app.

    What good would "Climate Fear" do me? I'll leave the panicking to the panic monkeys and Gretas of this world, as per usual.
