  1. How could they possibly know his visa status before establishing his identity? What a sad and incredible story again, hopefully his death will be investigated properly. RIP.
  2. At least there's a solution to that problem - just go to a border where they like to make a buck.
  3. Not like she's been put into that situation by accident. Depending on which side of the divide you sympathize with, you can choose how to read this, and both would be correct.
  4. Agree with the OP. Even after the recent earthquake that caused hardly any real damage in Bangkok, my phone's internet connection was unreliable for quite a while (too many people sharing videos of overflowing swimming pools?), so having a bit of CASH to buy a few bottles of water and orange juice while camped outside waiting to be allowed to get back into the building definitely helped.
  5. That doesn't surprise me at all.
  6. Do these drugs actually work? Those with a severe case would probably need to start treatment early on, when they don't even know that they're headed towards severe illness yet? As most Covid infections are mild nowadays, that could be a real challenge
  7. I've always been strongly anti-Indian, because of their near complete lack of manners and personal hygiene - wherever I've encountered them. Their country basically resembles a giant rubbish dump, and it's surprising that those who venture out seem to be determined to turn other countries into the same kind of mess instead of enjoying a break from it. Strange.
  8. That isn't really a "transfer" as such. They need to stamp you out in your new passport, and in order to be able to do so, they put a stamp in your new passport that references your old passport, as well as a copy of your entry stamp. What people mean when they talk about a "transfer" is that you have a permission to stay in Thailand that won't be terminated when you exit, so typically an extension with corresponding re-entry permit. While airport immigration would stamp you out and back in using your new passport, they won't transfer your extension and re-entry permit to your new passport.
  9. If you use a border bounce service, yes. Otherwise, there are no guarantees, different IOs have different ideas as to how much time somewhat should be allowed to spend in Thailand as a tourist...
  10. Others weren't so lucky and had to endure staying in that horrible country. You won't have any issues with getting a Thai visa or entering Thailand because of your trouble in India, in any case.
  11. Do you have a visa for Laos, if you need one? Or do you plan to apply for a visa on arrival? From reports at other bridges I've seen before, it's not uncommon that the visa on arrival counter closes before the immigration counters. So that could make a big difference.
  12. Clearly they're unfamiliar with HAL.
  13. Realistically, only China has enough influence and manpower to crack down on this in a meaningful way. There's no hope that anything will change from within Cambodia.
  14. If you're currently banned from entering Thailand, you cannot use a safe entry service to circumvent that official ban. A safe entry service doesn't magically make an inadmissible person admissible. It simply ensures that you'll get an IO who doesn't use their discretion to deny you entry.
