It's a total disgrace and the voters have every right to feel betrayed.

Due or undue, Thaksin's overdue return has been a complete farce even by Thai standards. ????

I'm a bit baffled that you waited for 5 hours for the re-entry permit, aren't you aware that you can apply at the airport on your way out? That being said, when Big Jok(e) gets around to make his suggestions, I'd wish they do away with re-entry permits altogether and make them an integral part of every long-term extension. It's such a waste of time, hassle and passport pages for no good reason.

That would be a total disgrace and a disaster for the country. Things are already looking bad enough as they are, but if The Watchman gets the job, this country is doomed.

Nonsense. That's not how the Thai eVisa system works.

As always and looking at the quality of some of their communications, the big question is if they actually understand and mean what they write.

Those "activists" are the bane of Thailand.

If you must ask...

I would prefer to see it plunge by a substantial 8%. In addition, of course.

Luckily he didn't promote beer, that would have been taken a lot more seriously by those local authorities.

Well for HIV to do any real damage to the immune system it usually takes several years, so I doubt that this guy was unlucky enough to catch all 3 infections (HIV, syphilis, mpox) in "one session" just recently. More likely a history of untreated/unmanaged STIs for years and now his immune system just couldn't handle it anymore.

It's usually 3 months for a single-entry tourist visa nowadays, so unless your embassy specifically deviates from that in their list of requirements, that's what I'd provide them with.

Ah, the sub committee reporting to the committee reporting to the secretary general, all waiting for the constitutional court to come to the rescue... what a farce it is!

I think for many long-term supporters who have suffered through two recent military coups and their fallout, their party entertaining a coalition with a military party really was a red line. Young people, on the other hand, are just disgusted by the way they ditched Move Forward. They probably hope they can make people forget once they're in government, but if the formation of their government fails and there's another election, they are toast. Quite a gamble.

Lock him up for contempt of court, a few weeks in jail will do him good. He better gets used to it anyway.

Very funny indeed, considering that the country has already been held back for 9 long years by Prawit and his ilk.

That's a good choice.

Probably the most idiotic reply I've had here in years.

So he assaulted a police officer with a skateboard, and instead of locking him up and prosecuting him, they allowed him to fly back to China? Muppets.

Isn't that rather obvious from what the OP wrote:

Land border crossings with Myanmar are either closed or could be closed on short notice. Land border crossings with other neighboring countries (Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia) are open.

Even 2nd rate Airbnb hosts can manage to offer self-checkin nowadays. Can't this clown just send Thaksin a prison cell key card for his convenience, should he choose to arrive out of hours? Sorry, but I just cannot take this "Thaksin returns, no really, just wait for it" farce seriously anymore.

Better a leg shorter than a head shorter. Many who are unfortunate enough to be I a motorbike accident in Thailand don't make it out alive.

Your passports will be linked when your new passport will be scanned entering the country. What I don't understand is why you seem to be concerned about this.

Covid? Have you checked the calendar? The answer is NO.
