    I've seen a few older ones. They don't seem to stop being ladyboys, just tone it down. I guess it also depends on their job.

    On the bright side, he was only brutalized, not sodomized. Nothing good seems to happen in Pattaya lately.

    Seriously? I'd love to know what that translates to, in an actual USD amount.
  4. Caldera
    It's really about time. Get rid of it.

    How can you get bored in Thailand? If you get bored in Thailand, you'll get bored anywhere and everywhere, maybe it's you

    I have no doubt that this is the direct result of the sheer number of Thais who have been found working illegally in South Korea, despite their claim that they want to enter the country for tourism. So they did need to step up their screening of Thai visitors.

    I think they wanted to simplify the tedious eVisa application process and this might well be the result. For a single-entry tourist visa from a faraway country where the flight in itself is expensive, it really is quite pointless to ask for proof of having 20,000 baht in the bank.

    They usually report their guests online. If you ask them nicely, they should be willing and able to provide you with a screenshot of their online notification, which would be acceptable proof (make sure to print it though, immigration loves paper).
  9. Caldera
    It's always a good idea to take along proof of TM30 notification, as you can never be sure that they won't ask. The "current situation" can change from one day to the next, and sometimes you won't even get past the initial document check for obtaining your queue card if you can't show it.

    For some strange reason, you don't seem to be in any hurry to resolve your situation. Now about that other guy, it doesn't matter if it's 1 year or 1.5 years, the advice would be the same.
  11. Caldera
    I didn't. I weighed the probabilities of two scenarios, based on experience with countless similar stories over the years. I guess we'll see about this one in due time.
  12. Caldera
    Indeed. It would be great if you would share your 10 rules for success with us.

    I guess they've given up on the wires and moved on to the sidewalks. Maybe they can fix the air pollution next, it's starting to get appalling already. Quite early this year. 🙄
  14. Caldera
    Of course not, they'll come back with a completely different story in a few days anyway. Thai reporting. 🙄
  15. Caldera
    You can do it either online or at your immigration office. You don't need to do both.
  16. Caldera
    It's hit and miss. Chances are they won't look at it if you take it along, but ask for it if you don't. I'd make sure to have it.
  17. Caldera
    Nice one, not as evil as the Thai jetski scam though. 🤑
  18. Caldera
    He's not just a big joke, he's pathetic.
  19. Caldera
    Seriously? 🤣
  20. Caldera
    What qualifies as "reporting" here is often shoddy, and often the original story takes an interesting twist over the coming days. I wouldn't be surprised either way, but more often than not, "unprovoked" attacks do have a prelude.
  21. Caldera
    Possibly but that would be rare. More likely that this tourist had had an encounter with one of the youths before this happened, then the youth called his friends and tracked him down for revenge.
  22. Caldera
    Yes the "online" extension, as it stands, is a complete joke in my opinion. Hopefully it's just a first step and they'll come up with something better. In the meantime, your plan sounds like a good idea.
  23. Caldera
    You CAN get the 30-day extension upcountry same as before Covid. You just cannot get the "online" extension upcountry, as you'd still need to attend immigration in Bangkok to get the stamp.
  24. Caldera
    Pathetic, albeit not unexpected.
  25. Caldera
    Saddening. After surviving the ordeal in the cave, I would have wished all those boys will have a long and happy life. RIP Dom.
