Visa-free visits for tourists from India and Taiwan from November 10
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Seriously? I'd love to know what that translates to, in an actual USD amount. -
Opinion It is time to abolish the death penalty in Thailand
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's really about time. Get rid of it. -
Who got bored in Thailand and went back?
Caldera replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
How can you get bored in Thailand? If you get bored in Thailand, you'll get bored anywhere and everywhere, maybe it's you -
Thai tourists’ Korea travel ban outcry impacts agencies amid visa woes
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Extension of visa exempt, and, TM 30?
Caldera replied to JemJem's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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). -
Extension of visa exempt, and, TM 30?
Caldera replied to JemJem's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Lost passport with overstay
Caldera replied to Jackm93's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Foreign Tourist Attacked by Hostile Youngsters in Pattaya
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
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. -
The freedom to move: how Bangkok is improving its sidewalks
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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. 🙄 -
Foreign Tourist Attacked by Hostile Youngsters in Pattaya
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Of course not, they'll come back with a completely different story in a few days anyway. Thai reporting. 🙄 -
Online notification of TM 30
Caldera replied to zenobit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can do it either online or at your immigration office. You don't need to do both. -
Vietnam scam alert: Thai men survive scam and physical assault
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Nice one, not as evil as the Thai jetski scam though. 🤑 -
‘Big Joke’ Jeered For Literally Kneeling Before Potjaman
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He's not just a big joke, he's pathetic. -
Foreign Tourist Attacked by Hostile Youngsters in Pattaya
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
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. -
Foreign Tourist Attacked by Hostile Youngsters in Pattaya
Caldera replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
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. -
30 days extension in-country: Where + How?
Caldera replied to henrik2000's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
30 days extension in-country: Where + How?
Caldera replied to henrik2000's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Srettha Slammed For Literally Bowing To Paetongtarn
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Pathetic, albeit not unexpected. -
Dom, captain of Wild Boars football team, killed himself at school in UK
Caldera replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Saddening. After surviving the ordeal in the cave, I would have wished all those boys will have a long and happy life. RIP Dom. -
I think what you don't understand is that not only do they send you the itinerary produced by the onward ticket service themselves, but you can actually go to the airline's website, log in with your booking code and name, to verify your PNR. Lo and behold, the airline ALSO offers the option, to print (or export as PDF) your itinerary. That one looks a lot more legit and indistinguishable from one you'd get when booking with that airline directly. I think this option is common knowledge among people who have actually used such a service, but it doesn't hurt mentioning that this is what you should do.
