I'd get clean $100 bills in Thailand (readily available) and exchange them for Cambodian riel in Cambodia. Small denomination dollar bills are on their way out, in rural areas it's best to have riel.

They could start with introducing a criminal records check. Some of those retirees probably have criminal records as thick as a phone book back home, and filtering them out would be easy. I've never understood why this isn't a requirement for ALL longterm visas and extensions.

I'm not convinced that "most people" get what the problem is, if they really think that all it takes is more rounds of voting. I'd daresay that if a recalcitrant senator couldn't be convinced to vote for Pita in the first round, he will be very unlikely to change his mind at this point. The BJT party also clearly seems to embrace their "mission", so where will the required extra votes come from?

Waffling about "belief" does very little if anything to convince people that they're doing their job with the diligence and integrity required.

He would be pretty much the worst that could happen, another round of lost years for Thailand.

If you get a new passport in the UK, you will enter Thailand with your new passport AND your invalidated old passport, which will allow you to use the re-entry permit in the latter. That's the best option. You would be able to enter with your "almost full" passport if need be, but if your new passport is delayed and you unexpectedly have to travel again, you might have a problem later on.

This country looks more FUBAR by the day. What a sad state of affairs. Predictable outcome, but saddening nonetheless.

He should know better than assuming that logic and reason will prevail. Sadly.

How predictable.

Outlandish, and not something I would wish on Thailand to actually materialize. Wasn't their plan to focus on quality over quantity? They seem to have realized that they cannot attract enough "quality tourists".

Most ATMs in Cambodia NOW only have $100, 20k riel and 50k riel notes. Those with $10 and $20 notes are quickly becoming a thing of the past. As for the OP, I'm a bit baffled. Who in their right mind takes riel abroad when leaving Cambodia?

The timing isn't suspicious at all with the vote planned for tomorrow. They sure could have referred this to the court 1-2 weeks ago already.

Man-eating escalators, the latest scare with Covid-19 now behind us.

If you had spent as much time on avoiding your overstay as you spend on asking these questions, you'd be in a better place. What I wrote wasn't "reasonable speculation", but based on many reports from overstayers I've read. Very few had problems with regards to entering other countries with a Thai overstay. In fact the only problem I remember was with Lao Air refusing to take people with an overstay to Laos, ariund the time when Thailand introduced blacklisting. If you're concerned, fly home first and get a new passport there. While that doesn't wipe Thai immigration's record of your overstay, it will ensure that IOs in other countries won't see any potentially incriminating stamps.

They usually aren't interested. Plus the overstay stamp is in Thai language only, so except for the officials of Laos who can obviously read Thai, "nobody" can read it anyway.

Can you blame him? There must be quite a few idiots working for him.

How could there be a time-line at this point? Did the Russians confirm when they'll withdraw their troops? Didn't think so.

That is so sad. No really. He could have quit years ago already. Instead, he held Thailand back for 9 long years.

China, virus factory of the world

I can't blame him for trying. That's an outrageous prison sentence for such a white collar crime, especially considering that they didn't steal from some poor old grannies but from the sports rights monopoly/mafia. Well anyway, the party is over now.

They've certainly taken annoying their users to a whole new level lately. I'll finally switch to using a downloader too.

Embellishing his story a bit like many others... Who is he hoping to sell it to anyway, considering it's all been said?

Hopefully a sufficient number of his colleagues will see the light. There's no shame in being appointed to the senate by the military, unless you let them make you their pet.

Fingers crossed.

This aspiring medical tourism hub has no lack of sickening slogans to promote itself.
