  1. In a very distant past when Bangkok's main airport was Dom Muang, before leaving Thailand you'd have to go to a counter and pay the departure tax (500 Baht if I'm not mistaken) and only with the receipt they would allow you through immigration.
  2. Just read that this virus comes from bats. I have seen people in restaurants on Thai islands that keep bats as domestic pets. Apart from that, bats are widely available in Thailand and neighbouring countries. I just hope that science catches up soon and figures out a vaccine.
  3. It's very normal for a Because they want to experience the world's best airline, Qatar and also one of the best airports, Hamad international. Once they realize that it does have one of the best baggage security inspection they probably get a bit disappointed.
  4. The automated gates are already available for non-Thais on departure. They have issues with trust so they can't allow them on arrival, I guess.
  5. The teachers pretend to teach and the students pretend to learn...
  6. Don't pretend to be stupid. We all know that nobody is capable of being elected for president in the US without tons of money. In the last election Donnie got money from Elon whom in turn thought he then owned Donnie, but Donnie (as usual) didn't follow the script and kicked Elon and his son out of the white house.
  7. Well, the person was talking about Donnie ending the Ukraine war, I said he has ties with Putin which will not allow him to do that. Is there anything new in his ties with Putin? He won his first term with money from Putin, everyone knows that.
  8. It's not going to happen as he has too much to profit from Putin.
  9. He's just taking advantage that the US is considered a global military power to enhance his own, sick ego. Trump is all about himself, not Thailand, not Cambodia. Sorry if truth is too much...
  10. Trump isn't remotely true either. Now he's just a spectrum from his old times at Epstein island surrounded by young free lancers!
  11. Probably trying to find the elusive Thai smile... Where has the Thai smile gone? Does anyone know?
  12. I don't think so. If that's what you plan to do, I believe you won't have any problems,as long as you stay within the limits of your Visa exemption.
  13. One thing must be said about the plastic on the beaches, most of it come by the sea. Not thrown by people. I have participated in many beach clean ups and it's sad to see. We would clean a big stretch one day, just to see it full of plastic the next day. It's specially bad on the Andaman sea.
  14. The sentence refered to FATALITIES not catching the flu.
  15. He claims that it was his love for Pad Thai that brought him back to Thailand. Just wonder how the Pad Thai taste in prison. Too much MSG perhaps...
  16. The US under Trump probably doesn't want him either...
  17. The stamp I get on my passport is always 90 days, at least that's how all the officers interpreted it. And I do have many many entries. One detail, I have never overstayed even one day.
