I do understand, that's exactly what I used to do professionally....it's time consuming but should be done.... IMO

We'll agree to differ....

Who are you flying with - the Wright brothers?

Well said.... Let the Luddites wait and use the archaic systems. Btw....I'm 70 with no intention of letting technology pass me by.😎

Most airliners have power / USB sockets adjacent to the seats. I understand these are still available.

Absolutely wrong!!! The correct way is to test as you say with real world scenarios but the testing should be performed by professional testers with the site inaccessible to others, then when fit for purpose, released as Beta allowing approved users on. Professional testers will ask real world questions, if they're good at the job - I certainly did! Your suggestion is what Microsoft appears to do, relying on the end users to do their bug finding instead of producing a finished product on day one hence the constant flow of updates to Windows.

Probably country of passport will suffice. BUT as @Maestro said earlier, this is still under development and really shouldn't be visible to any of us! As a former software tester, I find this to be extremely poor practice....the site should be on a development server until tested and ready for release to we the users.

Americans can speak English? Well well 🤔😏

None of which matters as long as the stupid vapers (or smokers) stay away from other people when using their filthy products. Harm yourself if you want but leave the air as clean as possible around others.

Corruption?

I do precisely that

They may be TAT official figures but my comment was my IMPRESSION of Pattaya at this time. Many more crowds of Chinese in places I go and have gone in the past. I've no idea if one can trust TATs numbers - have you?

I don't share your pessimism especially looking at the crowds of Chinese in Pattaya at present. I also think that Europeans would regard it as I do - a very minor hurdle. Thing is, we're both conjecturing anyway until some decision is made.....if one is!

True but realistically do you not think that will apply to very few people, and those it does affect will be able to use a combination of SETV and visa free entries of 30 days each if planned correctly? Even if the price doubled, which I doubt, it would still be VFM IMO

At last! All these people complaining about having bought tickets for 60 day stays This isn't law yet so by the time it is (if it is) you will have entered Thailand and got 60 days permission as per current rules. For the rest of us (yes including me) next time get a 60 day SETV. I last did that in 2024 and it took about 15 minutes on line. OK it cost £30 .... peanuts on the cost of a trip to Thailand.
