Probably not a bad as the torid of rude and entitled visitors that the IO deals with every day

No myth and 1 picture doesn't represent the country. Have you been there anytime recently? Don't think so

What country was that in?

That's not accurate info. Chinese wear mask everywhere. Just because they don't show it on TV that's a image control tactic nothing more

And it can be mandated by the airlines the have their own rules aside for the guidance given by destination countries via IATA guidelines

Airlines make there own rules not ones created in Thailand other than entry requirements

Not true. Japanese wear masks constantly even before covid. Also most rural areas in thailand still wear mask almost exclusively. Sure tger may be a couple outlines but most areas I've visited are still masking

It's there service and their rules whether you like it or not. You have choices to follow their directions or go elsewhere.

Except at private facilities that make their own requirements for enter.

Private entities can make their own rules and refuse service as they deem fit, the govt statement was for govt facilities and has no bearing on private facilities

That's was a national edicte and pertains on to the govt position. Private establishment can dictate their own rules. Public transport has also been recommending the wearing of mask while on board and have the right to refuse service as deemed appropeiate

Nor sure where you get your Information from but they are seldom changed on a whim

You inherit nothing as you can't own any property, you can buy a condo (which you can own) or build a house (which you will lose in the end) but you will get nothing from her family.

So you have nothing for your wife but built a house for the girlfriend on the side?

I suspect the first flag was the visa from a country other than your home country passport. Couple that with your travel history and it can be an instant trigger that your not a normal tourist and as a result the extra questions. Immigration agent are not stupid and they've seen every type of shady visitor you can imagine. F that's the case then additional questions are warranted. If you have nothing to hidind then answer the questions and move along. Don't forget there's extra pressure on IO's because of the chinese issue so extra scrutiny across the board

Pointing out the obvious isn't being vain its being honest. Your attention seeking is consistent along with replying to your own posts.

There's no end to the ramblings and nonsensical topics posted just in order to be seen and heard and hope for relevance. Most times you post and then are the primary poster in replyin. Lay off the medicine and go out in the world and meet people and have real discussions

Thai's driving is more often than not the cos of the true issue

I love here so I know how quickly the roads dry. The video doesn't appear to show wet roads, barely damp but not wet to my viewing

I'm not sure what "wet road" everyone is referring to. I don't see it anywhere in the close up photos. It looks pretty dry to me but hey what excuse works I guess

Things do happen that we all don't hear about as it's normal life. Posters to this forum don't represent the vast majority of people in thailand whether tourist or expats so the situation posted is a fairly normal occurrence

I have been trying to register off and on for months on their site but the original link I have goes no where and I can't find the workable link to requester. No sure if it's me or then. Anyone have the correct link to registration as a vendor

In thailand its a recommendation on the 6 month not a law. They have the descretion at all times to deny entry for any number of reasons. Airlines action are separate and they have guidance on their IATA system of the regulations of each country they fly to. If they make a decision on their own it may be their own policy which may or may not match the Thai guidance. 2 different issues. As I said before I believe Thailand will only stamp you in for the length of your passport validity. You can't be in country with an expired pp is my understanding of the regulations, regardless of your visa category. We don't seem to agree so that's fine. Have a great day

Airlines follow the country regulations registered with IATA system that shows on their screen at check in. I believe Thailand only recommends 6 months remaining at time if entry but not a law to issue a visa but will only stamp your permission to stay thru your expiry date on your pp

I should have written with more clarity. The visa will be a 12 month visa but that only grants you the ability to enter the country in that category with its restriction. But upon entering the country you are stamped in for on a permission to stay and I believe they will only stamp you until your pp expiry date. If you renew the pp before the expiry they will transfer the stamp (new stamp) to the new pp and extend the date. Again I may be wrong but if memory serves me that what happened to me several years ago in similar situation
