I’m not sure the exact wording but

if you enter a country without a residence permit ANYWHERE in the world, the Airline MUST check if you have a ticket out. If they don’t they’re liable for you NOT being able to leave.

So to answer your original post YES you must have a outward ticket, it doesn’t matter if they didn't ask you the last 100 times, you should have a ticket out.

Sometimes I’ve show a screen shot of a cancelled ticket when asked and they haven't really checked or read it properly, but I’ve been asked maybe 5 times in last 10-15 years traveling to LOS, and other countries also.

Thanks. Very good advice - we have a smart tv in the living room and yet I am content watching my 27" computer screen. 

Take control of your life and TV don't let them dominate, get a Firestick and the world is your oyster.

hope not too personal, but what do you splurge on? I could use a new car -and yet my 10 yr old vehicle is still fine.. 

 

And my family is nice - they even know the difference between a gift and a loan - and they pay back the loans... 

Mostly electronics, upgrades from 2-3-4 years, they're a complete waste but make me feel good for 10-30 minutes 

Decent Shirts & shoes for walking, and I held off buying a TV for 10 years got a New One now and its WOW, 57,000 Thb 65" HUGE difference.

You did not.

 

You really should reread your post as it is there

a phone (none of Apple’s phones and probably no other I know of ) with 2 physical DUAL SIM Cards can carry 4 SIMs 

You meant to say because it can carry a physical DUAL SIM Card but you did not.
 I am well aware of the  construction of those SIM trays.

 

2 physical = 2

dual = 2

2 physical (2) dual (2) SIM cards (2+2=4)

not your meaning but exactly what you wrote.

WOW

are you happy now??

did I miss anything else

should i brush my teeth one more time.

please help me or I won't go out today ??

i'm considering buying this from Hong Kong website 

from Apple website mentioning Dual NANO SIM ( from Hong Kong) 

Using Dual SIM with two nano-SIM cards

In China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao, certain iPhone models feature Dual SIM with two nano-SIM cards. This gives you two phone numbers to make and receive calls and text messages.

If you have an iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), or an iPhone XS in Hong Kong or Macao, learn how to use Dual SIM with an eSIM.

Here are a few of the many ways you can use Dual SIM:

Use one number for business and another number for personal calls.

Add a local data plan when you travel outside of the country or region.

Have separate voice and data plans.

Both of your phone numbers can make and receive voice and FaceTime calls and send and receive messages using iMessage SMS and MMS.* Your iPhone can use one cellular data network at a time.

* This uses Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology, which means that both SIMs can make and receive calls.

What you need

To use Dual SIM, you need iOS 12.1 or later, two nano-SIM cards, and one of these iPhone models:

iPhone 13

iPhone 13 Pro

iPhone 13 Pro Max

iPhone 12

iPhone 12 Pro

iPhone 12 Pro Max

iPhone 11

iPhone 11 Pro

iPhone 11 Pro Max

iPhone XS Max

iPhone XR

How to install the nano-SIM cards

Insert a paper clip or SIM eject tool into the small hole of the SIM card tray, then push in toward iPhone to remove your SIM tray, notice the notch in one corner of the new SIM card. Place the new SIM card into the bottom of the tray—it will fit only one way, because of the notch. Then insert the other SIM card into the top tray.

With the two nano-SIM cards in place, insert the SIM tray back into the device completely and in the same orientation that you removed it. The tray fits only one way.

Are you saying that with the Hong Kong 2-physical sim cards, you could have AIS (I also use AIS) and one from a US carrier in the phone and have BOTH working simultaneously?  In other words, I could receive SMS Text messages from the USA and still have full functionality of my AIS card?

 

 

my understanding is YES 2 Physical SIM cards active same time, only 1 DATA Cellular connection for example AIS if you are in Thailand, and then simply switch to your OTHER SIM Data once you are in your other country.

but you are able to receive Calls ands SMS Messages from both at same time, (subject to costs) 

here are some examples from Apple website.

I don’t know the cost of having and e sim, but I have an AIS and a UAE sim both active on 2 separate iphones (one is for work), I switch the data (cellular) depending on my location, but I still can receive calls and SMS wherever I am at any time.

Longer term and for ease of use instead of charging and carrying 2 iphones, I'm actually going to buy the Hong Kong variant of the iphone and then insert 2 physical Sim cards instead of this eSim

I've read the eSim is tricky to activate and keep online, so the Hong Kong is simpler for me, but pleae give some feedback if you get this eSim up and running, Please note you will need a signal from your US phone in Thailand as a minimum requirement. 

This was taken from Apple website regarding ESIM

Find wireless carriers that offer eSIM service

Your iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR, or later, can have two cellular plans, one on a nano-SIM card and the other on an eSIM. Find out which wireless carriers in your country or region offer cellular plans on an eSIM, either activated by QR code, in a carrier app, or by installing an assigned cellular plan. If your iPhone is unlocked, you can also use eSIM plans offered by other carriers.

Thanks PPGuy. If Tuk Com can’t help, I’ll follow that map, Do you have the name or specific location of the 1st floor place?

I bought a really cheap battery from LAZADA and used TUKCOM to install it for me, after 2 months the battery was not very good, so my advice is try to get a newer iphone if you can, the cost of a real iphone battery is about 2,500 THB, so you may as well get a newer iphone like and SE

A long time ago , maybe 8/9 years I ordered some Samsung phones from HK because I wanted a higher spec than what was currently being offered in Thailand. . Maybe you can get your iphone from https://www.expansys.com/ as you are asking

this website looks ok. shipping costs not too bad actually approx 58USD,  Iphone costs same as  Thailand

the other one FORTRESS needs an HK mobile to register 

FYI

I'm going to wait for IOS 16 announcement next week, and see what options are available, i don't want to buy an soon to be outdated iphone

I rather doubt that you have that information correctly worded.
 

None of The Chinese models have the capability to carry 4 SIM cards as your wording states.
 

They have 1 SIM card holder, that can hold 2 physical SIM cards.

I asked for Dual SIM card holder 2 TWO not 4 Four 

The Chinese variants have a special SIM card Tray that hold 2 TWO SIM cards side by side 

Thanks 

Hi I looking at buying an Iphone SE 3^rd gen

BUT I want the Hong Kong variant because it can carry 2 physical DUAL SIM Cards rather than the Dual eSim variant

Any suggestions where I can buy this type of iphone without going to Hong Kong.

online website for example ????

Surprise

I use a service called Iview HD

my friends recommended it about 3-4 years ago

it has changed my TV life, it is installed on my firestick so its easily portable especially if you travel a lot like myself

I pay $190 per year it has LIVE catch up TV and a VOD section

I can’t recommend it high enough try 30 days and then see if it floats your boat.

I would choose 

Qatar

Etihad

then Emirates

this is based on quality NOT cost or destination or schedule.

I have never flown Finn Air but several friend rave about the service so maybe worth a look
