Yes I am sure all these new tourists were sitting at home looking at the exchange rate with there bags packed ready. Soon also read of surge in tourism due to all foreigners arriving back in Thailand after fleeing Songkran.

It is a confusing article, paxs retrieving bags on arrival normally look at screen to see carousel where checked in baggage can be retrieved so usually would not even know if some belts inoperable and would no delay departure of outgoing flight. So why warning for paxs to get to airport early and prepare for delays at check in. Is an arrival issue surely not a departure issue.

Wait till Musk reads about this. Am sure he will be able to help USA with this or any other country that will dish out taxpayer dollars for his consumption.

Nobody is condemning Trump for the arrest and deportation of such persons. The criticism begins when they send letters to US born citizen who was in fact also a magistrate or judge telling them they are illegal citizens and get out of the country or else. Five plus agents going to a citizens home in civilian clothing displaying no identification and when her lawyer arrives and questions their actions they tell him they are there to do a welfare check. This is the concern and these are not isolated cases.

Walker88... it may not be a fortune after working all your life but do you think it should be mandatory to deposit your disposable income in a thai bank. This would also mean that in the case of a default by your bank you would not be compensated more than B1mill. I enjoy being able to choose where I use my surplus funds beyond the required B800,000 necessary to obtain my Non O visa.

I am very surprised that they compensate property owners affected by the earthquake at all. It is not as though they were responsible for the earthquake. I would have thought you would seek out your own cover for such events and I do know that condo owners in Aust / NZ have to have seperate cover for mortgage purposes as cover by Body Corporate does not quarantee adequate cover. So it is possible to obtain. Thailand ??

A court can rule that a foreigner surrender his passport. I have a friend who was a witness in a court case and the police held his passport until the court case was resolved am certain that is illegal.

It is my understanding that several years ago Ukraine agreed to surrender nuclear weapons and the USA declared they would protect Ukraine. How under Trump has that worked for them. Another country to be sacrificed and abandoned by the USA. Who needs friends when you have Trump.

If photo relates to this issue it would appear he walked away and left bag etc behind. In Australia if any bag, package etc is found unaccompanied they do an explosive trace test on it. Same machines that are at security checkpoints and you may be chosen to submit to where they swab clothing and any items that you carry with you. A positive read from the exterior of the items tested could be because he had handled fireworks, been at fireworks display with bag etc and as stated a false positive which are reasonably rare. If you get a positive you are meant to use new sample and test a further twice to confirm initial read or clear pax, items.

Koh Samet is a great place to escape to.

OMG I cannot believe the rhetoric , history will be the judge so let us visit this in one year. I do not believe it will be a victory for trumpians . How people express such vile views of others when they have not contributed one ounce of effort to contribute to improve whatever scenario is truly baffling. Literally cowards.

So some anti protesters did what the police should have been doing in the clip I just viewed.

Fact from one of Trumps trade treaty negotiators. It took 2 years for the best ever treaties negotiated by Trump with Mexico and Canada. It should not take long to complete negotiations with the other 73.

Gottfrid.... when you are sitting in the back of a baht bus and people on the sidewalk throw buckets of water inside I do not think you can say please do not . I have had respect from thais requesting not to throw water but foreigners a very different story, even cross the road to throw water at you, idiots.

Captain-Shane it is that arrogance got trillions ripped out of the share market since inauguration day and over two trillion in the last two days. Australia already sends billions of goods to China, it is called world trade. They China are in fact Australias biggest trade partner.
