Yes! All 500 of you! The remaining 65 million had other things to do! 

Exactly, 30 million need to converge on Bangkok, that may turn some heads in the House........

Clever. Maybe they can break the dastardly transport mafia there?

I've seen one small motorbike repair shop run by a Thai man and his wife become a bike rental shop as well with 10 or more bikes and seeing the same foreign man swing by almost daily in a SUV or motorbike for a look around, fronting a business I would guess.......I'm sure there's many more fronted.......

it's already happening recently a couple of new app's have started, they are Russians 

I had a young Russian neighbour ( AWOL soldier ) for a couple months, on one of a few conversations he told me about a Russian app that the Russian "community" on Phuket use where they log in and find out where all the Thai police road checks are in place, unbelievable...........infiltration of the Island lol.....

Greetings.

As you're Russian I would like to ask your opinion about the demographics of the Russians coming here now.

What percentage of the people coming would you classify as "fleeing" the war / avoiding conscription, etc. as opposed to "normal" tourists or expats in times of peace? 

Did he respond yet ? don't think so.....

Lawrence: We now know who the star witness in the Trump docs case will be | Watch (msn.com)

Russia invaded Ukraine. 

Ukraine is fighting for their survival.

Russia is fighting for Putin's dream of restoration of a mythical Russian empire.

Must be tough to fight for someone you don't like and kill people you don't hate, (  oh yeah, the recruited convicts are trying to secure Putins Empire ).........the 'special military operation' surely has shown the world the incompetence of Russian forces........

Like us Aussies did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam etc etc

i didnt see you complaining then.

 

I think most Thais would much rather have big spending russian familes here than the sex tourists.

Once they improve on their mannerisms, most Thai's will be smiling again...........

His smirk seen time and time again says it all.....here's hoping the vast majority of the population sees how they've been wronged.....

A bar stool for the day and finish it off with a couple Whoppers, how about wake up, make your bed, 2 hours in the gym........50 burpees included, then have a salad...........you won't need that coffin so soon......

Tourists numbers thrown out weekly, thats all they have to keep Thailand moving........who's going to invest or continue to invest here after that Election farce..........

Keep calm and the airports open.............

Shut that hole under your nose, you have designed the courts and senate and could not be more happy about the young Harvard Graduate Pita's ( election winner ) removal of duties.....

Finally got my Police Clearance back after applying 23 days ago.

 

Will be switching to O-A visa now since I have to buy 12 months insurance for non-imm O anyway 

On your future OA extensions at immigration, try to make sure your health insurance start date is always close to your extension start date.  When your OA visa expires in one year, your extensions of stay based on your O-A will always be to the date of your health insurance expiry date, which could possibly mean your stamp is less than a year depending on your health insurance validity when you go for yearly extensions.......

Mr. Don has no idea who he has in his right hand...............

He is located in Pattaya and the mad hatter at immigration is insisting on the 800k being in bank for 2 months rather than just on day of application. 

I'd sure hate to lose your Non O extensions unintentionally whether it be forgetting a re-entry permit or other neglected policy issues throughout the year and have to start over........headaches online at Embassies abroad and numerous 'mad hatters' at numerous offices here.............

I believe many Thai Embassies do not update their Visa requirements often. 

In Canada, website is still showing a link for the ThaiPass access, however health insurance was required for the 90 day Non O application last year where I had and used previous valid O-A insurance. It appears there's no change in the Non O health insurance, keep emailing and calling get the low-down or get the Non O in Thailand if you have the 800k here or agent........
