Kristi Noem: Six headlines that defined her turbulent time in office
Not enough. She has to be investigated, and hopefully incarcerated for corruption, unlawful conduct, and lying under oath. This could happen as soon as Jan 27, when the Dems take over Congress. The question is, will his orangeness pardon her?

Red void stamp in passport
You are definitely more likely to come under scrutiny, be questioned, and denied entry than someone with a similar visa history who doesn't have such a stamp. Now might be the time to get a new passport.

Denied entry for being tattooed
Do you approve of tatts on a woman's mammary glands, buttocks? How about nipple, labia, tongue piercings? 😜

Immigration Tighten Visa Rules to Combat Transnational Crime
I think he is talking about visa extensions at immigration offices in Thailand, where the red tape is truly remarkable, and results in waiting times of hours just for a 30 day extension of a Tourist visa.

Thailand Denies Airport Extortion Allegations
Had the same experience last month at the new airport in Phnom Penh , except that the luggage arrived almost instantly too, much faster than Suvarnabhumi. Especially the bicycle, oversized baggage, at Suvarnabhumi I wait on average 30 minutes, Techo airport it was 5 minutes.

Thailand Denies Airport Extortion Allegations
Sufficient funds yes, hotel accommodation sometimes, but clear travel itinerary not required for most countries, and is a joke anyway, as backpackers, bikers, and a lot of ordinary tourists want to explore the country freely and rarely have a clear itinerary. As a matter of fact, Thai authorities don't really care about your travel itinerary either.

Thailand Denies Airport Extortion Allegations
That "charge" (bribe) they call a stamp fee, and is usually 5 $ on top of the 30 $ VOA fee. Happens at most land borders, not at airports, but they don't /can't deny you entry if you refuse to pay the bribe, they just make a scene, and in some cases "delay" the issuance of the visa.

A small Tip goes a long way!
Yes, Pattaya attracts scumbag from abroad, but also from all over Thailand. Thais kinda know or assume that Pattaya is full of dumb farangs that can be scammed, cheated, taken advantage of in some way. That attracts those Thais that are more than willing to use and exploit others for financial gains. From ladyboys that pickpocket or Rob Indians, to barworkers that "love" a dozen different "fiances" from 4 different continents, to shortchanging 7/11 cashiers, which has never happened to me outside of Pattaya.

German Tourist Heartbroken as Thailand Trip Axed
Doesn't this depend on your ticket? If you book a refundable flight wouldn't you be able to get a refund. If you booked a flight that allows rescheduling, I assume you would be able to fly on a later date.

Thailand Offers Visa Amnesty for Stranded Foreign Nationals
They really love these letters from embassies. When you have a new passport issued by your embassy, you also need a letter from that same embassy stating that they issued you that new passport. Your new passport might be a forgery, but if you are able to forge a passport, you are certainly able to forge a letter saying that your passport is not a forgery. The guiding principle seems to be to make life unnecessarily difficult for folks.

Visa Runs Limited to 2 Under New Thailand Immigration Measures
OK, that makes sense. It's the only really mountainous crossing. I biked that one a few times ages ago. Interesting that it is the only one that allows same day border bounces.

Visa Runs Limited to 2 Under New Thailand Immigration Measures
Landslides?? Where and when? There are like 10 different border crossings at Malay/Thai border, from Sungai Golok, to Sadao, to Satun? All closed because of landslides, really?

Options available if 60 days entry is reduced to 30 days
It can at embassies when applying for visas, but not when entering the country.

Options available if 60 days entry is reduced to 30 days
I have often ask myself this question. Complete history since digitalization, sure. But before that. I spent most of the eighties in Thailand with frequent visa runs to Penang. Would that show up on their screen when they scan my passport. I kinda doubt it , because if it did, with pages and pages of entries, I would get scrutinised more, and I always sail through with no questions asked.

They rarely ask for onward flight even on a VB,at least in Vietnam. Can't speak for departures from other countries. I don't want to generalize, but vietjet asked me only once (out of maybe 6 times I boarded at Tan son nhat for BKK over the last few years) And that one time I pointed to my boxed bicycle as my ticket out, and they accepted that. A friend of mine, who flies back and forth even more often than me, always flies vietjet, says he has never been asked. AirAsia is more likely to ask for it, but, last time, a few months ago, they didn't ask. It's possible that in my case, they are distracted by the huge box, and forget to ask. I am always ready to quickly book a rented onward ticket if they insist.

The Turd That Wouldn’t Leave...

Why don't Jews love Jesus, Mommy?
Kirk and his lovely wife are about as religious as Satan or the antichrist. Their professed religiosity is a money spinning enterprise. If atheism was more profitable they would drop their pseudo religiousness in no time. Almost worse than the orange retard, who saved Christmas, where everybody can see it's all BS. Kirk /Scientology/the moonies etc, it's all a huge scam.

British ASOS Co-Founder’s Ex-Wife Denies Role in Death
But you had no problems living with a confessed murderer.? I would have been out of there immediately.You piss her off, she has you killed next. Or is there any reason to believe she has it in for Scandinavians exclusively?

Cambodia Extends Siem Reap Tax Breaks Amid Tourism Slump
I am so sure to what extent the Khmer fall for the Huns propaganda? The more educated Cambodians probably know what is going on. An engineer told me that even if HS and HM didn't get a single vote, they would still win the election. Cambodia is not North Korea. They have access to western media, and are allowed to travel abroad.

My-First-Time: How much should I charge to work in a bar?
Does the language really matter? Gibberish is best served in a language you don't understand. Unless you are a masochist why would you pay for 30 minutes, or God forbid longer, of inanities of a failed clown.
