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.

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.

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.

Is yagoda the latest reincarnation of Susan something? Haven't heard from that fascist loon in a while.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Is sushi safe?

It can at embassies when applying for visas, but not when entering the country.

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.

Is your post to be taken literally or metaphorically? You are really taking about Trump, aren't you? No toilet big enough to flush that turd.

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.

Depression doesn't spare the well off.

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?

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.

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.

A sarcastic, eloquent fascist from California. So a hybrid of Mussolini and Goebbels. That's a rarity over at the West Coast.

That is surprising. I thought the Vietnamese were big beef (the famous Pho is almost always with beef) and chicken eaters, not so much pork.

Amazon cafe Cambodia is still operating, but with virtually no business at all. Spent an hour in an Amazon in Phnom Penh a few days ago, and, other than me, there was not a single customer. Asked the barista, and he answered in one word "BOYCOTT" How can they survive?

"The DOW the, the Dow is over 50000, over 50000.DJT is the greatest president ever" that's how Pam explains everything.

Unless the orange retards pardons them.

He wasn't able to refuse, gimme a break. Was it some kind of giant supermasculine Amazon, and Bennieboy was some scrawny, anorexic wimp?
