Never had to prove any of those "requirements" in 30 years of coming here. By the way, travel insurance is not mandatory, no idea why you sneaked it into your list!

Easy...Visa Exempt if she didn't have a tourist visa. Cash and return tickets are very rarely checked by Immigration.

Clearly your paramedic background wasn't complete.

Did you not read the OP describing how a six-year old did "drop dead"?

I think many of us know why, but we're now allowed to say here... Yes, you are. Spit it out.

Obviously, healthy 6-yr olds would not. That he may have had a heart attack suggests that he wasn't healthy.

They can, heart attacks can occur at any age.

You could do a lot worse.

"Within seven days, she managed to secure US$650 and embarked on a career as a hairstylist, finding success and acceptance within her newfound community". Hairdressing must have been removed from the list of protected occupations just for her.

I doubt that anyone is unaware of that after so many years.

Barbers/hairdressers were not all closed down for the entirety of the pandemic!

What makes you think that 50m tourists are going to be claiming? It's not a handout that all tourists register for on arrival.

Never too old to get a Tourist Visa. VE is not a Tourist Visa, nor any type of visa, it's a visa exemption.

My guess would be that a Tourist Visa would be needed for a visa to qualify as a Tourist Visa. How else could a Tourist Visa be defined? Cover will be provided whilst the tourist is in Thailand being a tourist as no length of stay restrictions were mentioned.

"... 50 million baht (US$1.38)". Injured tourists should ensure that they claim in THB, not USD, then.

Thanks LL, for asking. If true then someone is in violation for some time. It is not true.

Ridiculous. 35 million tourists will not be claiming reimbursement!

B0llocks.

Depends what started the "flying".

You're saying that "international human rights" dictates that tourists killed or injured, anywhere in the world, have medical costs covered (up to a certain amount) and compensation mandated by international law? Could you be more specific with that claim and, perhaps, show something to back it up?

Carrying legitimate cash of any amount is not illegal so why would anyone worry about "being caught"?

He's been regularly carrying over $25,000 worth of bundles of cash out of his own country that he does not declare and has never been questioned about it despite cash-sniffing dogs being used for years and anti-money laundering processes being in place? Then he's been doing the same thing regularly for fifteen years when entering Thailand? Seems so unlikely.

It has been confirmed numerous times that there will not be three weeks of water throwing, 13th-16th are the official Songkran days.

Krungthai doesn't like Bitdefender, either, have to turn it off to use their app.

In my dealings with Bangkok Bank , which are extensive , I would not believe anything they told me about something they probably know nothing about. My experience is the exact opposite, but you believe what you want - I was addressing the OP.
