Popular Post Posted 15 hours ago The Ministry of Interior will press additional charges against the Swiss national who allegedly kicked a female Thai doctor ALLEGEDLY. until he is found guilty, or not?

You really shouldn't give them ideas?

I thought cannabis was legal in Thailand? Or did you mean Singapore?

30 Kg, that would be a bit painful?🙄

Right, compared with Changi which has a spectacular 40-meter-tall (around 130 feet) indoor waterfall, a butterfly garden and an IMAX cinema – not to mention more than 280 retail and dining outlets, perfect for killing time during a layover.

"The 22 year old London-born receptionist booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, at the beginning of the year, revealing plans to tour Thailand for a few months before finding somewhere to settle down. " I thought check in staff, in London, would ask for a return ticket, or at least a ticket out of Thailand, ditto immigration in Thailand?🙄

Not at all, its a very valid point!

Don't the Filipinos need a work permit??🤭

Yes the 90 day report is free, but if a TM30 is required and you don't have one, there is a fine?

Sadly some folks believe, incorrectly, they have to!

No, that is not accurate.....: the OP said: "I walked him over to Starbucks and offered him 100 baht to buy a coffee" There is a difference!

You are missing the point!!🙄

I believe it was sarcastic humor, with an emphasis on the humor, made me smile!

Fully agree, but you are comparing apples and oranges! However to be fair even countries like the USA and the UK have long wait times. Try going thru Chicago o Hare, or LAX its not good!

Right, so as most people carry a cellphone/smartphone with them, especially when traveling, will they get banned? If so, that will cause a huge problem?

"While AI creators continue to refine their models to handle ethically and socially sensitive queries more effectively, critics remain skeptical of the technology's ability to fully comprehend nuanced contexts and navigate complex ethical considerations. As AI systems evolve, they must contend with the inherent values embedded within them and navigate the diverse range of perspectives and expectations from users and stakeholders. " I wonder if they speak English???

Surely the only way to know if the hotel is doing a good or bad job job, is to encourage reviews, good or bad, then if bad ask how they can improve? No hotel gets it right 100% of the time?

Totally agree with you, but I am assuming you are not Thai?🙄 Criticism should be welcomed, good or bad?

I though it was buy one get one free?

I used an agency to renew, just before Christmas and it took 2 weeks, that was from the time I dropped it off to the time i got the new one back!

Fully agree. Normally all airlines state that safety is their number one priority, which makes sense. Having this guy in an enclosed space for 11 hours, not knowing what he was going to do next must have made all the cabin crew nervous. As this was a long haul flight the aircraft would have had a full loads of fuel, which would have needed dumping before returning to Bangkok, which would be very expensive, but they , Thai Airlines, could have given the Brit the bill!

The captain should have returned the aircraft to Bangkok and the guy would have been arrested there.

Quite so, don't they usually have security at these condos, or were they asleep?

If people make it thru to immigration control that are on overstay and have enough money to pay the fine and a ticket out of Thailand, they 'should' be OK to leave?

But how do the cops find out which people are on overstay, surely they don't just stop random folks and check their passports? Do the check in staff have a hand in this?
