So much of a priority is placed on tourism right now (rich people preferred) because other areas of the economy are failing. Time to bring in casinos, easy cash. It speaks to the failure of the ruling class to actually consider a long term economic plan that will compete with neighbouring countries. Thialand wants to be the "hub" of pretty much anything you can imagine. Not going to happen. They will continue to import more and more chinese products and grind down thier own production. It's not enough to ban the chinese import of elephant pants. good grief! oiiii, sad state of affairs.

Thanks Dr. Jack!

Suvarnabhumi airport. Thanks!

I'm here on a Non-Imm O "retierment" visa. I will leave the country the end of June. I'm not sure of my return date so I booked a one way ticket. I see on the T8 form I need to enter my return date .. actually it says "and shall return into Thailand about...". So apparenty no exact date needed. I am wondering how much leeway they will allow? If I miss my stated return date by two weeks or a month, will they void my visa? Has anyone here dealt with this before? Thanks! btw...I'm planning to get the permit at the airport.

sorry..missed that part

ok, so a work permit

Would like to hear more about how you managed to do that. Thanks!

It really is interesting to follow, a real life Thai soap opera. Is he another "Serpico"? Considering the nature of the RTP it's hard to believe he could acheive that rank without getting his hands dirty. This case could bring down some high ranking officers (maybe) so they want to take him out first. It makes me think of the Thai guy who "exposed" corruption on a regular basis. Turns out he was a memeber of a big extortion gang. Sheesh! Anyway, can hardly wait for the next episode.🙂

A sad attempt to justify the genocide of innocent Palestinians

I'll take cats any day over evil soi dogs 555, no really.

Always best to provide as many details as possible if you want the best information based on the experience of others on this forum.

So much of you say is nonsense. It's sad you even get a forum to promote such crap. The thing about travelling to a foreign country is accepting their rules. Don't like it? ..Stay home.

Nice way to engage with us. You should have just said F**K You! I think you will find people here willing to help without insulting them right from the start.

omg .. i dropped off for a couple of days .... I can't keep up now. Take a breath, it will all be sorted out. I hope.

Your posts are a great help, can't say enough how much I appreciate your efforts
