The Mafia taxi service is really suffering now. I am an expat and have been travelling in and out of Thailand for long time. I have heard so many tourists and even my self when I started living in Thailand being ripped off by taxi drivers overcharging even on meter, changing routes and causing more kms on taximeter. The Mafia taxi drivers in Manila-Philippines have been punished as travellers started using Grab rather than taxis now and airport management has designated Grab pick up zone on ground floor. So taxi drivers complaints had been ignored by all parties. Taxi drivers SOLUTION to the problem was to register themselves as Grab taxi driver. Now they have to hunt for travellers from arrival point or become a part of Grab family. I believe Thai Government authorities should ignore their complaints and let them sort out their problem as the Manila airport taxi drivers did. Become a Grab taxi driver. Set your fare online and let the travellers start their holiday stress free. NO MERCY FOR GREEDY TAXI DRIVERS OF BANGKOK

If you let them , they will claim that they will own Thailand, very bad attitude and language used in the argument

All we hear is on arrival visa to drop to 30 days from 60 in the past week but i have not seen the implementation date in any of the news clips or YouTube videos. Does anyone know when they implement it???

OMG, another one beat the dust

Scams

This is first hand info. I lived in Thailand over 15 yrs until covid 19 pandemics but had short trips back home during that time. There is no problem of having medicare card again but when you want to private health insurance like NIB ,HCF or BUPA they contact Medicare and they do some calculations how long Medicare claims have not been made or card used , then they charge you more than anyone who is becoming a new member. I think i pay %2 or 2.5 more. That is all. I hope this helps

Very helpful, instant info WATAWATTANA for my countryman👍

Getting DTV will be easier in neighbouring countries rather than dealing with local Immigration authorities or greedy agents for O, OA Visas. Finally they are making expats life in Thailand strees free. What do you think?

So if you are rich , you get away with murder. I hope they will re open this case and show the world it is not possible to get away with murder in Thailand regardless of how rich you are and sentence the Police Chief- general and others as well I know it is wishful thinking🥴

Guys, we all heard about the mess up 60 days arrival visa. It should been effective from 1 july and i am watching out for anyone to come forward and say " i arrived yesterday and they stamped my passport 60 days" it is the 9th of july today. I appreciate anyone to join the forum and say " yes, I did". Thanks

Do we have to do anything on arrival to obtain this insurance offer by Thailand's Ministry of Tourism and Sports. I appreciate any info from readers who has arrived in Thailand and has this policy. Thanks

When you want to enter to Thailand there is a condition about validity of your passport. All you have to do is ring Thai embassy without giving your name and get the answer. If it is OK then you have plenty of to apply for a new passport in BKK once you get here.
