It's not illegal to bring a drone into the country, so customs could care less. It's illegal to operate one without both licences and the required insurance.

So they had a meeting and now all of a sudden the entire country is going to flock here. Within a week I guarantee they will be complaining about how the numbers are low etc etc

In all my years living here, i don't know why I'm still shocked how the left hand doesn't talk to the right hand. TAT: We have no tourist, people aren't spending money, we need more people our numbers are down AOT/CAAT: Let's raise fees for tourist coming to Thailand It's like watching a really poorly written comedy show

You just can't fix stupid, can you! Hope they enjoy their long visa free holiday vacation.

I've got an idea, how about they just deny entry to those with a history of visa runs and they wouldn't need to worry about this.

There's SO much more to this story

Not sure why everyone is up in arms, I don't see this as a bad thing at all. Actually, for those of us that live here long term, we should look at it as a positive. We all know that going to the DLT for renewals can be a headache and the place is packed with Tourist. In some cases you can't get an appointment for months. With this change we should see that greatly reduced. be eliminating all the tourist who read on the internet how easy it is to get a Thai license, but don't need one and only do it to look cool to their friends back home after holiday. The license from their country, with an IDP will work fine and is valid for the 60 days they currently get on visa exempt. I'm taking this as a win

I rarely make transactions greater than 50k, but it is a bit frustrating that if I want to walk into a store, buy a large TV as an example I can no longer do it with my SCB or Kbank accounts. While I understand UOB and BB don't have these restrictions, the question is , is it just a matter of time before they do?! I've seen many say "What's the Fuss", the fuss is the point it's my money and if I'm willing to sign a waiver, like I did before, to make "large" transactions, then I accept the risk.

I've never understood why every tourist decides that Thailand should be their kindergarten for motorcycle/scooter riding...smh

Just another moron that's arguing over 21฿ Track her down and deport her on the basis of being an idiot!

Cry me a river, if they are out of money then they can't afford to be here anyway.

Can I please get a refund for the wasted time reading this hard to read ridiculous article which said nothing ?!

So someone googled "Thai Restaurants near me" and now she's going to had over 5 Bhat stickers to put in their windows even though she's never tasted the food to certify them them as authentic...lol

So instead of taking him into custody at immigration as he tried to clear, they admitted him and notified local police stationed at the airport who then arrested him. What a stupid thing to celebrate, any other country would have taken him into custody at the immigration booth

Other countries are loosing rules and allowing more, but of course Thailand has it ass backwards again and wants to tighten rule. How about they tighten rules on all the idiots they let into the country
