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

Weak Bhat?! They know how to spin everything. In 2 days they will be complaining how the Bhat is too strong and hurting tourism

Look at him, I'm sure he wasn't too hard to catch

Successful?! Being a farang I was excluded and my wife, Thai, received it the day after. I love how they always pat themselves on the back even when something doesn't work 🤣

My Thai wife got the message Friday (a day late and dollar short 😂), yet I never received it. Did they send it to only Thai registered phone numbers and not farang?

You've been living in Thailand abusing the system and now you wonder if you could be denied. No one knows but the IO, but you're luck is going to run out soon.

So what I read was: Some old Farang that has a “little manhood” complex and thought he was cool, bought a Harley when he came to Thailand even though he’s likely never ridden much in his life. Then as he’s purposely driving in area full of hookers and expats show off and try to look cool likes he’s young and rich, runs into the back of a car and decides to blame the other guy when he clearly has no riding skills and now wants all of us to feel sorry for him. Nope, not happening

I can almost Guarantee they purchased the cheapest travel insurance policy possible, if they purchased one at all. Likely they only had baggage insurance or trip protection with no medical

I always go on vacation and leave my money in my suitcase…NOT

14 hours, that’s what they consider swiftly 🤔

I don’t get the uproar Work illegally and get deported, how hard is it to understand. I get people do it all the time, but if you play with fire you’re going to eventually get burnt and have no one to blame but yourself.

It’s simple, TAT needs to stop focusing on the number of tourists and start focusing on creating a memorable quality experience. If tourist act up, don’t talk about what they might and probably won’t do, enforce the laws, arrest, and deport them!

I’m 100% with you, I see no reason for anyone on a tourist class of Visa, including visa exempt and DTV, to have a bank account. If people tried getting a bank account in other countries on Tourist they would be laughed out of the bank

I had a 90 day rejected due to a 1 night hotel stay locally. CM immigration said I didn’t need one, but I’ve just made it a habit of filling one out online after any nights away. Just makes life easier and I don’t have fight city hall where everyone has a different rule

We have a Winner: The most ridiculous post of the day! Congratulations on having nothing better to do and no common sense

Break the law, do the time. I wish immigration would start doing more of this to teach people that this isn’t a do as you want country without consequences. We all know they won’t because it might harm their stellar reputation 🤣🤣

Who’s to say this is some guy rubbing his wife’s feet and the photo is taken out of context!

I could really care less if I have PR. As a Farang, you will be just as lowly as we are. Frankly, the decision on what I’ll have for dinner is higher up my list than PR would ever be. If this is your life, writing wasteful post, as a “soon to be PR” then you may want to find a hobby to better occupy your time.
