Could be, but knowing Thais they probably could have walked to where they went. but they'd rather risk the lives of their kids than ever walk somewhere.

Bring back tourism posting on here if the thai baht goes down. Tourism is fine here. A lot eye grabbing headlines from Thailand saying tourism is down but if you actually read the story. It's far from down they're doing a lot better than most countries tourism wise.

Bar manager??? Surely he's the owner. it would have <deleted> all to do with the manager. very sus

This quote is wheeled out every Glastonbury. He said it about 5 years ago. trying to imply he's only just said it.

He didn't volunteer to place it through the x-ray, He would have been told to put it through.

"(there were rumors, of which we cannot mention here)" Why the hell not? Jesus!! this isn't the New York Times it's a forum on Asean now. In other words.. there wasn't any rumours. The only suspect was the Japanese man who done a bunk but that isn't a rumour thats a fact.

Pretty sure he's got away with for a fairly long time at 71 i doubt he's started being a mule in the last few years. probably being doing it for decades. So, he had a good run😉

I've heard if they stop you for an offence and they write up a ticket they can't confiscate your bike if you don't have the money on you there and then, and they have to let you go. You're quite in your rights to go to the station on your bike when you have the cash and pay. And the police have no right to detain your bike if you are willing to pay the fine at a later time at a police station. Is this correct?

I wonder if they're on the same timetable as the pink buses..... Turn up when they feel like it!

A lot of Thais need glasses but for some strange reason will be in denial about it. And carry on driving without glasses even though they're blind as bats.

Groundhog day

I could understand if it was a Kasikorn ATM they're useless, always out of money. incredible. they must only put about 5000 in the Kasikorn ATM's

I think it's the EyeWitness Project who are naive to think the tourists getting involved are naive. they know what they're doing. It boils down to one thing GREED!! no naivety involved whatsoever.

Yes, If they got a lot of cash and work as what exactly?

Oh what a surprise! Immigration changing requirements. making it up as they go along as per usual. Although DTV applicants claiming they're spending too much on hotels and are broke while they're waiting for the process is nonsense. they have to be earning big money to get a DTV and have a load in the bank.

So, Just another excuse to stop someone coming in because an IO is having a bad day or they have to fill some quota.

They haven't got any patience on the roads though.

They won't stop till all beautiful landscapes and scenery on the island is covered in concrete

I've always wanted to know.....if they pull a motorbike taxi driver over that has a passenger who isn't wearing a helmet does the passenger get fined or the taxi driver?

Thais don't like snitching??? are you having a laugh. Thais can't wait to grass each other up

100%

I didn't mean you when i said it's nonsense i mean the powers that be who claim it's unlimited via air. It isn't unlimited and it shouldn't matter if you fly in and out the same day. iIt's either unlimited or it isn't(again I'm not aiming this at you but the powers that be) . if you can't fly in and out in a short period of time (btw i haven't done this, I'm just making a point) then they should clarify that. Make the rules clear and concrete. Not this IO discretion BS

Yes. Although they say no limit via air but that is nonsense they question you more at the airport than via land. As soon as you've had more than one via air, they won't let you back in. So, no limit via air is utter BS. they always use the get out clause of 'immigration officer's discretion'.

I know the 60 days waiver is more than likely coming to an end so this slightly irrelevant but when they changed it last July they did say it was unlimited to how many you could do in a year. And I was just wondering how true that turned out to be? Is there anyone on here who has done more than 2 since last July?

I've always found that Thais have very weak immune systems. They always seem to be quick to go to a pharmacy just for a poxy cold. for most westerners i think we will just sit it out and man up. i don't know if that's why they have such weak immune systems? Maybe that's why there are so many pharmacies in Thailand cuz they can't wait to pop some pills for the smallest thing.
