Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
In many years I have been pax on 2 flights cancelled after stamping out of Thailand and leading to another night stay One this year In both cases there was some delay immigration delay, but no talk of passport confiscation. Did not make big news but Asiana handled it brilliantly, A serious engine problem. https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-industry/2025/01/25/54VSPLGROVDS7IKFQ3ZOY5OGS4/ Thai Immigration Police do not provide a new entrance stamp, They void your exit stamp! This happened years ago at BKK airport also and in another country. If his voiding was on ones last day of Permit to Stay would it not attract on OVERSTAY stamp and fine?

Welshman Heads Home After Medical Emergency in Thailand
I don't purchase travel insurance, I already have insurance. Thailand is out of Network, no direct billing but no exclusions. Must apply for reimbursement with receipts. Self pay with cash or credit cards so I guess it wont help begpackers with no ample cash or credit cards. During Covid when travel insurance was required I purchased a full year of SafertyWing. I read the policy very carefully. Many exclusions. And no it does not pay for a private jet to fly you back to your country.

Trump just made an idiot move
Hate or love Trump he does not have creativity to write that. A birthday card written like a screenplay in the third person? Reads nothing like his thousands of posts and doubt he even knows what an enigma is . Another hoax

Thailand Delays Tourist Entry Fee Amid Travel Concerns
Is this exit tax actually a passenger facility use fee that is applied to all not just foreign tourists?

Thailand Delays Tourist Entry Fee Amid Travel Concerns
Ticketing system challenge to discriminate base on nationality or visa status? Will the fee apply to all Aliens? They could put it on the TDAC arrival card. Surely a country of 70 million people can mount an online platform that accepts credit card payments?

Buy a condo, no visa needed?
No, he is confused or has been duped. Now if he has already One Million US dollars and other qualifications AND buys a USD 500,000 property in Thailand he could qualify as a Wealthy Global person under the LTR visa scheme.

Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
I just used the TDAC time, had QR ready but was never asked. Just showed the lady my re-entry permit. I put the number on my extension in the visa section. Maybe incorrect to do that In a way airport staff on arrival were not doing much to guide people Saw two couples of Chinese sent away from my line , to the Visa on Arrival line, they were clueless. Other tourist looking people from were sent to the TDAC kiosks, obviously they had not done it.

Please recommend some Pattaya condominium
There is no such language as ”Indian” Einstein, and when getting specific about Chinese 7 to 10 major dialects.

Please recommend some Pattaya condominium
I'm still following but my time horizon is in flux After many discussions, mostly with myself, I am going to transition the status of a renter, at least for a couple years. Something I have never liked being but age and the apparent instability of The Nation has convinced me it is not time to make another large investment in Thailand.

WARNING FAKE TDAC WEBSITE
Last time I went to Taiwan I was led to one of these sites by Google. They probably claim they provide a legitimate service. Charging for something that is simple and free and no doubt harvesting and selling personal details, vile scammers.

Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
I'm surprised they provide foreigners driving licenses at all as it hurts Thai employment If every single place you go you could be paying for a taxi, or at least buy your Thai girlfriend a car A job killer.

Whats the point of the morning and afternoon alcohol law?
Then it shows this "who" holding the power is impotent. Available just about anywhere at all hours a mom and pop, the thousands of minimarts in every almost lodge and guest house, underground drinking spots which were going even during covis "lockdown"

Why are there no fat cows in Thailand?
Hormones in US beef yes, and dairy. More important are genetics and life cycle/feed management.

The Most Difficult Airline Passenger Ever?
el Diablo de drogas (of some kind) I don't understand why the Police took her down to the ramp just to kick her out of the airport but it appeared she thought she was going to be arrested, but at that point they were only removing her from the terminal. Then she freaked out and ran for it
