So many hate posts; live and let live. Focus on your own lives and not obsess about others.

I am sure they will reserve your seat.

Don't forget that all of us Westerners who have moved to Thailand are migrants as well.

You might find it shocking but your opinion is not the definitive reality that you think it is.

He certainly does; I agree with him 100 %. No place is perfect. But greed and corruption in Phuket is rife.

Dear Buddha, no. Just no.

How has the say we Americans have manifested itself in healthcare and gun deaths ? The population overwhelmingly support better and cheaper healthcare and sensible gun control, but we have yet to get legislation that addresses these issues.

Here are some countries that charge for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) and the typical fees associated with them: 1. Australia: AUD 20 (approximately USD 13) for the ETA. 2. Canada: CAD 7 (approximately USD 5) for the ETA. 3. New Zealand: NZD 12-35 (approximately USD 8-23) for the ETA, depending on the processing option. 4. Turkey: USD 50 for an e-Visa, which functions similarly to an ETA.

Yes, the fee is included in the ticket price; I believe it is now THB 700

The 500 THB tax is included with your ticket price. Here are the taxes, fees and surcharge on my Bangkok to Kula Lumput round-trip flight

I have lived in Thailand 18 years and have never needed a baseball bat to resolve any issues

In what world do you live where a baseball bat resolves this issue ? How is violence the answer at anytime except self defense.?

Plus you avoid the constant Thai attack of taxes.

You complain about socialism but the U.S. system is social security; do you realize the irony. In addition, Harris has never mentioned changing social security. Now, could you please provide a link to her opponents healthcare plan he mentions often ??

If a newly arrived immigrant who often does not speak the same language and most likely no college degree can steal your job, then what type of Job did you have ?

The QR code would be given in the email confirming the completed ETA.

It wasn't given, it was taken from the aboriginies.

I agree that alcohol is the major culprit. I do disagree that individual Americans are any more violent than any other nationality. I and all my U.S. friends do not carry knives or guns. Not sure what Americans you hang around. I do concede (and lament) that the U.S. has too many guns and should regulate their availability.

I think the dead man is unable to learn any more of life's lessons and the man who killed him will be in jail for a ling time, maybe for the rest of his life. Senseless violence fueled by alcohol.

I will not receive the email visa until Monday, the day of my flight.

I am flying to Vietnam out of Don Mueang on Monday and need to print the evisa email; is there a business office or print shop there where I can get a printout ? Thanks in advance.

Once they get your Thai income tax funds, they can start funding e gates for longterm foreign residents. 555
