She probably found out that he'd just left the UK for Thailand, and then cancelled his passport while he was en-route. So it wouldn't have been flagged at Edinburgh check-in. Also. the last time I flew with Qatar my passport WAS checked going though Doha (although that was more than 10 years ago, so perhaps checks are less intense now?) But assuming it was cancelled just before arrival at Phuket then it wouldn't have been flagged anyway.

I didn't get a reminder when mine was due, but remembered and applied within the window. Took a few days longer than usual to approve, but it finally came through on the 6th Nov.

I had recently renewed my passport, AND received a new 1-year extension, so was a little surprised when I was sent an on-line reminder to next renew the 90-day report.. I decided to try, and as expected it was rejected when I submitted... Unexpectedly though, it was subsequently approved (albeit with the old PP number)... But I decided to go to my local Imm office (Rayong) who said I needn't have bothered since the 90d report was fine (..??). They did print me a new receipt with the new PP number, although with the same "next due" date as before, and assured me they'd updated their system to allow me to be able to use the online system with the new PP next time... We will see...!

67 thousand arrival per day is around 200 international flight arrivals per day (of 333 pax per flight). Is there really this number of flights into T/L every day...? I guess so if TAT figures are true...

I did my last 90-day report on-line using my old PP, even though a new PP had been issued (but I hadn't picked it up from the agent)... My next 90-d is due just before my extension expires, so I'll do them together, along with swapping my stamps into the new PP... Kill 3 birds with one stone to avoid multiple trips to my immigration office and save a few 100km trips...

Fortunately most of Thailand is not particularly seismically active, and earthquakes are very rare (other than a few minor shakes). Hardly surprising that it was commented by a Japanese tourist since Japan has perhaps the most earthquakes of any developed country.
