Not the sharpest tool in the box. What kind of idiot leaves that much money unattended?

Where in the article did it mention charging more for talls and fatties ?

Seriously, are you really that naive? It's only ever about making more money.

Thai passport holders are exempt? Thankfully my wife & kids can travel from the UK on their Thai passports.

No worries, her holiday insurance will pay for it.

Many of the soft touch freeloader that you refer to, are genuine refugees who find themselves and families in a very dangerous life situations in their home countries - through no fault of their own. They are not all losers and many have skills they bring with them. You sound heartless with a 'I'm ok Jack - F the rest' . Your ostrich approach to life is abysmal >>>>  Quote:...... 'nothing to do with us' !! Well Hitler had nothing to do with me BUT I hate him and his memory. If you live in Thailand at the moment, and you are OK with a change in the balance of the population to Chinese well 'up to you'. You'd change your mind if 9/10 of your condo building became Chinese.

The illegal immigrants that are coming to Britain from France aren't refugees, they are economic migrants who should be sent back to France asap.

Are you saying that vaccines do not provide any protection against covid?

Correct, which is why the "vaccinated" seem to suffer worse when they catch it.

They are your kids also, you don't need their mothers permission to take them anywhere. Do the kids have your name and dual nationality?

Feel free to explain the logic of importing covid free tourists and a covid boom

You do realise that you can take 10 corona virus tests and have a mixture of negative & positive results in those 10 tests?

Until Thai logic kicks in and prices are doubled, if not trebled, overnight to make up for the money they've missed out.

How did they know they had UK passports? As I wrote before a person should never show immigration the other passport.

Immigration cannot deny entry to a Thai national and that is stated in the constitution.

Because the immigration officer told us that they know what passport every passenger checks in with in their home country. The plan had been to check in at Edinburgh on their UK passports and then enter and leave on their Thai passports and re-enter the UK on their UK passports, I posted all about this when it happened, I think it's more down to what immigration officer you get, some haven't a clue and some do. We're going back in July and my wife and kids will be on new Thai passports from London but this time they will travel both ways on their Thai passports and show their UK passports at check-in at Bangkok for the flight home.

Be prepared for lots of questions and blank stares. My wife (Thai) and 2 kids (Dual nationality) were all refused entry in to Thailand with new Thai passports issued in London and had to enter Thailand on their UK passports, immigration told my wife to her face that she would not be admitted on her Thai passport.

There seems to be a pattern forming here, start phoning the police or stop moaning.

Never had that experience, and this is the first I have ever heard of anyone having it; either from posts in forums such as this or from the many dual Thai/British citizens I know personally.

 

So it seems it's not a case of me, or rather my wife and daughter, being lucky; it's a case of your wife being unlucky for some reason.

 

Did Thai immigration ever say why they were forcing a Thai national to use a foreign passport to enter Thailand? They can't legally refuse entry to, or impose entry conditions on, a Thai national. Indeed, they should allow unconditional entry even if the Thai passport has expired.

 

How did they even know that your wife held dual nationality and had left the UK on her British passport?

 

After all, the UK does not stamp passports on exit so neither passport would have a UK exit stamp in it, and surely she did what my wife, daughter and all the other dual nationals we know do and simply presented the relevant passport to immigration on entry; Thai one when entering Thailand, British one when entering the UK.

 

No immigration officer anywhere has ever asked my wife or daughter if they hold another nationality and passport when entering. Neither have they ever checked in any of our passports for entry or exit stamps from other countries. They simply look at the ID page to check the passport belongs to the person presenting it and is still valid and, if one is required, there is a valid visa.

The last time they were refused entry on their Thai passports the immigration office said it was because they had travelled on their UK passports and so had to enter Thailand on their UK passports, so it seems Thai immigration know what passport you are traveling on BEFORE you reach Thailand. I'm not the smallest or quietest guy but it took all of my will power to bite my tongue and let my wife deal with it.
