Take a look at this UK THAI DTA. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a80bddc40f0b623026953eb/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf

Have a word with the UK PM. He is the son of a tool maker!

"Could have been"! But you don't know and possibly never will?

A totally unnecessary description of a person you don't know, or the circumstances of the overstay. Or is it your go to description of anyone who doesn't fit in with you obviously high and mighty standards?!

Can't argue but may well be true!?

The app keeps records and has done for the past 9 years. Any records are easily downloaded as are statements as required.

Could be funny if it turned to fisty cuffs!

The problem of course is Trump himself. But what would people do if it were no Trump? A personal observation, I think the man is an ignorant fool, but who are his advisors?

A hypothetical question, just asking for a friend you understand? A foreign 'cash' card loaded from a foreign bank, can exchange foreign cash to THB within the app. As a VISA card it can be used to purchase goods and/or services, within Thailand. This means cash is not transferred to a Thai bank via the usual banking methods. As such, do these transactions require to be reported to the TRD, as in most cases it would keep the card holder within the TRD allowances?

Shame!

The seven sisters would be ideal.

Only one thing wrong with you suggestions. Having been around the world a few times in both planes and boats, I never fell off the edge. So, I am always there, some distance away. Somewhere between land or sea I lay. You may move towards me but distant I stay. What am I?

It unfortunately broke when I used it to flatten a ghost!

It was meant be sarcasm. Sorry if I misled you.

Could the Thai computer systems problems be due to Y2K!!?? Just a thought.

They need to have it explained to them in words of one syllable. BUT, having agreed with your explanation, they then carry on as before. Typical Thai.

"The downside today is that few Thais have the language skills to communicate in international forums."...And where to lay the blame for that? Squarely at the feet of successive governments since education became compulsory some 20/30 or so years ago.

You are focusing on a very small proportion of the population. Like any other country, there are those who believe the world owes them a living. Instead of focusing on the general population, try taking a closer look at those who run the country. It is they who set the trends and standards, as is the case with all governments.

You didn't pay until the passport was returned.

I believe the banks do charge when a debit card is produced. Many of the bigger outlets absorb this % charge. Many of the smaller outlets can't afford to do that.

You may be having a problem with Bangkok Bank? I can say however, I have no such problems with my KTB and K bank regarding charges for paying via QR code. Was it the venue or the bank which made the charge?

That would depend on who is writing on the paper, and how the info on the paper is set out?

I wouldn't bank on that. There are ways to get them out, but they are not easy and the British public are not as easily roused as the French.

It wold be very nice if sea food was available in Essan. One day they may discover refrigerated transportation?

Many people have now moved up to Morse Code. It works over longer distances. Wires on poles helps. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
