It's been like that since November 2007.

It takes no extra time, press a taster with both index fingers while officer is stamping your passport.

I think he is only referring to transiting. I wasn't fingerprinted transiting NRT 4 weeks ago.

The Australian book? Wasn't that bloke pardoned a few weeks ago?

Better never go Singapore, ฿12.000 per pack fine. 600 you go jail or big fine pal.

What I can't understand is why they would leave the stuff behind in the first place when they were going to make a claim for its loss. I could understand it if they had sold it to someone before they left. Were they planning on returning to Thailand to retrieve the stuff later?

According to the story I read the CM police came the same day they called (22/3). The pair were still in the hotel room with the 'stolen' goods.

It is a common scam, usually they split up with one person traveling ahead with the property before a claim is filed. Probably too much lao khao to think straight.

Lost it where? In a taxi?

Let's not be too cynical here. Have they looked under the sofa? Top of the wardrobe? I often hide large sums of cash and forget about it only to find it later, to my great delight!

Buffalo ate it.
