Navy Wants To Raise Sunken Warship For Return To Service
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thais dont even like living in a house where someone has died let alone sail in a ship that has sunk! -
There is no charge for roaming with a Thai number nor for receiving OTP sms messages....At least not from AIS. I have a dual sim phone so keep my Thai # active in my phone along with my UK sim when in the UK. Or the OP could keep the Thai sim in a different phone. Im told that Kasikorn bank's K+ app. also works while abroad so that could be used for top ups. You needs to check the credit expiry date each time you top up and make sure you top up again before then or you will lose the credit and your Thai sim and number will expire.

Thailand set to start collecting 300 THB tourist fee from June
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
“Fees won’t be collected from foreigners with work permits and border passes,” said Mr Phiphat. What about Expats? What does the re-entry permit fee go towards then? Or rather, who's a r s e does that disappear up? -

It is the head honcho who has probably stopped it, as it doesnt exactly boost popularity does it? Stopped just as this thread will probably soon be stopped...555. -

Not sure what you mean by this. -
“You buffalo!” How this animal became an insult in Thai
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Therefore, buffaloes are often compared to people who submissively follow other people’s orders (what they are taught to do at school), and are often being fooled or taken advantage of." ....Sounds like an accurate description of most Thais working for their Chinese/Thai employers. "buffaloes can be described as kind and loyal to humans, working tirelessly for their owners, people (Thais) tend to regard this kind of behaviour as being stupid." ....Explains everything! And why (most)Thais make notoriously bad employees. -

So what is so bad about that? 555 Seems quite complimentary to me. -
Travel insurance warning after Welshman's motorbike crash
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That sounds very reasonable. Sorry to be a pest but some more detail would be greatly appreciated: 1) Can you simply purchase this add on when you go for your bike's annual tax renewal? 2) Is the insurance document in English or only Thai? 3) How much are you covered for? 4) Do you have to have a Thai driving licence to obtain it? 5) Will they pay out regardless of blame please?

Just as he did not bother to read his insurance policy and assumed he was covered. -

Is this an add on to the insurance you get when you tax it annually, or completely separate insurance that you take out? And how much does it cost please? -
Head of major Russian shipyard dies suddenly, no cause given
SunsetT replied to Scott's topic in World News
No, he was tied to a chair while they did it. -
I didnt say good, I said normal, which was the term you used. . And I meant Thai fast food restaurant food not street food. Ive never tried the train breakfast.
-
Before the ban it was standard Thai fast food that can be bought anywhere. Freshly cooked and decent portions. What is not 'normal' about that?
-
There is a place named Seahaven which sounds perfect for you.

Even worse....A Socialist....555.

Why is Thai immigration so <deleted>ty?
SunsetT replied to gejohesch's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
And because Thailand is so corrupt and the IO is well aware of this, as far as he knows the perfectly legit. visa that you have obtained might be fake. And in the current climate, with the crackdown on so many Chinese entering illegally with fake visas, perhaps all IO's have been instructed to check arrivals more thoroughly; especially those with visas not obtained in their home country. -
I have always had the correct date worked out in my head beforehand and check immediately after entry that it is correct. Over the years I never received an incorrect stamp until just one time, rushing to catch a train, I didnt check it after entering at Nong Khai. And S o d' s law, that was the only time the date stamp was wrong...555.

I never denied that it was a requirement, just that I have never been asked for it, just as many other posters stated was their experience in posts (below) for the links you yourself just provided, if you took the trouble to read them! Are all their experiences incorrect too? ????. Instead of denying reality, Jack needs to take his tunnel-vision blinkers off and, like many Thai immigration officers, learn some Respect! Posted February 20, 2020 Neither have I. I’ve also never been asked to show 20,000 baht, I’ve never been asked if I’m working in Thailand or what my purpose is here. I’ve never been checked by customs in Bangkok, never had my booze limit checked etc... But, these are still requirements - the boarding pass one is new to me, but may be an existing requirement that few IO’s bother with. Peterw42 Hansum, slim and look same young man, member Advanced Member 16817 9526 posts Gender:Male Location:Reclining on the lounge of perpetual indulgence Popular Post Posted February 20, 2020 I usually hang on to boarding pass, at least until I have my bags, as it got reference numbers for your cargo baggage. Never had immigration ask for it
-
???????????? My experience is incorrect is it? So in actual fact I was asked for and showed my boarding pass every time I entered Thailand over the last 16 years without realising it? Were you in the queue behind me every time and made a note of this, or do you perhaps have a network of spies working in all Thai airports? No! That is irrational! Just as to say someone's experience is incorrect is irrational!

"Not interested in your experience." Thats a nice attitude Jack!.....Not interested in my experience? So w t f should we be interested in yours? Your experience is more valid than mine is it? Sounds a bit discriminatory to me. Maybe you look a bit dodgy Jack...555 "The TM6 has nothing to do with boarding pass." Im afraid it does Jack because the TM6 provided all the flight details given on the boarding pass so it was superfluous. And which is why, it appears, some are now being asked for it on arrival. And the OP is indicating that it is becoming an official requirement. The only posters on here I have seen reporting being asked for their boarding pass on arrival have been since the TM6 was discarded. That is why, when I entered at the end of September, for the 1st time ever, I had my BP ready to show, but I was not asked for it. But hey you are not interested in my experience are you Jack? But perhaps others might be. And I would be interested to know if others have been asked for their boarding pass on arrival over the years before the abolition of the TM6.
