Has Thailand changed this rule . Also as the sign is written in English and he appears to be at an airport. The sign is aimed at English speaking Tourists not local people It would be interesting to know about this allegation that Thais stole ALL his money. Does he mean it was physically stolen from him or was he a victim of a scam or his own stupidity here ? But more likely he got involved with a Bar girl ( and her pimp / husband ) If it was stolen and reported to the police then I am sure his embassy would assist him getting home, but if he was scammed he is on his own I know with the British Embassy they will not give you money or even a loan but they will contact someone in your own country to help and arrange for them to send money to you. You say his sign is in English so he's not trying to inform/ask help from local people(Thai) . Maybe he is asking help from afluent Thai who have money and speak/read English. I have written many times that several of the Malls in Bangkok (Central Lad Prao--The Mall Ngam Wong Wan, ect ) have movie theatres playing movies only in English , no Thai subtitles so all the Thai going there speak/read English.

I would buy that straw hat, put it on my dog's head, shave his a** and make him walking reverse, if I could develop a feeling and would find any reason why to help him.

paulikens Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 more than likely he gave 50000bt to a thai girl,makes me laugh the amount of blokes that say a thai woman has robbed them,when they have handed over the cash,as far as i know no thai woman has held a knife to the throat to any of these blokes,all you gotta to do is quite simple.... when they ask for cash you say NO!!

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app The UK State pension is a joke - land fit for heroes, pauper heroes, or at least their offspring. Wait till the next big crisis comes up. I have serious doubts if that well-spring that took us through WW1 and WW2 even still exists. Hopefully, there's been enough inbreeding to ensure a core of moral strength. On the other hand, I'm encouraged by the way foreigners adopt British culture, almost against their will. Like,I used to work with Muslim girls and they were so British ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The embassy will provide help: they will try to contact your family for instance or act as negotiater/mediator. But they won't borrow you money for a ticket or hospital bill. That's your own responsibility. I vaguely remember a Dutch interview ablut the embassy helping people get back in the past but more than once getting their money back was rather difficult... and if these people default on their small loan it costs the taxpayer money. The embassy is not a charity organisation. Edited October 4, 2018 by Donutz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaak327 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 On 10/3/2018 at 3:28 PM, Tony125 said: For your information (and Thian's ) if you have a tourist visa from a Thai Consulate or Embassy you do not have to show tickets exiting the country. If you come in on a visa exempt you have to show a ticket leaving the country within 30 days or extend the visa exempt at immigration. Some airlines will not let you board the plane without a valid visa. Further to this, many people don't even arrive by air, they arrive at land borders, which Thailand actually has quite a few off. In fact, I have entered Thailand by land more often than by air, and I have never been asked to show a ticket home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I love it when some blokes hand over all their money (buying land, house, car, etc.) to some lady they've recently met here and then cry "she/they took all my money". Not saying that this is the case with this Dutch fellow, but it wouldn't surprise me one little but if it were in fact the case. I've had the misfortune of meeting a few of these foreign men here over the years. Same story every time. Hope the Dutch pensioner manages to get home safely.
