For a Thai government/military guy, it's not a routine outlay of money, flying all the way to the US and back for a mere 2 week visit. Not sure how much his salary is but recall hearing Prayuth's former salary, as head of the entire Thai Army, was very modest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have traveled to over 50 countries, and Thailand's immigration is second to none when it comes to harassing westerners. ???? Actually I was referring to the western IO 's. So, it seems East ,West, North or South all IO's are the same. No one likes aliens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSA staff is a good example of unprofessionalism. ???? Please be kind to read post #21. This is solid proof of how authentic are some posts here. Is that what BJ and the TH immigration officers should learn? Really, without first hand experience, what some post here are fairy tales. Basically that 'loosing face' syndrome that is oft mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can, although I would expect some wives wouldn't be pleased about it, but that's a different subject. I'm just saying the circumstances and timing is interesting. 1 high viz politico in recent years was in the dock but was given permission to go abroad on leisure travel, and Surprise Surprise, he never came back. Another was under surveillance but managed to escape over the border, right out from under their noses. Sometimes it's easier this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddox41 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Thats funny he can't speak a word of English? And to go on a Holiday to America. He isn't gone yet there is a reason why he's been put where he is ?? Hell have a second coming standing next to the Rooster it's amusing that he may well be with the PM with his corrupt cronies as the say can't beat them join them.

CMNightRider Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 6 hours ago, Kasset Tak said: Well, my Thai friend was not approved for a visa to US when he wanted to go and visit his sister (naturalized US citizen), the US embassy sited not enough money and the likelihood of my friend going to US to work as the reason... My friend only had 1million Bath in the bank and his family have 3 businesses, including the largest pig farm in the district, employing about 30 people. So with those strict rules for Thais going to other countries, then I can really understand if the Thai immigration don't allow you in if you can't show that you have 20k Baht for your stay. When my wife applied for her US tourist visa she was given a 10 year visa with no questions asked. At the time, we had been married two years and she had been to several countries in Europe and neighboring countries around Thailand. She was not deemed a flight risk. Evidently, your Thai friend was deemed a flight risk. I suspect he was telling you stories about the money he had in the bank, and his pig farm.
