KhunBENQ Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Fr, Dec 27, all day. Flights out of Bangkok already more than double the standard price. (checked on my route) The usual mass exodus, cramped airports and buses. 200 km bumper to bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an ex-policeman UK and very organised; consulting the police web site for all the necessary documents for his journey. He tried Monday; the chief was in Bangkok. He returned Tuesday and experienced utter rudeness, total incomprehension and contrary information to the Central web site. What a shambles this country is when the police are a bye-word for incompetence and corruption! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj Mick Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 16 hours ago, ChipButty said: So in Thailand we have 366 days in the year? As do most other countries and cultures in 2020. It is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, the generally accepted standard for offical purposes around the world. The Chinese and Islamic, Christian and Buddhist communities in Thailand also use variations of lunar calendars to fix some festivals, so there is plenty of choice as to how many days in any one year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren’t comprehending based on your answer. Every four years it's like that ...It's called leap years My answer was any year regardless of whether next year will be leap year ...
