Almost Refused Entry at Chiang Mai Airport -Be Warned! - 2nd Visa Exemption
Where the "rule" is - pay through their agent-partners, and make all the visa-exempt entries you want - no problem. They make a joke of their system with inconsistency / "crackdowns" and paperwork / "requirements" change-ups - all designed only to line their pockets. All is done right out in the open, with agents advertising their services. And yet, some farangs defend what they are doing as "enforcing the rules"? Life is easier here after accepting that things here are not the same here as in our passport-countries. Corruption rules the roost, and everything done is to preserve that corruption. I'm doing it "legit" on retirement for as long as I can - but always fully prepared I may have to pay an agent the next year, if they "change" something to force this. -

Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
your making a false comparison.....Yes, the Louvre is planning a higher fee for non-EU visitors in 2026, but the difference is small—only about €3–€8 more than EU citizens. It's nothing like Thailand's dual pricing, where foreigners often pay 400–1000% more. Also, many EU museums are free or low-cost for everyone, regardless of nationality. I can't find any examples in Italy - i used to be a regular visitor to both France and Italy and their museums and cultrural sites -

Immigration Anutin Proposes New Immigration Department to Streamline Border Services
Sounds like a good idea if I am reading it correctly. It seems like they are creating am Immigration Department within the Ministry of the Interior? If so it could be more efficient. Its tough for me to comment in an educated fashion since, unlike you expert commentators above, I dont speak Thai and am not familiar with the intricacies of the Thai Ministry of the Interior so I wouldnt even be able to read a flow chart of the various responsibilities like you guys. How are the Immigration matters assigned or controlled now? How will the reorganization plan affect day to day operations? You experts on the Thai government should know. -

Almost Refused Entry at Chiang Mai Airport -Be Warned! - 2nd Visa Exemption
You want me to do the google-search on this site for you? Choose to believe what you want - I've been reading such reports here for years - since before the name of the site changed. And, no, as in the victim tried to present the stated requirements for entry (20K Baht, hotel-booking, flight-out), and the IO literally waived it away - as in waived their hand "shoo shooo." Then, they told the person they were not allowing them to enter, because they "come too much" - and then, stamped a different reason (lie) in their passport as the "official" reason for denying entry - "not having money" - after refusing to look at / count the money presented. -
