parallelman Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Well, I didn't come to Thailand for the same reason as this guy (a long time ago) so difficult to say if I would do under today's conditions. But no matter where one goes it is just swapping one set of problems for another set and whether one can adapt. I wish him well but 'rose tinted glasses' usually fade...wonder if he driving around yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey and the Bandit Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 "The 22 year old London-born receptionist booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, at the beginning of the year, revealing plans to tour Thailand for a few months before finding somewhere to settle down. " I thought check in staff, in London, would ask for a return ticket, or at least a ticket out of Thailand, ditto immigration in Thailand?🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, what to do for money ,obviously has zero savings, any form of health insurance would eat into anything he might have,how will he work here, how to pay for whatever visa just lets you plonk youself down here forever and a day and broadcast the fact on some 2 bit social media site. Absolute tosser....... Give him a chance... In a few months/weeks, once he's learnt how to apply lippy, eyeliner and false eyelashes you may see him hanging out around Soi 4. Not saying he'll make much income but at least he's trying. (VERY TRYING!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrwest Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 20 hours ago, Sheryl said: How could a UK citizen (native born) come here on refugee status? Obviously not. And further Thsiland is not a signatory to the convention on refugees so no protections and certainly no support for coming here as a refugee. Presumably he entered either visa exempt or on TV. And indeed he needs to find a job. Yes, I had flashing lights appearing from the get go in coming to Thailand on a one way ticket … no doubt, we are not given the complete story. As written, I cannot understand how it would be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 20 minutes ago, Smokey and the Bandit said: I thought check in staff, in London, would ask for a return ticket, or at least a ticket out of Thailand, ditto immigration in Thailand?🙄 There's a $30 fix for that. Buy an onward ticket. Even a throwaway. Hardly a deal killer, even if the airline demands an onward ticket. And not all of them do. Neither does immigration for the vast majority of entries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
