For longer periods of stay they have to apply for appropriate visas at the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Bangkok. And quite honestly other than those with their snouts in the trough how many Thai's travel to Russia, Europe etc etc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think JFK was assassinated, he wanted to scale back global conflict and that didnt suit those elite that benefit from these wars yet most Americans are completely unaware of this. The CIA, MI6, Bush & Blair should be held accountable for the Iraq invasion on a knowing lie which totally destabilised the Middle East. CIA created al qaeda, Isis and so on yet it back fired on them & Putin needs to be hobbled at the neck! Its a very sad world we live in full of egotistical selfish people who gain enormous wealth at the expense of the masses, Thailand included!

hotchilli Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 3 hours ago, ningnong said: Judging by comments on that topic "Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism" you aren't alone in incorrectly assuming that the intention is to lower tourist numbers. Just another clever Thaiger headline to generate a lot of comments. Since you asked, here are the key points of that topic: 'major tourist destinations like Phuket, Samui, and Pattaya are on the brink of over-tourism' '..a key strategy could be to divert tourists from these hubs to the country’s secondary cities.' 'The additional revenue could be used to develop infrastructure in second-tier provinces, attract tourists away from overcrowded locations, and enhance attractions that have deteriorated due to over-tourism' So they want to tax tourists to raise revenue to build things that they can come and look at...

ALL visa exemption into Thailand should be under a Bilateral Agreement with reciprocity for Thai nationals. My wife has had to pay out 10K baht in order to leave the country for UK and Europe yet some Brits and Europeans, along with others, think they can traverse the globe unimpeded with their better than thou attitude. They come to Thailand with 30 days for free and low cost option to extend, they try and circumvent the scheme regulations then start whinging at the suggestion of a 300 baht tourist tax, quite unbelievable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andycoops Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 Lunacy, they are already causing major problems along with their corrupt commie brothers from Peking. But of course the Thai only looks at tourist numbers not what they spend and if they are spending on condos it's with illegal gains. But of course the Muppets, unelected, running the government are of course blind to this because of their own incompetence. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
