Thailand Introduces Online TM6 as Tourism Fee Faces Delays
The form is the norm these days but in Thailand's case it's also the precursor to the tourist fee. Let's hop the website/app is more friendly than some others. Indonesia is a pain to say the least. Also would be useful if you could opt to retain info for your next visit or dare I say if Countries had common questions that you could prefill before their "special local" questions -

€100,000 reward offered in Dutchman’s mysterious death in Phuket
There is precedent. Long timers here may remember the case, ironically also involving a Dutch victim. The victim came to Pattaya at the Millennium as a young man and quickly made a fortune. In 2000, local internet access was scarce and expensive and there was no easy access to home country news. He had the idea to get the rights to publish several UK and other newspaper main pages locally on the day of publication and sell them on newstands in Bangkok & Pattaya. It was a huge success. He made several other successful investments and was soon, the wealthiest expat in Pattaya. He had married a beautiful Thai girl and they built a huge mansion and both drove matching Mercedes. Everything was perfect, until it wasn't. His body was found bludgeoned in a field, half burned. Though sensational, the case was not solved, nobody was charged. The grieving wife collected millions of insurance Baht. It faded away. It didn't fade away for the victims family in Holland. They were relentless, pushing the Dutch Government to pressure the Thai Government into re-opening the investigation. Finally, a personal visit by members of the Dutch Royal Family to the Thai Royal Family during which the Dutch Royals brought the issue up with the Thai Royals resulted in the case being re-opened with a lot of money behind it. A couple of key confessions were obtained and it was discovered that the perfect wife had a scumbucket Thai boyfriend on the side. They lured the victim to the murder location and her uncle and boyfriend beat him to death. The wife was arrested, tried and finally, more than ten years after the murder was sentenced to life in prison. -
