I'm leaving Thailand on a non imm B and going to get a tourist visa from Vientiene. Question is, will they ask for my air ticket out of Thailand? (will be leaving early May). I don't have it yet, should I buy it before I go to Laos.

Cheers

I was there and had a double entry tourist visa issued 1st September with no request for that kind of documentation. Didn't see anyone else asked either.

Obviously this is just one report, don't sue me if they do ask!

Anyone know if it is easy to buy a ticket out of bkk whilst in vienitene? Air Asia or tiger to kl or sing just in case I get asked for one I will need to spend another day there and buy a ticket to show them. I have a yellow house book, that should exempt me from showing accommodation bookings?

I think it should be fine without ticket, but look that you can show at least 20.000 Baht for a Tourist Visa entry.

Can also be a Bankbook just updated.You can, if necessary book a flight in The Internet with www.airasia.com or other arline. print the page and back to the Thai Embassy, should they ask.

So, just look for a Internetcoffee-shop with a printer.

Or take a ticket,also a more expensive one which you can cancel without paying a fine or nearly no fine.

As a single entry tourist visa base price is 1,000 baht do not believe a two entry was sold for 1,900 baht.

I posted incorrectly saying 1900. As per my passport, I was issued a category TR 2 entry visa at the VTE consulate on 11/07/11 for Bt2000.

Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane/Laos still not asked for additional documents, however they will review your passport to see if you are a real Tourist or not.

It looks like that the number of previous thai visas in your passport should not exceed 3.

Just got back. All went smoothly, I wasn't asked for any air tickets. I have a son here and am divorced but as I didn't have the required 400k in the bank just went for a tourist visa. the girl there asked where I was staying and as I have a yellow book put down that address which is our old family home so I said I was staying with my family. She then asked if I had the papaerwork for marriage and said I was divorced. "OK, you have the paperwork of your son?" "Yes". "Ok, you get Non O". No questions about finances but did show a bank statement showing 150k in the bank.

Good result for me.

      Bangkok’s Roads Are a Bloody Joke Now — Mates, It’s a Crime Scene Out There

      Lads, can someone tell me when exactly Bangkok’s roads turned into a warzone? No, seriously, when did the streets go from smooth silk to pothole bingo? Used to be, ten years back, I’d take the harken Fireblade out late at night, Bangkok all lit up, cool breeze, empty streets, mate, it was high-speed poetry. Proper freedom. You could tear it up from World Trade to Bang Na, lean into the corners like Rossi, not a care in the world. Midnight Bangkok on two wheels? Pure bliss. Now? All you got left is Rama 9 and Vibhivadee, barely. Otherwise, it's like riding through a scrapyard blindfolded. Every single road’s been dug up, patched, dug up again, patched again, repeat that about fifty times, but no one ever bothered to actually repave the thing. It’s just holes patched with more holes. You’re not riding anymore, you’re surviving. Suspension’s screaming, rims getting buckled, and don’t get me started on the manhole covers sitting two inches above the tarmac like they’re out here doing parkour. I don’t know who’s running the show, BMA and city planning must’ve been handed over to someone’s cousin’s mate who’s never seen a road in his life. Used to be you could cruise at 3 AM, nothing but you, the hum of the engine, and the city lights stretching ahead like a runway. Now? Every hundred meters there’s a trench like they’re about to lay fiber optics straight to the center of the Earth. What happened to the pride in the roads, eh? Thailand’s got some of the craziest bikers in the world as it is and now they’re stuck dodging potholes like playing hopscotch on acid. It’s embarrassing. The bikes deserve better, we deserve better. Bangkok used to be a nighttime playground for riders, now it’s a demolition derby for scooters with bald tires. I swear, if I hit one more raised drain cover, I’m writing a strongly worded letter to someone’s mum. Sort it out, Bangkok.

      Ubon Ratchathani Woman Arrested Over Fake News on Thai-Cambodian Border

      Picture courtesy of Thai Rath Cyber police have detained a woman from Ubon Ratchathani for disseminating fake news about tensions on the Thai-Cambodian border, causing public alarm. At a press conference on 9th June 2025, police revealed that a Facebook user, "Lucky Farm," posted false information regarding border disputes, claiming explosions and military casualties which led to evacuation orders. These claims, while untrue, had garnered significant attention and could potentially threaten national security. The investigation, led by Police Colonel Arunphan Vanichanun, identified the suspect as 32-year-old Ms Piranunya from Ubon Ratchathani. A warrant for her arrest was issued by Khon Kaen Provincial Court, charging her with uploading false data to a computer system, potentially damaging national security. Upon arrest at her residence, Ms Piranunya admitted to posting the misleading content. She claimed she acted based on social media information, influenced by her preconceived biases regarding the disputes, without intent to profit. She has been handed over to the authorities for legal proceedings. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Rath 2025-06-10

      Prevent Under Fire for Labeling Migration Concerns as Terrorist Ideology

      So in your list of 'freebies' supposedly provided by the state, you weren't comparing the treatment of illegal immigrants in Italy and Greece with the UK but, in fact, with another unnamed country? I'm not the one avoiding the question. You inferred - and have done so again - that the UK treats illegal immigrants better than any other country. I asked you to provide evidence to support that premise, something that you have failed to do.

      Crazy farang

      Never been involved in road rage, seen plenty of videos so I know what to expect should it ever happen and it has. I'm at home, can't sleep, this man went crazy he hit my wing mirror hard trying to get through a gap that was to small he instantly lost the plot, yes I shouted more in shock rather than anger, I was trying to get away from him but he just wanted to get me at all cost, shouting, he kicked me, hit my Helmet all the time shouting, I was not going to stop untill I reached somewhere I Knew would be safe, I reached my local market and pulled in expecting him to launch another attack, he ran over to me and said " sorry I've had a bad day I'm angry, I thought you wanted to fight me" crazy!! I'm in shock not many things scare me but this did, he was now calm but inside I wasn't, I'm not and have never been a violent person, never hurt anyone in my life and never would. Can't get this out of my mind, wish I had video or taken his reg number, I just wanted to get away from this person. No point going to the Police and reporting it, I just want to move on. Been driving for approx 55 years 21 years driving emergency vehicle's in London, driven all sorts of cars and bikes never been involved in Road Rage, hope it never happens again. How do I get over this, can't sleep all I can think about is what if. I feel sick. My worst day in the 18 years of living here
