Thailand to Require Digital Arrival Card Submission Before Entry
Thailand to Require Digital Arrival Card Submission Before Entry From 1 May, Thailand will require all international visitors to complete a digital arrival card (eTM6) at least three days before entry, replacing the paper TM6 form. The new system aims to streamline immigration processes and reduce congestion at airports. Travellers must submit passport, flight, and accommodation details online. While authorities expect improvements in efficiency and security, concerns have been raised about accessibility for less tech-savvy visitors. Assistance will be provided at airports, and tourism operators are being advised to inform incoming guests in advance. -

So many Kanchanaburi resorts "sold out" for late January 26 - normal?
Hello, i try to book a mid-range bungalow (below 1800/night) about 30 kms north-west of Kanchanaburi town for Jan 25-31 or so, in towns like Ban Tha Pong, Sai Yok or Wang Pho, on the way to Erawan and Hellfire Pass, roughly between rivers Kwae Noi and Kwae Yai. There are a lot of bungalow resorts. Looking at many booking sites including meta booking sites, many resorts are "sold out" (see the markers with the red dots inside below), "sold out" now for next Jan 25, 2026. I wonder: Do you know if they are really sold out? Or do they only open up for booking later? Or maybe websites like booking.com show resorts as "sold out", even if they have no connection with the resort? (To direct customers to resorts they can offer.) The few places that actually do offer rooms on booking sites mostly don't offer free cancellation – if you book five nights now for next January, the money is gone. NOT IMPORTANT REMARKS: So much "sold out" and so little with free cancellation is very unusal for me, but I mostly book in less popular areas (and have no experience with Phuket or so). I had cases where places were actually not sold out, but presented as "sold out" on booking.com or Agoda, booking.com showed even places as "sold out" that didn't work with booking.com at all. I tried a number of other booking sites as well, also rather local sites like thai-tour or choowap. I can also contact them by phone, Line or Facebook, if available. I had places shown as "sold out" on booking.com for next year, but available on Expedia. I understand that booking without free cancellation is good for the hotel and that some consider it as more fair. Aware that the area in question is expensive and many resorts are above my budget of 1800 per night – still there are many within budget and fine for me. I do speak enough Thai and could phone around, but I prefer online booking, even if the agency charges 20%. Here I don't ask for specific recommendations regarding location, property, time of travel or vacation preparation. -

Foreign Tourist Assaults Bar Staff & Women in Pattaya Soi 6, Knocked Down in Viral Brawl
Let's be honest guys, where else would you see such primitive behaviour? Imagine that happening in a western country? Random waitresses, bar staff, security, random bystanders, passersby, some taxi drivers perhaps, or whoever etc. etc. all coming out of the woodwork together for a good auld head kicking on someone who really posed no actual threat to anyone - especially once he was put down with the first punch - but he was all bark and no bite anyway throughout the whole video. Things like that happen in prison, gang culture, or football hooligan culture in the West......but for ordinary civilians to do this?? 😆 🤣 😂 It's wild! -

138 Deaths Reported in Four Days of Songkran’s "Seven Dangerous Days"
138 Deaths Reported in Four Days of Songkran’s "Seven Dangerous Days" Thailand’s “Seven Dangerous Days” of Songkran have once again proven fatal, with 138 deaths and over 1,000 injuries recorded within the first four days. More than 1,300 accidents, largely involving motorbikes, were attributed to speeding and drink-driving. Chiang Rai and Songkhla led in crash numbers, while Bangkok reported the most fatalities. Despite widespread police checkpoints and traffic stops, violations remain rampant. Critics argue current safety measures are insufficient, with authorities urging drivers to slow down and avoid alcohol, especially in rural areas.
