Video Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
Screenshots from @ ramyatheaussie TikTok video A group of Australian travellers found themselves in a bind at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport after their Qantas flight to Sydney was suddenly cancelled. Initially delayed for six hours, the flight was called off late Monday night, July 21, leaving passengers uncertain and weary. Amid the confusion, a video surfaced showing a cardboard box on the terminal floor, filled with Australian passports. Stranded passengers surrounded it, while airport staff completed paperwork similarly seated on the ground. Adding to their woes, passengers said they were required to surrender their passports to leave the airport for hotel accommodation arranged by Qantas. The unusual request sparked alarm online, with many questioning its validity. A Qantas spokesperson clarified, "Local border authorities require passengers’ passports during significant delays as part of immigration regulations." Qantas stressed that this demand wasn’t part of their usual policy, but rather a necessity imposed by Thai immigration. The situation ignited a flurry of incredulous reactions on social media. "Is it normal to take away your passports? Never heard of such a thing!" exclaimed one user. Another added, "I would never let them take my passport; that's not standard practice." Qantas has since apologised for the turmoil. "We sincerely apologise for the disruption and understand the inconvenience caused," the spokesperson said. The airline assured all passengers have now safely arrived in Sydney, offering some relief. Despite the resolution, the incident has left many uneasy and questioning the rules that led to this scenario. The viral footage remains a talking point, casting a spotlight on airport protocols during unexpected delays. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Bangkok International Airport for additional comment on the matter, as travellers and observers alike seek further clarity. In the world of aviation travel, where every minute counts and passport security is paramount, this incident raises important questions about balancing procedure and passenger peace of mind.

Report British Embassy Alerts Pattaya Expats to Growing Risks
And anywhere in Thailand is a considerably safer place to be than London, Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Coventry ad infinitum. yes, and no, the main difference is that you can risk assess more effectively in the uk cities, there are areas and activities that will make you less safe, avoid these and your day to day life is very safe. compared this to thai cities where you literally have to be on your guard all the time because the roads are so dangerous, whether you're in a vehicle or a pedestrian. -

Report Press Freedom in Question as White House Ousts WSJ Over Epstein-Linked Coverage
They always have been in the crosshairs. Trump has always despised the media as they very commonly have been spreading facts about his criminal activities, and his moral degradation, and he doesn't like that at all. Obey. Be loyal, and show only fealty to the new king!
