 I fly with Turkish Airlines but I think its more of a Libya thing than a Turkish Airlines thing. They are trying to show that the airport in Tripoli is responsible and that it has a high level of safety so they can get more direct flights in and out. I've never been asked when flying from the UK.

Any other questions. You’re asking for the Encyclopedia Britanica of answers to Thailand.

You seriously think you can get a quality answers from Facebook regarding all that in one post?

Write each question at the top of a single piece of paper and start doing some homework.

Moving to Thailands not a walk in the park or a one and done answer to everything.
