Should I change my travel plans due to recent issues with METV approvals in Thailand?
Jamie Hanson is asking in another topic:
Should we change our plans. Was going for a METV but seems that Thai immigration is going through a crisis and too many people getting refused. Never used to be like this but to be honest I’ve not been since 2003. Just don’t want to be knocked back at airport so would it be easier going to pp or Saigon and not have wasted the effort ?
