fair enough. I think the question referred to out of Australia though where the question is much less rare. I don’t think Delta fly out of Oz to Thailand

@Lee-Ann ******

Rarely. Very rarely.

Once upon a time you’d sometimes get asked for an outbound ticket on check in in Oz.

I travel outside Australia usually on one way tickets every month. I haven’t been asked since 2014. But it’s possible.

If anyone made it an issue, I’d just log on at airport and buy the cheapest BKK to Saigon or Phnom Penh Air Asia ticket for $50 and call that a fee ;)

There’s confusion. I had a Bangkok school teacher tell me on Friday they were open on Monday and closed on Tuesday and then she messaged me last night to say closed both days as Monday is a “bridging holiday”.

It’s primarily a public service/bank holiday on Monday but normally that would cover schools

If you’ve paid you’ve got to the scam site. It’s free.

@Andrew ******

Theses stories are tedious misinformation and have been around in some form or other my entire 20 years in and around Thailand.

There is no limit; there is no crackdown; there is a risk if you effectively living here and doing border runs of just present as shady in some way.

But that doesn’t equal “beware there’s a crackdown”

Cheers 👍

I’m tossing both up and I’m lazy, so leaning towards just punting the money on the Elite. But absolutely agree with your point

@Marty ********

That visa is solid but it requires, from memory, a fairly high annual passive income and/or reasonably chunky amounts of cash invested in Thailand right?

If you’ve got those levels of cash then buying a Thai Elite for 10 years seems almost lower friction no?

@Brandon ***********

it’s massively convenient but it costs a chunk. If you’ve got the money I reckon it’s a decent option.
