lets put this to bed once and for all, please. My visa had expired while I was out of the country. So when I was returning I did not have a visa, so I was arriving as a “tourist”, and then I would renew my visa in country. I was not “duped”, the airline would be liable for my departure flight if Thai immigration refused my entry because I had no departure flight. Happy now?
again you are drawing conclusions from minimal evidence. Please enlighten everyone including me when if ever I obtained my visa to live in Thailand? I am waiting with baited breath.
there was never any ambiguity about my answer, except in your own mind. I never said anything about visas, I only mentioned I had been living in Thailand for 10 years to add qualification to my response. Sadly you are one of the many people who read ten words and assume a thousand. Keep it clear, precise and on topic.
Accidents happen more frequently than other countries, but not so much as to make it “likely”. However they are generally hideous and the only time I did it there were two families with their children, two of which were using plastic potties.
