hi Paul, for a second I considered to turn around but finally, It was more convenient and cheaper as going to langkawi require 3 tickets way and back (me, son and wife). Plus we re on a trip to visit in law family on mainland. But yes going to langkawi is definitely an option.

@Paul ******

very true :)

@Mike ******

yes, new comer here 😸. Since 2010. A life long time might not be enough to discover all part of beautiful Thailand. (And I never paid any tea money)

@Ralf ******

it makes sense. First time this happens.

Participant anonyme 632 it s not my experience of Thailand mate. I was barely asked for money in all my years there.

@Andrew ********

Just a polite report.

Living in Thailand for 16 years, bribe requests have been almost nonexistent for me.

But clearly, some faces must come with a complimentary “I’ll pay whatever you ask” label 😂

@Biff ******

probably yes, but I have to say I

Never ever paid any bribe there so I was surprised.

@Greg *******

not at all, they disappeared. Over the many crackdowns on visa runs I read in the news these last 15 years, This time it is a huge change.

Participant anonyme 848 I can’t say for other people experience but I went there up to 10x times to stamp out for my non-O and I was never ever asked for bribe. I also know the place a little bit, married to Thai wife since 2014, la-ngu native. About the vans, that was true (not hundreds per day), yesterday, they disappeared, I was literally alone. See the picture.
