How can I top up my AIS prepaid SIM card to continue using internet after my package expires?

Gareth ********

I’m guessing the fact they’ve nearly used all their data would indicate they are maybe at their destination. Unless they have burned nearly 40gb before leaving the airport.

They can just go to any ais shop near where they are. Yes outside of airport a bit cheaper to start with.

I’m from the UK if I look down on people from neighbouring countries e.g France, Germany, Europe etc doesn’t make me racist.

Hating someone for their skin colour does though.

Can my wife enter Thailand with a slightly wet passport that is now dry?

Gareth ********

It looks fine and probably won’t have a problem. I’ve been fine with worse.

But! If you have time to get a new one then always get a new one.

Who should I contact to get information to qualify for a visa in Thailand?

Gareth ********

It says Employment contract or employment certificate, so I would guess so. Or if you are self employed evidence of your work/portfolio/contracts etc. as stated.
