So ********

I am cool doing it myself, it’s just that the Airbnb I am staying in is “flying under the radar” and the landlord would rather not have to fill out any kind of form and be noticed…so I need to think of plan B.

@Luit ****************

indeed, it is called Visa on Arrival or Visa Exempt meaning you can jump on the plane and they give you a 60 days visa stamp on your passport on arrival which can be extended for another 30 days.

I should know, I arrived 3 weeks ago!

Has racism been experienced by anyone in Thailand?

So ********

I’ve always heard that the word “farang” originated from the word “farangcet” which was the best way a Thai person could prononce / repeat the nationality “français” when told by a french person.

It became “farang” with time to describe a white skin foreigner.

But this might just be a story…🤔

So ********

Thai don’t want to have whiter skin because they are racists. Having a whiter skin means that you are not a lower class citizen who works outside like on the side roads doing construction work. It’s a sign of higher class in society who can even afford to not work.
