@Steve *********

what is wrong with you? David was not rude. He simply corrected the misinformation you supplied. Your snark was not necessary. He never said you were less intelligent, but by the behavior being shown on a public forum…

What are the requirements for UK citizens to fly to Thailand during a family emergency?

@Yvonne ********

I’m not sure why you’re telling me that, not Tim, but yes. Excellent point. Vaccination also needs to be added as an assumption here.

you clearly didn’t see yesterday’s discussion. Maybe your officer didn’t ask, but that doesn’t mean none will. It IS a requirement and some do. When giving advice for someone who likely doesn’t want any hiccups, shouldn’t we give them the advice least likely to cause them? I wasn’t looking for a fight here. Oy!

What are the common issues faced when entering Thailand with a tourist visa and how to avoid them?

Ruth *******

Eddie Jarvis Yes. I fell ill in January 2020 and was not return due to not being permitted to fly. The booking site specifically was the problem. The hotel was willing to refund. I definitely have my first stop planned, with long stay, when I return. The hotel was absolutely fantastic to me.
