Oh wow, thats brutal. 🥺 They were fine during covid but are seemingly back to their old ways. Always insist on using the meter and take a photo of their taxi license which should be posted in full view.
Same with my experience. I have only been asked once in the last 10 or so trips here. I didnt have one but just told them i was going to travel to Vietnam and they let me board. That was with Emirates. I actually bought a cheap onward flight this time but again I wasnt even asked about it (Qatar Airlines).
my understanding (which could well be wrong) is the landlord/ hotel etc us legally obliged to register you but not to print out the TM30. Im sure a lot of hotel owners in my home country would see the money making opportunity for printed copies and charge.
It seems Admin removed the link i posted to the Thai Embassy Website in Australia which shows the requirement so here it is again. (It will probably get deleted again too).......
Read my replies properly 🤦♂️ The website which i put the link to is a Thai Government website and it does state the requirement is to have 6 months left in your passport....its not hard, well it seems it is 🙄🙄
