@Daren ********

blah blah blah blah. How long have you been going to thailand? who recommend to do that?

that was in the early 2000s, nowadays you can change your return ticket just if you buy the most expensive tariff or an insurance which isn't worth considering that an onward ticket costs 15us$

@Jason ******

oh, I didn't know you are special. OP asked a question and I replied to it. Nobody asked for your opinion. NOBODY. As I stated, it's something that I've heard and read about it and that's why I replied the OP. I'm not suggesting anyone to do that, I'm not giving away any contacts, I'm not asking for money. I heard many things in thailand, the only one that is 99.9% bs is when a married foreigner says that has found her wife while on holidays in phuket/pattaya/soi cowboy....

@Jason ******

my grandpa passed away @92 after smoking 2boxes of cigs a day and drinking a bottle of wine every other day. That proves that smoking and drinking isn't a bad thing for your body ;)

@Eric *****

as I said, it's a legend.

@Eric *****

it doesn't work that way, at least that according to what I've heard.. There's an agent that will point out at the airport which officer you should line up at and the immigration officer there knows what to do... It's all well organized, it's not something random

@Jason ******

the legend says there are folks who have been living in thailand for years doing this trick. The legend says that you can also get in jail without doing anything, being at the wrong place at the wrong time might lead u to jail. If you have been in thailand long enough then you should know that you got no rights when u have to deal with the cops, even just for a stupid traffic stop...

@Brandon ***********

the legend says that 1000baht is just for the immigration officer, the agent that will put u in contact with the right officer has also a cost. That's what I've heard....

there is a "legend" that says that you can bribe your enter in the kingdom (especially if you live there with a tourist visa/visa exempt) with a 1000baht bill left inside the passport. The legend says that not every officer does that but you need to have a "connection" with an agent that will lead you to the right officer...

@Janelle ****

Till few months ago you could just get 30days on visa exempt. I wanted to stay one and half month and I didnt want to waste a day of holidays to apply for a visa extension in thailand so I applied for a tourist visa here (it is also cheaper, 1200$ vs 1900$ visa extension)
