For old people, a political system that crushes dissent, an education system that crushes debate!!!! But your OK Jack!!

@Greg *******

Anutin "dirty farrang" comments, TM30, So called discretion of IOs! OA visa health insurance requirements, (Thai approved companys only!!) No interest bank deposits, dual entry prices! Et al, et al!!

@Greg *******

not bitter just frustrated that the Thai Government only do what benefits them, not for the populace or visitors (who over the last few years have been hounded and villified)

@Greg *******

go steady mate!!!

@Greg *******

im not in Thailand!!

What planet did you just drop from!!!! Ffs

Stay where you are!! The Thai authorities are exploiting this to the Nth degree, despotic, beurocratic, xenophobic..you will pay through nose if you do eventually get in!! This government and the elite dont give a shit about their own people, even less about you, go to Cambodia or Laos when you can

@Brahim *****

or maybe choose somewhere different with less draconian requirements, big place the world!! If thailand wants to shoot itself in the foot, let it and move on!!!

@Ivan ***********

well sounds quite random to me... "it varies massively by what the exact thing is" ugh!!!

Thai people are inherently xenophobic and entitled!! Rooted in their sanctimonious interpretation of Buddhism, reverence to the monarchy, non colonialism ( dont mention Japanese occupation or Bowman treaty) and overall ignorance of the way the world operates!!
