Why are Thai immigration authorities enforcing onward travel requirements more strictly now?
Chris *********
We have kids so we get special treatment. We get rushed throu the expedited line, no questions asked. They dont even ask to see our DTV, they pull it up on the PC, stamp our passports. And smile us away.
