excellent advice, on here too many contradictions by too many unqualified people. One needs expert advice from a legally qualified & experienced Thai solicitor.

It can be very easy to break Thai Law especially with domestic, work, employment & ownership issues. Not like here in the U.K. when foreigners from anywhere can come and do as they wish.

@Dave *******

Excellent Idea & perfectly legal. I’ve been visiting Thailand over last 12 years & Ido just that, carry a photocopy of my ID, Passport & Driving licence.

Never carry originals, hotel safe every time.

My sincere condolences to all persons & families concerned & May those who died RIP.

@Transitvan *****

people should not pre judge. Yes, Thailand has a very bad road safety record, but remember none driver responsibly

accidents can & do happen as elsewhere in the world.

My sincere condolences to all the families affected, May the deceased RIP.

You have to officially enter the country & officially leave it again. Thus going through immigration twice. You can’t just pop in & out at your leisure without officially arriving & departing.

The whole Thai Visa system is a complex, complicated mixed up mess.

Even the Thai immigration system don’t understand their own rules, conditions & complex variations.

So difficult to comply without doing wrong.

They desperately need to simplify & condense their Visa issues/requirements so entrants can understand & progress without committing immigration offences.

A total mix mash of complex complicated immigration- Visa issues.

it all needs sorting out so everyone including the Thai officials

Understands a much more simplified version of the Country’s Visa requirements.

@Paul ******

I had exactly the same experience. Each & every Thai bank has its own set of rules & operations re Farangs requirements.

Some banks don’t want to know & will turn you away, others gladly welcome your business . Just trial & error.

@Nick ******

you are correct.

@David *******

legalised theft really.

So, without a proper & protective Visa system that's enforced, the UK will continue to get the rest of the Worlds Riff Raff at several hundred a day & counting. which in Thailand & most other Countries, this illegality is not permitted to happen. Shame on UK's successive Governments.
