@Richard *******

I suggest you research your facts. & look back at the disastrous results that successive Labour Governments have always caused. Spend, spend, spend, talk, talk, talk, & never anything to show for it. They’re a disaster & always have been. Now the NHS is virtually finished, private health care will become the norm, as is dentistry.

@Andrew ********

yes, just shows how unbelievably correct you are.

All the exaggerated fuss & palaver for a bonafide decent law abiding Thai citizen to come to the U.K. for a holiday accompanied by a U.K. resident & guarantor, yet, illegal immigrants from anywhere & risk element Countries can flock over here in rubber boats unchallenged, hundreds a day & then no expense spared looking after them, when there’s hardly any NHS dentists & the NHS is on its knees.

All disgusting, this Country is the Worlds dumping dustbin.

@John ******

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.
