Opinion; there has been an incredible influx of visitors recently (per my Thai fiancé) nothing wrong in making an accurate count of individuals coming through the Bangkok airport. Many people have waited for three years to visit. Wonderful to see a huge boost in the tourist trade and economic benefits. The snarky comments are rude, useless and unnecessary.

@Mark *******

good for you. I met the Thai man of my dreams. We’ve been engaged three years now, will marry in America in the spring and come home to Thailand when ever we can.

You cannot work on a tourist visa.

I love Remitly I’ve not sent more than 2,000$ from US to Thailand, but service is .99 that’s cents. It’s almost instant, within five minutes. I use a debit, if use a charge fees higher. Just used it today for the second time this month. Wise was slow as a turtle.

With all the flooding going in my family needed the funds same day.

@Wayne *****

hopefully your doing ok now.

It’s best to be safe and comply with the rules. Keep in mind flying from the US is a very long and tedious trip. Who needs any hassles, when one is dead tired. Especially if the plane is full, no way to stretch out. Be sure and walk the isles frequently and wear compression knee socks. I don’t care your age, do so. You’ll be very happy in BKK. If there are any delays etc. the trip gets even longer. I go from BKK to the northeast after a night in Bangkok. Either drive6-7 hours or catch another Thai flight. Even then for me it’s another hour of travel.

@Mike ****

if just changing dates it’s 50$ American Air. Unless your a club member or flying with the best ticket. Unfortunately you don’t have time to get a airline charge account. I have American, but others are available. My son used United. Accumulate some nice air Mike credits too.

@Nick ******

nonsense, his company has trust and faith in him. I’m 81 and still work part time, and do a lot of volunteer work. His expertise is needed.

Wait until you age, then see what attitude you have about age.

all documents required, as long as registration was done in Thailand. You need that document including passport.
