Airline? Take your pick from the 13 different airlines I've flown into Thailand with 😂😂😂

I typed in Google yesterday. Did the 2004 Tsunami affect the Gulf of Thailand. AI, came back with the answer ',YES'. Well it didn't affect the Gulf of Thailand, it affected the West coast, which is the Andaman Sea. So much for googles AI 😂😂😂

Never been asked by any of the airlines I've flown with to Thailand for proof of a return ticket.

As far as I know there hasn't or isn't any specifics regarding timeline of course length, as some have said, it depends on the visa Dept., of different Embassies or consulates.

My personal opinion is, I'm 76, have travelled the world for over 50 years, mostly work related, but spent eleven years based in Thailand between the age of 49 & 61. Kept myself very fit all my life and although no one knows whether illness would hit you, my risk assessment on myself, because of my general health was very low of having a big medical episode. When we get older were more at risk of certain medical things, ie., heart attack, stroke and as usual with the quite older folk, succumbing to cancer. Nothing is guaranteed in life, apart from paying taxes & dying. If a person feels like they need peace of mind having insurance, that is Upto the individual. In my case after fifty one years of travel to all four corners of the earth & having not paid for any insurance of any kind, the amount of money I haven't parted with is huge.

If I was applying for any visa, I'd contact the visa section of any Embassy/Consulate and not take much notice of some so called experts on Sadbook. I get the impression that most of the regular commenters on FB., on visa questions are probably living in Thailand on retirement extensions and they are all experts on all visa issues.

I know of someone who got his DTV on enrolling on a Thai language course. I have been in contact with him personally, not on open Sadbook 😂😂😂.

@Lester ********

There's people on here making spurious comments on a subject they know nothing about. For one unless you contact an Embassy and ask specifics about what is required, how would you know? 2. I presume a lot of people commenting on this are retirement visa holders who don't know the actually requirements.
