If airlines won't let you fly on a one-way ticket, then they should not sell them & not let bucket shops sell them too.

@Ste ******

Well you obviously know Thai people better than me.

I don't even bother myself thinking about the word racism. I leave it to others.

I see all these, or most of these replies are by people who have never probably turned up at the airport with a one-way ticket. I have many times, flown to Thailand from many different countries over the last twenty years and have NEVER been asked about return ticket, or onward travel. I understand people's advice about buying a cheap bus ticket or flight before you go to try and leave the UK. I'm just confirming my experiences of never ever being asked.

I've never been asked in dozens of times. Indeed I've flown from Thailand many times with return tickets bought in Thailand, so when I've gone to Manchester airport on the return leg, never been asked to show how I am going to leave Thailand.

@Kylie ******

Well M8, I reckon you would be hard to find anyone that is not racist to some degree.

@Joseph ********

Are you referring to retirees when you say economic refugees? I can't comment on other Farangs (foreigners) that live in Thailand, all I know is that when I lived there I was far from being an economic refugee. I lived there because I love the country and its people. I could of lived anywhere pretty much because I earnt a very good living, but chose Thailand for the reasons I've stated and now I'm retired and my income has dropped dramatically, I will be going back to live there hopefully and it won't be because of money & cheap living, it'll be because of my love of the country and its people. I do understand what you say about foreigners critising the way Thailand does things, but at the end of the day Farangs shouldn't be critising anything about the way Thailand does things. It's none of Farangs business, as their only guests in the country. Waiting with bated breath now for all the troll comments 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Unlike some Western country folk, Thai people don't care if your Black, White, Blue, Green, Yellow or pink.

I don't understand why anyone, especially someone getting their state only British pension would risk getting caught. If they had no assets apart from say about £10k, if they invested it in a safe way, they'd cover at least the lowest pension increase per annum of 2.5%. Not worth the risk.

@David **********

I understand what you say that if someone has been in Thailand for twenty years AND has been listed as being resident in the UK for that period, then the accumulation over twenty years could add up to £400 a month, but if I'm not mistaken when I read your first post it didn't mention £400 a month accumulated over twenty years, to me it gave the impression mistakenly that a person could of been getting the annual increase in the first year April pension increase of £400 a month. That's why I thought you were mistaken on that issue.
