Young If this become reality, the condo market surely will collaps. Can’t see Thai government will let it happen, we are talking about big money.

Lot of confusion regarding ThailandDigitalArrivalCard = former slip flight crew handed out before landing. Find a pen and all documents in order to get info. I always wondered what the people at immigration said trying to decipher the crow feet’s 🤣

Visa exempt, a number of countries do not need to apply for visa before entering, but still some requirements, onward travel (airline generally do this check as it is their cost), prof of accommodation and at least funds of equivalent 20K baht. Personally never been asked. One time I only wrote the name of accommodation and was order to fill in the correct address.

Visa on arrival several country’s use this and often handled as administration and collecting fee in cash

Traditional VISA, you apply from place of residency to Embassy or consulate before traveling.

I guess the confusion is with younger people from EU/EES with free movement. Older farts like me, had to be more prepared traveling in the olden days.

Bruce Taylor stuck at ha sip 😱

Jonathan Seraphim I get you. Yes Thailand and Thai make it easy, only time I felt lost, vad interaction one time with immigration. That was because I compared it with public entity’s back home. I landed in the decision to learn Thai to the best of my abilities due to the ongoing discussions in Europe on the immigrants have to adapt local values and learn the language and contribute to society. If I believe this fare, it is also then fate I do my best to adapt and at least learn basic Thai.

Terary Apellido sounds to me a bit transactional. Let’s say you’re sightseeing and find “love of your life”, and this person or the community don’t speak any English, your strategy is to leave and find some who speaks English? Just to clarify, I’m not judging, just baffled as it is far from my realm of thoughts. Take care and be safe

Daren Liebig You should be, and show the effort she makes. As long as you try and put effort in, a sign of love.

Jens Sundin, kan bara beklaga. Tror att det är kombination av språkbarriär, dagsform på IO och samma fel/brister. Inte som i Sverige där myndighet har krav på service och att bistå. Jag gjorde min 90 dagars i Phuket Town. Hade allt med mig och lite till. På det kontoret fanns det två volontärer (?) som bistod och delade ut kölapp när de var nöjda. Jag tänkte det här går som en dans! Tills jag möte min IO och något var fel. Volontären var lika förvånad, så de pratade thailändska och jag fick förklaring på engelska av volontären.

Men ändå tacksam ”turister” hade eget a/c kylt hus med migranter och gästarbetare stod i långa köer i andra änden av området i värmen.

Guys, let’s us be civil and respectful. Their is so much conflict and suffering in the world let’s a bit Buddhist about things. Dan Brown I am only soon 60 but the hearing is getting more difficult, to much loud music in my youth, soo I understand the hearing one more hurdle. Take care!

Alan Wood does effort to learn Thai anything to with if you have academic degree or not? I don’t think soo. Possibly it is one way of approach learning. If your profession is as contractor or an auditor, in what world is the auditor destined to learn a new language?
