Oh, you're just full of stupid racist tropes. But, in any event, there were no private planes sneaking into the US with pregnant women. They were coming in full sight on group tours dubbed "birth tours" on normal flights. Everyone knew about it. The US government has been cracking down on it, too. Again, nothing mystical--no special cunning or super powers here.

@Us ****

They enter as tourists which is not as difficult for Chinese as it is for Thais. "Birth tours" are rather well known. There's no need for them to fly in on "private planes." "My people" aren't doing anything mystical.

By the way, OP, did you ever clarify if you're a guy or a gal? Help me out on that.

@Pui ****

I'm old, but I didn't take his other post, personally. I took it as directed at the kind of troll who has nothing better to do than show up on these forums and comment with derision when someone seeks advice or information. A large portion of expats here do happen to be boomers. That said, younger guys can be jerks just as easily

@Sone *******

I can think of more males named Jermaine than famales(in fact, Germaine Greer is the only female that immediately comes to mind.) And both you and Eden missed why he chose to use the word "hag." He was cutting down the petty, MALE expats who have nothing better to do than stink up these forums.

Mom said she'll do whatever it takes. But that's a mother. Let the kid learn how to travel on a budget, but responsibly. We were all kids once. God help.me if I traveled at 20 the way I travel now. Thailand is big enough to take in both the brighteyed backpacker and the aging, expat who's only brighteyed now when he forgets how old he's getting.

@Andy ***********

You're a dishonest j€rk as well. You stated Thailand doesn't need him as he doesn't bring value if he can't pay $15K. Then you deleted all that. I'd call YOU the entitled 🤡, but with the way you throw the term at me it's clear you don't even understand it's meaning.

Again, we're talking about a KID who's probably all of about 20. And neither he nor his mother(OP) applied for or asked for a DTV. Get a clue before you try and act like Thailand's gatekeeper and hurl irrelevant garbage.

Edit: You didn't delete it. Your obnoxious remark is there is all it's glory. Real helpful, you entilted phony.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend you reach out to the agency Brandon Thurkettle cited (and which commented, themselves, here directly to you.) The people saying your son should just apply for an expensive visa when he's already blacklisted in the system are not being sensible. He can revisit that (if he even wants to) AFTER he's gotten his name cleared or has waited out enough time (which is indefinite and unknowable.) Just get the fixer so he can get his belongings, come home to you, and reassess what he wants to do.

@Andy ***********

We're talking about A KID who was here to learn Muay Thai. And you're not the gatekeeper for Thailand. It's quite doubtful you're bringing any value, yourself, you blowhard. But go ahead and try to impress now with a pack of lies about your expenditures.

@Tijana ******

Not only do I agree, but a lot of them are puffed up with lies. Andrew Tate swilling phonies.
