Definitely wrong regarding the tax. Can't say with certainty that the single-use eye drops wouldn't get held up and require FDA certs, but doubtful. Stuff gets in uninspected all the time in small packages addressed to individuals.

@Des ******

Yep! And as an American, just the other day I was trying to recall this word Brits use to insults guys. It was "tosser." 😄 Thanks for reminding me. I gotta use it a few times so I don't forget it again.

A lot of the all-day-long drunks are showing up here while their fingers can still find the keys on their keyboards.

@Jon *******

You meant to say "committed patient."

A lot of people are not paying attention to your concern about the airline rule. Par for the course here, unfortunately. Now, while all airlines are supposed to enforce that rule, I only had it happen to me once at check-in. Others do occasionally have to show proof of return/onward tickets, but the odds are greater that you will not.

That said, as others mention, wait to see if this new policy even gets implemented. If it does, either call your airline and pay to modify your ticket or do look up "Onward Ticket," a service just for this purpose. You'll get an e-ticket to show at check-in which will, in actuality, be automatically cancelled shortly after. I believe it costs about $20.

@Stan *****

Yes, mostly likely so, unfortunately. I don't know if you need a politician, but a connected attorney--especially one that donates to judicial election campaigns(if they're elected where you are)--can ask a judge to strike that from your record. OR get your record sealed. I live in Las Vegas where that's how it works.😬 Records get sealed here all the time and then employers, etc. never know the better. You were 16 at the time so it might even be a routine ask. If a lawyer quotes you too much, a clerk at the relevant court might tell you how to submit your own petition?

Anyway, you probably don't need this. I won't butt in any more. 😅

It sounds like you will not have a problem. But can you petition a judge in your juresdiction to expunge your record? Compared to a lot of the disheartening crap they have to deal with daily, a judge might even be happy to see your subsequent upstanding life and grant this. They do it often here and there. Good luck!

@Jim *******

And with this supposed condition, he waits until 3 days before his visa expires.🙄 Why should any responsible immigration agent WANT this person remaining in Thailand? Will become a ward of the state. Staying is a privilege, not a right. This is just contrived clickbate.

@Brian ********

OP, himself, said he was warned this time. The IO didn't just do that for his jollies.

@Brett ****

We know Ashey's type. He doesn't live "up" anywhere. It's all down for him.
