It will inconvenience many on both sides of the border,benefiting absolutely no one! Resulting in a loss of income for both countries which both can not afford! I suggest the nationalistic zealots on both sides should wake up,and realize that we're in the 2000s,well into them, and not in medieval times anymore! Grow up for f--ks sake!
My recent history entering Thailand: All on visa exemption. 13 days in February, 14 days in April, 2024; from June 2024 until February 2025, 30 days in June,obtained upon arrival. 60 days in July,60 days late August,60 days late October,and 60 days days late December. I never had any issues/ problems at all! I hold a full British passport.
Hence I would respectfully suggest,that nationality counts,as does appearance, demeanour, age, and politeness.
Seems one hell of a contradiction,with the money foreigners bring in! Seems Thailand is closing in on itself,rather sad,and counterproductive I would suggest! I love Thailand and this is a crying shame; which neighbours Cambodia,Lao,and Vietnam,will willingly take over the mantle!
Of course! And I'm very well educated so can read! But please don't believe everything you read or hear, that is rather naive! Though I accept being an ex Prison Officer I tend to be rather sceptical,but has served me well thus far! Inshallah!
Firstly how long do "plans' take to be enforced in Thailand? With my experience a very very long time; if ever! As for talking about honour; a bit hypocritical judging by the amount of criminals currently residing in Thailand...Or are you going to deny that obvious fact! Check with the Thai authorities,they generally know where they are,( not all) but only act intermittently!
