Who knows the woman accused of shoplifting in Nimman, Chiang Mai?

Sturgess ********

@Imran **************

I would like to know if this was a one off (doubt it) or if she’s a career criminal. If it’s the latter, all bets are off. I remind you that in other countries not far from Thailand people lose a hand for stealing.

How can I help my Thai girlfriend get a visitor visa to London?

Sturgess ********

I’m American, but I suspect the criteria is similar. They’re not particularly interested in where your GF will be staying, etc. They want to see proof that she has a life in Thailand that she does not want to abandon. Caring for a mother, kids, perhaps a house. These things will bring her back to Thailand. That’s what they want to see.

What are the best currency exchange options at Suvarnabhumi Airport for arrival?

Sturgess ********

@Matthew *******

? If you want to change $100 dollar bills, not only must they be crisp and wrinkle free, but they have to have the blue reflective stripe down the middle that newer bills have. I was just in Thailand and brought home several bills everyone refused.

What are the implications for a Thai-American dual citizen entering Thailand on a US passport and wishing to stay long-term?

Sturgess ********

Time was, this is how immigration workers in the US behaved, also. I have many dual citizens in my family and they say, 1) don’t flaunt the fact that you have 2 passports. 2) Enter each country with the appropriate passport. Then there are no stamps involved.

Wow. Is there any travel insurance that works in that area? As an older guy, I’m reluctant to go anywhere where I’m uninsured.

@Ronald ********

I hate it when I sound like my mother, but your one day margins are tight and don’t allow for cancelled flights, etc.
