I got some emails about jan/feb flights bos-bkk RT for under 1k on turkish a week or two ago

@Steve ******

no, it being a requirement and if it’s enforced can be two different things, especially with your follow reply about “being lucky” if you aren’t asked and being clueless about what passport you hold having a major impact on what requirements they decide to enforce.

One way is acceptable is a perfectly reasonable and expectable answer, if you get unlucky all you have to do is buy an onward ticket on the spot for about $10

My example of the 20k baht requirement is a perfect example of largely unenforced requirements

@Steve ******

no one said it isn’t legal, and your passport absolutely matters, if you think they are going to treat an african passport the same as an american one that explains a lot

Youre also supposed to have 20k baht (or equivalent) of cash and yet it goes largely unchecked

Not checking your return ticket isn’t lucky, its normal

@Steve ******

not really lucky, if you have a strong passport theres a good chance you won’t be asked, only ever been asked by immigration once and they didn’t even check

I used agoda the other day for my on arrival domestic flight and they seem to direct you now to the third party site, one of the listed businesses was edreams which has horrendous reviews

Just be aware who is responsible for your ticket

@Andy *********

if its storm related evacuation i would absolutely say it’s grossly misleading to poise this as standard procedure

Its not an unpopular question, it’s out of touch

@Peter *******

who knows? Apparently everyone but you and chris.

We might not know the range of acceptable lengths for how long of a class you need to be signed up for, but it sure as hell isn’t going to be one week.

@Chris ****

i agree it’s clear as mud but you have to be dumber than hell to think that a weeks cooking class or any other ridiculous activity will satisfy the requirements, that doesn’t absolve people from basic logic and sense

@Tom *******

there’s also many great places that aren’t pattaya and have none of the sex tourism, also the beaches are terrible. Going to pattaya for none of what it is notorious for is like going to an ice cream shop and asking if they sell hot dogs
