Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

That date stamp says 2533 and it’s now 2567 so it’s 34 years ago - no wonder nobody can remember!!

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

I found this while looking - it was posted on 17 Feb 2007. Original Poster 500 Baht Departure Tax - the end of an era! I was quite disappointed yesterday, when I passed by the departure tax counter at Check-in Area 1 of Suvarnhabumi airport... the little lectern is still there, but no more do I have...

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

Wasn’t it a straight forward “departure tax”, which as HHTel has said applied to all travellers ?

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^ But where's the bit that includes initial cost(s), devaluation, cost of replacement battery pack etc? Just saying :wink: :naughty: Some of that is legitimate as EV’s in most countries are quite a bit more expensive than an ICE equivalent. Depreciation is difficult to quantify and has been changin...

Can’t remember, other than it didn’t include Rashford.

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates

I looked but couldn’t find when the current terminal was built, but it’s obviously quite old, so no surprise that it’s not an efficient layout - hopefully something that will be rectified in the update?

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts

I don’t know whether you checked yesterday, but it appeared to be even hazier yesterday than today and yet about 3 or 4 days ago it was relatively clear!!

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

The 24-hour reporting after arrival and 90-day confirmation of address reporting are two different things. The stamps in and out are in the immigration database, but the address confirmation doesn't appear to be (hence the piece of paper stapled into your passport ... which no other country I've be...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

To me that infers that when you go through immigration at Bangkok, it must all be linked with the local system? We are talking Thai IT, and there is always a SOMETIMES clause in there somewhere. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just read the last few posts, and it all makes sense when you ...

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase

I thought I read it had come into force about 2/3 weeks ago. Or was that just the ruling, with implementation later. If that is the case. it was just a bit more political propaganda, with no real substance. There seems to be a lot of we're doing this or doing that, but implementation is incredibly ...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Last year when I was visiting the UK, I asked the woman who does the initial vetting at the Cha Am office whether there was a need to report to immigration when I return and she confirmed no, but that it remained my responsibility to do the 90 day report in due time - which I did online without a pr...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

So maybe I reported too soon, But surely the online system wouldn't know that anyway? However they were happy to do the 30 day renewal at Bluport today! No skin off my nose in the long run. I think the online system would know - this morning I received an email from immigration reminding me that my...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

I’m not going to post the full article as it’s obviously full of BS, but the headline goes,

Man United's ENTIRE squad 'is up for sale' - with just THREE players named as 'off limits'

So it’s not the entire squad up for sale!!

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Same here, I returned to Thailand in early September last year and did a 90 day online report on 29th November.
