Re: Thai national coming to visit farang at home (UK)

I see the forums’ sponsor - Key Visa Thailand offer the service. If using them saves us a trip(s) to the city of anger then big +4me.

Re: Thai national coming to visit farang at home (UK)

Mrs. GN is planning a visit to the U.K. this Christmas however she wishes to take GN-Jr. Due to working for a crappy international cooperation on an equally crappy contract; I cannot guarantee that I will make the trip... Does anyone have any experience with a Thai partner (10-year visa) travelling ...

Re: Customs clearance red channel at Suvarnabhumi

It's the same at most airports, any duty free needs to be in one of those sealed bags from an airport duty free shop to get it through transit security. As a frequent flyer, I should know better.... What I have never understood, is why some routes have security in transit and other don't - it's jus...

Re: Thai Baht hits six year high, BoT to take measures

Here's the chart: https://www.oanda.com/currency-converter/en/?from=USD&to=THB&amount=1 The Fed may bump up interest rates by a full percent, or at least 3/4 shortly. The dollar may hit 38 after that. 40 is not out of the question if you're a gambler and willing to wait. However, when thing...

Re: Customs clearance red channel at Suvarnabhumi

Any idea on the possibility of bringing a decent bottle of single malt in? I think you're allowed a liter but have been hearing reports of customs cracking down and taking stuff anyway. Wouldn't want to take the risk with a good bottle of Scotch if they are on the take more than usual. I wouldn't w...

Re: Noise cancelling wireless headphones

Army shooting range?

I have been hearing what sounds like automatic gunfire the past hour whilst sitting on my balcony. Does the army have a shooting range at one of camps West (S.W?) of the Seapines.

Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

I quite often bring in things to Thailand. The last couple trips I’ve had a pile of baby things. My bags get scanned every now and again but in the 10+ years I’ve been coming here I’ve never had an issue. Only once I’ve been pulled aside and had my bag thoroughly checked. I had two bottle of spirits...

Anyone know if there still are some regulations at Suvarnabhumi going out/returning. Airline says no except mask onboard? Thank you hahuahin I recently made a trip from Thailand to the U.S. and it seems very easy now. The U.S. has since dropped the PCR requirement and returning to Thailand was a br...

Watched The Gray Man last night. I enjoyed it.
Gosling as cool as ever and good to see Evans as the sociopathic bad guy for a refreshing change.

I haven’t heard of an airline specifically demanding a PCR, only the destination country.
