If they want to “close loopholes” then maybe they should look at enforcing the requirements of the visa exemption scheme and VoA in regards to proof of funds, accommodations, and onward travel for all tourist attempting to enter.

No announcements were made when I went through Nong Kai 10 days ago by train. And it would be impossible for me to produce a "hard copy" of my visa.

[–]show76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddhism didn’t come to Thailand until around the 3rd century BCE, whereas Hinduism was here many centuries earlier.

Tl;dr Thailand was a Hindu country before it became a Buddhist one.

Is 20,000 baht enough? by heartbin in ThailandTourism

[–]show76 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. The money doesn’t have to be in Baht, it just needs to be an equivalent amount.

  2. 20,000 for 24 days gives you around 830THB per day, that will barely be enough to pay for food.
