+1 Pala Pizza Romana - under Asok BTS - the best pizza you can find in Thailand (IMVHO) My favourite is the Brie + Speck Ham

Hardly, by the time you add the extras it's usually about the same as simply book Thai Airways - all inclusive but no faffing around As for apps, as suggested above you need little more than Goggle Maps

Huh? Remote parking why didn't they just bus you to the main terminal. Arriving at the new satellite terminal I've never taken a bus to take the train! It's sometimes a long walk from the airbridge to the escalators down to the train but all my recent Qatar flights and some Thai Airways flights using the satellite have parked at airbridge.

In the "old days" we had poliomyelitis, you're nostalgic for that too?!

Make Measles Great Again! The US is so bonkers nothing surprises me anymore.

GE engines - GEnx-1B64

Encountered the same changes to the forms last month when I submitted my application. But thankfully Songkhla immigration (Hat Yai) supplied a witness, so no drama.

I guess that's another way of looking at it, thank you for your candour.

Poor sods they almost got to the Malaysian border. Now they'll get sent home, no refund from the people smugglers, and if the money was borrowed they'll still need to pay it back - but now without that job in Malaysia.

Sorry, what's the question?

Does the fool seriously believe this will end Israel's problems, have the last 77 year not taught him anything?!

I strongly reject that insinuation. If I found how ever much money that wasn't mine I couldn't keep it with a clear conscience. I was surprised to see so many comments suggesting they'd keep the money; though I hope in reality that wouldn't be so.

Came in on Saturday from Vientiane, Thai Airways, they showed a sort video explaining TDAC - I expect other airlines will start showing the immigration video too. I had a connecting flight to Hat Yai so went through immigration at the transfer area, no queue.

The blind leading the blind

The whole idea of working remotely and online is that it doesn't matter where you are; you can work in Cambodia, Laos or wherever whilst waiting for your visa. If you can't manage that and 'run out of money' you probably should have stayed at home. Seems the Thai delaying tactic helps winnow the chaff from the grain.

Am I the only honest person here!

I was expecting something on making photographic plates, not quack medicine.

Makes you write with a lisp too

Not at Birmingham, I usually find we're the only ones in the queue as we were this trip, even on a flight from Doha - most passengers use the UK Channel e-Gate

Only 21 years but I have similar recollections of 'another nail' or 'the final nail' in the coffin of tourism in Thailand - the coffin's more nails than a hardware shop and still going

Going through Birmingham immigration this April I went through the non-UK Channel with my wife and granddaughter - no issue. Probably half the immigration and customs officers at Birmingham are of mixed heritage, that reflects the city, and they all speak impeccable Brummie - warms the cockles of my heart to hear it.

I moved to SE Asia for work

More like Statler and Waldorf

I'm sorry but I don't recognise that. I drove the M5 from Birmingham to Bristol and over the Severn Bridge into Wales in April this year. No potholes or broken motorway. The M4 to Cardiff was pothole free too, though plenty of annoying variable speed restrictions and cameras to catch the unwary. Driving back through Usk, Monmouth, Ledbury, Malvern, Worcester and Kidderminster the roads were fine with the exception of a road closure near Ledbury that sent us down Tewkesbury and back up to Malvern.
