Certainly not. Bought my ticket from an agent in downtown and he said nothing about a passport being required. Bet he did not know. Fortunately I just wanted to change my voucher for a ticket which I need for April. Tonight I travel with Lignite Bus and they never require a passport. If tonight I was t traveling with XXXX they’d refuse me!! Unbelievable! Are they checking for security, are they immigration in disguise or plainly want to make it very difficult for foreigners. Nice to be in a powerseat!! Never ever again Sombat stupidity for me!

Most if not all bus companies I have used in Thailand do not require a passport but (name removed) TOUR will not let you on the bus without a passport. A photocopy is not enough. I have no idea what they need to check. Other bus companies don’t even ask for any ID. I’ll never ever again buy XXXX. I think they just don’t want foreigners on their bus that’s why they have such a stupid rule. I live in Thailand and trying to not always to take my passport with me because if something happened to it it’s endless trouble to replace and get new visas etc so I won’t always keep it with me just to satisfy this stupid bus company!

Thanks for all the good suggestions. Much appreciated.

Sorry, but I searched and can't find the info I want. Can you please recommend any great Thai restaurants located in converted houses? I want a homey atmosphere. Thanks very much.

Lithium is in an absolute oversupply now and likely will be in the foreseeable future. South America has tons of it. Prices are down and lithium companies are contracting — darn I know as I have invested heavily a few years ago in an American lithium provider which now is losing me a lot of money. Good luck if Thailand thinks they struck gold!

Just a quick question: Do we these days need to register online before for we head out to renew our one-year visa in Bangkok, or can we just turn up at the immigration office? If getting a queue number online is available, kindly give me the website URL. Thanks. Also, how long before visa expires can we renew? Is it 45 days? Thanks.

Oh don’t even try to open a new bank account .. can take four hours filling out tens of forms and all must be signed and chopped. Ridiculous. But I love living In Thailand as I’m writing this from my hammock on a remote island in the Andaman Sea.. daily cost is about $10 including inflated national park fee for foreigners, tent plot and food). Love it! Thanks Thailand for allowing me to live here!

What a lot of bull!!! Another poll only reported by ponies! Not worth reading! Sorry I did!

He is free to increase his hotel rooms with as much as he wants. Increase by 1000% and help the economy! Double salaries too! Go ahead!

The other day I walked across a street in Pattaya at a pedestrian crossing with the light Green for me… some cars stopped others flew by totally ignoring their red light. Please be careful. Look carefully even if your light is green.

Exactly as others have commented, the 13 severe cases which is then analyzed into two groups is such a small (tiny!!!) sample that you wonder why would any news site even care to report such unreliable research analytics. Don’t they know better or published just to get clicks with a scary heading! C’mon please! Let’s see some responsible journalism here.

Where is currently (Late May 2022) the cheapest place to get a PCR test to enter another country which requires "Negative result proof of a PCR-based nucleic acid test for COVID-19 within 48 hours (including documentary proofs that the lab is ISO15189 accredited or Government recognised)" Can a hospital in Bangkok provide "documentary proofs that the lab is ISO15189 accredited or Government recognised". Any help appreciated.

Yes that’s the same site. I’m amazed they are fully booked until March 7. I’ll just go and spend the day waiting and waiting. Thanks.

Can someone please give me the link to get a queue number online for my annual visa renewal in Bangkok. The link I found shows no bookings open for the next two weeks which is not good. I assume I can just turn up tomorrow and will be serviced? Thanks.

Just his excuse to save face and save his own job because he knows Thailand won’t any time soon get back to 40 million. Not any time soon because the sex industry will never be the same as it mostly moved online where it’s a much easier job that pays a lot more!
