RE: Thailand authorities attempting to woo Chinese tourists - Too little, too late
Blimey, will we brits have issues getting in soon? Will they demand any BAHT from us?
I haven't really checked out what the deal is yet, but it's coming ever closer. I know there is no VISA required.
Apologies if you have told me this already, my brain is getting old.

Out of date?
Be aware that posting images on social media of people drinking alcohol or wearing inappropriate clothing can result in fines and/or imprisonment both for the person who uploaded the images and the people in them.
No pictures of happy Steemians drinking beer or we go to jail? Fucking hell.., this info is from the UK's Gov website.
I didn't mean to scaremonger buddy. It isn't like that. These threats of clothes and booze and what not are very unlikely to be enforced. It was only in the news a couple of times when a couple of people were intentionally acting lewd at holy places such as a temple or near a shrine honoring the Royal Family.
The proof of cash thing is a silly one but i have been in and out of this country much more frequently than most non-Thai people in the world (probably more than most Thai people also) and I have never been asked to produce a massive stack of cash.
The nation is becoming more authoritarian, but aside from those high profile cases of IG influencers trying to gain some more fame by acting totally inappropriately in public, i have never heard of anyone getting in trouble for posting a boozy picture... if that were the case i would have been locked up multiple times by now.
Good to hear. I can't wait to leave the shitty weather and have some sun. Don't tell me the monsoons are in season in 2 weeks!
Thanks for the info. Always good to hear it from a local.
you are arriving during the best time of year to be here. However, since it is a tropical country, rain can always happen. Of course, unless it is a proper tropical storm, in November, it is extremely unlikely to happen and if it does, it should only be for an hour or so which is actually kind of nice..... cools it off a bit.
