    Buying property in Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 17/02/2006, Last updated on: 11/11/2011

    » Nothing much to say here is there, i think that IAN has told us all there is to know and believe me.......... .he's right.

    • Hejsan commented : emonstrations and blockade of Suvarnabhumi as well. I shall follow this forum with renewed interest after reading the many thought provoking posts here. As for the property issue, it has kept me from establishing a permanent residence in thailand, but I do find the Thai people charming in spite of the tendencies to discriminate against foreigners, rich and poor, western and eastern alike. We all know how Burmese and Cambodians are treated in Thailand. By comparison, we are rather lucky...

    First Impression - disappointment

    By Anonymous, Created on: 01/10/2006, Last updated on: 19/02/2008

    » Thursday night I landed on the new airport on a Thai flight from Korea. I expected some glitches and so I was not surprised when we had to disembark on delayed buses. I only travelled with handluggage to avoid problems with luggage handling. Arrival up to immigration and luggage retrieval was otherwise...

    • Anonymous commented : Suvarnabhumi sucks, whoever was responsible for designing and signing-off on it stuffed it up. What a White Elephant, and now it'll stay as it is for years I bet. Perhaps when Thaksin comes back he'll invest in extensions, I certainly hope so. Kuala Lumpur's airport is one of the best and prettiest. Surely a lesson could have been learnt by the designers who should have made a field trip to KL to see a huge, functioning airport in action.

    • Anonymous commented : LL 17th ...........Yes , i know what you mean, but comparing Suvarnabumi with KL International is like comparing an Isaan village bar with Bangkok Amari Hotel.

    No Public Phone at New Bangkok Airport

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/10/2006, Last updated on: 23/07/2007

    » I left Bangkok from the new Suvarnabhumi Airport two days ago. Before departure, I had to make a phone call. Without a mobile phone, I went looking for a public one. I ran through the whole airport, end to end, from departure to arrival, and there wasn't a phone to be found. A member of staff...

    Theft at the new bangkok airport

    By Anonymous, Created on: 17/04/2007, Last updated on: 15/10/2008

    » People pretending to be security guards who pat your body down while another searches your carry-on luggage. I discovered this when they asked me to give them my bag for security...and then realized they had no badges and reched my bag before they opened it. I became quite loud in my objections...

    • Anonymous commented : bbed Redux: Sticky Fingers at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Part 2". http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/2008/02/robbed-redux-sticky-fingers-suvarnabhumi-airport/ Author: Bruce Comment: Hi guys. We were also robbed at BKK airport while in transit from Krabi to Chiang Mai. With us though the things were taken from our checked-in case. The attitude of Airports of Thailand was grossly unprofressional and a disgrace to Thailand. We followed it up to the max - a police report, a report to the airline, letters to the Bangkok Post and the Nation as well as to the office of the tourism ministry. The airline let is be known that they felt the items were lifted by an employee of a contractor company that moves luggage around the airport (company name provided). Only AOT could investigate however and they would not provide contact details for the company in question. I am sure this happens at BKK MANY MANY times. Trying to contact anyone in AOT is a sick joke, they make it as hard as they can for you to reach them and then ignore you when you find some contact details. Just to let them know the depth of my displeasure I emailed them once a week for about 3 months afterwards. They finally answered and said they had referred my details to the lost property department. Completely unacceptable! Shame!

    » This is to complain of the highandedness of the immigration police at the internation DM airport. I was totally unprepared for the harsh behaviour of most of the staff to us, tired travellers. What could have been a half an hour procedure took over 3 long hours thanks to the silliness of one person...

    Excessive phone rates at Suvarnabhumi airport

    By Anonymous, Created on: 23/07/2007, Last updated on: 23/07/2007

    » Recently at Bangkok international airport (Suvarnabhumi) I used the public phones to make short international calls with my credit card. Each of these calls was billed with US$40 each! Even though it's not the airport's direct fault, it's still a discrace and destroys the image of...

    Rude immigration staff

    By ChiefSealth, Created on: 27/04/2009, Last updated on: 19/08/2010

    » Is it just me or have you also notice how rude and disgruntled the Thai immigration staff seems to be at BKK? I thought it was just a fluke my first visit but now I've experienced very unfriendly and rude staff multiple times entering and exiting Thailand. And before anyone asks all of my forms and...

    • bkpforummod commented : they are sitting in limbo at Suvarnabhumi having just arrived from his girlfriend's home country. He had to sit until 7 am (more than 8 hours), waiting for an 'officer' of immigration to arrive to issue him a re-entry permit under his M Visa/Work permit (thus killing the loss of wage; and the need to play pinch and tickle with MOFA), but the oficer declared his girlfriend a momentary 'persona non-grata' who - despite her immigration history (and return to her county), and my buddies' sponsorship fiscally, was to be deported... My buddy just about lost it. Actually, he did lose it. "How is she to go home?! She is just here to visit me!!" The female immigration officer slapped the girl's passport and plane ticket down on rhe desk - "Deprted persons get priority - she has a round trip ticket (wasted money now), she will be home soon!" Now, c'mon..? That's just mean. BFM -
