The more Tino Kuis delves into Thai history, the more corpses, prisoners and exiles he encounters. The almost forgotten peasant uprising in Chiang Mai in the XNUMXs is an example of this.
Living with prejudices
Suppose you are over 50 years old and you regularly go (alone) to Thailand, then you quickly become an old pervert or a sex tourist. Prejudices. Very annoying. You get the feeling that you have to defend yourself all the time. The environment leaves an unsolicited mark on you. Once branded, it is almost impossible to get rid of that stigma.
Thailand Visa Question No. 079/21: Health Insurance
I am in consultation with my health insurance (Zilveren Kruis Achmea) to get the amounts on my CoE as desired by Thailand. At the moment they do not want to do this. They will consult and message me whether or not they want to do this with regard to Thailand. Would anyone be able to personally make this $100.000 guarantee if they can prove that they have more than this amount in their account?
An ounce more, is that allowed?
Now that Gringo lives in Thailand and the normal lifestyle here is completely different, there is still a slight form of weight gain. What's he doing about it?
Thailand Visa question No. 081/21: STV or TR visa?

Reader question: Conditions return flight from Bangkok to Brussels with a stopover in Vienna
My wife will be returning on April 18 from Bangkok to Brussels with a stopover in Vienna, with Austria airlines. She has Belgian and Thai nationality. Does anyone know if she also has to submit a Corona test and/or Fit to fly document for this return flight? Or is a passenger location form sufficient for Belgium?
Next week we fly back to Schiphol. This time I am taking more than the tax-free amount with me, so I choose the red passage 'Make a declaration' at Customs. Then they calculate how much import duty, VAT or excise duty I have to pay. Does anyone know how long that procedure takes so I can take that into account in my pick-up time?
