Ramrod Hotshot posted:Is there a super up to date source of info on reopening plans for SE Asian countries? Thailand and Indonesia in particular Bangkok is dealing with a huge outbreak that they're blaming on a couple of wealthy person nightclubs so that might slam the brakes on the whole place.

I maintain that the most fun you can have in Jakarta is standing in line to buy a plane ticket to Bali.

Ibblebibble posted:Malaysia will let you stay on a tourist visa for 90 days and you can go cross a border to renew it indefinitely. If you gently caress up and forget and get caught you will be deported and barred from reentry though. Thailand works similarly, you can do a day trip every few months to slap the snooze button on your visa. Both places will get annoyed if they officially notice you working while there on a tourist visa but you are unlikely to be detected if you aren't interacting with the local economy as part of your duties and you aren't taking up two tables at a cafe as your "office" every day for a month.

Electric Wrigglies posted:They started doing a big cleanout of the old visa run crew. At first just focusing on the bus to poipet and back visa run crew that they let exit the country then not let them back in, then on air ticket visa runs. Has that stopped now? Have they got rid of enough lost in Asia in the 70's -90's that were hitting retirement with no saving types that were begging off other expats so they can go back to letting the visas be refreshed again without issue? As recently as 2012-2020 that worked for the people I'm personally aware of.

. Earlier I literally had to walk into a 7-Elleven, I swear I thought I was going to literally melt. Is there something different about actual Redbull here, I feel like I just drank a whole Adderall.

The Saddest Rhino posted:Is getting a suit done in Bangkok still good? Maybe that Pinky and Raja are the two I always hear about. I had two suits made at Majestic Tailors and they've served me well for the last 15 years. The Marines at the US embassy like them for their dress uniform tailoring too, take that as you will.

the heat goes wrong posted:I have been asked twice to show some money when flying to Thailand. In both cases it was the airline employees who were asking and I didn't have a flight out of thailand booked (which is also one of the legal requirements). No long term visa plus no onward booking is a common trigger for further question in many parts of the world. States generally don't want to let in people who seem like they might become a net drain on their coffers.

Strong Sauce posted:I don’t know what the exact scam is but I’ve had two people come up to me at night the past two days asking where I’m from or how to get to some place and then they try to steer conversation to money. They specifically ask a question like how many euro in a baht or what does Thai baht look like? Another one is they ask to convert or make change with a big bill they give you and while you're examining it they swap one of the bills you gave them with a smaller one and claim you accidentally short changed them. But yes, anytime a rando anywhere in the world starts talking about money it's because they want yours.

Lmao good grief, only get involved in one extralegal enterprise at a time. If you're running a bogus animal habitat while here on a visa, don't assault local citizens.

Could also be getting some kind of tax breaks or other freebies from the local or national government for running a rescue that a park with rented animals wouldn't qualify for.

KL Tower was probably more impressive before Petronas Towers was built, recommend avoid the observation deck unless you're just super bored. The restaurant is kind of a neat view but I don't remember anything about the food.
