I'm planning to take the ARL City Line from BKK to Ramkhamhaeng, then a taxi to Thonglor soi 8, at around 10:00 on a Sunday morning. Is there any reason why this may not be a good idea?

Anyone know where it's best to catch a taxi onto Petchaburi Road from the ARL station?

As a result of a discussion on another forum, I've discovered that the requirement for proof of onward air travel for visa exemptions no longer appears on the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, nor on the internet pages of various embassies. The requirement for adequate funds is still there, but the onward travel part has disappeared. I'm sure it was still there last time I looked. It's still in the downloadable document provided by the Thai Consulate in Hull, England, though. Is it possible the MFA has made a change to their policy without telling anybody???

If so, this would be very good news for many foreigh tourists who'd like to use Bangkok as a hub for several months of travel in the region. They had to get a 60-day Tourist Visa even though they never planned to stay longer than the 30 days in Thailand, because some air carriers were denying boarding to anyone who didn't have either proof of onward travel or a visa.

Could someone who reads Thai have a look at the original Thai regulations and see if this requiement is still there?
