Always, interesting / entertaining this list ;-)

I have been multiple times in Thailand for business meetings with customers in my employer' local office while obviously being paid by my employer (Belgian contract) with my Belgian passport. I never needed a visa. So, I will try the same thing this time.

Entry in any country is heavily depending on the immigration officer in some cases... ranging from a smiling welcome to more trouble :-O

See you in Bangkok (or not...)
