C-Word craziness in Thailand, immigration update | GMT We can’t mention the word here, but the C-Word has become a political football, only days after decriminalisation of the product in Thailand. Legislation to clarify the changes to the laws are yet to be debated and voted for in the Thai parliament. Will they even pass? The TM6 form that foreigners have to fill in before they go through immigration in Thailand, and must keep in their passport whilst in the Kingdom, might be temporarily waivered. The Phuket Light Rail project has stumbled along for nearly a decade. There’s some more news on that. And where are the airlines planning flights for Thailand? Friso and Greg from the Bangkok Community Help Foundation join Tim Newton this morning on Good Morning Thailand.
