Hi Bens
As I have mentioned I travelled whilst on bail with no issues and no questions. Reading some material on Thailand does suggest most of SE Asia is stopping any offenders entering.

Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.

I visited Thailand while on the SOR and having duly notified my PPO. They obviously didn't put a notice out on me as I got in no problem. Trips of under 30 days to Thailand are visa-free for UK citizens, and when I was there several years ago there was no question about convictions on the immigration form that you filled in on the plane (though who knows, this could have changed). I was attending a wedding in a rural area in the north of Thailand, far from Bangkok or any of the places in the south with seedy reputations, so maybe that was a factor, or maybe not, I have no idea.

As you say, the problem is with the destination, not the person. That's probably not unusual for most people.

Hi
I have extend thai family - via my father marriage to a Thai lady, he is now deceased but I wish to return to visit them as I have done numerous times prior to my offence. I actually visited for 3 months whilst on bail with no concerns by the Police.
I am surprised your PPU said what they did as though I am low risk, assessed as unsuitable for SOT courses etc I was told they would not approve the travel due to the reputation of Thailand.
I will be interested in your findings as my research is showing it as a negative.
Good luck

Hi,
I am on the sex offenders register for another 6 yrs following a conviction for historical offence.My wife is Thai and married for 11 yrs.
My question is can I go to Thailand for a holiday.I have spoken to my local ppu who have said I am low risk and have no travel bans and to contact the Thai embassy.
I did this and was told nothing to worry about as long as not on wanted list.
However reading on the internet many people have had a problem.
Has anyone been through this and entered/ sent back from Thailand recently
