I live in Cambodia, and got some friends in Thailand. Add Joshua J. Bouw on Facebook, I'll see what can be done. Normally, you can jump on a flight the next day for a small amount of money and the airline will take care of it. Nothing large normally.

I can confirm about the credit card + passport needing to be the same being a thing.

Wow soo much help from Steem users! I am so happy about it ! I already contacted my parents and i will see what they can do. But if there would be a problem i will contact you on direct message. Thank you SO MUCH <3

that's really kind of you :)) nice to see some helpful people around.

go to slack and contact me directly -> @cryptoctopus http://steem.herokuapp.com/ we will see what we can do to get you out of there. And I'll pray for you. Also contact https://steem.slack.com/team/gritt-n-auld - he basically live next to where you are, has friends with bed and food...he told me this stuff happens all the time. (just be careful but he seems like an okay guy)

Thank you for the information ,its so kind from you! i really appreciate it !

I don't buy your sob story. It's a classic stranded traveler scam. And why would you go and register on bitcointalk to promote your post after only hearing about Steemit just now from Instagram? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466593.msg15571847#msg15571847

Downvoting unless hard proof is posted.

I have no problem to prove it for you because i am saying the truth. Just let me know how to prove it and i could do it. So sad that there are haters even in a bad situation like this. You shouldn´t think , you should know -.-

If you actually meet @grittenald's friend and he confirms it with a picture, that's the threshold of proof I'll believe.

Why should i meet up with an unknown person just that you have a better feeling? There are many other ways to prove it. I can Facetime with that guy and confirm that i am here stuck in Bangkok. I also have my old tickets which i can show to prove that i am saying the truth! I neither right comments under your post that you are lying. After i prove that i am write i expect
an apology of you.

I thought you wanted help? Isn't that what your "damsel in distress" routine is about?

Now I still don’t know what to do, how to get home, or what to do about my visa. an update will follow. Please pray for me.

@pfunk yes you are right and i already got help. Steem users helped me to get hope, find new ideas and so on. And a discussion with you wont help the situation.

why do you have to be so hard on her?! totally unneccessary. why would she feel the need to prove something to you, a stranger on the internet.

Because the rewards here are real and it attracts scammers like flies on shit. This kind of post needs to be met with extreme skepticism. Just like users who have only registered 25 minutes ago to post twice just in the comments here and upvote the poster twice. https://steemd.com/@beckygee

Welcome and great post. Keep it up! Oh and i upvoted. Happy hunting Steem. Cheers!

thank you a lot :)

There is a lot worse places to be stranded than BKK all will end well I'm sure.

well thats true but if you dont have money, nowhere is nice..

at least thailand is cheap, but still, not an ideal situation.

Thank you guys SO much for all of your lovely comments and kind words. Some of you really tried to help me out and I appreciate that so much. I would've never thought that posting a simple Blog on a website like this would get me so much help.
I just posted an Update about my story now, I finally managed to get to a Hotel room. Part 2 is here https://steemit.com/journey/@ashleybr/update-on-my-stranded-inthailand-story-i-m-in-a-hotel-now

add katie-lynn boulard on FB, she's my friend and she's currently doing an exchange in bangkok. She's really sweet and she said you can come to hers for the evening if you want to have some company. she only has a room so no bed for you :/ but at least something, I'm sure she can give you a meal and just some company. :))

wow you are so kind, thank you sooo much for trying to help me! I appreciate it so much! I actually managed to get a hotel for the night now, but please tell your friend thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I don't even know you, but I'm genuinely worried about you ^^ please let us know when you made it home safe. Can't imagine sitting in an airport for hours and hours all by yourself :(

aww, that's so sweet for you to say! thanks so much Anna! I've just posted a new update, I'm safe for now! thank you again for your concerns.

stupid airline, they should've let you go on the first plane if it hadn't taken off yet!

Where abouts in Thailand were you staying?
Where are you trying to get a flight to?

I just got back from 2 weeks in Phuket on Monday the 11th July.

Best of luck! Just remember, there's plenty of worse off places to be stuck at! I find the Thai people lovely and quite helpful.

yeah you are right. thai people are heplful until they speak the same language

What do you mean by that?

wishing all the best for you. update us when you get a flight.

hope you get home safe!

pls post an update when you got a flight back!

i will !!! :)

sit tight, I'm sure you'll find a solution

thank you so much for your lovely words

you'll find a way home, your family wont just let you sit there in thailand!

i hope so !

maybe you can get a cheap last minute ticket at the airport, since you're there anyway

there arent any "cheap" flights back home and i gave my last money for the flight to bangkok :/

omg what a nightmare.. how long until your visa expires ?!

can't you get an emergency visa or something

oh i dont know

It will expire in 1 day :/

At least one good thing happened to you today, you found steemit!!

yeah :D

please share some more pictures of your actual trip when you're home, looks so fun

I made an exchange year in bangkok so I know what its like to be there on your own... good luck to u <3

thanks a lot <3

good luck girl <3

thank you <3

you'll get home for sure dont stress urself :) praying 4u

Thanks a lot

Can you verify on any pic that this account is actually yours?

Thanks.

satisfied now? Lol you haters are getting ridiculous.

I verrified my account with an picture. Just updated a new picture on this blogpost :)

Very beautiful girl!
I wish you earn a lot of money!
Good luck!

so how much earlier did you need to be there? 1h? that's good to know, I'll go traveling by myself soon too and I cant afford to miss any flights as well..

they told me - you have to be there 75min before the flight( for a long distance flight)
i´ve never knew this before

well, maybe get a cheap hotel for 1 night, contact your family and plan what to do and try to get a cheap flight back tomorrow

i will try my best, thank you :)

I don't know if this is real but my tentacles swolled up!

really ... -.- this is not the right place for that kinda comment lol

lol...get real, we all know this is a "scam"...I'm glad I clicked though ;)

well, maybe you can ask your parents or someone else to send you money..? at least so you can get a flight home or a hotel? :/ so sorry for u

I tried to contact them, but i couldnt reach them because of the different time zones. But my friend booked a hotel with her paypal for me , so i am save for the night.
Thank you for your lovely words !

Oh hottie

I also missed my flight once to australia, I was sooooo annoyed, luckily my boyfriend could borrow me enough for the ticket home but your situation really sucks..

oh lucky girl. hope everything will end up fine for me too

so sorry for you :/

well, on a brighter note.. looked like a really nice holiday^^

Yeah it was, till the last day :/

so much bad luck in a single day :O

I never lost a flight before... I thought i would make it on time ....

Ive been to Thailand before, had such a great experience...

that's so mean that they didnt let you in even though you were 35 min early!! and especially on a long distance flight -.-

well, I think the counter just closes at a certain time before boarding..

yeah you´re right :/

I also thought there must be a way to let me in cause it was just boarding time... but there was no chance :(

keep your head up, everything will end well!

Thank you a lot for your lovely words.

If they declined payment then your friend didn't lose any money. Perhaps they can buy you another ticket and go with you to the airport next time.

My friend is in my hometown, she couldn´t come with me to the airport :/

ohh no! any update what you're doing now

I will let you know if anything happen :/

how long have you been sitting at the airport now :S

17 Hours for now :/

don't worry you'll find a way! maybe family can send you money via westernunion!

I will try my best. thank you for your lovely words :)

Hi Ashley, what's your instagram account? :-)

stay safe!

Thank you so much.

I can give you a job if you want. If you have access to the internet and a webcam you could join up on my site http://KLYEMAX.COM and make a lot more money camming your day to day stuff with your clothes on than coming in here and making long winded posts for a few dollars.

take care!

the great and mighty lord jesus guides you child, may the force be with you!

and I'm reading this as I'm leaving for Bangkok in 1 week.. maybe we'll meet there hahaha no hopefully you won't be stuck in the airport until then!

hopefully i will be home in 1 week, but would be nice to meet you :)

maybe someone can buy a ticket for you with another payment method (not credit card)

I tried to contact my parents so they can help me. So much help on steemit. it gives me hope. good choice to make an account.

why do you have to be so RUDE?! do you really think that helps her right now? If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all! basic rule of the internet.

Can you show me the row in my text where i asked for money ? I was just asking that you guys pray for me that everything will end fine. So sad that there are haters even in a bad situation like this

Yeah. No money, and with the Louis Vuitton bag.

no need to make her feel even worse. thats probably not real LV, but from the markets in thailand.. and she was on holiday and went shopping, her budget only got tight at the end of the trip.. ever thought about that

where did u find fake LV in Bangkok ? You have never been in Bangkok, have u?
I don't think someone in a critical situation like this could have the time to post on steemit and hope for the money coming.

she said that she's sitting in an airport, and she has nothing else to do right? So why not write down the story if she's bored anyway? she can't escape the situation right now.
