sriracha john Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Was referred to this little gem by ovenman and hadn't noticed it posted before....

dr_Pat_Pong Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 AFAIK the increase only relates to the USA offices. Probably buck depreciation inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstumbo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Is it US offices, or US citizens? Does Thailand have different rates for different countries of citizenship. I know I pay more for visas to India and China because I am a US citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovenman Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Is it US offices, or US citizens? I'm pretty sure it's US offices. The visa fees are set by the Foreign Ministry in baht. With the dollar having dropped so much against the baht, I'm sure that the powers-that-be are eager to make up the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstumbo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 That should mean all transaction done in Dollars due to the value of the dollar dropping. It makes me feel better to think of it as the US dollar not dropping, but instead all the world's other currencies getting stronger. After all, a dollar is still worth a dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
