they don't give visa on arrival to just anybody. only 16 or so nations are on the list and Austria is most definitely not one of them.

I think you meant "ads". but your experience is not universal. if it were then this website wouldn't exist.

ad revenue. simples.

oh that's why! thanks for letting us know.

whiskey dosnae come frae Scotland pal! but whisky does ????

seen one temple, you've seen 'em all. Pattaya bars are much more interesting than temples.

does this mean my Grab food delivery will be late? ????

I used to do that about 25-odd years ago when I was staying on the Khao San Road/Soi Rambuttri area. it was fun as hell, especially coming back home drunk from Nana Plaza on those crazy old "green rockets". once I took a random bus to the end of the line which was somewhere down near the river. I took the one baht ferry across the river to God knows where and got chatting to a young Thai fella who wanted to know what the hell I was up to. he bought me a Coke and then I just turned around and went back the same way I came. great way too see the city if you have the time and the forbearance for the non-AC buses (cheaper, better view)

I used to have this tainted viewpoint as well, rammed into me by my God-fearing mother at a very young age. it took me a very long time but, thank Buddha, I eventually got over it.

there are plenty of hardworking people here.

makes sense to me, perhaps you need to think about it a bit longer instead of just trashing the merchant.

it still is. I even stayed in the Swastika Hotel in Sanur Bali. Swastika ≠ Nazi Swastika.

oh, that's just around the corner from me and I'm in desperate need of a dental check-up. I'll check them out, thanks for the tip.

nobody's trying to put your down, we're simply pointing out the difference between VOA and VE. but that's ok, you're from the USA so we understand your reticence to accept such an innocent correction.

yes, however it was incorrectly reffered to as "visa-on- it's not semantics, the two are completely different visa classes. you don't become a seasoned traveller by pretending such details are unimportant. but if you want to continue being ignorant and call a spade a shovel then be my guest...

@Onerakis spot on, Canadians are not eligible for Visa On Arrival. VOA is not the same as Visa Exempt. a seasoned traveller should know this!

cryptic? I thought it was abundantly clear ???? thanks for your succinct explanation, I was in the middle of compiling a somewhat more convoluted response. I might add that I think it's nice that he goes back once in a while to visit his daughter. maybe he saves up all year or longer to be able to afford it and that's obviously much easier then coming up with B47K on the spot due to a simple, and not uncommon, error.

it doesn't have to be a return ticket, an onward flight to another country will suffice.

return tickets to Blighty cost 800k? wow, that is expensive! /s

yes, the OP already knows that, he mentioned it in his response to Mutt Daeng.

I've only tried E and it was just a handful of times. the first few times were great, nice euphoric feeling and easy comedown. after that either the quality dropped off a cliff or I built up a resistance so I stopped. I poison my body with alcohol instead ????

sounds like old mate might not be able to meet the requirements at a nearby embassy as it seems he's brassic.

the 27K presumably covers the financial aspect of the chap's situation.

don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
