Gems are bot really scam if you bought them from reputable stores.

I've got some gemstones from gemopolis sometime ago and, i wonder if it's possible to re-sell them back to the shops like gold?

Oops.. did not realise the post on top with the debunk website.

The actual body of these makaliporn are at Wat Prangmuni over at Promburi, Singburi and is a tourist attraction to those who read amulet booklets.

The tree is not true, there were stories about these trees and there are also amulets made with tree barks of these.

They are called makaliporn (fruit fairies). The website that you found those pictures DO own the body of a pair. I doubt they are human but i will like to stay rational.

There actually are.certifications for fortune telling in Thailand, accreditated ones are not common because there is just so much more unaccreditated ones.

Some are good cold readers while some puts your date of birth, time of birth into a computer and generates a data according to their school of astrological knowledge.

This must be a joke to put it into law, i just hope fortune tellers will be kinder with their words. It may happen is better then it will happen.

I bought my ticket at Mor Chit today (but I verified that it's possible to book tickets at Thai Ticket Major).

Chan Tour

Cabs have been trying to tell me to book Chan tour opposite the street but I found Chan tour is at Booth 114** (I hope my memory is right) on the third floor of Mor Chit terminal,

Tel: 02-6187418-20 (Business hour)

Tel: 04-3247333, 04-3332222 (24 hour hotline) *They don't really speak English over the phone.

The last bus leaves Mor Chit at 2230PM, takes 8 hours and should reach Udon Thani at 0600 - 0630AM.

thaivisaservice.com & jack golf seems to be charging regular cost to filipinos, malaysians and singaporeans (minus only the cost to cambodian visa) thus i thought there was a change of law. sorry for misunderstanding, i guess i will find out in two days time.

No joke intended. Now I understand, you want to stay more than one month when you return to Thailand. Thanks for clearing this up.

That's why one apply for a visa from an embassy abroad, ain't it?

Thanks. I guess the visa-run agencies are taking advantage by also collecting the fees from clients from these countries.

@Semper,

i do not have to pay for visas to malaysia, singapore, laos, cambodia and thailand. i do not need to apply for them as well, i will get them as soon as i arrive in these countries.

i am a foreigner (to thailand) from a country of the ASEAN and so I get visa on arrivals (30 day at the airport, 15 day by land). by doing a tourist visa run i will get 60 days (extendable by 30 days).

as long you are not a citizen of the country - you will need a visa, and to get a longer stay - you will need to do a visa application at an embassy (Thai in my case) abroad.

I think you got mixed up with the term ASEAN and Asian.

I did say "ASEAN countries" instead of Asian country. ASEAN stands for "Association of Southeast Asian Nations" just because I am Asian - it doesn't mean I can travel to any Asian country without a VISA.

Back to the topic, I will try traveling to Udon and I guess everyone is right - I can just stay one more day if I miss the first Vientiane Express bus. However I'll stay over the Thai side :-)

List of countries which have concluded bilateral agreements

on visa fee exemption with Thailand

1. Malaysia
   

1. The Philippines (visa fee exemption for stay of not exceeding 59 days)
   

1. Singapore
   

1. Republic of Korea
   

1. Tunisia

hmm wait till it becomes 23,xxxB / Baht of Gold

it went up to 26,xxxB/ Baht a month or two ago, it is well rumored between gold buyers that gold price may drop this year due to western currency instability

I never had to pay for the tourist visa, is there a flat fee for all foreigners now? including Singaporeans/ Filipinos/ Malaysians?

Are there any official website that states the requirements for tourist visa - and fees if any?

You said you don't need a Visa to Laos as you are asian. I wonder what Visa would you wan't from Laos?

I don't need to apply for visa for ASEAN counties (all neighboring countries) as I will get them on arrival but for a foreigner to stay in Bangkok (or Thailand), they will need a Thai visa. I am getting a Tourist visa at the Thai embassy over at Vientiane.

Okay I think it's until 12 noon.

8AM bus to Vientiane, if I arrive at 1030AM - Laos side, it's still a little risky if I want to submit them on the same day.

i think you will have enough time ?

you can print off and fill in an application form and take some photos with you to save some time if your worried.

also you could get a taxi from the border to take you straight to the embassy.

Did you meant I will have enough time if I take the 8AM express buss from Udon to Vientiane, to submit my visa application on the same day? I read somewhere that the embassy close for application at 11AM, another says 12PM. Confusing.

For everyone looking for the website to Chan Tour, I found an online booking system online where you can book in advance. It's surprisingly easy, the buses are available to book on Thai Ticket Major website! I have not really tried the system but at least I know the time table and fees now.

I will not go through the online booking system but I will ask the ticketing booth at Major Cineplex tomorrow.

As you are traveling from Bangkok, why not try Cambodia instead of Laos.

Tempting but I'll leave it to next time to travel to Angkor with a friend, for visa runs - I think Vientiane is more preferred as I can speak Issarn Language.
