  1. CNN's story. " A young Lebanese boy goes for a little drive after praying and bumps into a synagogue by accident " then he gets killed.
  2. Yes. Went last night it was great. Didn't see any lobster. I'm a Bonvoy/ Hilton honors member and got 25% off for myself and date, only a hair over 1000 baht net. Not that crowded.
  3. Sooooo funny! Spoken from a real champ who watches CNN 24/7.
  4. Yes. Just seven paragraphs only today to explain what most do in two sentences!!
  5. A lot of things change in 9 years especially in Asia. Hoi An is very friendly towards tourists.
  6. You are of course assuming at 5am in Pattaya ALL concerned in this matter were of sound mind. 🤣 I mean time and setting ARE factors. Your genius is quite funny in some posts.
  7. Even when she smokes meth everyday when 6 months pregnant? Got it.
  8. You should add Khamenei's daughter, son in law and grandchild. All dead.
  9. Fear mongering much?? You actually stated Americans in Thailand should exercise caution! Like when high-fiving other Iranians maybe? Why don't you get off CNN and learn how positive today's actions are for the world.
  10. You still have to leave after 60 days or extend and pay 1,900 baht for 30 day extension at immigration and then leave. You seem pretty concerned about $$ METV is expensive and all you want is 120 days. Also for Cambodia you have to pay for a visa most likely. Malaysia flights to KL and Penang are cheap and you probably don't have to pay for a visa. You can also do 60 day tourist visa extend once for 30 days and leave and come back visa exempt 30 days or whatever new rule may be.Or 60 day tourist visa and come back 30 days and extend 30 days.
  11. I wonder how Hadja Lahbib can estimate 500,000 unsafe abortions? Seems like a figure that is impossible to calculate.
  12. My post right above and says Air Asia the airlines you mentioned. That's why I posted.I took a 6:05 Pm flight on a Friday. My friend was in same flight two days earlier no onward ticket asked for either.
  13. Just returned Air Asia from Saigon three weeks ago. No exit ticket asked for.
  14. I think with your initial SETV just get a 30 day extension in Thailand after that. Remember if you do some traveling in Thailand and you checked into a hotel in Patong or Hua Hin for example you can get the little paperwork from hotel and go to the immigration office in those areas. Then go to somewhere for two weeks as you do and just enter visa exempt for final 30 days. You will have exit ticket back home already and don't have to worry about getting another visa in Vietnam or anywhere else.
  15. When discussing the " time " it takes to do the online Vietnam tourist visa I'm not counting the 3 or 4 days to get approval!! It's the few minutes you need to type in the info. The Thai SETV and METV aren't a few minutes. That's it. Bye
  16. Yes the process of a 30 day extension that takes easily a 1/2 day and costs 1900 baht is stupid.
  17. That's only 90 days Jack. Your suggestion is not good. Thanks anyways. This was Thai visa forum in the past! I find my suggestion for an easy 4 to 6 months stay for folks over 50/60 to make great sense as do many other posters on here.
  18. Of all posters on visa threads I find it quite Weird that you don't know why Thais can't super easily travel to many countries! Mean really!! Tell me how long does it take you to get the EVISA from Vietnam? Then tell us how long you think it takes the average person to apply for METV? Even SETV? The questions often don't make sense , they want ridiculous information , want to know details Vietnam doesn't care/ansk about etc! Don't you get why you seem to practically live in Saigon because Vietnam is stealing everyone who used to go to Thailand and they visit Vietnam exclusively now.
  19. And then there's the elephant in the room in England and a gigantic massive one in New England called six to eight months of Winter!! Thailand should for ONCE offer a stay of 4 to 6 months for certain countries for people over the age of 50 ( or 55 or maybe 60) to easily be snowbirds here. Perhaps a few requirements but still super easy to obtain ( much much easier than the current METV ) which still requires ridiculous exits after 60 days ( without stupid extension )! Most people who can spend 4 to 6 months somewhere and have a home somewhere else bring in good money to Thailand and spend it daily. They want peace of mind and don't want to travel out of Thailand every 30 or 60 days just to spend MORE money outside Thailand.
  20. So why do you think Hong Kong, Singapore , Malaysia , Korea and Japan offer 90 days with no visa to many countries? Even Thailands SETV is a pain. Even a 30 day extension costs 1900 baht and easily a 1/2 day of wasted time and takes a half page in your passport ( which is ridiculous) Thailand does not need to have visas " on offer" as you say if it needs tourists quite badly.
  21. FYI You can simply tell the street vendor or the staff at Amazon cafe etc to put in less sugar for as long as I can remember. WAN haaa sip. There you go 50% less sugar for you.
  22. Hmm. He lives in a well heated mansion now with just one other person...
  23. Your first post shows you are racist and look DOWN on a lot of groups of people.
  24. I was quite surprised an hour ago I went to my local 7/11 in BKK all the beer curtains were pulled down. As I was about to check out the Thai woman in front of me purchased the large size whiskey bottle ( the one in the gold color box ) with no issue! Can anyone explain this? Actually I'm now realizing they probably didn't pull the curtains up from last night yet. I originally thought the ban started last night at 6pm.
