i'll check it out and give a status report in a few days!

Have :

• Kbank
• Bad Credit

Need :

• Any Internet Bank that I can sign up for Online
• Accepts Electronic Funds Deposits (EFT)
• Use my USA Address
• Has a Debit Card

Can anyone advise?

I have tried ING, which would be perfect, however, i'm required to make an EFT when opening and Kbank doesn't have routing numbers, therefore I can't get ING

no worries JB1, I know you were just being helpful, I'll probably check out that area anyway just in case.

Is there a website where I can buy my train ticket from Hualompang Station to Vientiane, Laos online? If not, is there a site that list the prices of the train tickets?

Does anyone have any information about a Hard ball league here in Bangkok? All I can find are softball leagues, nothing about baseball. I heard there was one, but not having any luck online.

Does anyone know of any Banks of Exchange places that accept MORE THAN THE NORMAL currencies that other places offer?

I'm willing to try anything...

OR is anyone going to Europe soon?

Yes, the Laos visa is $30-$35 depending on where you are from. Its an overnight process for the visa so plan on staying at least 1 night there.

I hate dealing with border crossings, always so many scams and people over charging. I'm a US citizen, was reading an online service that takes you there, they tell you its 1500 baht, you pay them, they do it, so I'm assuming their making $15-$20+ off you there.

Should I exchange baht to USD before I go, or is it all the same if I just showed up with Baht only?

Hi,

I have found that that for me the best place to change foreign currency in Bangkok. Are the little booths near Sukhumvit Soi5. There is a small plaza opposite Gulliver's bar, leading to the Arab area. If you walk through past The Restaurants and Hotels you can not miss the booths. I don't know about Czech currency though, but worth giving them a try. I find their exchange rates very good + they are not that bothered if the notes are marked or taped together.

jb1

I''m confused by your reply to my question.

Besides their rates and accepting notes that are marked, do they accept a wider range of currency than the places at the airport, kbank, siam, or other booths along sukhumvit?

It's a bum gun Adam!! and go buy some sheets...Heh Some intended innuendo in emphasizing suKUMvit??

lol, no innuendo intended, but, i'm sure there are several ways to say SUKumIT

And yes, I have bed sheets now!! haha

Man, anyone else in BKK last night, it felt like I was in the middle of a hurricane!

Try Vientiane, Laos. They are the best locally and will not ask for tickets,paperwork, etc 1000B per. You should be able to get two tourist visas there so 2000B.

That sounds pretty good.

I didn't see any flights going there via AirAsia, so I'm assuming I would have to take a train?

So I'll just go to the Embassy with only my passport, pay them 2,000 to get a double entry and then take a train back and I'm all set.

Are there any other fees? Does Laos charge a fee to enter their country?

Phnom Penh does not issue Double entries at the moment.

You might get a Single entry, but have to wait 3days, go to Embassy by yourself and supply their requirements, flightticket, confirmed accomodation, thai person guarantee for you, may be bank book or international credit card.

ew... okay

so no point in going to PP, thats good to know

What are my options then?

You will not get such a visa in PP and it may be doubtful anywhere if you have a history of tourist visas and are not able to supply minimum requirements for documents. Cost of each tourist visa is 1,000 baht in local currency.

I have had 1 tourist visa in the past.

As far as min requirements, they want a plane ticket and a bank statement? is there anything else?

I don't have any money in any bank

I don't have a ticket because i don't plan to fly anywhere

Advice?

I need to do a Visa run in 2 weeks. I would like to get a double entry visa in Phenom Pen. I do not have a plane ticket, I don't have have bank statements, I only have my passport.

Last year I was able to get a 3 entry Visa in USA for free, now I heard its not free anymore. Does anyone know the new price?

I had a 3 entry Visa on my first trip to Thailand exactly 1 year ago. It was free at the time, went to the Los Angeles Thai Immigration office on a Monday morning, picked it up the next day.

Visa was good for 6 months.

3 Entry meant I was allowed to enter Thailand a total of 3 times without having to do anything extra.

60 days each time with a 30 day 1,900 baht extension option.

I have Czech Crowns I need to Exchange in Bangkok. Is there a place that exchanges a wider range of currencies in Bangkok?

Good information in this Thread, however, I still have some questions.

FACTS :

• I have a tight budget :-(
• Arrived in Bangkok, October 2nd (30 day arrival visa)
• I want 1 year student Visa
• Will sign up at Walen for 180 classes on October 26th. (25k baht)

Questions

1. How long does it take to get the paperwork?
2. Where is the easiest place to go get the non-im ED Visa? (additional fees?)
3. Every 90 days, is my extension free? OR Do I have to pay an extra 1900 baht to the immigration office each time?

Yeah, I found the same 6 year out of date site and also saw Damon visited Thailand. The national team has to come from american's with thai citizenship for them to do as well as they have and be ranked above other countries that actually have year around programs and leagues.

I didn't try emailing them, let me know what you find out.

cheers,

Adam

Where do the Thai locals play baseball at?

in 2010 The Thailand baseball national team was ranked 18th in the world ahead of many countries that have regular leagues, yet I can't find anything about real baseball being played in Thailand.

Does anyone know anything about real baseball in Thailand?
