She thought she would see a big payday. Greed blinded her.

What a fantastic scam ! Get the Chines to build countless casinos in Sihanoukville, and then ban gambling ????

Not the same. Online gambling is banned, not casinos.

I was there last month and the article you link to is accurate, but the worst thing was the pervasive smell of rotting garbage. I'll never go back. 

No

Made absolutely no impression on Dollar/Baht in fact the Baht has in fact mariginally gained strength since that release against the USD

Yes, just now I saw that the dollar is below 30.

If I stay in a hotel , the hotel does the paperwork.

Like they have done to Sihanoukville 

Who will pick up the dog poop?

When I arrive back in Thailand I put my address on the arrival card. That's all you need for the next 90 days.

Better than buying stuff from china

I thought about it and I go to Cambodia often, but every day there is a power outage. With all the Chinese buildings going up it will get worse.

Should have taken the train.

The same happened to me at Swampy last month. The TM6 was filled except the "Visa Number". I passed her the passport opened with TM30 on the extension of stay page. As I had written that my intention to stay in the country was 1 YEAR, after I inserted my fingerprints and she entered some data in the computer she told me: "Do you know that I can give you only 30 days?"...

I told her: "I have 1 year extension of stay", and she answered me: "Why didn't you write the Visa number?"..."Because I don't know which number I have to enter". She threw my passport and told me to go back in the line and ask to the assistant in the queue... This is the attitude...instead of insert herself the number and finish in 5 seconds, she sent me back and she lost another minute to remake everything (and of course I lost a lot of time more because I went back to the queue....)... the Thai bath is stronger compared to other currency, but the main reason about the decreasing number of people here is the Thai attitude, and if you ask me why I stay, it is because I am long married to a Thai lady and we need to stay to "take care her family", but if things continue to be worst, could be that we will leave.....

She did you a favor by not giving you a 30 day visa. Count your blessings.

Over a decade, you should know to put the reentry number as visa.

After more reading I see I can get a 1 year retirement extention on a Cambodian e class visa (not the electronic evisa).

You can go for a really long walk along Saen Saep canal. Go up one of the sois from Sukhumvit road, eg soi 55 from Thong Lo BTS, and head east. Interesting around Muslim area past Ramkamhaeng airport link station, people cross canal on small boats attached to cable powered by a man on a bicycle. If you go far enough you can get to the aeroplane graveyard.

 

Also walk along Phra Kanong canal, quite pretty. Start from On Nut BTS, walk north to On Nut road, east along On Nut road and north up one of the sois, think 17 or 19, explore.

 

Google maps and Maps ME show some of the parts of the canals with walking paths.

 

Do have to watch out for the odd motorbike, especially at peak commuting times.

 

 

Thanks I will check that out.

If you walk to the end of Suk. soi 10, there is a footbridge that takes you into Sirikit Park area but you can also follow the path through the old tabacco monopoly area all the way down to the end of Suk soi-4.

Best walking and cycling is Bang Krachao...Go to Bearing BTS, short ride from there to ferry pier that crosses to Bang Krachao.  Very busy on weekends as there is also a very popular market there.

Yrs, I've been to that island, very peaceful.

ANZ bank told me a job is required for an ATM account.

That's it.

Feed the poor thing some grilled chicken livers, he will remember you.<removed>

There are direct flights now. Look on expedia co th
