try the first print shop over the road and down the street for any 'official' hotel bookings. They were very helpful....

Success.

We applied for and got a 12 month multi-entry tourist visa.

It was her first application and turnaround was less than 72 hours.

She applied on Tuesday afternoon,

Received a phone call from the embassy on Wednesday afternoon asking to confirm my name,

Received via courier this morning with very positive results.

Thanks David for your input.

Thanks David,

It should arrive today in the post. I'll let you know how things go.

My partner submitted her tourist visa application on Tuesday, received a phone call asking a couple of general questions yesterday. When she checked the tracking site it said her passport had been couriered today. No phone call or any message saying her visa had been approved. Should we be worried by such a quick turnaround?

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum. I am looking for a reliable lawyer in Chonburi city who may be able to help with adoption matters. English or Thai speaking is ok.

thanks.

London said, "At present, there is definitely an over supply of condos in BKK, BUT NOT an oversupply of condos in the RIGHT LOCATION. Thats where you need to concentrate."

But where is the RIGHT LOCATION ?? I am looking to buy in Bangkok and any pointers on location are appreciated.

trogers is 100% correct in his answer to my earlier post: it "Depends on the amount you are prepared to invest".

My target market may be different to yours and thus you may wish to invest more, the same, or less than me.

However, remember in ANY property investment, anywhere in the world, there are only 3 rules to remember: Location. Location. Location.

I personally prefer views, easy access to transport and ready access to shops. Now , for some, this may mean Sukhumvit, others Silom, others around Wireless Road, and others around the river.

As an idea for you to think about: always look where the 5 star International Hotels are located. They are more likely to go for the best locations.

Once you've pinpointed your area, then buy the best you can with the money you have. DON'T be greedy. Be realistic. Buy the building, not just the condo itself.

Then, always be prepared to spend money to maintain it. That will ensure good tenants.

london,

Excellent unbiased advice. As a newbie here, shortly to invest in the area, thankyou very much.

Wow,

exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much
