I am taking my son (9) to Australia for a 3 week holiday but leaving Mum in Thailand. I have heard that there is some requirement - a letter from Mum - that needs to be presented at departure. Is this a myth? Does anybody have any experience with this situation?

My wife had a similar timeframe on our trip - we just decided to renew it - it took about 4 days and her new passport was in our letterbox.

All that hard work burning the forests paying off now.

Is this because lots of tourists were complaining about sand being walked into their hotel rooms?

must have been slippery when wet

Those wet waterways bring bad luck - make sure you buy an amulet if driving tourists around in a boat!

I guess nobody that thought it worth mentioning heard 3 gun shots in their condo. A month ago? TiT indeed.

Temple tours with the gik - classic!

One suspects there is more to this story. 

 

There would have been a reason for cops to demand payment. Yes, police carry out random stop and searches but they don't ask for cash unless they find something. 

 

What did police find on her or her friends?

I thought the same - a little 'evidence disappearance fee' and on your way. But I don't know why she would then go on social media about it? If you are a celeb, wouldn't you want it hushed. Or is she a celeb? Or a bad celeb? Are the police really that dodgy? so many questions......

Not surprised they caught her so quickly...those trousers sure would stand out in a crowd.

It looks like she is still in her pyjamas.

parents should put their phone number on school bags of kids using the school bus to prevent such upset in the event a child gets lost.

Not a very good school bus that doesn't deliver children home. Was it a public bus with a 6 yo child on it, or a 'school bus'? Very different questions raised.

Brilliant website management.

Showing office with phone number.

"Number does not exist".

My guess: closed.

 

Airport office phone number rings.

But nobody answers it - what a disgraceful service they are providing me. Thanks for your reply.

Does anybody know if the Thai Airways office in town is open. The Thai website says yes but there phone is disconnected and google maps shows as permanently closed-  nobody answering other numbers or emails.

But none by criminals Dah

I know what you mean BUT - a caveat to the anonymous surrender of guns in Australia was much harsher penalties for failure to surrender unlicensed weapons. Ultimately criminals will be criminals.  At least some deadly weapons may be out of reach of those that probably shouldn't have access to them.

There should be a whole fleet of those helicopters and water bomber planes.

Chiang Mai only has 'green' air when it is raining - which fortunately has been unseasonably happening this year. As soon as rain stops, and things dry out, the new fires start up again. 

How many tons of plastic did they see?

I suggest the government make electricity cheaper - then we would save money.

Ha ha - squirrel is a classic. I wanted to call our daughter Claudia, but hearing my wife say it made me change my mind.
