Was in Anurothai yesterday (Oct 12) and saw this at the bordercrossing:
(photo is 1604 pixels wide)
Just makes me wonder what's on the other side and will we be able to penetrate into Burma?? My recollection of the area is that all the mountains are stripped bare of the beautiful trees that used to be.
Well, although the Thai truck just passed the barrier after a few words, I was not allowed to walk on to the Birman side, which is a 300m walk, the military/guards/boys told me.
Seems normal, I see the same happening on any Thai border when I am there.
Its a crossing for locals only not for a foreigner. Nice to see that it is being used.

i had a ride up there in march 06 and when i saw the sign to the border i thought id go up and see if the border was a river or what ? as i was in no hurry to go anywhere and had no idea where id end up that night
after what seemed forever on this tiny little road i saw some army people under the bonnet of what i thought was a dead hummer so i did the sign language for can i go to take a pic of the border and they looked at me said something and pointed back the way i came
i pointed towards the border and said 5 minits please and an older man said ok come and pointed to the border
so we rode up there i took this pic which is the same gate in poor suckers picture but the fence is higher / new in his taken ? after 06

My wife received her B2 in Chiang Mai so I do have some insight.It is her NOT you that must prove to them why she will return to Thailand. The denial a year ago will have to be overcame. My wife was able to show her business, a car and a house in her name. She was able to show here parents and a son in Thailand. For the interview she had my passport and my bank book with her, yes they looked at the bank book and she was told no problem.. Your stability hear is a factor but as said its her that has to show why she will return not you. Wishing you luck.

Wrong at most places - there is nothing in police order 777/2551 that supports that view. Only the 800k in deposit account or more has the requirement of being in account a fixed period of time.
(5) Annual income plus bank account deposit totaling not lessthan Baht 800,000 as of the filing date of applicationThank You.

MEDICAL TOURISMExclusive resort in Chiang Mai for Swiss Alzheimer's patientsBAMRUNG AMNATCHAROENRIT
THE NATION
Chiang Mai October 11, 2013 1:00 amSwiss tourists usually take the 11-hour flight to Thailand to explore its cultural sites and enjoy the white-sand beaches, but from next year, many could also be flying in to make use of the long-stay facilities in Chiang Mai for Alzheimer's patients.Vivo bene resort for Swiss Alzheimer patients will be opened officially in February 2014. Located at Doi Saket, Chiang Mai, its construction costs Bt250 million and can welcome 90 patients in capacity.
Bernhard Rutz, who set up the Vivo Bene resort in the northern city last year, said the location was perfect, as the local people are friendly, there is easy access to medical services, the living costs are affordable and it is rich in natural and cultural beauty.
Rutz is one of the three major shareholders of Vivo Bene Thailand, which is wholly owned by Swiss operators. With an investment of Bt250 million, construction of the resort began last November and is scheduled to open its doors officially in February.
Located in Doi Saket, the 12-rai (2-hectare) complex will have six units with 12 rooms to house about 90 patients. Inside, facilities range from restaurant and spa with massage to a hairdressing and beauty salon. Four hotel villas with two rooms each will serve as accommodation for visiting family members and friends.
Its location, just 20 minutes from downtown Chiang Mai, ensures easy access to urgent medical care. Rutz said he expected occupancy of 60-70 per cent after opening, and if his projections are correct and the resort proves to be a success, it will be expanded to increase the number of patients to 200. Vivo Bene already has three patients in hand.
The company is fully foreign-owned because the investment was made under the Board of Investment. Rutz said he had already had a bitter experience in Bali, where he set up a two-star hotel using a local nominee to deal with the investment regulations and ended up being cheated out of the business.
Though the resort has been built in Lanna style, all its facilities and services follow Swiss standards. The patients will be taken care of by experienced German- and French-speaking medical staff, who will also occasionally take them out of the complex for exploration trips.
Accommodation for one person will cost 5,800 Swiss francs (Bt199,000) per month and will cover daily necessities including food, non-alcoholic drinks and personal care. He said this was far cheaper than in Switzerland, where patients were charged based on their condition.
For instance, a patient in a bad condition may end up having to pay 13,000 francs per month, while a medium-level patient could end up paying about 12,700 francs per month.
He explained that there was a rising demand for housing, as the population in many European countries was ageing.
In Switzerland, the retirement age for men is 65 and 64 for women. During their working years, they contribute 25 per cent of their income to social-security and pension schemes, and earn about Bt200,000 on average after retirement.
Plus, the country's statistics show that the number of Alzheimer's patients is on the rise, and will increase from 125,000 in 2010, to 160,000 in 2020, 218,000 in 2030 and 263,000 in 2040. When compared to the total population of 8 million, this group makes up 1.9 per cent of the total in 2020, 2.5 per cent in 2030, and 2.95 per cent in 2040.
Also, the number of people aged over 65 is projected to about 1.68 million in 2020, 2.11 million in 2030, and 2.39 million in 2040. For those aged over 80, its number will increase to 561,000 in 2020, 735,000 in 2030, and 1.09 million in 2040. And those aged over 90 will grow to 104,000 in 2020, 150,000 in 2030, and 231,000 in 2040, thanks to medical advancement.
In 2010, the number of people aged over 65, 80, and 90 was about 1.53 million, 444,000, and 66,000 respectively.
However, Rutz acknowledged that though the opportunity was big, it would still be difficult to persuade them to stay at Vivo Bene, adding that many he ad expressed concerns about the medical care available. Also, Alzheimer's patients find it difficult to make changes.
Hence, he said, the company has decided to stand up to the challenge and is planning to bring all parties involved to tour the site.Mods feel free to movie. -
