  1. Hi Folks, is possible to get a visa on arrival (voa) at the border in Mae Sai? or I need obtain a visa previously with the Myanmar Embassy? How much does it cost? I'm on a Non-Immigrant Category O Multi Entry Visa and need to extend my stay for another 90 days. My last extension was at the immigration office inside Thailand and they told me next time to go to the border get my new extension, since they will refuse if I try to do the extension inside country again, also they gave me only 60 days in my last extension and a fee of 1900 THB was paid. Sorry many question, but I have never been there before. Thanks.

  2. i am building a 88 sm house 2 bdrm 1 story for 500000baht. i am building it myself. if i pay a contractor to do what i already can do....it will cost 2.5m screw that

    if you got the time and know how....build it yourself ...save your money and buy a good truck or take many nice vacations

    How much is the undertable money to avoid the fine/jail time, for working without a workpermit

    You do not need a work permit to do things by yourself. He is not selling any product or service. such stupidity!

  3. I know my answer is not totally related to the IP issue being revealed, but is a good pratice to have the measure bellow fully working, otherwise change your IP from the internet is not enough, since you can be reached by your DNS leak.!

    Be careful with DNS leak, you can always change your DNS by a public one, do not use your ISP DNS otherwise your location can be revealed easily. For a more safe approach you change the DNS in your machine and also in the router (the place where you should configure the ISP DNS).

    For example: if you are using modem ADSL cable, then you need to access it and chage the DNS option there, unless you are using a modem+router (one device). The most important configuration to edit is located under LAN -> DHCP Server Config. look for Primary DNS server and Secondary DNS server then edit this information with your own DNS server or a public one like OpenDNS or Google Open DNS as you wish.

    After that put the interface down and put it up again, then check your dns leak here -> ipleak dot net or dnsleaktest dot com or any other of your preference.

    Then if you want to use TOR go for it... but I do not recommend, is preferable to use chained vpn than tor. (but this you need to figure out by yourself)

    Good Luck!

  4. Drag yourself to the next immigration office, I did it last week, I was very ill and I paid 1500 for overstay (500 /day). If you wait time to get better, you will pay more, if you can do, then do it otherwise send someone else on your behalf.

  5. We have been coming to Thailand for 40 years; gave up on Pattaya and Hua Hin (too big now) - but currently live in Phuket and love it. Tho' it sure has changed a lot. Near Laguna is fun - and Bang Tao beach is very nice.

    Rawaii is OK but a bit far.

    We hear many good things of Koh Samui too. Maybe best to come in Jan/Feb after the Xmas/NY rush has gone.

    You are joking right ? 40 years and find Phuket nice ? I needed 3 weeks to know what shiiteplace it really is. And I checked every single beach or spot, so don't tell me that you know a secret Phuket...

    I agree Phuket is a shithole except by 2 beaches (Ao Nui and Nai Harn), really cool places that I like, but the phuket town, patong (it is a copy of pataya) and the rest is bad.. traffic in the island sucks.. no way I can live there for more than a week.. haha

  6. I recommend Koh Mak (East Border, cool place), Koh Similan (for camping and diving, 100% contact with nature), Koh PP (best landscape, but to busy nowadays), Phuket (Ao Nui and Nai Harn are nice to swiming and snorkel), Ko Kai (small island around tatutao park, also tarutao is nice and quiet to stay few days).. if you like diving then your best bet is koh Surin.. so many places in thailand.. I personally like some island around chumphom, but the last time I went there the water was blurred, without saying the amount of plastic (cups, bags, bottles, all types of plastic) in corals .. good trip!

  7. If I'm the buyer, I will never pay more than 50K per rai without proper documentation(chanote). In central Thailand the prices float between 30K and 60K per rai without chanote. Try to use the land to plant some cash crop, you have water it is a plus (use ram pump for irrigation if no eletricity in the place). Nice property!

  8. ..at that age, read a story to your child but if you are a hightech freak then teach him some programming language, "Basic" is a good start. so many tablets in the market (all price range), just pick up one you like. Android is good and cheap.

  9. The real question they are avoiding is "did the Thai government know about this detention center and more to the point did they cooperate with the US". I'm sure that is what people want to know. The answer to these questions is NOT an internal US matter. Until they answer these questions I'm sure this will continue to be a controversial subject.

    What the new PM will never seem to understand is that there will always be tough questions to answer to the public and he cannot just duck the questions for the sake of a "peaceful country". He's living in a dream world if he thinks the public will accept these kinds of answers.

    "The public"...Foreigners are a tiny minority in Thailand and as far as Thai people is concerned I suspect 99% of them don't give a sh#t about this issue. To the majority of the locals the past is irrelevant, the future is uncertain, and the only time frame that is worth thinking about is today and tonight:).

    you are in a buddhist country. What are you expecting?

  10. what a great thread, so much stuff here to check out. thanks for everyone's input.
