Andrew Drummond? I have never seen anything he has written condemning Thailand in any way. Most everything that I have read of his is about exposing crooked and corrupt farangs in Thailand.

Yes, Thais definately need a visa to enter Mexico. My Thai wife and I attended my brother's wedding in Puerto Vallerta in 2003 and she got a visa at the Mexican Embassy in Bangkok. No great hassle but I can't remember the details of what she had to do to get it.

I have friends coming from America. I would like to know if they can bring frozen meat products through customs at the airport.

Crook? I don't know about Paul McCartney but Clinton sure as hel_l is a crook!

Thailand to target deposed PM's assets

Forbes magazine in July said Thaksin is Thailand's fourth richest businessman with a fortune worth R2,2-billion.

Who are the three? The ones richer than him? Would be interesting to know.

....and what is R2,2-billion? Is that Rand, Ruppees, Baht even, or Dollars or Pounds? I'm a multi milllionaire in Vietnam and Italy, really!!!

You will find details about the other three, all wealthier than Thaksin, at the following site:

They are, according to Forbes ranking:

214. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, Thailand, 61, $3.2, alcohol

292. Chaleo Yoovidhya, Thailand, 74, $2.5, Red Bull

317. Dhanin Chearavanont and family, Thailand, 66, $2.4, agriculture

Thaksin was clearly a wealthy man before taking office and was taken to court over the stated value of his assets some months after taking office. He was cleared by the courts.

Why do we assume that, because he's rich, that he's a crook? Paul McCartney's a billionaire, is he also corrupted? Bill Clinton was on the verge of bankruptcy but is now a multi-millionaire.

So many critics, I wonder where all of you get your facts.

What is it with muslims and bombs? Do they have an explosive fetish? Or how about muslims and airplanes? Why do they hate airplanes? Are they too noisy? Or why do they hate cars so much? Always blowing them up!

Common sense would say that it shoudl be allowed and you don't need a visa?

This is Thailand. Common sense doesn't apply here

The Thai language makes no provision for the concept of "common sense". It does not translate. There are no Thai words that mean "common sense".

You need the multi entry type with your travel and the only place that has a high probability of issue would be Penang.  I would highly advise going there rather than Singapore (or as a side trip if you have other plans in Singapore).  You do have valid reasons for the multi type so it might be that Singapore would issue to you but in general Penang is much more likely to provide.  Be sure to have copy of wife ID card if she not with you; as well as copy of marriage certificate.

I have attained a one year multi-entry non-immigrant type "O" visa in Singapore more than once with no problems at all. All you need is a copy of your marriage certificate, your wife's ID card and the normal required extras such as photos. They do not like to issue long term Type"B" visas in the Singapore embassy but Type"O" are no problem.
