It doesn't get trapped and hang around like it does up here. And there's nowhere near as much burning either.

Guess your memories on isaan are outdated and romantic the smoke hoovers for 3 month all over north Asia from India to Vietnam - surly not excluding isaan with its hazardous pollution levels. -
Splendid take it with sarcasm:

Sign the least you can do!
Small steps are needed - no immediate solution in sight.

2017 edition of this post soon to come.

Fairfly - is/was a page which would offer you improved prices even after you bought your ticket already- they would issue a new ticket and take a small fee on what you saved. Guess the biz concept was to troublesome for private customers but makes sense for cooperates. Just couldn't find anything like it and thought one. Of you might use a similar tool.
-
Since fairfly.com excluded them self to only cooperate customers is there a similar Plattform for private travelers you know of?

This topic is coming to an end everything is clear and said - it's easy to get- and so interesting as any other visa- bye

No. Thai (5 year) licence and German licence are both worldwide. Where did you pick up your information?
This i really doubt as the Thai driving license is strictly limited to ASEAN countries. Same a a German license is limited to Europe.
Yes, possible.So with my Thai driving license in hand is it possible to apply for a Thai issued international license. Mainly because I got a motorbike license here but not in Europe but would like to drive there as well. Any thoughts, experience on that and if what is required and where can this be done?
But also with your Thai motorbike licence you can ride a bike in Europe.
Any given Police Control in Asia will ask you for an international DL if it were true what u say than the international would have no meaning.

Never before a PM left such a mess behind
-
Great info but as long as I can't do it easy with my bike I guess it's not on the top list

Nokair is for sure not the cheapest airline serving the route better try lion or airasia
-
One way
-
Just go to mochit bus terminal a view days in advance every bus company serving your route has a booth there with pics of the buses they are more or less all the same and a ticket should be shy of 800 bht going early secures a seat reservation of your choice but there are chances you can get a bus same day if you need- very popular are the over night connections as they arrive in the early morning in cm. this said the only reason why I choose the pain over a flight if I got lots of luggage with me. Always wanted to try the train but they are at least in the past horrible unreliable with a couple of them running of the tracks every year.

There is a great report on GTR I read before about two guys who bought scooters and rode the coast road without a guide, I forgot the details but it's a great tale. If you want to do the trip, there is a way but it taking your bike in probably isn't an option.
I drove 30.000 km the past 2 years all over Laos , Thailand , Vietnam all with Honda dream so I guess it's not the bike which is the issue

Any update on the possibility and requirements to cross Burma border with Thai registered motorbike ?
-
It wouldn't be a bad idea to write your local government describing your experience and concerns reminding them that the problems is not washed away by rain and action have to be prepared now to not let this disaster happen again and again otherwise they will think they just can sit it out year after year.

Any updates on UK passport holders getting a MTEV in the UK?
I am planning to apply for one next month.
Documents I already have are:
Statments from a UK savings account where the balance is currently £17,000 and had never been under £10,000 in the last 6 months.
A 'HMRC SA100 Self Assessment Tax Form' for last UK tax year showing my income which is from UK baised investments which will show a net income of just under £20,000 pre my UK tax liablity. This will be stamped by my UK accountant.
A confirmed flight to Thailand (actually the second part of a return ticket bought in Thailand).
A letter from the Juristic person at the condo I own confirming I own it and a copy of the charnote showing my name, confirming my accomadation in Thailand.
Any thoughts on if this will be enough or if I should book a cheap exit somewhere at the end of the first 90 days stay?
Also any idea what is the best/most lenient Embassy or consulate to apply, the London embassy would be most convenient but I will be visiting family in Yorkshire while on my UK trip and could visit Hull or Liverpool should they be more laid back.
Many thanks in advance for any constructive advice.
Out of my experience you need a return ticket as well as one additional ticket showing you exit after 60/90 days. I would prefer a Honorary consulate as they are more interested in money than in documents.

Just returned with the new METV from consulate in Hamburg 20 min in- no special documents except the bank balance with 5k needed, by no special I mean no employment letter or such just the normal in/out ticket /hotel for some days/150€/ that's it easy as it can be. Received the visa on spot.
Is your passport German?
Yes
-
Anybody had already experience in extending the 60 days stay on the METV? This would make the whole thing quite comfortable

My experience in Germany might give some relief- account statement showing 5000. € yes but only need the current not the past 6 month and no employment whatsoever letter needed. Need in and out as well as one additional out flight or travel confirmation and one hotel booking for some days but no time specified.
