    do some research, i have just contacted a company in thailand, i sent them my details and they sent a spreadsheet back with all the companies/prices for my age shown, bupa,axa, lmg etc,

    i have read this thread and others where you are asking for help, and i thought that you are in a situation, (that could if the circumstances were really stacked against us), that a lot of people could find themselves in. and i was genuinely sad at the story.

    But there you were dying or in a very bad state of health, in a foreign country with no friends/family,and offered a flight back home. and what are your first thoughts about the generosity of your homeland, - thank you for that chance to get home and seek medical help, no! they were - how can i pack up and leave in three days, what about all my things.

    well sod all your things get to the airport and live, all your possessions are no good to you dead. three days is plenty of time to get to the airport its a once only offer.

    sorry to be down with you but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. I obtained a car licence with a straight 'swop' for an idp,i had to take the colour test etc, at the same time i applied for a motorcycle licence, but had to take a written test, and a driving test, which consists of driving around a circuit, negotiating some cones/car tyres, and then driving along a thin slightly raised section of concrete without coming off the raised section, test taken at pattaya

  5. I know a guy who knows a guy who accidently washed his jeans with his passport in the pocket and all the ink ran and it was ruined. Silly fella.

    Yes washing passports seems to be a common problem in Thailand, based on the number of posts that come up on this exact subject on TV....they really must tell their maids to empty the pockets on their clothes before washing them....:whistling:

    I was wondering why so many people store their passports in their pockets!

  6. Hull seem to have changed it policy, i would suggest copy of girlfriends id, with a letter from her, then phone calls to hull. Bristol and Birmingham as lite beer suggested, if no joy fall back to plan B. a two or three entry tourist visa, which could give you six months here or longer with local immigration extensions.

    Keep us updated, as the rules at hull have only just changed.

  8. I hate to sound unsympathetic to the victim's family, but I always had the impression that if a person decides to deem oneself a freelance photographer and enter into the midst of a war zone (and that's what Bangkok virtually was at times during the red shirt protests) aren't they accepting the danger associated with that type of profession?

    I might get slammed and called a callus jerk for asking that, but I really always had the impression that a person was basically forfeiting their civil rights when choosing not heed warnings by entering into what is obviously a seriously dangerous situation.

    I agree with this post, yes a loss of life is sad for the family, but it was his choice and the family will have to accept it. all the enquiries in the world will not bring him back, look mat all the reporters killed in wars throughout the world, yes i know it wasn't a war, but if that amount of trouble has been going on for a number of days, the only way to run is away.
