  1. Do you mean a tourist visa can be got in Kanchanaburi? How much does the mini bus cost and how much does it cost to get to the border from the town?

    No you can only activate a tourist visa you already have.My friend has 3 x 60 day visas..The cost of the mini bus is 240 baht to the town i do not know how much from town to the border.

  2. Any update on this? I have a friend that is intending going there to do a border run next week............is it open???

    Yes it is open..My friend has just done it, he paid a taxi driver 3000 baht left at 5am back 1.30pm..If you get the mini bus you will have to get transport from the town to the border

  3. Perhaps all you clever dicks should take a look at this before you prattle out some more inane comments?

    Do you actually believe the stats that North Vietnam pushed out?

    Bigger fool you if you do, I would trust the stats of a communist country at war about as far as I could throw a Mig 21!

    The link you posted isn't even verified.

    American fighters had a far superior kill ratio to the Vietnamese, 19:3 for the F8 fighter the F4 shot down 66 Mig 21's, confirmed kills and finished the war with an 11:1 kill ratio (although it started with a much lower ratio until a machine gun was fitted for dog fighting)..

    Considering that Mig 21's didn't often mix it up with US fighters but would fly in at top speed, attack bombers and keep going I don't see how the figures can be close to correct.

    The North Vietnamese didn't have that many Mig 21's and used them sparingly because of the kill ratio.
