  1. Good question. I was thinking the same thing.

    One way is to not have the sponsor doc say "potential employment" but rather "looking for/researching investment oppurtunities" I guess in corporation with the sponsor company.

    Some consulates seems to be very relaxed about issuing the 12 mth non-em b visas just based on a foreign (little) company letterhead saying that this person will look for business oppurtunities (or export products Etc.) in Thailand.

    Cheers!

  2. They initially wanted to give me a single entry only. I pushed a bit and got the multiple. Don't know the price yet as had some office staff arrange but will know in a week. Do they really do non-em b with double entry? I thought it was simply single or multiple (unlike tourist visa).

    Further; in another thread a Brit managed to get a 12 mth (NOT just 3 month) multiple non-em b in Penang simply based on his own (little) company letterhead signed by himself! And in houston a similar letter is ALSO enough for a 12 month non-em b - while here in Hanoi they wanted sponsor company info on directors/tax payments and all that .

    Cheers!

  3. Hi Natalie!

    I see lots of aircleaners with build in ionizers (see the Sharp brand) in all the malls. Also saw a cool fan with build in ionizer in Homepro and elsewhere. Ionizers ALONE (not build in) I have not seen very often. Cheers!

  4. I did quite a lot of research on health insurance and decided on www.goodhealthworldwide.com as they cover all dangerous sports and one can choose a high deductable to keep the premium down.

    Problem with "going local" is that almost none of them will have the cover that would be needed if one has serious accident/illness in home country/travelling in Western world.Evacuation/Brain surgery/heart transplant Etc. can easily run up in US$100k-200k in the western world - or even if evacuated from BKK to Singapore.

    Why do we insure? In my case to avoid that an illness/accident bankrupts me (should I survive :o ), NOT to get aspirin and GP visits covered.

    I.e. www.goodhealthworldwide.com have the major medical at about $600/ year for 1 person (depending on age) and with deductable of $1000 which covers up to 1.5M USD.

    Cheers!

  5. I saw a (big) Bull Shark about 10 meters away in the Similans - those are not pretty and the fact that they can live in fresh water and swims up rivers to attack cattle (and humans) Etc. says something about this shark.

    It is in the top 3 (if not number 1 depending on who made the stats) of human attacks in the world.

    Cheers!
