if you have an onward flight ticket from don the shuttle bus is free and easy. takes about one hour from exit #3 at suv.

blaming others for your situation maybe? 

no, not at all. zero blame, i could not care less about what others think about me.

my 'situation' is perfectly cool, unlike the one endured by less fortunate people at the mercy of their government.

you just have to ask yourself if 'YOUR' government is looking after you..., in reciprocal response to you having looked after them by paying your taxes. just talk to an australian pensioner about his 'income' and how s/he makes a living out of that one.

before you question me about blaming others...

A little MDMA is in order to ease the ride into the sunset?

yes, anything to make you feel less exploited and bullshitted on by your own government.

a little 'chemical' resistance?

given the amount of crap that goes on on this planet, the governmental deceptions, the lies we are being fed - by both these and those - the way we are being manipulated, abused, exploited, used...

why would any one of us even think that a drug - less life is desirable?

we are all nothing but pawns in someone's chess game, with NO control over our own destiny.

indulging in drug use makes being brain - raped by the ones who are supposed to support you just that little bit easier to wear...

 Plus speed is creating thousands of rapists, no matter how old the victims are.

you are starting to sound like my parents, lii.

i never raped anyone while on 'speed'! or anyone at all, anyway.

lsd micros where a part of our life, boys and girls, i had my first at age 15.

remember where we lived, you and i???

and if you have not tried them....... don't talk about them, either.

is this post about ice? compared to speed ice is a garbage bin for loosers.

my opinion...

that's why lazy and self - indulgent people are fat.

I knew a guy that had an RAC motor racing license, he was colour blind...He just memorised the colours he saw and attached the correct colour name....

that seems like not very realistic - to me.

if you can't tell a wolf from a german sheppard - what is there to remember?

and when it comes to the 'PseudoIsochromatic Plate (PIP) Color Vision Test', memory will not even be remotely helpful.

try it, it works both ways...

some 5 - 10% of males on this planet have a red - green perception deficiency.

in some countries this excludes you from commercial driving licenses and nautical patents.

however, in most cases the real problem is differentiating between red and yellow/amber, which makes little sense in vehicular traffic situations as both mean 'stop'!

for all practical purposes traffic lights really only need two colours.

i failed a series of colour vision tests in my life - always makes you feel second rate, somehow.

the worst are the ones with the dots... you know.

i was massively apprehensive when i went for my thai license a few months ago but i had the benefit of observing many others doing the test before me. and a lot of them had NO idea about colours.

i knew the tester did not speak english so my first reply to the, what turned out to be yellow but was by me, having no comparison, seen as red, was something like: 'yheap'. that worked but i could see it annoyed him. so, when the peripheral test came up, and it took me by surprise as i had never done one of them before, wearing glasses i just had to turn my head a little. and anything that wasn't green was daenglueang (one word, no spaces, and slurred...)

it got me through, no bribes, but i don't know how i go next time when my 2 - year runs out.

given that thailand has got one of the highest road death tolls on this planet, it appears that their licence testing regime fails to achieve the desired results. perhaps someone should have a look at this...

i don't really know how to take this in, it just seems like some Edgar Allan Poe horror story. man, that must have been soooo bad for you - and your girl.

i wish you the very best and no repeats.

be good

another great 'kitsch' production of 'Frank Farian' , the creator of 'Boney M' and 'Milli Vanilli'.

but it goes down well....

during my first trips to thailand i relied on pre - arranged transfers from airport to hotel and v/v. i was apprehensive about this, just based on my pre - conceived assumptions about thailand. NO ONE !!!, not one, was ever late. on the contrary, when i fronted up in the hotel lobby 15 mins. early - as i do (german upbringing ) - my transport was always already waiting for me. same for arriving at the airports. never been met with as much punctuality anywhere else on this planet! no even in germany!

if you want to be treated to real 'lateness', try australia.

I agree that it makes no sense that applicants for a SETV in Germany should require an onward flight, but when applying in Australia they don't, but that is how it is. Different Embassies and different rules.

yes, you are right, i should know better by now.

How many German people would apply for a Thai visa in Australia? 

 

Seems a long way to go for a visa !

due to the fact that dual citizenship is not a permitted option for german migrants to australia, i'd imagine a good few thousand holding german passports would apply for thailand visas in oz each year. my first wife was holding on to her german citizenship for more then 30 years before she got naturalized.

When it comes bureaucracy ( in any country ) logic does not apply.

The Thai Embassies around the world don't all offer the same visas, and they can apply their own requirements for issuing a visa.

see my post #17, please.

this makes no sense at all. shopping around comes to mind...

Just now, Fithman said:

 

I can obtain, at no cost, an Australian one year multiple entry visa. I do not need a visa to visit Germany and I am not Germany. 

 

Can Thai people do the same?   Many people in many countries face difficulty with obtaining visas.

that is not the issue.

from the documentation provided germans applying for a thai tourist visa in australia face different rules to germans applying in germany.

Different Embassies having different requirements is not something unique to Thailand.  

i do not think that applies for australlan and german embassies and their respective visa requirements.

but i am happy to learn otherwise.

and these are the requirements for german passport holders applying in sydney:

yes, i can see the travel document requirements mentioned on the link you provided. so, then, why is this not a requirement for australians? and i did apply for a setv in sudney last year and i did not have to provide ticket copies...

copied from the thai consulate, sydney, website, requirements for australians:

SINGLE ENTRY

Documents required

• A passport or travel document with validity not less than 6 months
• A completed and signed visa application

• A photo (3.5x4.5 cm.) taken within last 6 months without wearing glasses or headgear (photocopy not accepted)
• A copy of passport or travel document personal detail page
• A proof of residential address in Australia and it's photocopy such as Driving Licence, Recent Utility Bills (Electricity,Gas,Phone,Water,Net)OR A PHOTOCOPY
• A photocopy of Electrocnic-Australian Visa if you are not an AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN

Visa application processing fee
The visa application processing fee is AUD$ 45.

without wanting to distract from the original post, but it appears to be totally illogical that a passport holder of a g7 country like germany has to provide proof of onward travel for a setv while an australian does not.

i am used to different rules for everything within thailand but this is extraordinary:
