Dépends why you want to go there really? Why is that particular area good for you ? If it suits your goal of visiting Bangkok, then go on booking.com , if you know that area it should be dead easy to find something. Otherwise Bangrak , sky train, Thaksin Pier , think there’s a few cheap places there. Plenty of coffee shops etc

It’s all in the small print !!

What’s wrong with renewing her Thaîpassport. Easy.

Just in case, I would renew her Thai passport and use that for both trips in and out. Safer option. Also when in Uk apply for a fast track‘passport. I had mine on a visit to UK with rdv, same day if there’s an office near you.,

I wonder why ? Often used this service due to the pick up and drop off option. Was quite a successful company and much nicer than the Thappraya Jomtien bus . Taxis aren’t expensive, but I always feel safer in a bus. Otherwise I use Joe Taxi and ask for a lady driver, much better.

Check the well known companies. Some have better coverage when you ask the right question , at a premium. What passport do you have ? Don’t lie, if found out it will cancel your policy completely. See Sheryl’s post above.

I will also say that some embassies are more difficult than others. KL is more difficult.

Well depends doesn’t it., If you are wanting to « game the system » as you say , and stay a long time then you should get the necessary visa, which isn’t a 60 day Tourist visa. If on the other hand you want to stay a few months ( as thousands of snowbirds do ) there is no problem getting a border hop or two with Thai authorities .As long as your history is good and you look ok that is. It’s not illegal !!

Simon, there are bisexuals you know !!! And threesomes , sorry don’t know the name ?

Personally, I’d give massage a miss now.

Well when I was a kid there was a lot of Polio , a friend and her mum had it. And in those days travel was dangerous , small,pox etc

The above article says “ cant be transmitted through sexual intercourse “ . Of course it can, and also by any close contact man , woman, child.

I’m quite sure they have to interview her first, see her passport etc and then give her a visa to go there to train. You can’t just fly to Dubai . Visa/ ticket/ documents.

The OP is worried about 60 € ? Doesn’t fare well for Thai tourism .

Haven’t had a Thai bank since 1990. Don’t you get monthly statements?? And if yes, I know some people don’t check theirs, but I do.

I wish they in power would give as much thought to helping their own people to put food on the table and pay their rent.

They are generally marvelous at the airports to help all sorts of health problems, broken legs, advanced age etc. Just find an ambulance or similar to get you right to check in. Same on way back. Your local doctor might have addresses. And yes, you must mention it to your airline so that they are prepared, front seat in plane near door.

True.. Even tho I rent good condos with security, I always have a safe in a bank where I put my cash and valuables. Costs me a fortune on holidays as I always go to reputable hotels with reception safes. Never trust a hotel room safe or the ones they sell. People I know woke up one morning and handbags , car keys, jewelry all gone. Another was having friends over, eating outside on the pool. In they came, over a wall, alarm off as people were there. They took everything they could find and all the ladies handbags which were inside on a bed !!!!

This probably means that it is being circulated by sex workers.

Good lord , the rubbish that Bobbie writes. You can always try. If not , just enter Visa Exempt , please don’t say VOA that’s only for certain countries and you only get 15 days !!! Or try Penang who are very nice there. Border hops to Cambodia or Laos don’t have to be expensive , there are many agencies. Visa exempt gives you 30days which you can extend in an immigration office in Thailand for another 30 days. =60. Then do a border hop and do the same thing. 120 days. = 4 months.

For 60 days in Thailand ( plus the possibility of an extension 30 days easily done ) isn’t it better to apply for a 60 day tourist visa ? That’s online and maybe easier.

I don’t remember the name of the road , but there is a very good agency there that help with visas. I know many in the queue outside waiting were commenting on them. Maybe google the agencies and see the reviews etc.

What’s wrong with a note ? How on earth did we survive without phones ? For all these Thai teachers , what are they doing, these kids ate still not educated to a good standard when leaving school !! A teacher doing something like this in the west would be sacked.

Bkk Brian, which brings up the question, why now ? Homosexuality has existed openly for years. Has something mutated ? Also Europe has high figures of this pox. Why again. Lots of questions for the scientists.

Hi, a very good friend is in danger of a complete breakdown. Her husband, also my good friend, is suffering from very complicated cancer, and has turned from a super healthy handsome man ( 68 yrs) to a shadow of himself, practically overnight. They had just sold their very successful business and had planned a wonderful retirement traveling the world. They have a beautiful house and garden. Except…. Hes in and out of hospital, has marvelous care and specialists so nothing to improve on there. ill call her Susan, is keeping a brave front when with him, and when she’s not she goes to pieces, shaking uncontrollably, she eats hardly anything, she can’t hold it down. I think, and have been , trying to get her to see a specialist. She has doctor friends. But she won’t. My questions, what sort of doctor should she see, and how can I convince her to try. I’m really afraid she won’t last long like this with a total breakdown. They have no children , but very good friends and family. Thank you, I’m at my wits end seeing them both like this.
