I am in the same position and wondering if you were able to get PR for your wife? Any info you could provide would be appreciated

For your info...you dealt with an AGENCY not the Canadian Embassy

They can read the signs and hear the warnings but being of the "me" generation these are ignored in doing what they want regardless. As a member of a much older generation I must accept some responsibility for this. We gave them freedoms that we never had but not the sense of responsibility to use these freedoms with regard to others.

True...

dated an archeologist from lopburi. we visited, did the monkeys, the temples, her old school, it took a couple of hours, then we left. i dont think i missed anyth

Lopburi is an odd town as there isn't too much there even for the casual tourist. Only real history nuts seem to stay there for a night (or more) I put in a lot of time there over the years as I liked to go there when I wanted to escape 'farangdom' though I've not been in a couple of years so my info could be out of date.

There are very few expats in Lopburi and what little nightlife there is, is much very Thai Style.

There is/was a decent bar at Noom GH off Rachdamnoen rd. (first or second alley on the left walking away from Na Sanprakhran (station) rd).

The gaffer there is a friendly 'Old school' Thai Peua Cheewit former beach bum type, speaks excellent English and has/had built up a decent bar there though the clientèle is mainly backpackers on the North/South trip.

Not far from Noom GH behind Wat Mahathat is a long standing Thai nightclub Jan Jao which has live music from a long established band who on seeing a Westerner in the crowd will churn out some decent quality 'rock standard covers' (Led Zep/Floyd/Eagles/Purple etc) as well as get the place jumping (Thurs to Sun when it's busiest) with their Peua Cheewit tunes and covers. As a bonus they also have friendly 'Promo' girls there and some English is spoken if needed.

There are a few Thai nightclubs scattered around Town but getting around late at night can be a bit of a pain. One time I was there I was taken to a small cluster of places just over the river by a group of Thai lads. Most were OK but one or two were of a more 'nefarious' type of entertainment......

Enjoy, if for nothing else, the fact that very few Westerners have a night out in Lopburi.

I live here with my wife...we don't club it but the information you provided is still relevant. As soon as I can pry my wife away from her family......we're out of here

Did you ever think that loud motorcycles suck? We have a group here that puts stickers up all over the place saying just that! Everyone around you doesn't want to hear your noise pollution.... I'm glad to hear the RTP are finally issuing some fines. Too bad they aren't around my town!

Wish RTP were doing the same in my town as well.....Noise Polluters

I'm sure if they ever do get it together and carry out this ride to rule, the motorists will soon get fed up of not being able to use the left lane because of it being full of motorbikes. Then there is the added inconvenience of waiting for the insurance guy to turn up to deal with all the motorcyclists knocked off by drivers who are virtually incapable of seeing anything beyond their phones Facebook screen . We know motorists are only pissed off because it takes them so long to get anywhere. If they tried driving in one lane instead of using all three or four in the space of 100 yards traffic flow would probably be a lot better

Motorists straddling two lanes.....I honk my horn to get past and the Thai wife is mad at me........she's afraid the driver might have a gun ???? I live in BIZZARO world

A sick world that we live in - one of these days, where I am ashamed to be a human...

Animals.....should be rounded up and shot

Yes Hillary got a little emotional when a Greenpeace representative asked her about donations from the Fossil Fuel industry to her campaign. She seemed to lose it a little and said she was sick of the lies from the Sanders campaign. Had really nothing to do with Bernie. It was all done by Greenpeace investigations.

Turns out she has received about $1.3M in direct donations from the Fossil Fuel Industry and a further $3.1M from Fossil Fuel Industry via her Superpac.

Bernie does not accept any money from the Fossil Fuel Industry. He is currently sorting out donations made by private citizens that work in the Fossil Fuel industry with a view to return those donations. Around $50K

Vote for Bernie.......

HANG 'EM HIGH.............

I dont give a rats ar.e about Cambodian rats or Thai rats.

I would never eat rat, or even allow my wife to eat the vermin.

How do you know what's being prepared at an eatery...

Pissed driving ..... should loose his licence for 2 years & 50,000 baht fine ..... what if he hit & killed someone ....

Absolutely correct....hope this is what happens

Most Thai people cannot swim. Is this because swimming is only available to the rich? Not as far as I can see, there are many places to take your child swimming and for less that a hundred baht. Lots of schools have swimming classes. I don't understand why the majority can't swim. Is it the 'I don't want a suntan and have dark skin' that puts people off learning to swim?

Someone started this white skin craze, for monetary purposes, in a country that bakes people on a daily basis. Young girls like their mothers hide from the sun and swimming is not on their list of things to do.

St Teresa and I will pray for all of you...........

canada must be thrilled to have him back

No ...keep the bas...rd.......wong??? (canadian immigrant) we need to be more careful about allowing such scum in

Two Great Leaders and a warming of relations will last at least until the next yankee presidential election setback

Despite the negative comments it is good to see the two nations bonding and sharing a common path.

Unfortunately these two Great leaders will not be serving their terms at the same time.......Canada and USA missed out on a multitude of positive changes......now Mr. Trudeau will have to deal with WHAT????? Whatever it turns out to be it won't be good...

This old chestnut again?

So they had 20 million baht of unpaid bills over an 8 year period, versus how many trillion baht of revenue from tourism?

Suck it up Thailand. Do the right thing, go after the deadbeats, but do not try imposing more restrictions on the rest of us.

Correct !!!!!

Canadians themselves are some of the nicest people anywhere. They have a culture of being polite and hospitable. Most of them live right near the US border partly because it's too danged cold up North and partly because, well, the US is there. Countless numbers of them pour over the US border every day to work. The same with shopping.

I have never heard a fellow American say one bad thing about Canadians. Not once. However, if they want to get involved in our politics, WE'LL BUILD A WALL!!.

LOL.

We want the wall in order to keep you and yours that will be trying to cross into Canada after trumpet gets elected....... NO ENTRY !!

There seems to be more and more unstable people walking and

driving around with guns,you have to be careful what you say and

how you drive,it does not take much to set them off,it seems.

regards Worgeordie

Most certainly.......my girlfriend warns me all the time when I'm driving

Might as well put yellow stars on all Jews, then.

so you and 15 other people AGREE with sex offences and defend sex offenders......I guess you are all from the US also?....AMAZING

Both men have denied involvement in Litvinenko’s death, as has the Kremlin...Oh well there you go ....must be the truth...no penalties.....have a nice day

Justifiable requests.........hope UK steps up to the plate and does the right thing.......screw "clouded relations"

Typical of Canada,Hide their head in the sand and the threat may go away." Hey it ain't our fight as we have had no bombs in Canada yet" "Yall take care of that problem,not us".

Why do you call yourself happy jim? Anyways jim if "y'all" yanks left your bombs at home and store them along with all your household guns there wouldn't be a "problem to take care of"...thanks jim

Canada has made a call following a democratic change of government. They may be sick of mopping up after Mission Unaccomplished.

Well said Cats4ever, Yes we are sick of continually mopping up after all of yankees mistakes ......we'll go our way and they can go theirs.....they don't deserve to have us as a friendly neighbor
