Bit off topic...if you are located Bangkok consider run to Saigon.

Especially if your pp provides visa exempt entry to Vietnam.

Bit biased as I love the joint for a weekend+

Moving back to Pattaya as my wife just died last week. Too many memories of looking after her here in Bangkok.

It's disappointing that you were put through the ringer. 

Even more so with a valid multi non O.

 

Thanks, I am still getting over it. Missed out on my spaghetti and chicken, at the border cafe. Plus I kept everybody on the bus waiting.

So you exited Thailand and reentered with a 90 day stamp. 

Eventually, after the second try.

Today I did a border bounce at Ban Ron. I have a multiple entry non O visa which is valid until August. Immigration refused me exit and said because I have used this visa twice at land borders, I must fly out. Of course, I tried to explain this was a multiple entry visa that I had and never had problems using it more than twice at a land crossing before, But she was having none of that. I then tried to use an official who was walking about and tried with him. He took my passport, but soon returned and said no, I had to leave by plane.

I then walked away, thoroughly annoyed, but returned fifteen minutes later and joined the queue for another window and immigration officer. This time success and no problems. Likewise leaving had no problems and received my ninety days.

I guess another case of TIT. This lady who rejected me was no spring chicken, so she surely should have known the rules.

Just to mention. The last couple of times at Ban Ron it was not too busy. Today was choc a bloc at the Thai exit and entry desks, but the Cambodian entry and exit desks were quiet.

Those Dutch get everywhere.

Usually these tuk tuks have an enormous rear view mirror. If this is the case, pretty hard not to notice her missing.

Thailand is labeled a "hub" in these illicit activities

Must be the first time Thailand has not claimed to be a hub.

She smells blood.

Ms. A said "this incident was a brazen act of violence that showed no regard for the law. It also damaged the image of Pattaya as a world-class tourist destination."

Do any Thais actually believe this?

Been there, done that. Although nothing to do with filming up-skirts.

The woman shared that she had been haunted by dreams of her missing husband, where he would visit their son and then run away towards a body of water and trees, only to disappear. These visions occurred just before the human skull was located, lending a chilling premonition to the case, reported KhaoSod.

And the lottery number is....

As is the usual case, it is amazing how idiots like this can amass any wealth in the first place, never mind the tidy sum always involved.

Normally they post the speeding ticket to the name of the car owner and the registered address. This has a picture of the front of the car which includes the number plate and picture of the driver (faint through the windscreen). Details of location, speed and date.

Hope L LIVES to fight another day.
