There are some fairly good bus service to and from Pattaya, best bet is to just check here and around with friend either way by all mean keep a very close EYE on your belongs when you use these tour services, enough said(just a hint to the wise)

This law will be very difficult if not impossible to effectively enforce, very much like the not talk on your cell phone while driving. No doubt they will hit the farang hard at first, then the tourism game will kick in. All we can do is wait and watch for noe. enough said.

My opinion affection should be shown in private(at home) or among close friends/relatives. This goes for gay couples or any couple for that matter.

Let's make it better PLEASE!! Follow the road map.

I for one don't care to buy gold. It's to easy to sell if stolen. Insurance company want cover it. So if someone break into your home, office or car and steal it, you are fresh out of luck. It can be a good investment but the risks are high.

Yes yes, best check with Australia first my friend if not you will have to throw stuff away. been there done that

Bottom line they just don't want to blame anyone YET!! Most likely pilot error or mis info from control tower.

Great way to go 7/11(CPALL)

Beware all.

Yes, best learn from teacher(qualify) and parents, smart kids. All parents and teacher headsup. So many parents and teachers are affraid(shy) what ever to discuss sex with their kids. Just think about mom and dad isn't it better they learn from you or in school from a qualify teacher then from inform friends on the Soi.

You all say he is going to get away with it using medical reasons etc.. and how it can only happen in Thailand etc... But the fact of the matter is that even in the U.K and U.S cold blooded killers get off using the same reasons all the time. Many many killers have never even stood trial as they were deemed "unfit". Its quite amusing as usual to watch the knee jerk reactions bashing anything and anyone in sight. Im not saying what he did wasn’t terrible, as it was, but please why don’t you put some brain power into action when you make a reply instead of condemning everyone to death.

Prosecutors vow to arrest Thaksin upon his return to Thailand

BANGKOK: -- Deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will be arrested if he returns home from a self-imposed exile as planned, even if his victorious allies form a government following last weekend's general election, officials said Thursday.

Thaksin and members of his family face an array of corruption-related charges from the former leader's six years in office. He was overthrown in a bloodless, military coup last year.

"The court and police had already issued arrest warrants on him so once he arrives back to Thailand the authorities concerned are duty-bound by law to arrest him," Samphan Sarathana, a senior official in the Office of the Attorney General told The Associated Press.

Samphan, a director-general in the office, said the results of the election, won by the pro-Thaksin People's Power Party, had no bearing on the legal cases against the former prime minister.

Core leaders celebrate PPP victory with Thaksin in Hong KongHang on he will be coming soon.

Bangkok: -- Core leaders of the People Power party have reportedly met with Thaksin Shinawatra in Hong Kong to celebrate the party’s victory at the polls, according to a source close to the People Power party (PPP).

The first batch of former members of the defunct Thai Rak Thai party had arrived in Hong Kong on Wednesday, the source claimed. They include key leaders of the PPP such as Yongyuth Tiyapairat, Sudarat Keyupapan and Danuporn Punakan. A second batch of PPP members will reportedly make their way to Hong Kong on Thursday.

An article in the South China Morning Post recently stated Mr Thaksin’s intention of using Hong Kong as his Asian base for his planned return to Thailand. The article also reiterated Mr Thaksin’s reluctance to return to the political limelight but that he may consider serving as adviser to the PPP if his asked to do so.

As rumours about the mass gathering of former Thai Rak Thai party members in Hong Kong continue to swirl,

PPP secretary-general Surapong Suebwonglee is busy defending his party’s reputation. He scoffed at rumours that the PPP had bribed three minor parties into forming a coalition government.

“The PPP never offered 1 billion baht to any political party to form a government with us as rumoured,” he said. “I don’t think there is any party that would want to lead a government knowing full well that it had been formed illegally.”

Mr Surapong also went on to deny rumours that PPP leader Samak Sundaravej had held secret talks with Chart Thai leader Banharn Silpa-archa, but admitted that core leaders from both sides had discussed the possibility of working together in the future.

hi peeps

I want to get a Visa for my Cambodian girlfriend to enter Thailand, I have 2 properties in Thailand, can anybody advise how I should proceed.

After that I want to apply for a visa to take her to the UK, again can anybody advise please.

Cant go wrong with Rutnin. Mrs Bendix used it two years ago and the service was excellent. Price was very good too. Thoroughly recommended.

No not a problem base on past few years with the retirement visa, they just want your embassy and the bank to confirm you have the fund in the bank and where they came from.

For the future why not just do as I do and log it on your MSN Calendar and the system will auto notify you when your 90 days rpt is due. I have mine set to sent me an email 7 days/5days prior too.

Thought I was the only one, now I know.

Find him a boyfriend and let his breakup with you.

Watch your step they also leave a MESS.

No haven't heard this story, however it could very well be true for as most farangs who have been in the land of smiles for awhile know a hitman is fairly cheap here and this sort of thing is common place in the land of smiles.

Best source for accurate info is local Immigration office, go for it.

No Doubt farang will be the PRIME TARGET. Mark my words.
