  1. I need to obtain a non-Immigrant Visa type-O for my marriage visa in Thailand.Is it possible to get it in the Thai Vientiane Consulate(or Embassy)?

    I'm planning to go there on the October 12th'09,but there is a Laos National Holiday this day,so I wander if the Thai Consulate will be open?

    I will be driving a car,so is it possible to take the car to Laos,or is it just to much trouble?

    Consulates are closed on Thai holidays and local national holidays.

  2. Mong Thongdee, the 12-year-old stateless boy who won first prize in a paper airplane team competition, has been honoured as a science ambassador and promised a scholarship for a doctorate degree.

    Mong Thongdee, 12, shows the medals he won at the Japanese paper airplane contest as he is kissed by his mother, father and sister at Suvarnabhumi airport upon his return yesterday. Among the well-wishers was Science and Technology Minister Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich, whose ministry will grant him a science scholarship. JETJARAS NA RANONG

    Science and Technology Minister Kalaya Sophonpanich yesterday led officials to greet Mong at Suvarnabhumi airport and said the boy had been rewarded for encouraging other children to study the sciences.

    The Science and Technology Ministry will sponsor his study, Khunying Kalaya said.

    "All Thais are proud of him and the ministry will offer him a scholarship to study for a doctorate," she said.

  3. Not a Thai verdict at all.

    I had expected that some lower Thaksin boys had been convicted.

    How about former commerce Minister Adisak Potharamik that made a "Thaksin" and left the country before the verdict.

    All got cleared, that must have hurt the red shirts argument that Thaksin was convicted on political grounds.

    Not a very valid point PS --- this line from The Nation might make the real position clearer for you.

    "the case was initiated when Newin was on Thaksin's side but was concluded when he was not - yesterday's ruling did not come as a shock."

    Don't agree.

    It was concluded during one of Thaksins proxy PM's.

    This trial started when the red shirts still was in power.

  4. Thanks all. This is my first extension using the 400k route (previously I used my wifes salary) and NK immi said 2 months was ok.

    My office said if already on extension of stay then the bank money has to be in for 3 months.

    Had last year extension on salary and wanted to get the bank option this year.

    Luckily I could go for the salary option once more because I only had the cash in bank for 2 months.

  6. Supreme Court acquits all defendants in rubber sapling case

    The Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Office Monday found all 44 defendants in the rubber sapling case not guilty.

    The court reasoned that there was nothing wrong in the term of the reference for the bidding of the project and there were no irregularities in the project's budget spending as the money was needed for helping the farmers.

  7. Hi all,

    very helpful post by the way especially about the hotel and requirements for the visa...

    Just a few questions I hope someone can clarify for me.

    I'm about to leave for KL tonight to apply for a 1 year Non B multiple entry visa. I have the company papers and letters etc in order but as I havent actually started working for the company yet and dont have WP do you think they will they issue a 1 year visa or not??

    I think the company has over 5 million baht registered capital...

    If not will they tell me at the embassy or just take my 550 RM and after tell me I can only get a 3 month visa...

    Cheers

    No, you will not get 1-year without WP.

    With a WP3 (receipt that you have applied for WP) you will get 3-months single entry
