Please don't insert logic into the discussion. The former blue collar workers on Thaivisa with little economic knowledge know better. Its all a secret plot of the junta and HiSo to keep the baht up. 

 

They forget the market rules the price of the currency, they also only see the negative news in Thailand but forget about the problems of Europe and Thailand.

 

Like everyone else id love to see a low THB as i get income in euros but that does not mean i forget what has been taught to me when i studied economics.  

The doom and gloom mentality that the majority of members seem to have is damn annoying. Just want to read some positive news.. or some realistic and good mentality comments but it's hard to find.

Hey, we have Singha/Leo brewery near Khon Kaen.....Dom jock!

Why produce so far away from all the action? 

Why did Thailand cancel visa on arrival for countries like Mexico, Malta, Ethiopia, etc. which have very low cases? While Belgium is mentioned nowhere and has 689 cases. It's like they just randomly picked some extra countries on the map who barely visit Thailand anyway. Yeah cancel visa on entry for Bhutan to contain the virus or that one case in Bhutan will kill us all! 

In case the police wants you to sign documents in Thai, contact your embassy. You always have the right for a translation of the documents that the police ask you to sign. If you are going in front of a judge, make sure you dress appropriately and not like the usual tourist. Wear neat, clean clothes to court.  Think “business casual.” Take off your hat, take off your sunglasses, turn off your cellphone. Contradictory to the advice of some to apologize in front of the judge, many of the wrongdoers who apologize in court are probably motivated by a desire to improve their outcome rather than by true contrition. And thus many judges appear largely impervious to wrongdoers apologies. Ask your lawyer how to proceed.

Judges may not be swayed by an apology, and any apology made to a judge must be approached gingerly. 

If you are going to speak in front of the judge:

Know how to address the judge in Thai. In the US you say "Your honor." 

Your lawyer will know if it's a good idea to apologize and whether you should show expressions of remorse.

If the answer is yes, ask whether you should apologize in Thai. 

Lastly, be prepared.

Dude the essense of truth is that we are all going to die. Period. Lose 50 pounds and get struck by a meteor. Enforce the strictest DWI laws in the world and some drunk will regardless come along and kill a bunch of folks. 

 

There is no extending your life. You will die when you are meant to die.

 

Acknowledging the element of truth in the philosophy is tough when you are blinded by your Western weltanshauung , but hey, on a purely philosophical basis, its right.

 

 

 

There are statistical likelihoods of life spans for groups with certain conditions or circumstances. If there is the ability to shorten your life, then there is the ability to extend your life. You can directly control the extend of your life expectancy. A meteor you cannot. Acknowledge the element of truth. If destiny is death, then you cannot change destiny. You can change the journey to your destiny. If destiny was that you'd be killed by a drunk driver, then destiny could be changed by taking simple preventive measures, like taking the car keys of my drunk friend who'd otherwise have killed you that day. Your inaction to act will cause those who weren't meant to die, to die.

Pheromones, better hygenic for the girls, less bacteria, and the hairsack gives the brain impulses when have sex. 

No one mentions that pubic hair is also a good flosser for your teeth and it keeps the pussy moist. Secondly, you don't get scratches at the edges of your mouth when shes going back and forth. Thirdly, having a bush is a sign of maturity. I don't want to see or feel like i'm banging a 6 year old's kids pussy cause it's so clean shaven.

Geez, you not have the nads to ask her to shave her legs? Man up..

Unlike the West my experience is if you ask them to change simple things like this they will do they want to make you happy.

 

Especially from KK.

It was my first time in Thailand and one of my first experiences with Thai women. I just knew her for a few days and wasn't comfortable saying that to her. Shouldn't they already know that it's a turn off? Just like every man knows that not having shaved your balls is a turn off for most women in the west.

I have been living in Bkk for several years, well ... never seen so many obese girls or unshaven legs in a European university so I guess we just have different standards of beauty. Let's say that I am happy for you that you find Thai ladies attractive, on my side I just prefer to be very selective.

I was in Khon Kaen last year during Songkran and there was this girl that i hanged out with. She was beautiful but after seeing that she didn't shave her legs, i just couldn't.. 

On another note, on beauty, women in the west catch my eye way more often but they're just not approachable. There is always the initial hostility and you've gotta prove your worth her time. I just want to meet new people, not get into your pants or kidnap you.. If i approach 100 women, i might get one number. Thai girls are way more approachable and friendly. If you look average and take care of your hairy legs, then you got me..

Are you sure of the requirement to show a recent pay check for a Single Entry Tourist Visa?

 

 

Also please note: You can be asked to show proof of onward / return travel and proof of funds (20,000 baht - cash / currency equivalent)... there are reports on this forum of people being rejected for not having this. You may not be asked (like last year), or you may be asked and it could become a problem.... 

 

 

 

It is mentioned on the website of the Thai consulate of Belgium. I could show that i have 20.000 baht in my bank account by going through the bank application on my phone. If that's not valid, then i hope there is an exchange office near the border. I find it ridiculous tho. Maybe i should hire a beautiful rental car to pretend i've got lots of money. ????

You mention euro. Guessing you can obtain visa exempt 30 to Thailand. Keep in mind that this can be extended by 30 day. Since your in KK you could bounce to non khai border and obtain another visa exempt. You have many options

Indeed, i get visa exempt for 30 days. Any idea how this can be extended? And can it only get extended once? 

I have read that Thailand limits visa exempt entries at land border to two per calendar year. Does that mean i can gain endless visa exempt entry's by air as long as i have a valid passport?

I think the issue you may have is that you could be asked for a return ticket upon entry to Thailand and if you cannot show one (+20,000 baht cash or currency equivalent) its possible you may be refused entry (unlikely for a first timer, but possible).

 

Options: Assuming you are from a country which permits you to enter on Visa Exemption Stamp on arrival and have no other previous stays / visas for Thailand.

 

Fly in to BKK...  Stay 30 days... Do a Visa Run Via Mukhdahan (you may still be expected to show proof of onward travel out of the Kingdom and 20k baht in cash)

 

The most reliable options: Obtain a Tourist Visa

Chose a ticket on which you can change the return date (or for a small fee).

OR, purchase a fully refundable return ticket and as soon as you arrive, refund the return ticket & buy your one way Ticket home when you require it. 

 

For hotel bookings and proof - there are a number of websites which offer fully refundable bookings...  thus, you can book a hotel... apply for your Visa... then cancel the booking charge free (i.e. booking.com)

I bought a one way ticket to Thailand last year and wasn't refused entry. 

The reliable options sounds worthwhile except there is still one problem, i need to show a recent paycheck. 

And thanks guys ????

I want to go to Thailand but i'm not sure how long i would like to stay. I'm certain it's going to be more than 30 days. What would be the most viable method to stay for over 30 days without a visa, if i'm staying in or near Khon Kaen/Bangkok?

1. The problem with Visa single entry is that i need to show a return ticket. I don't know how long i want to stay so i don't want to buy a return ticket just yet. 

2. Visa multiple entry requires at least €6000 to be on my bank account.

3. For both i need to show a recent paycheck. 

5. For both i need to show in which hotel i'm staying but i would only know where to stay for the first 7 days.. i don't like to be stuck in a place if i don't know i'll like it.

I'm a student with now 3 months free time. I went to Thailand last year and loved it. I saved enough money but i can't show a recent paycheck or that i have €6000 in my bank account.
