  1. Not according to Google No, a valid US tourist visa does not allow entry into Thailand for visitors who would otherwise require a visa. Thailand has specific visa exemptions and on-arrival visa options for certain nationalities, but a US tourist visa is not one of them, according to the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Thailand. You must either be from a country that is exempt from needing a visa for Thailand, or obtain the appropriate Thai visa before traveling. It seems improbable, worth checking with the Thai Embassy in whichever country you currently reside?
  2. AXA allow entry up to 80 and will insure up to 90. I have never used them myself, so I can't pass comment upon how helpful they are when it comes to making a claim. Also I would imagine the premiums would be pretty eye-watering.
  3. Probably the best line I'm going to read on here today. 😂
  4. This is from Google AI so don't put too much trust in it Yes, Cambodians can file their 90-day report online in Thailand. Foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 days are required to report their address to immigration authorities every 90 days, and this can be done in person, by mail, or through an online system. To file online, foreigners need to access the Thai Immigration Bureau's website and use the online service for reporting over 90 days. They will need to have their passport and arrival card (TM.6) information readily available, and the online application must be submitted within 15 days of the due date, according to Acclime Thailand. Give it a try and see what happens. As has already been pointed out, do it sufficiently early so that you still have time to visit your immigration office if necessary.
  5. When renewing your passport you retain the passport while the application is processed in the UK. Only colour photocopies of every page are forwarded with your completed application form along with proof of address. In the vast majority of other countries you would be required to return the passport but because the law here requires you have valid ID an exception has been granted by HMPO. Without it you would not be able to enact any face-to-face banking, you would not be able to enter into any contractual arrangements, you would be unable to hire a motor vehicle, you would be unable to stay at a hotel etc, etc. When you make your appointment with VFS you will receive a confirmation, read the second from last paragraph for clarification.
  6. Also some people are retired and have all the time in the world to magnify small inconveniences into mountains. Sadly, it is what we tend to do as we get older. Thankfully, I have, so far, managed to avoid any major difficulties with Immigration, minor hiccups, yes but nothing more. However there are others who have fallen foul of the rules for reasons they may not understand. Some come on here to seek help, others to just bellyache. It's just human nature.
  7. Absolutely delighted that you appear to have broken free of this bureaucratic nightmare. However, it does seem perverse that they are prepared to accept the Country rather than the county as a place of birth. Doesn't exactly narrow it down, does it? Anyway, the important thing is that they have conceded and common sense has triumphed for once.
  8. The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band.
  9. Mr. G doesn't your post attest to the fact that you suffer from confirmation bias every bit as much as those you criticise for displaying it?
  10. I don't drink to get drunk, I drink because I like the flavour of certain beers. Back in the UK some of my favourite ales were "summer ales" that were typically brewed lighter in colour but still maintaining an intense flavour of hops that you would associate with ale rather than lager. My particular favourite was Dizzy Blonde brewed by Robinson's of Stockport. I had long given up ever finding anyhing remotely comparable over here. However, last year I found M32's Hoppy Pale Lager on the shelves at Villa in Bangkok and, more recently, much to my delight it is now stocked by my local Lotus's in Pak Chong. It's become my favourite sundowner. If you are an ale man rather than a lager man then give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised 😋.
  11. For all you cynics - she really was telling the truth - the buffalo's sick.
  12. Oh ye of little faith! Of course Georgie phoned Scotland Yard. As everyone knows, their number is Whitehall 1212. Initially his call was answered by that nice Sergeant Dixon who greeted him with an cheery " Evening all" before putting his call through to Inspector Taggart. (This is where Georgie had difficultly understanding the Scottish accent.) Following on from Georgie's report, Interpol have been notified and worldwide the police are looking for an international ring of credit card fraudsters headed by a Mr. Big aka The Fat Bas***d. Well, anyone who orders 5 meals a night is unlikely to be a skinny runt, are they? Personally I have no problem with Georgie's story. It all sounds perfectly plausible to me.
  13. It's a bit of a vicious circle. When you get infected with the malaria parasite from a mosquito bite, subsequent mosquitos that bite you will, in turn, be infected by the parasite now present in your blood. They will then go on to bite other people and infect them. Early detection and treatment should reduce the amount of time infected people continue to spread the parasite.
  14. I would think if you just used the expression with him that you used in your original post " I think it's great he's free" then that would be enough. If your brother wants a conversation with you on the subject then allow him to instigate it. Good luck to him, it has clearly taken a lot of courage for him to open up about his true feelings.
  15. Given the subject matter, I should add that I remember Mary Hopkin's "Those were the days" Appropriate, I think 😄
