Import Duties

Best avoid FedEx or DHL as the both automatically add the Import tax, If the shipper uses normal postal service (registered) then its up to Customs to find the package and tax.

Thats my experience.

Hi

I can’t comment specifically on non migrant O multi entry but I have used the Consulate several times for Non Imm O Multi Entry (visiting friends, no longer available) and Double Entry TV with a Dublin postal address. I avoid the Thai Embassy in Dublin 'cos they're rude. Be aware that Royal Mail is extremely slow and inefficient. Dublin to UK, 2days, UK to Dublin 5 days, arriving the day before I returned to Thailand. The staff at Hull were very helpful, replied quickly to emails etc.. and actually advised me when the passport was posted, tracking number etc...

Savannakhet works fine, its a Consulate so perhaps more in need of the money from visas

There are fanatics in all religions.

This one seems particularly bigoted and a disgrace to Buddhism.

It’s strange when an individual who actually believes in the Religions ideology gets labelled a fanatic – Whilst those who wish to see themselves as Religious get labelled moderates when they ignore the negative aspects of their God’s laws. Surely religion's ideology is either real (God's Laws) or it isn't, and if the later then let society do away with it. I come from Ireland where the actually tenets of Catholicism did in times past ban interfaith and interracial marriages. The only future for the woman and minorities in Myanmar is a Secular Constitution where all religions have the right to practice and all people the right to challenge the varies religion myths.

10 years in prison, property confiscated? Fanaticism in my book just for being Muslim.

Fanaticism - again we only talk like this when we deal with religion - If u belive that the earth rotates on its own axis every 24 hours u don’t get labelled a Solar Fanatic – If you believe that woman are equal to men you don’t get labelled a Secular Fanatic - But if u actually believe that tenets of ur religion, u get labelled radical or fanatical – The issue is that society allows religion to play be different rules.

I have an idea," said the father. He put a ten-dollar bill, a bottle of whiskey, and a Bible on the coffee table. "If he takes the money he'll be a banker. If he takes the whiskey he'll be a wino, and if he takes the Bible that means he'll be a preacher."

So the man and his wife hide just before their son comes in the door, and watch from where they're hiding.

The boy saunters over to the coffee table. He picks up the ten-dollar bill, looks at it, then sets it down. He picks up the bottle of whiskey, uncorks it, sniffs it, then sets it down. Then he picks up the Bible, leafs through it, then sets it down. Then the boy takes the money and stuffs it into his pocket, grabs the whiskey, and walks off with the Bible under his arm.

"Well how do you like that!" exclaims the father. "He's going to be a Republican politician!"

Must be great value since they omitted the price

I just tried Bodegas Centenarius" Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot and on the basis of what it is, a 4l boxed wine, I’d have to
say I recommend it. I actually add ice to it, something that back home I’d be jailed for, but again no hangover, no
issues with stomach and its drinkable. It’s not a premium wine but can’t fault it.

I've done several times via Hull to Dublin, Ireland and never a problem with the Consulate. I have issues with the arrogance
of the staff at the Thai Embassy in Dublin. Just be careful of your timing 'cos Royal Mail sucks. Dublin to Hull in 24 hours, Hull to Dublin
5 days (u can follow the progress on line). I got my passport returned day before I travelled.

Hi

The other day used Thai Transport VIP 32 from Mukdahan to BKK - Was ok but not as good as NCA or Sombat Tour. Sadly these two companies don't do Mukdahan. Any recommendations on good VIP 32 to/from Mukdahan?

Thanks

If you ask and are married or have children, they give even 1 year multiple reentry visa.

with the necessary documentation

Hi.

This isn't (obviously) a detailed report. It's just a short posting to let
readers know that there was no hassle in getting another Double Entry from
Savannakhet.


Application 9-11am arrived 9:03 and took thirty minutes. Thirty people ahead of me
(my receipt number was 50) and 25 behind. Double Entry THB2,000.



Next day 2pm. Passport Holders are called in order per their receipt number.
Took 10 minutes to get my passport back. All was well.

fyi there are many exchange bureaus who use the Superrich rates at the top of Pradipat Road near to BTS Saphan Khwai

It might be useful for those members living close bye

Hi

Planning to visit here later this month looking for a Double Entry Visa. Anyone recent experience? Been there before, so don't eed detailed advice, just whether they are issuing Double Entry Visas.

Thanks

Hi

Anyone one know what the Laos banks charge for using an Kasikorn ATM. I know that Kasikorn charges 100baht.

Thanks

Hi Guys

If you sign up for the airlines reward card, many airlines will give you an additional allowance. On my return leg from Dublin to BKK, the check in clerk was charging me for excess baggage before i reminded him that my allowance was 28kg v 23kg.

It’s not the Oriental Express
nor is it really first class with a first class attendant - You will be badgered
constantly by restaurant staff trying to sell food and beer on the basis that
your loaded – They're not there to serve you but to make tips

Second class, aircon, lower berth (top one is noticeable

narrower) chosen in the centre of the carriage (best avoid the doors) is much
better value

If you opt for bus then NCA is

first class travel 8.5 hours with a VIP service which includes a persona screen
and a choice of 5 films

Katipo -- "I can't see it changing in that area as the driver's there will assume foreigners don't know who to complain"

How was your experience with the agency when u complained? Was it a simple phonecall or did u need to complete a complaint form?

Just Curious

Any idea why the 7" is so cheap when compared to the 9"

pi r 2 = the 9" is 1.65 times the size of the 7" but 3.3 times the price?

Dual pricing may not necessarily be illegal .... either in Thailand or elswhere.

As someone pointed out if the institution is a state or government supported instituton they may by law quote one price for residents or citizens of that government and another higher rate for non citizens,

For example the University of Massachusetts, which is state supported has different tuition rates for Massachusetts residents and for those residing out of state.

and in this example, would many out of state students regularly 'self justify' why they ought to pay more in tuition fees (altruistic reasons), or would they have an issue.

wrt Education it seems obvious that the State has decided that since its subsiding/funding the tuition in the hope of future taxation income levied on the graduated student, that out of state students may return to their home state

I think for most of us, we're just interested in understanding those who see no issue with dual pricing in Thailand and their reason/logic behind it. We're all entitled to our own opinion, but not our own facts. As I said before, “Before any of us arrived in Thailand we all lived in a society when the concept is/was ‘it’s not the money but the principle’ prevailed, and where it’s not normal to self justify why one should pay more for a product or service” - So we’re just curious as to what happened to change the mind set of those who now self justify dual pricing.
