  1. Thaksin’s own populist policies helped bring millions of rural poor out of poverty.

    I'd like to know where the evidence is for this bold statement.

    Comparing how things were when Thaksin first took power, and how things are now, with regards poverty, i would say that if anything, people are, generally poorer, thanks to the rocketing inflation.

    We can post here about, Red, Yellows, Black, and even, most forget i guess, about the dark Blue Shirts in Pattaya 2010. But as long as the people of this wonderful country is not allowed to speak freely, as long there will be no good future. (sorry for my rabbish english.)

  2. I made holidays in Bonny Scotland in 1988 and 1991.
    And im a bit proud to say, i drank some pints and whiskies in the home Pub of the famous band Nazareth. Many golden Albums on the walls of the Pub. Unfortunately, the band was in Spain on tour then, said the neice of the Drummer (R.I.P.) to me. Anyway, my friend and I won the Boccia game in the backyard of the Pub. I like Bonny Scotland.

  3. I live in Thailand nearly 4 years. I am nearly 49.

    My Marriage with my Thai wife is going downhill and i would like to ask in advance is it possible to change my Marriage Visa (extension until Summer 2014) to an ED Visa in Thailand? (Until i get 50, i have to wait another 15 month for a retirement visa).

    For any answer or other Visa opinions i would be thankful.

  4. To all thank you so far for the helpful informations.

    My Insurance told me to go to Phyathai 2 hospital.

    Any experience with this.

    (btw. the Insurance told me to go there, BUT my English Insurance is very slowly to answer questions

    and in my opinion not really dependable. (don't ask deatails yet)

    So maybe i will pay the cost by myself 'cause i can not wait much longer to undergo the surgery.)

  5. I have to remove my gall bladder very soon and i need urgent advice.

    It will be for rather shure a "open surgery" than a Laparoscopic one.

    In my province Surat Thani where i live there is no option to me, i checked this already out

    Which hospital in Bangkok is to recommending?

    I have (maybe) to pay the costs by myself.

    So i don't look for the most expensive one.

    Any advice whoch one, and costs?

    Thank you in advance

    (and soory for my poor English)

  6. I got my 2 entry visa today in Vientiane. I have one 3 entry visa from Helsinki and two 2 entry visas from Vientiane before that.

    Today I also got red stamp beside my visa:

    "Remark: The holder has travelled to Thailand with Tourist Visa 9 times. The Embassy may not accept the application next time"

    Classic T.I.T........hey, lets give out free visas to encourage tourism, but we don't actually want you to apply for one, and really we don't want you here at all, we're doing just fine without you!.....hmmm

    NINE tourist visa's :) Hardly a genuine tourist.

    exactly

  7. Hello,

    I am currently a foreigner with B-permit living in Zurich, Switzerland.

    I know that the Geneva consulate gives out triple entries tourist visas. Apparently the one in Zurich doesnt.

    I wonder if it's worth the trouble to go down to Geneva and wait for 48 hours to get one more entry. After I will spend my 2 entries in Thailand will it be easy to get a new visa?

    Does anyone have any experience with the thai consulate of Zurich?

    Thank you!

    you can use Consulate in Basel too
