Cant be done at the friendship bridge because i asked the guy at immigration.I basically thought im stamped out of Thailand why cant i walk across the road and come back in save going over the bridge.Asked the Thai immigration and received a very curt NO.

Hey Begs---------  really more expensive in Thailand.  Wow.  What is the price of one pill in UK vs one pill in Thailand.

Just wondering cause I am not familiar with street dope prices.

Daveyo

Ectasy pill in the uk would cost you about 3 quid. if you bought the amount this guy was carrying it would probably be even cheaper.

Found with the same quantity in the Uk the kid would not spend more than 3 years in jail if that..

If they ask why you refuse, just tell them what i said. I have been scanned since my departure and my luggage has security tags on it and it is not tampered with, so therefore i refuse the scan. Then say Khop Khun and get out of there and mind your own business.

No Mr/mrs customs officer you cannot search my bag cos Dave Yo says you cant alright. Khop Khun

Dave Yo , You are at it again, you are a major source of Absolute misinformation......i cringe at some of your posts....incredible.....incredible

Total mad rantings but youve got to admit they are funny in their own way.....

Quite rightly so . So how about treating the Prince of Wales and future king of Great britain with the same respect , hypocrites.

that a number of persons in detention for visa infringements had gone missing while being transferred

Meaning they paid there way out ????

Boy,The brits must really have some laws protecting the rich,do you still have debtors prison?

In the USA if he hocked his house and never made a payment or filled up his credit cards and then left,tough shit.

Hocking the house is a secured loan and they took that as a surity that he would pay or they would have the house and not loose any money.

If he topped up from the cash on the credit cards,there is nothing they could do legaly except harass him for the money as it is not secured,some folks run their credit cards up and worry about it and listen to banks and hock the house to pay them off,then if times get tougher they lose the house because it is a secured loan, no financial manager will ever advise getting a secured loan to pay off an unsecured one, they have no recoarse as they gave you the credit cards because they trusted you,..

Its exactly the same in england . Credit cards are unsecured loans so unless you have lied to them to obtain one (fraud) they have no powers to actually make you pay.Any unsecured loans under 20000 pounds with any particular bank , credit card company etc.. they will not even investigate.It is not worth the cost when alls said and done you may have spent it anyway.

P.s they have no way of finding you in england never mind Thailand if you are not on the electoral role.

I lived with a friend for a while who went bankrupt after his business failed .Before he actually went under he basically took as much as he could credit wise because it does not matter what the amount is.He spent 3 mins in bankruptcy court and that was it.For 3 years he can only earn so much without telling the courts and cannot have a bank account etc.. and then after he can start again.He actually became landlord of a pub straight after bankruptcy but everything was in his girlfriends name.

It will be your phone line .My connection was ok for months then suddenly started dropping off like yours after minutes.I checked the phone line and it was cackling as was our neighbours so knew it wasnt the wires at our home.Got the phone engineer out who was an areshole who told me to move house if i wanted to connect to the internet.Wasnt having any of his bullshit ie you live to far from the exchange etc.. and he checked the area out and fixed it.The cheek of the man was unreal you pay your monthly phone rental charges etc., you want a phone line that doesnt cackle.

He went round the area with his men and fixed it and phoned me to say if i have any more problems to move house   .Yeah right....

I think the wests democracys are excellent but its leaders are pitiful. Reading that resume of bush makes my skin crawl . Theres no way on earth a man like that should be allowed to become president of the usa.Leaders should be of the utmost integrity in my opinion and lead by example not by twisting and bending rules to suit there needs.All the leaders show people nowadays is that the only way to achieve anything is through violence and if youve got money you can do what you like.

Just think how many people have died in the war on drugs over the years and now there is an ex crack head in the whitehouse .What do you think the people who died fighting for freedom in ww2 would think of that.

No there are forms to fill in .The thai person needs to obtain a border pass which im not sure where they get officially .I took my girlfriend to vientianne about 1 1/2 years ago and used one of the visa shops near the bridge.They got her a border pass no problem within 30 mins and she does not have a passport only an id card.Some one on here will tell you where thais get the border pases from.

Yes they were fees i think around 200 baht but not sure as it was a while ago.

This is what the iraq war has been about from day1 .

This makes the corruption in thailand look like childs play.

Membrane can you please explain why america did invade iraq if it wasnt for oil.Do you not find it a coincidence that iraq had signed contracts with european countries to well its oil fields.Can you also explain why september 11th happened and why america are hated by so many people throughout the world ?

America will do very well out of invading iraq.The money to help rebuild iraq , damage which america has caused, will be loaned.The contracts to rebuild going to american firms at inflated prices and the oil money paid by america given back to america on interest on these loans for time immortal.A country forever in debt.

If it was because of the reasons bush gave then why doesnt america invade burma, rhodesia, somali, and the country thats openly taunted america in admitting its reopened its nuclear programme NKorea. There is no god #### OIL in these brutally run countries thats why.Due you expect people to beleive america has suddenly started caring about people under brutally opressive regimes.Dont make me laugh.

Why has america not invaded saudia arabia where a large percentage of the terrorists involved in september 11th are known to have originated.

Im not anti american per se but i am anti propaganda and bullshit.American politicians are nothing more than actors that can play a role for any situation.Good god arnold shwarzeniggers even been elected, i thought id seen it all.

I had a converation with a german tonight who assures me any farang can own , outright , upto 1 rai of land .Is this correct ?

Perhaps the German tells everyone this as he's looking to 'sell' a Rai to anyone that swallows the tale. It's cheap because blah, blah, blah...

Just another bullshit merchant propping up the bar

No hes actually a very nice chap considering he is not only German but a policeman as well.He has been coming here for many years now and for some reason had got it into his head that he could own 1 rai of land.I was pretty sure he was wrong but wanted to find out for his sake because i know for a fact his thai wife has been seeing another bloke while the poor blokes been here so he is being misinformed and made to look a stupid about many things .So for his sake maybe in the future it may stop him being tricked somehow.

Are you just looking for somebody to support your view point? I don't know the answer, but I have the impression that you will now go back to this chap and say, "Somebody else agreed with me, therefore what I say must be true."

Ask someone who is qualified, rather than post your question on a world-wide basis, just seeking the answer that you require.

Scouse.

The reason i posted the question on here is because i know there are people who regularly contribute on this board that know the answer.People that deal with company formation,visa regs etc.And also people mainly the administrators who will no doubt have come across this question before.

So please scouse less of the patronising replies.You dont know me but am not the sort of person who is just seeking the answer i require.I am seeking the right answer.

I get the impression you are the sort of person that feels the need to butt into someones conversation to make yourself heard for the sake of it without actually saying anything of value.

Can anybody tell me if it is possible for any old farang ie a person without a business , special privaleges etc. to own land in thailand 100 percent.

I had a converation with a german tonight who assures me any farang can own , outright , upto 1 rai of land .Is this correct ?

Indo-Siam,

Pretty underwhelming evidence of any recent initiative to change the VOA program.  By the way, why do you continue to characterize anybody that uses or defends the multiple 30 day VOA program as "marginal types" or undesirables?  Did you not state previously that at some time in the past you yourself utilized this privilege and do not have anything against people who use it today? Now you are attacking people that defend the continuation of this policy because you question the fact that their motives are not aligned with political activists and NGOs. Have you completely lost the plot?

quite agree.As for the remark about not crying foul  about the rights of these political activists and NGOS what do you expect with the attitude you get on here ? Of course we are going to think of ourselves first when some of us have families and children to consider, wouldnt you.I could think of many things i consider about the behaviour of the Thai government with regards to freedoms and human rights which i find obscene but i am not going to constantly post  on here about it because i know what the answer will be ."Its not your country they can do what they like blah blah blah...." brown nose brown nose. Even if the people saying it know #### well some of the behaviour is immoral.

ive seen the smallest tin size baked beans you can get and not heinz i.e not a well known brand, in big C for............. 120 baht!!!!!! Nearly 2 english pounds!!!!!!! You can by the same quality tin of beans in england but the larger size for 15 pence or upto 30 pence if you want the top of the range beans.

God i miss my beans on toast

Dear Parry Handy,

Yes you are correct with your post.

Your quote :-

They caught Hambil before this clampdown didnt they ? Correct but please read my post, about the horse............. now they have closed the gate.

----------------------------------------------------

I do live on one of the so call Borders of Thailand, in Kan, (my name is Win) (hence Kan Win) but, what this site has been on and on and on about is Fake Visas, that is why I posted this ………… they go caught DUE to Terrorism and got found wanting. (I do feel for them, but?????? )

What I meant (reading between my lines also)  was that the Fake Visa people should really not complain about the “Catch” situation.

Hope you understand Thailand’s point of veiw and also mine own..,

God Safe the King

Your missing my point.This will not stop terrorism and does not make me feel safer.I am from england and we have had more bombings and terrorist activities than a lot of countries to do with problems in northern ireland. I would say our immigration controls are tighter than most places and together with fact we are an island you would think they should not have happened.

I think by overeacting to terrorists you make them the winners. I would rather have more freedom than bow down to a few nutters.

The real villians to do with the fake passport incidents are the agency people and the corrupt immigration police who are performing a duty of national security and honour and have been left wanting for the sake of a few baht.

God save Queen Elizabeth and the good King of Thailand.

Please excuse this post if anyone is offended one. (Fake Visas)

Has anyone thought of this one ???

With terrorists around every corner of the World right now, it is good that Thailand is doing something about this to protect themselves and all other nationalities visiting Thailand (before the horse has bolted through the gate) so to speak ? (Close it now). As they have done.

That is how I see Thailand clamping down on the Visas  checks and renewals.

So in the “Catch” of Terrorists entering Thailand, the Thai Authorities also “Catch” the fake visas at the same time.

I think it is better to “Catch” the Terrorists at the Thai boarders, than to have a repeat of Bali or much worse etc……  here in THAILAND.

Your thoughts please

good yes . But as for catching and stopping terrorists what they are doing now will make little difference in the scheme of things.They caught Hambil before this clampdown didnt they ? Thailand has huge overland borders and very poor sympathisers in the south.

It is the same under acheiver from back home you try to vacation away from. The same person in Thailand that played

the farang card with the locals, you know the one you  meet

that is the authority type on everything on the cheap way to do everything. The one that his first consideration on everything is how cheap can they do or get it for regardless

of the quality lost doing so.

 The same person that will run around flashing the 15 or 20,000

baht around to the locals for pure showmanship but when it comes to a couple nice meals and nights out with the home folk never has the money to do so or he hangs around until it is getting close to his turn to buy the next round and guess who disappears for an hour or so who meets you at the next stop but avoids making good on the next round.

The foreigner who is just a plain old cheap charlie everything has to be cheap or nothing at all.

The fellow countryman that scammed a pension out of the government or company back home who shows up living in Thailand because the conditions are better for him/her. You know the one who has no problem partying it up and shagging anything that moves but could not make it the honest way back home.

The guy that has saved his 10,000 Lbs back home and is now going to live in a foreign country for a few to many years.

The same person that has started the new family, that cannot survive without them, who now has picked up the local job that pays what a high school kid back home makes.

You know the person who says if I am going to fail I might as well fail here in Thailand and stink the place up for everyone else.

The loud mouth that cannot talk without letting everyone within 50 meters of them know what they have to say.

Plenty of rich people i know have many of the characteristics you describe.......

ParryHandy - I agree with you to a point, but my business is mobile phone text messaging services etc. In Europe I'm considered one of the top 'techies' in this sector (apparently!!) - and I reckon i would have no problems in operating a profitable business in Thailand along similar lines.

But this Malaysian program does look of interest!! I am honestly tempted!!

Fair play to you then sounds like you could make it pay in a lot of countries.

Good luck whatever you decide.
