  1. No good is going to come from this. Those people don't play around. Maybe not today, but they will get their pound of flesh. In my village I have helped some, by buying some land from them so the sharks wouldn't take their house, I even bought a cow. I won't give them money, I am not a bank. But the sad thing is they will turn around a year later and get another loan. I am into the "here and now" but you have to think about the future sometimes.

  2. I am never sure what it is that they want on this form. First some background.

    I got a 90 day non-imm o e-visa granted Oct 06 2022

    Arrived Nov 13, 2023

    A year extension on  Feb 10, 2023

    Flew out on May 9 2023

    Returned Nov 2, 2023

    On the application, after they ask the type of "VISA", they ask when did you arrive. Do they want the date of my first arrival, or when I returned last? My guess is that they want the dates of my last trip that was on the extension.

    Ah, I get your meaning now...  you meant, a bike that is not flashy enough to get mugged for because your friend was mugged and killed for a bicycle. 

     

     

    Found shot dead on the mountain road between Oaxaca and the coast. Still had his wallet and the money in it. The only thing missing was his expensive touring bike.

    Sorry for your loss... But, how is this relevant ?

    I lost a friend in a car crash in the UK years ago, which carries an equal degree of irrelevance to this topic. 

     

    Careful crossing the road in Thailand... etc etc...  we can't all be scared of 'the worst possible outcome', there would be no adventure left in any of us.

     

    I for one admire anyone who wishes to undertake such a trip, I'd love to do so but am constrained by family and work commitments. 

    Car accidents or crossing roads is not the same as being killed because someone wants what you are riding on. Yes, life is a risk, but it is best not to be walking around a ghetto wearing gold chains unless you have a lot of friends there. Sticking to the main roads, I guess not much trouble. Riding alone on "The roads less traveled" can be risky.
