Deserted

You just can't trust thai squirrels these days.

I wonder how much time he will get for that?

He he, I like this guy, that's funny.

Not for about 6 years, but friends have been. Not gourmet by any means. Well prepared Thai food done the old fashioned way.

Thanks, I'll check it out over the summer.

For a slice of old time Bangkok go to Suda Restaurant soi 14. Been there for over 40 years, they own the building so costs are kept low. The area around it has been spruced up with some nicer restaurants but Suda's is still the same. Good Thai food at a fair price served by locals. Mostly outside seating but they do have and air conditioned dining area. Its located just about 100 meters into the soi. 

This looks like a good spot, so you've been there before and liked the place yes?

Check out the restaurants in the shopping centers like Terminal 21 or Paragon.

There's also some descent middle of the road restaurants in Siam Square.....

Done that in both places already, some decent enough places in both. I was thinking more in terms of restaurants in the sois rather than the malls, like the one we went to on Soi 8 the other week. 

As we know, Sukhumvit is a rather long road and I have no plans to walk up and down the whole thing. I am usually in between Chit Lom and Phrom Phong and I am looking for a Thai restaurant. Please allow me to clarify. I don't mean street stalls and I don't mean those cheap places with no windows with low cost food. I mean a proper restaurant like the one we went to on Soi 8. We don't want high end hi-so restaurants either, just those in the middle that a small family can visit. Looks nice enough, prices are reasonable, lots of options on the menu. I should point out that I am a vegetarian. Any suggestions, name of restaurant and soi will be much appreciated. 

Crime doesn't pay.

Stung my eyes just reading this.

On the embassy webpage in Saudi, it links the E-visa platform and when I called them they told me to go there. I will call them back Monday and ask how to proceed.

Are you a foreign resident of Saudi Arabia, or just a tourist there?

I am a resident there. Can I do it here and get a 60 day visa, save me waiting at immigration.

Okay, so I can arrive on 30 day visa exemption and have this extended in Bangkok by 30 days, is that correct?

My passport is British. So I can extend for 30 days at Immigration in Bangkok? I normally come for just a week and never do such things. So 30 day tourist visa can get 30 day extension in Bangkok?

Hi there, I am presently in Saudi Arabia. There is a Thai embassy here and I called them up saying I would be in Thailand for the summer for 55 days, do you issue 60 day tourist visas. I got a bit of an impolite response. They said just go on-line and apply for E-visa and do it that way. I have never done this before as this is the first time I have been told this. He said 'Why should we when you can' so I couldn't be sure if they just don't want to or they do not have authority. Hard to tell. Anyway, if I want to spend 50 days in Thailand over the summer, can this be taken care of by applying for an E-visa on line? Never been down this path before, hence why I am asking. How does the process work exactly?

This shows you exactly what is wrong with Thailand today. Why don't they operate flights from Suvanahbumi to Don Muang? She would have been okay then as it would have cut out the traffic. 

Jail time for this one 

I didn't know. Many thanks

Hi. I gotta a visa run coming up. I haven't been to Nam Phu Ron (Kanchanaburi) for like 6 years. How is it now? Is it quick to get it done there now? How much does it cost?

When's he going to enter back into politics?

There's truth in that, many sell just to get by because its all they've got. 

Ah man, who went and left grenades lying about...he could have had someone's face off!

The list is too suspicious of a small sample size and it doesn't say anything about why there are many countries that have up to 3 times more tourists than Thailand per year, and its been that way for decades, and unlikely to change.

But its money coming in and that's what they want. 

He's in trouble now.
