Those 3 pictures with the reds in action really are scary.

Thanks first I have sen

Hard to tell what is going on though.

Retaliation...attack....defense??

They come from a Michigan blog site??

Get real, they are trying to kick the shit out of the police/army, and one guy, probably a civil servant at the ministery. What do you mean, hard to tell?

BREAKING NEWS !!!...

TANKS have now been deployed to strategic round abouts...... not looking good for Thailand !!

TOT is the slowest on Phuket. I pay 1000b for Cyber GOLD and I get TIN delivered. Unfortunately I got a telephone line fromTOT. My complaint to
Khun Phonlasate Krichtiyawuth

Telelcommunications Consumer

Protection Institute

87 Pahonyothin Soi 8

Kweng Samsennai

Khet Phyathai

Bangkok 10400

was not a resounding success.

TOT came back, having checked my line, again. Domestic ok, 1700kbs. I knew that.

International is the bottle neck, worst for TOT. Legally they promise a certain kbs but say nothing about domestic or international.

See Phuket Gazette reporting

http://www.live-access.com/PhuketInternet.aspx

Tried to get TT&T which is much better , was told no lines available

Question= how to change a phone line or is it property of TOT?.

Any other solutions?

I agree with H2oDunc ....

You get what you pay for ... and there all similar .. It's thailand...

I believe that two reasons exist way a Thai may not be able to leave the country. 1) Called for, or currently serving in the military. 2) Having served a sentence in prison.
Aside from that, Brits can indeed "marry" their partners at the British Embassy in Hanoi (as I did last year), or at the British Consulate in Ho Chi Minh. Quite a few couples based in Thailand have made the trip. As correctly mentioned, it can't be done at the Bangkok embassy.

Hi pauln , your two reasons are speculation only.

My thai BF cannot travel mainly because of his work situation, he cannot get a week or two off as would be needed. He may be able to get 3-4 days maximum. Also, I am Australian & not British ... as I understand it...Brits can go to Vietnam & marry. correct ??

March 29, 2009

What nationality are you?

Hi endure,

I am Australian.

March 22, 2009

Hi all,

I am perplexed as to the easiest & most convenient way to marry a thai BF.

I realise it is not possible in Thailand , and another problem is the thai BF cannot travel to another country.

Is there any other way to marry other than travel outside thailand ??

Can you submit doc's by mail or email to another country ??

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers.

Hi all ,

Just a quick one. My 90 day border run stamp expired 06 Nov. Then I obtained a TR in KL .

I left thailand on 08 Dec to go to work.

________________________________________________________________________________

Can I return to thailand next week and receive a 30 day stamp ( Visa Waiver ) at the airport to enter , stay 4 days then go to Australia for a week and come back to thailand and receive another 30 day stamp to stay.

Are you allowed any number of 30 day stamps ( Visa Waiver ) throughout the year. .... this is not affected by the 90day rule ???

Im an Aussie living here in Samui ive been told that it is possible to get centrelink payments here while out of Australia. Ive tried to contact centrelink to no avail. Anyone know if we can get any assistance? Cheers

I very much doubt it.

Why not try for rent assistance at the same time.

If you have a visa a return or onward ticket is not required.
5 pages should be more than enough.

Thanks Ubonjoe fo your continued help & advise.

It is always greatly appreciated.

Hi all ,

I will apply for a 2 entry TV while in Brisbane in January.

I have air-ticket BKK-BNE-BKK.

Even though I will have a 2X TV .....

Will I need to buy another ticket BKK-BNE to show at the airport in Brisbane, or can I buy a cheap train ticket to Malaysia just to show a leaving date ? ( or do i not need to show one ? )

also, is 5 pages enough for my visa .. ?

thanks for any help.

cheers.

November 17, 2008

Anyone know if there are any problems obtaining a 2x TV from KL? (or is Vientiane still the best place to go?)
Tnx!

I just came back from KL.

KL will provide one TV single entry only.

rgs..

Hi all, just need a little advice here on my visa question.
This week ( Nov 5th ) I will go to KL and apply for a Thai Tourist Visa 2 months. Border runs finished last month for me.

Then December 23rd, I will go to Australia for 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand - (arrive bangkok 8th January.)

My question is , will I need to apply for another Tourist Visa when in Australia as the previous 2 month one from KL will expire approximately January 5th ( 2 months from Nov 5 )

or can I get the one months extension added to the 2 months while in Aussie somehow ? and do I need to make sure the Tourist Visa issued in KL is a double entry or this doesn't matter as a single will only be issued ??

What's my best option ?

Thank's for anyone's help.

cheers.

I agree with Lite Beer you may not get a 2 entry tourist visa in KL. If you end up with a single you can get a 2 entry or even a 3 entry in Australia.

If you get a 2 entry in KL here is another option.

Before leaving in December go to immigration and get a 30 day etension of your 60 day entry (1900 baht). Then get a re-entry permit while at immigration (1000 baht). That would allow you to make your trip without loosing your first entry.

Thank's ubonjoe & litebeer.

So supposing I only get a single entry from KL , then I need to get another Tourist Visa in Aussie to come back.

The 30 day extenstion is not really any help unless I received a double entry in KL ?? correct ??

thanks.

Hi all ,

Can someone please clarify something for me. ( i may not be correct on my assumption here )

I will be leaving Thailand this week for three months. After 3 months I will return for a two week holiday.

I have received two ( 30 day visa exempt border stamps ) so I pressume I have one border run left available based on the 90 days allowed in 6 months rule.

When I return in three months, will I be able to enter Thailand at the airport with an airport 30 day visa exempt stamp or will I have to apply for another TV from abroad before coming ?

dates approx only :

Dec 7 , ( 30 day visa exempt border stamp )

Jan 5 , ( 30 day visa exempt border stamp )

Feb 4 , ( TV 60 day )

Mar --- ( incl TV )

Apr 5 , ( 30 day extension )

RETURN - August 1st .

Thank's for any feedback on this one.

Cheers!
