  1. Can you just turn up with a British passport & get a Visa to cross over for a few hours at Mae-Sai Tachileik

    If so,how much do it cost ?

    Yes. Visa is 500 baht. Or 10 US dollars. roughly 200 baht cheaper if you use a $10 dollar bill.

    Be aware, upon re-entry to Thailand you will use an entry on a multi entry visa, or be given 15 day land crossing visa.

    Update: Before the TV correctness police come bearing down. Not sure if it's technically a "Visa".

    Yes - i did this over 3 years ago ... went to the boarder post paid my fees and they generated an Entry Permit with my details and picture on the spot.

    The scary part was that they retained my passport .... but no problem - on my return a few hours later it was waiting for me !

    As advised above I ended up with a 15 day land crossing visa on arrival for thai - which was OK for me, but check your dates.

  2. I've used Eva many times on the LHR-BKK route and think it's a great airline .... not up there with Singapore .... but not that far behind.

    Usually cheapest on that route, or close enough to cheapest, that a direct flight with the time savings over a slighty cheaper flight with a change in AMS or the middle east is worth it.

    Flying with them again in December ....

  5. Thai A(H1N1) resistant to Tamiflu – Malaysians told to stop wanking

    By John Le Fevre

    (THAIVISA.COM): -- Thai authorities are urging calm after the first case of pandemic A(H1N1) found resistant to the front-line antiviral drug Tamiflu was found in a patient at Ramathibodi Hospital.

    The discovery was made in a batch of 50 confirmed pandemic A(H1N1) samples being tested by the hospital laboratory.

    The two cases will be discussed at a meeting of virologists and health authorities tomorrow, which will also review the national strategy for combatting the spread of the virus and the planned stockpiling of oseltamivir, the generic version of Tamiflu.

    The meeting will also discuss treatment guidelines and whether Thailand should stockpile the alternative antiviral drug zanamivir.

    Oseltamivir is not a generic version of Tamiflu ... it's the active ingredient in Tamiflu.

    Would be concerned if a generic version is being administered - I'm sure there's plenty of dodgy stuff masquerading as generic Tamiflu.

    Zanamivir has to be administered before the onset of symptoms .... so that's a whole different approach.
