15 years for a quarter gram of coke? Totally ridiculous sentence anywhere in the world. Especially in a country where rich murderers get off Scott-free. 

What about visa exemptions for the "quality tourists" ? 

Excellent news! And makes a change to read something positive on this forum for a change

Another Houdini who can tie his own hands behind his back and then go on to hang himself. What bullshit

If you received a visa exempt entry (not the same as a visa on arrival) you can extend it one time at CW for 1,900 baht.

I'm from the UK - so according to the immi website that means I'm exempt i think

Hi everyone,

I am a little confused with all the conflicting information going around at the moment. I have one question... I arrived in DMK from KL and got a 30 day visa on arrival. Can I or can I not now go to Chaeng Watthana and get an extension of another 30 days? Next step for me after this will be to go to Laos for a Non O visa.

Thanks in advance

I think it's called, being able to pass your driving test in 2 hours and 500 baht

I have booked a flight Bangkok - Kuala Lumpur to go and come back in on the same day. I was wondering if anyone has done this in the past few weeks and how did it go ? BTW the flight was the same price as doing a visa run by land 2500 on Air Asia..

Cheers

And the 3 Mill ?

RTP know they're <deleted> need to play this one out until all forgotten about

Maybe if the Thai's had a decent beer on the market I'd buy more of it. All Thai beers are crap in my opinion. I'd rather drink something decent but drink less of it than drink chang leo or singha..

"There was no suspicion of foul play and it was assumed that Mr Palin had drowned". Just like the Frenchman found hanging by a rope with his hands behind his back. They're very quick to write these deaths off aren't they?

Gun was planted on victim after his death to prevent murder trial .

Case solved. Inspector Cluso is on this one. Stand back !

Attitude adjustment

Interesting case for the BIB to exercise their professionalism on.

A ' 'British ' crashed his motorcycle, a British what ?

Now, with 4 constituent countries to choose from this is a job for Super Sleuth, oh sorry Chalerm's out of favour.

british drunken thug and his piss head mates

Wasn't really that hard to figure out, was it.

One of the reasons I don't live in the UK is because of Chav idiots like this.

Sounds like someone wasn't paying the "Tea Money"

That General is just brainstorming every day! His ideas are so logical, not..

My Mrs still has hers and I still get her to wear it every now and again. Those uniforms are proper naughty!!!

Unless I hear a confirmation from the British police or the FBI, I will never believe the results "obtained" by the Thai police.

Too right,

This could well be a framing, just to see the end of the embarrassment for the 'tourism industry'. Seems very convenient. And where are these DNA samples being analysed? Can we even believe the results given the level of corruption in this country? I'd say the Myanmar workers are being made scapegoats. And whatever happened to the village head's son. All buried? Very odd...

Let's see the camera footage not just still shots that could've easily been doctored.

So, they've narrowed it down to about half the population of the world. Well done the BIB

Who the hell stabs themselves to death? This can't be a suicide, more like murder...

Next week on Thaivisa.com.

Free double entry tourist visas for everyone!

No worries mate I knew you weren't Anyway just called Don Muaeng and it is indeed not in effect till at least September. I'm going up to Laos tonight to get sorted. Thanks for the info

You're very welcome

It irritates me no end to see the general bashing that sometimes goes on in these forums and has done since they were started years ago. It's why I never post here and just read, but figured today it was important to pass on real information and not the guesswork and misinformation many others have been posting.

Honestly, I've never understood the farang vs farang mentality you often see in Thailand, with some people trying to prove they're 'better' than everyone else by slamming their compatriots at every turn. You'd think it would make more since to stick together as, after all, when push comes to shove, we're all treated the same in the eyes of the Thai authorities.

Plus, my parents always taught me to live with the mantra 'There but for the grace of God go I', as you never know when it's going to be your turn for the short end of the stick. For some, it comes a helluva lot faster than they expect.

Good luck in Laos. Doubt you'll have any problems. Just remember what always benefits you in Thailand - Be polite and respectful, and dress nicely, and it's amazing how much help you can get. It's held me in good stead for 15 years with not one problem from one Thai - ever - and a heck of a lot of help. And that does include an overstay I had myself a couple of years ago

Yep, me too. I rarely come on here for that reason. Bunch of grumpy old sods cashing their pensions with nothing else to do all day but sit on TV bashing everyone else.
