Outside the Terminal building there are Vans that will take you to your hotel for $2-3.

Do you think the vans would have room for bicycle boxes (2) or am I dreaming?

Hmmm. Not sure really to be honest. They are Mini buses and dont leave the airport until full (or almost full depending on drivers whim).

Maybe could put on roof but wouldnt like to guarantee it.

Maybe a bit of negotiation will be in order for the bikes to take the space of passengers.

Good luck and a have a great trip

There are a lot of Fabric shops around Thanon Chakraphet and Thanon Chakrawat which form part of the Indian district.

Not sure you will find what you are after but I have seen many places with lots of colorful fabrics etc.

Hope that helps.

And what about formaggio marcio Italian cheese that is matured and eaten with live maggots?

For the animal perspective maybe try the Snake farm. It is part of the Red Cross and is a research facility that produces anti venom.

They have shows in the morning and afternoon (11am and 2pm I think). If you are brave enough you can handle a fairly large python.

Located about 5 minute walk from Saladaeng skytrain station or Samyan metro station.

The 90 day in a 6 month period rule applies to entries made on Visa exempt, ie the 30 day stamps.

There seems to be no limit to the amount of tourist visas. The Thai consulate in Vientiene, Laos, is probably your best bet for a double entry tourist visa. Good for approx 6 months in the Kingdom

There was a car on fire on the bridge Wednesday A.M.

The burnt out shell was still on the bridge about 2 PM when I crossed it.

Needless to say the traffic coming into BKK was pretty bad. No change there then

The Sinclair ZX81 was my first. I remember having to almost punch the keys for it to work. Truly terrible but wonderful to the 10 year old I once was.

I have had no problems with immigration when applying for the 30 day extension on my tourist visas. Have been here 1 year on tourist visas and always quote my rented apartment address on immigration/application forms when asked for 'address in Thailand'.

He is in my opinion "something special"....to beat cancer then to achieve what he has achieved is quite remarkable .

I agree. He was a very good rider (world champion and TDF stage winner) before cancer. I believe after his illness he had a much higher pain threshold.

Can probably connect PC to TV via S-Video cable ???

Both entries must be used BEFORE the 'enter before' date printed on the Visa.

No longer valid.

Loads of MP3s here

The Thai Alphabet song. Scroll down the page and there is link to download. Not downloaded myself so cant say how good it is????

I remember reading somewhere that bacteria breeds easier on the pre-cut watermelon, as opposed to the other fruits, you can buy from the carts etc.

Tourist Visas are valid from date of issue so its best to obtain visa close to departure date.

It seems it depends on the consulate as to how long the validity is for. Could be 90 days or longer. Best to check with your consulate.

To activate 2nd entry you must leave the Kingdom and then re-enter. You must activate 2nd entry before the 'Use before' date printed on Visa.

Bribery Is Better (than a ticket)

There are several Thai temples in the UK. Maybe if one is local to you it would be worth a visit or contact.

Good luck

From my window...

To the Right. Another box style apartment building with laundry hanging on balconies. No bras though. Just the usual assortment of day-glo coloured tshirts.

To the left. A few trees and a big villa style house then a brand new (non functioning) skytrain station.

On the street I can see a couple of sleeping soi dogs.

If you are a total nerd, you can assign points to the gold, silver, bronze and determine the real "winner" by points.

OK, To satisfy the nerds amongst us I have assigned points using the system quoted by a previous poster.

3 for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for bronze.

At close of play 22 August the standings are as follows.

China: Gold 47 = 141 points, Silver 17 = 34 points, Bronze 25 = 25 points. Total points = 200

U.S.A: Gold 31 = 93 points, Silver 36 = 72 points, Bronze 35 = 35 points. Total points = 200

I think it might be an 'Adenium' or Desert rose.

Just did a little research and it seems there are lots of varieties. The sap of some are used to make poison arrows!!!

I am coming to Thailand from the Uk on a Uk passport next Wednesday. i have no time fto get a visa. So i will be travelling on a Tourist 30 Day Stamp.

Have I understood correctly that:

1. If I cross a border with a neighbouring country and return on a "visa run" , I can stay for a further 30 days with no problem?

2. I can do this a maximum of twice, making a total of 90 days.

If so, how long do I then have to stay out of Thailand before I can come in again?

Many thanks.

I did read loads of threwads but it still seems confusing.

1. YES

2. The rule is 90 days in a 6 month period. No limit on amount of stamps/entries.

Just have to cross the border then you can come straight back in.

You do not mention if you have return flight or proof of onward travel within the first 30 days. If you do not you will probably have problems boarding the flight from UK.

I found what i think might be the program in question at:

http://thebox.bz/main.php

just did a search on thebox. Is it the Louis Theroux program???

Yes. I'm presuming that's the one

Just re-read the OP and it says that its a Drama/horror. Cant imagine the Louis Theroux show falls into that category.

Gonna download anyway. Also a couple of other shows on thebox that look quite interesting. One about child Muay Thai fighters.

OP, can you give us the full title of the DVD you have.

Cheers

EDIT: Just found what I think the Op is referring to.
