Has anyone done this. As I understand i make a res online and then go in person and it takes couple of days. When i try to make online appointment it wants my Thai ID number which i don't have one so it won't let me make a reservation? How do i get around that as i don't want to just show up at the embassy with no reservation. I hope to apply on a Monday morning and be done with it all by Wednesday afternoon. Do i fill out all the forms at the saigon thai embassy or do that online before i go? US citz and just want a single entry tourist visa. I am in Thailand now on a 60 day tourist visa i got online before....now i want to get another 60 day tourist visa and understand i must leave thailand and get it at an embassy and saigon would work well for me. instructions online not very clear so if anyone can help with questions thanks.

Maybe someone can open a whine bar on bangkok sukhumvit as well as pattaya for all the people who just love to WHINE about any and all who don't meet their high standards. It would obviously do a booming biz with a lot of people on this forum.

I once asked the resident "hello" ladyboy in a bar what she/he did if she got back to room with a big guy that did not know what he had picked up. She said happens a lot as most of them drunk. I said don't u worry that they will beat you up when they figure out what's down below. She/He said oh what she does is tell guy very very bad lady time and cannot go down there but she will give best BJ ever and blow load in mouth ....to which most guys said oh ok.....and most never the wiser as to the fling they just had with a guy...in fact i would bet most of them did a lot of bragging the next day about the best ever BJ....

And how much bigger is the average farang than the average Thai? I guess if you planned to fight an NFL sized guy you also might hope a few of your friends would help you out. Best idea is avoid getting into any fights ever in Thailand (or anywhere else as well). In USA the size advantage is very often overcome by smaller guy pulling out a gun. Fortunately so far at least that seems fairly rare in Thailand though baseball bats and machetes do come into play.

If you see something that looks like a star And it's shooting up out of the ground And your head is spinning from a loud guitar And you just can't escape from the sound Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you We were children once, playing with toys And that thing that you're hearing is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys

Travel Biz: Loved most every day. Traveled the world, fly for free, free hotels, free car rentals, free cruises, free upgrades. Dream merchant as I sold a product that most customers really wanted and enjoyed. $$ so so but got to live like a millionaire thanks to the perks. And then came the airline commission cuts and the internet and party mostly over. It was a good run though.

Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free

No need to be coy, roy.

tm30 needed for 12 day stay?

Just walk away Renee

and don't forget the mosquitoes may extract a pint or two of blood.

The good thing is that there are many choices for booking hotels....but no matter which one you choose if you fail to carefully read the terms and conditions before you hit the button you may well end up with a non refundable room or some other "surprise".... I have personally found agoda to consistently have the best prices particularly in Asia. I never book an Agoda room unless at the bottom it says PAY NOTHING TODAY and carefully read what the payment terms are stated. Never had a problem. Never had a surprise. Up to you.

Something here does not add up. Which hotel?

booking.com owns agoda and they share hotel inventory

I have used agoda for many years and have booked dozens of hotels via them. Never had a hint of a problem and always found their prices and payment/cancellation policies clearly stated and most often cheapest of various sites. I have had friends complain when they DID NOT READ the terms and then got hit with a cancellation fee because they booked a non refundable room.....and then of course they scream they got ripped off.

Like the new myth beer bars that have a horrible band that cranks up at around 9 pm til 2 am or later and is so loud in rattles the windows in nearby condos and hotels keeping people awake night after night? Now they want to extend til 4 am? Just great.

Certainly not defending the tuk tuk a holes but geez get the crap beat out of you over 100 baht fare difference at 6 in the morning? Some of course will say "it's the principle" not to agree to more of a fare...but from the story it appears they did take him where he wanted to go for the agreed 200 baht fare....and then he is at wrong place and wants to go to a different location....did he not negotiate the second leg of the trip or did he think these nice tuk tuk guys would just drive him there for free? If he did not and then they wanted 400 and he offered 300 that means he got beat up over 100 baht? Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Getting into violent arguments with tuk tuk drivers is very very rarely going to end well yet people continue to do it day after day. Especially in phuket that has likely the worst tuk tuk mafia in all Thailand.

merely highlighting the batshxt crazy stuff that gets thrown around by trumpers every day....glad you agree they are not sane.

just what the usa needs...another bat shxt crazy guy full of BS conspiracy theories...i suspect he might appeal more to the right wing conspiracy theory bunch who likely think JFK and Elvis are living at mar a lago with the dear leader.

Go for a walk in soi bukhao area and you will find several hotels offering monthly rates assuming you are not arriving mid december peak season.

Clear facts like she is a Chicago native mean nothing to Trumpers when it comes to anyone not named Trump. The wildest craziest made up BS is what they thrive on in their little fantasy world where dear leader is perfect and piles of evidence a mile high mean nothing.

If Michelle Obama ran for POTUS she would win. Republicans would of course try to claim she was born in Africa or was a lady boy......same ole conspiracy theory crap that brain dead people believe.

Everyone has a different definition of comfortable life but for most 60 k baht a month is plenty to rent a pleasant condo in a big relatively new complex, eat three good meals a day unless you insist on all farang imported type foods, have a few beers a night and cover all the basics like phone baht buses occasional basic massages etc.....the big issue for OP is likely health insurance and visa and how he wants to deal with that. Not being a part of P4P will save you a LOT of $$ and contrary to what a lot seem to think not every guy necessarily wants or needs that for a variety of reasons.

When i was there: 1. i did not see any/many gals that i would be interested in bar fining and 2. even if i did i would have had to have a shouting conversation to determine prices etc.

On opening night it seemed every bar had a stereo system turned up to the max playing different songs with the result being it was so damn loud that having any kind of conversation without yelling was impossible. Beer was 90 baht...music so loud waitress had her fingers in her ears and we literally had to shout our orders to her. Now they have a live band that starts up about 9 or so every night and goes til 2 to 4 am. It is so damn loud that it disrupts lots of hotels and condos in the area not to mention if you were actually there. The Golden Beach hotel has half it's rooms right next door and my guess is every morning any guests in those rooms are at front desk demanding to change room or check out as it would be impossible to sleep there with the band blasting full volume so close by. Whoever owns that hotel cannot be very happy with the blasting music. I frankly could not get out of there fast enough after one beer and until/unless they tone down the volume i don't know why anyone would want to go there...even if u liked a gal which was not a great selection that i could see how the heck you could even talk with her is not easy. Much better bars, girls, prices etc very near by at tree town soi LK buahkaow etc and even though some have loud music it is not nearly as obnoxious as the MYTH bunch and it does not take much looking to find beers at 65 baht or so at many bars where u can actually have a normal conversation . I suspect that tourists will stumble in from second road and maybe they enjoy it...but as for local ex pats i really don't know why anyone would set foot in the place. Also pretty dumb not to just open up foot traffic all the way through to tree town but it is hit and miss at best so far with a gate that is sometimes open sometimes locked.
