Finding a Thai girl who doesn't just lay back and think of Thailand is the goal.

A joke to break the monotony.

President Bush, General Pervez Musharraf and Bin Laden met up for dinner one day and got talking about their favourite movie Star Trek.

Bin Laden says: One thing about Star Trek, it has whites and blacks and the odd Japanese but it doesn't have any Arabs.

General Pervez Musharraf adds: And it doesn't have any Muslims either.

George Bush points out: It's because it takes place in the future.

There was a headline in the Bangkok Post previously about Thai people's debt spiralling out of control. Everything they ever buy is on finance. Of course, there is, as the previous poster mentioned, always the case of farangs and their money being easily parted.

My wife got a 6 month schengen visa in the Spanish Embassy she used it for a weekend in Paris before the Spanish holiday and used it again in Greece before it expired. I don't know about Finland's rules but shouldn't all the states be the same?

Perhaps the rules are different for single female Thais travelling alone.

Try another embassy Spain/France they might be a bit more generous.

As you are probably aware you can use the visa in any of the schengen states.

And about £300 (Thai equivalent) for a residence visa or £50 for a tourist visa but you will almost certainly only get 3-6 months for that.

The amount of water they waste here in Pattaya at Songkran would fulfill the rest of the country's needs until the rainy season.

I had the same problem with my PS One. If you have a TV with the three phono plugs you can get a triple phono lead to connect to your PS lead. I did and it works perfectly.
