What about if there was a male version that (how shall we put this politely) didn't come in thirty seconds? Oh sorry it's called a <deleted>.

What a night that was!

Also, there are extensive extensive links saying alcoholics first drank beer and cider so we should ban them as well. (apologies I am not the first to point this out - what I have to read all the previous stuff?)

There used to be an exit fee (paid in cash and you had to use a special machine) that had to be attached to EVERY boarding-pass (Thai/non-Thai) before you could leave the country. The logic (?) being tourists can afford it and Thais who fly abroad can also.

And I was pointing out that it it isn't a theory it happens in practise as well. Your snippy comments were unnecessary

If it was irrelevant why did you remark on it? As the OP stated/asked: I remember someone posting last year that 2 entries per calendar year applied to airport entries. Is it really only for land crossings? Which I attempted to answer - so why the beef on your part?

If it's well known why did somebody ask it? Is there some point to this? What exactly ARE you contradicting what I posted?

My point was there is no fixed limit (as appears to be for land crossing) on number of visa exempt entries by air - which somebody asked.

Before the pandemic I was coming to Thailand monthly (direct to CNX from SIN) and staying a week. Did that half a dozen times on the trot. Never had a problem.

Wow! Good advice. That's an important safety note I might have missed ???? P.S. the great thing about cycling is when drunk you lose your sense of balance and you CAN'T cycle - built-in safety feature eh? ????

Sad.

On the balcony of your hotel room. Don't have a balcony? Get a better room (or hotel) then. Safety note: keep away from the balcony edge! Hope this helps. Historical note: Baden-Powell slept on his balcony winter and summer his entire life.

We need the money.

I was asleep but it was DEFINTELY after 9 pm and more like 10 or 11. The cheek was, I pointed out when settling my bill they had forgotten the airport taxi fare, but was ignored - and then when it was discovered the receptionist wanted to come up to my room IMMEDIATELY to settle the bill. I had strong words the next day. Hotel was by the beach and starts with an "H".

Seriously? Went to Hua Hin and Chiang Mai, popped into a couple of cannabiis shops. Bought some, smoked some. NOWHERE did I see stoned tourists wandering about clueless. Next year I will have been smoking this stuff for fifty years. No problem with my memory. No problem with my... oops Let's face it, it was ALWAYS here and you could ALWAYS buy some. My first contact was my wifes friend who was married to a police corporal - so no worries there. She delivered a Thai stick that knocked me out for (a timeless time) maybe an hour or two, Too strong. Now I can peruse the shops, roll a medium strength joint or two, Life is good.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Star Visa sounded interesting but I leave CM tomorrow night (as always we left it too late).

We tried our bank - nope, not a bank document. Then tried my dentist who threw up her hands in horror. Tomorrow we will try CM Ram - maybe get lucky there. Anybody got any better ideas?

Checked out of the hotel the night before so no queue and waiting. Pointed out to the receptionist that they missed our taxi frare from/to the airport.. Ignored. Went to bed, went tt to sleep, receptionist phoned me up (waking me) saying they had made a mistake and could I sort it out NOW? Nope. Went back to sleep. Complained the next morning. Did I over-react?

Quite right. Sixty is the new forty.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it

OK so I know it's dangerous so thanks but I don't need reminding of that. Has anyone actually USED a bike radar in Thailand?

Title says it all I think. The carnage on the roads is frigthening - drunk/yaba drivers killing indiscriminately, no end in sight - no effective policing. Horrific stories like the woman drunk five o'clock in the morning in Chiang Mai who ran over a group of cyclcists and got off with a wai basically. So, I've got a mirror on my bike, I figure on getting a radar fitted to it so I have a chance to get out of the way. Anyone used this and have they even been used "in anger" so to speak?

It's true - he's back!

I read somewhere that one cup of coffee a day reduces your chance of cirrhosis of the liver by 25%. I drink four cups a day so I have reduced my chances by 100%.
