Bangkok Stop Over
If you are on a Uk passport you don't need a transit visa, not sure what that is about. I have had a journey break like this many times, just collect your bags, go off to a hotel and then re check in the next day. When you check-in tell them that you will be collecting your bags. The only thing you have to check is if your ticket does not include the 700 baht departure tax you will need to pay that prior to check in. I have stayed at the Dusit Srinakarin several times and there is plenty to do around there, but you could equally take the ARL into the city and grab a hotel there. -

If Trump is re-elected what does it say about the I.Q of the average American?
Good question. In principle, I support that people follow the laws. To be truthful, I know a couple of people who I think cheat when they apply or renew their visa. Some of those are nice people who I don't mind in Thailand. I think foreign criminals should be deported, or better never let in. In any country. -

Shows Americans like a winner. Harris has lost the election. Why pick a loser?? -

Samui Tourist Police Arrest Lao Woman Working Illegally in Massage Shop, Posing as a Thai
Good to see senior officers showing their subordinates how to track down and catch these hardened criminals who brazenly flout the law and cause untold misery and suffering through their heinous acts [That's enough, Ed.] -

Kamala Harris Defends Policy Stance in Heated Fox News Interview
You mean he should have let her go on and on indefinitely without answering the question? Did the mean man hurt poor the poor little woman? She was treated much better than anyone on the left ever treated Trump. -

I met Mr Independent
[quote] ... People who try to face every obstacle by themselves get worn down, and eventually it can lead to depression or worse ... [/quote] IMHO, that entirely depends upon the individual. I have always faced my obstacles alone, and either overcome them or found an alternative solution. I absolutely do not like to rely on others because - from previous experience - I have been let down by those who claim to be supportive. Better to do it myself! -

Man Brutally Killed After Being Run Off the Road in Nakhon Si Thammarat
very misleading story.. deep wounds in face and neck could have happened if the driver was not wearing helmet. how do they know he was driven off the road? How do they know the pickup caused the crash or violently killed the man. How do they know the conversation was not about getting help? -

iCon Fraud Unveiled: Lessons in Greed and Hard Truths
This story is as old as humanity itself. (And so, not typically Thai!) From Adam and Eve to the medieval alchemists who promised to turn lead into gold to the gigantic Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff, the promise of a free lunch is forever beguiling..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madoff_investment_scandal -

Human Traffickers Cram Migrant Workers into Van: 2 Dead, 8 in Critical Condition
It's big business, the going "rate" for a Philippine worker's paperwork - to be legal - comes at a "handling fee" of 70,000 Baht. They are more expensive to the rest, i.e. Khmer or Laotians; the cheapest are the Burmese (20,000 Baht) as they flee from their homeland due to a raging civil war. If this government would facilitate foreign workers taking up legal employment in Thailand, all this would have never happened. Thailand is sooooo short on labour on all educational levels and if they want to get their tourism going, then they will have to get those alien in to work at restaurants, hotels and guest houses. -

Tell me why Pattaya to BKK by his
Ah, fondly remember my first trip in 2009. I would just observe that it is a learning experience so I would think they thought that was the best way of doing things simply by not knowing the alternatives. I was quite lucky, found a driver with car near the hotel I was staying … reasonable cost and I was still working so I hired him to both take me around some in Bangkok and drive me to Pattaya. I have now been here 13+ years and am much more able to wheel and deal than during that first trip.
