GaiYaang Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 According to the DSM-IV, I suffer from ThaiVisa abuse, not yet ThaiVisa Addiction. abuse by internet, sunrise07 time for you to get even. At the moment, I'm addicted to Thaivisa. I found Thaivisa because I was looking for info on my Thai Visa. After I visited Thailand and back to the USA I probably slow down. Sometime I tend to posts stuff off topic, sorry for all the OP's out there, what can I say I'm a newbie. Not abuse yet, I'm safe behind the computer. I alway have good laugh from other posters, alway find some silly comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
