Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Day 1 I started my trip again with a train to Guangzhou. I had a working day on Thursday until 15.00 and my train for Guangzhou left at 18.10 from Zhuhai. That was enough time for me to go through the customs at Hengqin and then take a bus to Zhuhai station. One hours train trip and I was in Guangzh...

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

Do you ever feel like you're the only one interested in this topic?
Maybe there's not many of us but I am still interested, even though I left Thailand 16 years ago.

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

Well, honestly, I can't see why it would only affect one particular group. Would the female or male sex workers not be affected? But as your post is only a screenshot, it's not possible to tell what the whole story is.

Re: The Beer Thread 2

Just bought 0,5 l Harbin beer in a Guangzhou supermarket for less than 18 Baht. Not a bad taste either.

Football Fantasy challenge

A new type of fantasy game is just starting up. I'm not creating a league at the moment because I want to see how it works. The rules are different, f.ex. unlimited money and I think transfers as well, five players from one team, change team every week. If you want to try it out, open your fantasy f...

Re: Thailand News Summary

I used to work as a tour guide for close to 10 years in Thailand. The local company and the Finnish company I worked for had an agreement that there was always a Thai guide with me. It was according to the rules in those days, late 90's-early 00's. I was asked a couple of times, bridge over the Kwai...

Re: Macau

I asked a colleague who was born here (Portuguese) and she said that the rainy season in May/June sees a lot of constant rain, which is different from Thailand. Or at least in the parts of Thailand I have lived. So it's not just heavy showers.

Re: Long weekend escape Thailand getaway ideas

Visa-free travel is for Thais, not gweilos! They're much stricter with US and UK passport holders.
But aren't you included in that group that gets 144 hours visa-free in certain cities (mentioned in the story).

When I went to Zhuhai for the first time, with an visa-on-arrival, they did all the fingerprints and photos on the border.
