I do not know anything about computers. My connection has been running at 31,200 most times. Accessable, but not quick. Had TOT around to the house a few days ago. They checked the line on the main road and connected with their laptop to my phone line, that showed 52,000. Is this a modem problem? Th...

Again, thanks for the info. As usual, it's all pretty confusing in thailand. a friend of mine got a non "O" last month in Penang. His previous one had been issued in the UK. When he met a visa agent down there, he was told that he might have trouble getting it as Penang had no history of h...

Thanks for the info. My visa expires Sept 22. Got to leave by Aug 12, so will get my final 90 days then. Will look at the web site. Didn't know the financial requirements were changing. Will look out for that. Asking around town, the general consensus is that you need 800,000 B in a Thai bank, or in...

non immigrant visas

Does anyone out there have any UP-TO-DATE, RELIABLE info on obtaining Non O visa from Penang or Vientianne and the current requirements? I got mine last year in the UK. It expires on Sept 22.

I got a taxi a few years ago from Sukhumvit to HH. Agreed 1,700. The driver left the meter on and interestingly it read 1,160 when we arrived. Didn't argue about the fare. After all, it was midnight and the driver had to return to Bangkok, probably without a customer.

Very volatile relationship and she's disappeared again. not seen her for 3 weeks. some call me lucky. She'll return when she feels like it. No intentions of moving away. L...

horrible visa runs

this message is in a thread elsewhere. got it wrong first time. great places to do a visa run :- 1/. Phnom Penh. Dosn't seem that the cambodians are too happy with the thais at the moment. this i would assume applies to any farang entering overland from the land of smiles. 2/. Victoria Point. Amnest...

disasterous visa runs

Under current situations, I guess my monthly visa run will NOT be to :- 1/. Phnom Penh. Dosn't seem they're too happy with the Thais at the moment and i guess any farang who comes overland from there also. 2/. Victoria Point. Reluctantly, the Burmese junta have allowed amnesty international into the...
