Re: Why Do Expats Remain - Why Do They Come Back?

Considering the amount of times you've told us that, I think I'll take notice and head back to Hua Hin again next week! Apologies, but it's a case of sad but true at the moment.

Re: Thaksin touts golden visa

Wealthy people, it seems to me, have so many other, more stable destinations, without constant reversals in visa policy and an increasingly venal attitude toward foreigners. But Thailand, with its ego, thinks it's the center of the world.

Re: Exchanging USD for THB

The best rate I found so far is at "Twelve Victory" situated at Market Village Hua Hin.
There's one in the basement, as you're at the front of MV just down the stairs or another one on the third floor

I've never really understood this idea of having holidays that you're not allowed to enjoy.

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

Update on yearly visa renewal in Cha Am. Last year I was told to bring 12 months bank statement. The Bangkok Bank would only give me 6 months or need to wait 7 days. I took the 6 months statement and hoped for the best. Went to immigration, after 1 hour 40 minutes I got my yearly extension. What wa...

Re: Thailand Floods Thread

I live in Nongkhai now and the weather forecast gives high alert for floods. However we've had very little rain comparatively. Some short but heavy showers some nights but nothing in daytime. I moved here in September last year and never saw rain at all for several months. More recently, when BKK a...
