Great idea, sometmes "normal people's" photos are better than the professional ones, and would create a lot of interest I think, especially for anyone who hasn't been to Hua Hin or Thailand before.

Sarge, I wouldn't bank on getting a doctor over here (UK) It depends where you live/arrive; I came back from Thailand after living there for 7 months a couple of years ago and went to stay at my mums.

No problem Big Boy, glad to be of help. I'm wondering now if the new rules are the first step towards foreigners HAVING to pass a test/exam otherwise they can't extend their stay here in the future........a bit like the visa rule changes in LOS. There's an on-line petition to No 10 against the new c...
