Bucksi The EU will be granted just that... to observe. Buksida, I've searched high and low for the fair comments you referred to in tigger's original posting, and I can't find 'em.

You go on a visa run to change from your current Type O to a Type B I know this is hypothetical, but I also don't know how widely known it is that a visa run might not be necessary. I recently went back on to a work permit after 9 months or so of tourist visas, but to my surprise I didn't have to g...

Re: University

One of the saddest things I see in Thailand is the unrelenting demand for conformity. While they might have a place in certain professions such as armed forces, police and car-park attendants expecting a university student to be uniformed merely shackles the brain and stifles the intellect. I have ...

To Butterworth it takes about 19-20 hours, leaving 6-7ish pm and arriving the following afternoon. Somewhere around 1100 baht each way if memory serves me right. Book in advance.

There is a pack-dog mentality and that is probably what happened with this incident. Two packs of drunken Thai dogs and I am sure ...

You're more likely to be nipped off, surely? :thumb:

Not a chance, his English is far too good, and he knows something about Britsh history.

Tigger, if you're a Brit, and you didn't vote in the UK, you can hardly complain about those who were elected. And where did you vote, BTW?
