gobbledonk Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I dont need a visa this trip, but anyone who can get one in Oz should do so : $45 is a bargain compared to the queues in Singapore/Laos etc ... That visa run to Laos sticks in my mind as one of the worst 48 hour stretches of my life - have a permanent knee injury to forever remind me of the stupidity of my ways, but there is literally nothing else to do in Vientiane other than get hammered. Makes Udon Thani and Nongkhai seem like Disneyland and Vegas by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 You should have went to Poipet especially if you like walking around with your hands in your pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 You should have went to Poipet especially if you like walking around with your hands in your pockets I guess it makes a change from walking around BKK with someone else's hands in your pockets :smirk: That reminds me - must pack my 'Walking ATM' t-shirt. Its a bit like walking around with an 'I LOVE BANGKOK !' t-shirt on : you look like a dork, and the sarcasm is completely lost on the locals.

Mekong Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 That reminds me - must pack my 'Walking ATM' t-shirt. When I was working in Houston TX a few years ago a few of the local were ex Aggies and I was given a Texas A & M Uni T-Shirt as a parting gift. I often wear it in Thailand just for a laugh.

tartempion Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Found this old news: Deputy Spokesman of Prime Minister's Office Mr. Puttipong Punnakan (à ¸?à ¸¸à ¸?à ¸?à ¸´à ¸?à ¸?à ¸©à ¹? à ¸?à ¸¸à ¸?à ¸?à ¸Âà ¸±à ¸?à ¸?à ¹?) revealed that a meeting of the Council of Economic Ministers on Wednesday (January 14) consented to slash fees for all kinds of visas for foreigners visiting the country for three months, effective on January 20. Source: National News Bureau of Thailand - 15 January 2009 Today 22 Feb 2009 some consulates said they were aware of the rule, pending execution (needing some signature of someone in the actual government?) Will that bill be signed this year or next year, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 doh those 2 things are totally unrelated dude if one is fed up with the reduced border run visa I say time to pay up & get the elite card i.e. no more border runs. but actually since neighbouring countries are not prime targets for LOS tourism it makes perfect sense! anyway prime tourists don't even stay close to 15days - 2-8days are prolly typical for asians World fun, To the best of my knowledge the elite card has ceased to exist.......?
