Old Hippie Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Do Thais still require a passport to go to Pehnom Pehn? Or how far into the country can they go with just their I.D. card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 6 years ago going into Siem Reap on holiday with me my wife needed a passport if I am not mistaken. Paid visa on arrival I think. Someone should have the recent info on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Coals to newcastle? Meaning To do something pointless and superfluous. Origin Newcastle on Tyne in England was a well known coal mining area and the UK's first coal exporting port. Taking coal there was an archetypally pointless activity. Other countries have similar phrases; in German it's 'taking owls to Athens' (the inhabitants of Athens already having sufficient wisdom). 'Selling snow to Eskimos', which in many people's understanding is also the same, has a different connotation. That refers to something which is difficult to achieve - requiring of superb sales skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
