Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

One thing that isn't so good or efficient about renewing Thai passports is when it is for "children" which the government stipulates is up until the age of 20. BOTH parents have to be physically present at the passport office to renew even though they are considered as adults in the rest o...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

That's pretty much how we roll; everything fits in the back of the truck. Total setup time is about half an hour, so doable even for an overnighter. The main advantage of a van would be that you could also camp/travel in the hot season and wet season which isn't so pleasant when in a tent!

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

Are Camper Vans/Campers available for hire in Thailand - would it be safe to? If so, would they just be aimed at the Hi-So's at extortionate prices?
