Re: New immigration form (TM6) goes into effect in October
Note: Go ahead and lose one sometime and see the BS you have to go through to replace it. You would think you've lost a Top Secret nuclear weapon security clearance card. A couple of months ago I realised I had lost my TM card while standing in the immigration queue at Don Meuang waiting to get sta...

Re: The History of Southeast Asia
The scene in A Now where they eat with the French family was edited out of the original version. Later they released a 'Directors cut,about 20+min longer with that scene in. It really improved the movie, gave it some perspective. Could you please expand on what you're saying please. I was baffled, ...

Re: The History of Southeast Asia

Re: New Hua Hin Immigration office at Bluport
Just popped in and literally no customers. 5 staff, all very friendly. They do 90 day reporting, but don't do the yearly renewal. Good coffee outside, but I can never see having to wait that long to have enough time to get one. Can see HH immigration being the envy of the rest of Thailand ! Give it...

Re: Hua Hin resort to rebrand as Mövenpick
I have fond memories of Møvenpick from the years I lived in Switzerland in my youth, the location of its new establishment suits me - with family we usually stay in Dusit Thani, Møvenpick sounds like an atractive alternative. I will try it out

Re: Why do so many Thais look down on tourist / foreigners?
You ask--Is there some kind of racism going on? Of course there is. It is part of Thainess. In all fairness this is not justa Thai thing but an Asian thing--they feel no shame at having and expressing racist/xenophibic attitides-- In Japan, Korea and China it is much the same. I very good point and...

Re: Where did you meet your girlfriend or wife?
I met my Thai at our boxing gym. We both fight Muay Thai. We were together almost a year and everything was great.. before he cheated on me with some cute, young and naiive thai girl. Most Thai men are not good and do women dirty. I've been with a couple and befriended many and, for the most part, ...
