Yes I've tried it and thoroughly recommend it. Thought I'm not a burger connoisseur. I did already mention it earlier in the thread :)

Re: Getting a credit card from a Thai bank

I have an SCB (the purple and yellow bank) Debit Card which I use for ATM withdrawal, but I can't use it for online shopping as my name does not appear on the card... My name doesn't appear on my Krungsri card, but it still is perfectly fine for online shopping. I just put my actual name in where i...

Re: Place for a really good burger

31 Burger and Binta Burger are both very good.
I also highly recommend Bonfire Burger at Seen Space in 19 Rai - some very interesting choices there.

Re: Can't do this in US

I've had special orders done correctly, and special orders messed up in Burger Kind and McDonalds stores in both England and Thailand alike.

I'm not sure something being done as asked, on a single occasion, really warrants much of a celebration.

Re: Big potential changes to tourist visas and visa exempt stamps

That's why I said fixed restriction... Should have said "official", including the quotes. I'm sure they'll still be on the lookout for people who might be "abusing" the tourist visa/visa exempt rules.

But haven't you just told us the rules are changing? https://www.huahinforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37416 I've just re-read it, and now see the words 'potential' and 'theoretically unlimited'. LOL, I must have seen what I wanted to see the first time I read it. Not to mention the fact that the...

Re: Big potential changes to tourist visas and visa exempt stamps

Not only that, they are favouring low spending tourists who take bus journeys across borders over high spenders who journey by air. Not really... there's, as far as I know, currently no fixed restriction in place for the amount of exempt stamps you can have in a 12-month period when you come in by ...

Big potential changes to tourist visas and visa exempt stamps

According to the article here there are big changes planned for tourist visas. What I understand from the information in the article, coupled together with my knowledge of the current system and a little bit of guesswork The current 3-month* single entry tourist visa which entitles you to a 60 day s...

He referred to a situation that happened one evening. There's a possibility, however, he'd like a solution that works during the day time as well?

Re: Extending 30 day visa exempt stamp

A lot of it depends on how much longer you want to stay. If you just want another 30 days then you can go out the country to anywhere you like then comeback in and get another 30-day stamp (there's a limit to how often you can do this so only do it if you're sure that 30 days is all you need). If yo...

Re: Prachuap's 10 million baht bicycle lane ends up as roadside parking

The one to Pranburi is excellent and I know quite a few that use it. Unfortunately, Thais being blind to any signage, it's used by m/cycles and even the odd 4 wheel transport. Unfortunately there are many sections of that "bike" lane that are signed to specifically allow motorcycles to us...

Re: Foreigners need business visas to attend meetings in Thailand

The same applies in many countries that a visa is required for work, even attending meetings or inspections so people enter on tourist visa on arrival to bypass the system. But the visa exemption stamp is not the same as a visa-on-arrival, tourist or otherwise. It's a wavier of the requirement to p...
