Dec 03, 2008 - 8:58 PM - by dirtydog |
There are rumours going round that all entries on land borders to Thailand if you don't have a visa and are going for your normal 30 visa exempt stamp they are now only giving 15 days, as far as all the visa run companies in Pattaya go this is not true and they have heard nothing at all about it, a friend went on Monday and got his normal 30 day stamp, they also labelled it as his second one in the 180 day period as is per normal.
I have just spoken to another one of the companies this evening that do daily runs to Cambodia and they haven't heard of this either.

A famous stretch of Boyztown in South Pattaya was closed off on the evening of the 2nd December to make way for the spectacular Pattaya Gay Festival Street Party 2008.
By late evening the entire street was heaving with people enjoying the lavish entertainment and competitions all put on in great style by local bars, restaurants and hotels in the Pattayaland zone. The whole affair is part of a 4 day PGF charity appeal to raise funds to help the Heartt 2000 AIDS... [Read More] | |

Dec 03, 2008 - 11:57 AM - by Nawty |
Anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to build stone houses ??
Natural riverstone, not the cut flat one sided ones where you whack them on the outside like a tile.
Only for the exterior, dont want stone on the interior for gathering dust and varmits.
I would presume concrete structure and bricks of whichever type chosen for the walls and then just use the stones on the exterior cemented to the wall.

Dec 03, 2008 - 3:41 AM - by EmperorTud |
Since Bangkok Airport was closed from Tuesday evening, my flight to Phnom Penh being one of the last ones that flew out, I found myself stuck in Cambodia on Wednesday and needing to get back to Bangkok by Friday latest. I wasn't going to sit about in Cambo until they got things back to normal so I ended up taking a speedboat ferry to Siem Reap, private taxi to the border and then after crossing back into Thailand at Poipet, I took a bus to Bangkok. A 17 hour journey and a bit of a nightmare but hey ho.
Whilst in Phnom Penh I had a sniff around in the famous Sharky's. It's one of the busiest bars in Phnom Penh.

Dec 03, 2008 - 12:21 AM - by pescator |
It even has a nice pool and few places beat their rates.
It is situated in Bangpli, Samut Prakan. 15 minute cab ride.
Make sure to print out the thai map on their homepage, before going, as few drivers are familiar with this general area let alone the place Sananwan Palace. Or arrange a pickup with the hotel.
You can easily kill a day or two in this general area by visiting the Erawan Museum, Muang Boran aka Ancient City and the Crocodile Farm.
There is a very nice restaurant on the river bank within walking distance from the Sananwan Palace, Moo Yim, the smiling Pig. Try out their Moo Kata, all you can eat 80 Baht. If you travel without your wife, make sure... [Read More] | |

The pictures below are from a period covering more than a decade, so the quality will be somewhat lacking due to the non digital equipment. I hope for your understanding.

Dec 02, 2008 - 9:45 PM - by Jesus Jones |
What do you think about one of the most dangerous chemicals in water, and not just water now as i have read reports about it being introduced in baby food.
From my understand, the only reason why it is in the water is because they have no other way of disposing of it.

Dec 02, 2008 - 3:39 PM - by Alison |
I've looked but I couldn't see anything else that relates to my problem here.
I have worked as a designer for a Thai company since 2001. With rising economic concerns I thought I would finally be prudent and join the company provident scheme. When I requested it in September I got an email back from the fund administrator saying that I could not join as I was temporary staff. In reply I sent them a scan of my probation completion letter and offer of permanent employment that the previous MD gave me in 2002. They said it was a mistake and I was only a temporary employee because I sign a new contract every year. Yes, I did this every year because I was told it was only... [Read More] | |

Dec 02, 2008 - 10:44 AM - by DrB0b |
The Panthamit Yellowshirts, thanks to their backers in the media, their 24 hour a day TV Channel and their highly public actions, are well known to all of us. It seems that not so much is known about their redshirt opponents, this thread is an attempt to fill in some of the gaps. The policies, politics and tactics of Panthamit have been covered in detail in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet but little has been said about what their opponents want - this is of course mainly because the Thai media, apart from NBTV, some radio stations and one or two newspapers, actively support Panthamit and have no interest in presenting the Redshirts case other than for propaganda purposes.
