    • Anonymous commented : good grounds. I think you can arrive here and propably get 30 day visa on arrival. Then you can after that 30 days make a trip to Laos or Cambodia to make a tourist visa for 60 days. If you need to stay longer period you can try to get 1 year non-immigrant visa it requires a deposit of about 800.000 baht for 3 months in a thai bank. You can always ask from immigration officials. i have found the best service to be in tourist areas like Pattaya or Bangkok. The worst service was in Kanchanaburi and Nong Khai. To marry you have to show paper that you are not married in your home country and propably translate it into thai by local notary. The are lots of agencies helping to do that, try to pick those ones which actually hire members of thai lawyers association since in Thailand anyone can appear as a lawyer. As a foreigner you will face some legal procedures, but believe me, normally you get through the legal hurdles quite easily - when you have money to pay for the services. Doing things legally in Thailand always takes 3times more but its worth it. Keep your money on your bank account, your flat under your name and so on. First some might say that its impossible but its not. Take care. Best of luck. Sam

    • Anonymous commented : n being supported Before they arrive in America on visa. He had wanted a fiancee visa, but was told by the sister and husband that this was impossible because of her age---26---and because her job as a family nanny---previously she worked in a karoke bar and was supposedly going to accounting school...for the year when she and my son corresponded. My son thought, and still occasionally thinks that maybe, there is a translation problem...as now all she talks about is money and his obligations...and that he is selfish for only sending her 2-250 bahts a month...he was saving for wedding, visas, fixing up his house for her, etc. He told them he wasn't a rich farang, just a 20ish architectural draftsman, starting his own business. This whole situation is making him sick---first believing she loves him, then believing she has someone new lined up. Any clues? It was when she started withdrawing money from a bank in Bangkok while claiming she was in Khon Kaen that he demanded answers...she claims the bank is crazy...though they've checked twice, and she claims it was from a Bangkok St in Khon Khan...but when he asked her to withdraw from that account again, she refused. Any hope? His sister who once travelled alone to Thailand recently, had all her money stolen by a man she thought was a Thai friend the first day in the country; then had a marijuana leave planted in her backpack on a train, when she left it to go to the bathroom which a Thai lady warned her about, so she was able to extricate it---and sure enough 15 mintues later a couple police came through asking to check inside luggage. This is a long letter, sorry, but we have no one to turn to. So far no one here knows any Thai law...at the law school...

    • Sean Moran commented : o and behold if a cop doesn't arrive just before we got in the cab and booked the poor bloke 400 baht for parking in a bus stop. This was his reward for stopping to accepting a 50 baht fare within walking distance. I noticed that his face didn't match the ID photo in the cab, and assumed he was just filling in on the weekend for a friend of his to try to make some extra cash, or something like that? What a rotten weekend he had to live through because stupid me didn't know the right place to stand on the side of the road to hail a taxi. I paid the poor fellow 200 baht for the 50 baht fare. haa-sip/haa-sip, song-roi/song-roi.

    Airport Link opens

    By david, Created on: 16/08/2010, Last updated on: 12/01/2016

    » The new airport rail link opens August 23 and Only three problems impede its linkup with the skytrain and the underground? Once these issues are sorted out, however, the benefits for Bangkok's tourism industry will be phenomenal? The airport link will be good for single travelers, but for 2 or more...

    • bobbyd commented : vbs] of international flights arrive between midnight and 3am. As noted, Airport link closes at midnight and opens at 6am. [b:2hjbzvbs]Updates[/b:2hjbzvbs] Also read, Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways International began operating check-in counters at the Makkasan downtown station on Monday. Fares have risen: the Express Line fare will rise from 100 to 150 baht, while fares on the City Line are no longer offered at the flat 15-baht rate, but at a new progressive rate of 15-45 baht. THAI's check-in services operate from 8am to 9pm. Passengers could check in and have their baggage loaded between three and 12 hours before their flights. The service is expected to appeal more to foreign backpackers. Supposedly, a footbridge would be built to link Makkasan station and the MRT subway Phetchaburi station by May. Wanna wager on the date? Ratchaprarop, Hua Mak and Phaya Skytrain stations on the Airport Rail Link will be equipped with escalators by the middle of the year. This year? While I still like the airports trains I see comments such as this: he seats in the City line are too short! It is faster using a taxi from airport and using express ways than taking a taxi at Makasan which is surrounded by the most notorious traffic jams in Bangkok. 2 people up, its cheaper and FASTER to use a taxi as you need to take a taxi again anyway ones you arrive in the city by train!

    • Nelly commented : e lower floor where the train arrives the elevators quickly filled up, leaving a large group jostling in front of the doors to be sure of a place on the next trip. So I took the escalators... great idea. These long escalators slowly take you to the next floor, where you then have to double-back on yourself to the start of the next escalator and so on up 4 floors. Of course, this is Thailand and people stand all over the escalators (keep to the right!!!) or have a trolley, making it impossible to speed this up. This tactic of slowing your exit down works ok in Paragon, but is frustrating in an airport - so if you are in a hurry, also factor an additional 5 minutes to get from the lower floor to departures!! On arriving back in Bangkok, now with wife and more baggage, the thought of going on the train, then BTS and then taxi v just getting in a taxi was too much. Sad, but I don't think I'll ever use it on arrival.
