    • Anonymous commented : cause now they have to be 100 percent sure shes your girl. you see i know of one occation when three thai girls aquired a work permit visa for a THAI RESTARUANT IN THE UK. when the train stopped at leeds station the escort who was waiting for them was shocked to see them run in every direction away from him. this is just one case there are hundreds daily from every country in the world. so they make sure that it is genuine and that the girl has a garuntor for her well bieng. finally i do not believe for one minute the embassy in bangkok or anywhere in the world for that matter is corrupt, they are protecting you and your bride regards mike norfolk

    The Value of a Tourist.

    By Sean Moran, Created on: 18/01/2009, Last updated on: 15/12/2010

    » What are some of the most common positive and negative results of foreign tourists from overseas visiting Thailand? Thai opinions welcome, kap.

    • james commented : tourist destination. A large percent of them are drunks, lowlifes and criminals on the run that Thailand allows to wander in on few if any checks. These types are screened when ever they try to enter the U.S. or Canada and often sent packing back onto the plane. Since Thailand is so concerned with money first it,s an open door to these types. But giving these guys a little slack there are many so called high quality tourists with families that certainly act like lowlifes with their rude behavior towards the thais as nothing more than a peg above slave. I am embarrassed to be around them so avoid these areas all together. Having lived here for over eight years it just got old having to avoid these idiots. I made an effort shortly after arriving to learn thai just so i could avoid them. They encourage bad behavior from the thais from tossing money around like there is no tomorrow. How often do you witness a farang paying 100 to 200 percent more for a taxi, dinner, bargirl, hotel etc. Walking down main street half naked on Koh Samui just shows total disrespect to the locals. So do us all a favor who live here in peace with the thais .Learn some common sense as to the price of a taxi, a meal, a bargirl etc. But above all learn some common manners.

    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 : mentioned [b:2hjbzvbs]seventy percent[/b:2hjbzvbs] 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!
