    Re: Visa issues

    Its a direct flight from whatever godforsaken hole you are in China? Why don't you stopover for a couple of days in Hong Kong on the way and get a visa?

    Another solution for Kittyboy is to do visaruns every 15 days. From Pattaya it will cost you 2000 baht for a daytrip to the Cambodian border that includes everything .

    These visarun companies also operates from Bangkok .

    Just to add that the Thai Visa website has recent reports of a change in the immigration rules which is now giving holders of passports from G7 countries 30 days visa exemption at land borders. The reports suggest not all border offices have heard of this yet.

    Because I am not interested.

    So no thanks to the unwanted travel planning advice.

    Re: Visa issues

    Thanks guys...I have been coming to or going to? Going to thailand for 25 years and never realized I was getting a visa exemption and not a visa on arrival.....huh....well there goes my gold star for being the bright pupil.

    I will apply online for a proper visa.

    As another aside..I have an American friend who wants to stay in chiang mai for 4 to 6 months....how difficult is it to get an education visa....ie Thai cooking, or Thai boxing?

    He is a younger hetero guy and wants to hang out and not do much. So he is seriously thinking about cooking or boxing school.

    What are the class attendance requirements? Does anyone know?

    A whopping 4 hours/week (I know, they're really strict in Thailand).

    People can generally stay for 12 - 15 months on tourist VISAs without issue though. Just goto Laos, and grab a double entry tourist VISA when needed, which allows you 6 months in total.

    Re: Visa issues

    In my stupidity when I was talking to a non Thai guy who has been living and running a market stall in Bkk for a few years now I asked him how did he manage to stay and always just assumed that he an "illegal" and he informed me that no onot at all and that he was there on a normal student Visa, again in my stupidity I then asked him "but how did he manage to fit in going to college AND work so much on the stall ( as he was always there was as far as I could see) and he just smiled and give me a look like "are you THAT green here and promptly said "1000 baht, problem sorted" and for that his attendance card was apparently fully marked up up as him having attained the full required attendance ( and then some) for the entire year.

    Thanks...sounds easy enough....it might be kind of hot to take a few months off and take Thai boxing lessons myself..all the muscle boxers...

    I was in bkk a few months ago and found myself walking on Rama 4 after leaving the lumpinee subway station and across the street was a boxing gym training center.....I watched the guys through the window for quite a few minutes.

    Management needs to put in a coffee shop so the boys can be uh supported by their admirers.
