    A real traffic cop can only be Thai. There are some westerners that like to dress up and play the part. Anytime one of the "dress up gang" is waving me over, I just keep going.

     

    yeh, im being stopped everyother day by farang, I am all legal, and got big bike that there is not many around so they must remember it. Once they stop me 3 times on 1 roundabout going around it.

     

    Next time they stop me I am going to ask them for police ID, if not present I will not talk to them not show DL, tell them they illegal.

     

     

    Well they could be legal if they got thai passports right? Live here long enough, which I doubt they do.

     

     

    And then, how they can write tickets, they no WP as well i guess.

     

    So basicaly they be fake cops.

     

    They always around thai cops tho, never saw them on thier own.

     

    But they stop and write, and wear uniforms.

     

     

    Heres best part, yesterday I say white kid, think russian, may b 16 years old, with brown uniform, in a police box.

    1, Substantially short and cheap if you are married to a thai. Total 3 years on WP and pay taxes on 40K/month salary

    2, Substantially long and expensive if not married to thai. First step is 3 years on WP and pay taxes on 80k/month salary to get eligible for PR. After applying PR, may take any where from 3-6 years to receive PR status. Once receiving PR status, wait 5 more years to be eligible for applying thai citizenship. All this period still have to be employed on WP and keep paying taxes on 80K/month salary. Add up all above years and altogether it will be within 15-20 years to get your thai citizenship after starting your 80k/month job in thailand.

    not that bad for a married person

     

    So if you married and pay tax, got WP, its around 3 years to get thai passport?

    Lived there  for 27 years until two years ago.

     

    The World Bank rates Port Moresby as one the most dangerous cities in the world.

     

    Do not venture out at night unless you know exactly where you are going, and never on foot. Choose venues with security and where you can park your vehicle in a compound.

     

    wow 27 years, what u been doing there?

     

     

  4. I would strongly advise against visiting Papua New Guinea its very uncivillised your wife would be a rape target and you maybe be forced to watch. Yes thats how uncivillised they are, its like going back in time to the Planet of the Apes and it has nothing to offer a tourist.


    Yeh got that figured already.
    Shame I thought they got civilized a bit with time, looks like not so much.

  5. Been a long time since I was there for a week to visit a mine up in the mountains. Stayed several days in Port Moresby hotel (forgot the name, it was very forgettable). Advised not to go outside at night but took a very wild taxi ride to another hotel a bit up in the hills. Vehicle was a small pickup with a truly wild and reckless driver, apparently just out of the bush. Had the good fortune to be there for the indepencence day celebration which had a huge gathering of groups from the various tribes. Very colorful and happy crowd with abundance of grass skirts, tattoos, ritual body paints. Yes, the mud men were there, just like in the brochures.

     

    Cannot recommend the place unless you really want something extremely different.

     

    Thx

    Need to research more on safety

  6. I have been there ,but it was 40 years ago,like stepping back in time,
    natives queuing at the bank,arse grass,stone axes,and all the paraphernalia, 
    bird of paradise feathers,that was Mount Hagen,it was reputed to be quite
    dangerous then, most houses in Port Moresby had high fences topped with  
    barbed wire,to protect them from the "Rascals", as criminals were called.
     
    But we never experienced any problems,you had to report to the police
    whenever you went out of the main towns,but i suppose like most places
    in the World things have gone down hill,just pleased I visited when I did,
    like so many other places,would not like to return as they will have changed
    so much,and not for the better.
    regards Worgeordie


    Google tells me its bit touristic place now but still pretty much authentic deal

  7. Hi, I am in process of planing holiday for next year, I want to take gf to some western country, as we visited few asian places already, so something for a change and want she see something different.

     

    Now I am from EU so I am good with visas.

     

    My gf is 28, own company, house, 2 condos, commercial bulding (mortgages), car and my bike in her name. She employs people.

     

    She got few mil in her bank acc, so she can show statements and that.

     

    Would that be enough to get visa? I know its tough, but with all that she should be orite right?

     

    Do she need flight booked before apply for visa? (which is no good if she get refused)

     

    How to sort it out?, never been to AUS myself.

     

     

    I also think multi country flight and visit New Zeland, or Papua New Guinea (need more research on that one)

     

    Any info welcome, thank you

     

    Kris
