Thank you.
There are ATM ..yes..
You cannot use oversea cards.

That is the most clueless post I ave ever ready on this forum.
Apparently you don't understand the concept /use of a life preserver.
IT KEEPS YOU AFLOAT! (whether you are conscious or not).
WOW!
Well, is there a big wound on the driver's head? If he struck a tree hard enough to be knocked out, there should at least be a formidable bump.
And no need to ask if anybody was wearing a life jacket?
How exactly does a life jacket safe you from drowning when you are unconscious?

Right-neither of them say a tree in the middle of the lake and they were traveling 50 mph I'm sure,which would have been fast enough to kill them.How absurd is that supposition.No life vest either.Very sad indeed.
Way off topic.
C'mon Brits-learn to speak.He remains "in" the hospital.
I don't go to restaurant to dine.I go "to " the restaurant to dine.Use the word "to" please.

It's a way of life-deal with it! It's not a problem-it is interwoven and will NEVER change.
Well, one of the most (only) efficient systems in Bangkok was sure to eventually attract the attention of Thailand's government. The BTS is a standard BOT mega-project in a developing country, and a successful one at that. Corruption in Thailand is an increasingly dire issue (I don't say problem because in Thailand, corruption is fundamentally how business is done, and the entire concept as a moral "negative" needs to be analyzed in amorally to be understood by Westerners who have been trained to think of it as automatically wrong). What Thais have failed to recognize is that this distorts economics, society, politics, everything. It cannot be perpetuated indefinitely without protracting Thailand's development indefinitely. Especially as other Southeast Asian countries show a greater predilection for law, order, and stability. Thailand will simply fail to attract those with a regional or global focus as opposed to a local one.
Come again? Are you being deliberately ambiguous in your post so to avoid chastising?
Corruption IS a problem in Thailand. It's a problem anywhere in the world and that's a fact. Will me or other non amoral 'Westerners' (excuse me, but I don't know the correct prefix for amoral - if there even is one) change this with our opinions? Probably not. It's domestic matter which is no business of mine. Maybe this is your point?
Again, your post is about as clear as mud. My opinion of course.

Yes I have read that previously,thanks.Now for real world,up to date info,anyone there have an update?
The State Dept info is very good for just about every country for a primer.

The UK "experts" left out 1 key phrase,"after the fact", in regards to the Thai response to the floods.

Excellent post-thanks for sharing.

Do they exist and if so,are they plentiful (laughs out loud)?
My cards are USA issued.

Wow,prohibited from drinking at state agencies-what a novel idea!
Once Third World,always...........

I've only done 3 visa runs to the Cambodian border and have yet to encounter a rude person.
-
I can't remember if it was was Russia or China that gave you a 4 page booklet for the visa back in the late 80s/early 90s.
-
They already have.
It will be interesting to see if England does a turn around.

Does "zero" mean something besides "zero" in Thailand?
-
Motorcycles,not scooters,assembled in Thailand cost more in Thailand than they do in the US,even after the cost of shipping them 9-12 time zones afar-literally on the other side of the world.Thai logic-go figure!
-
Really,gangs in LOS?
Is the government aware?
Is TAT aware?
This is so sad and yet it goes on...........
Soak Kran is the worst time to visit LOS,period.

Unless you were from a Third World why would you want to visit the UK,except to watch soccer?

What century is this? It's about time.

Article title has me bent over from laughing.

Bomb or gas explosion?Knowing the long time unrest in the area,bomb wouldn't be a stretch.
But are the KFC and McDonalds OK?

Same same in Pattaya.
Great idea. They obstruct congested footpaths, many have no operational phones, and even kids use mobile phones these days. Good riddance!

What a shame Thai crooks in gov't have stretched their long arms OUTSIDE the country now.
My friend went to the Embassy this morning with more than 20,000B in his pocket, the answer was still no, now they want confirmation of hotel where he is staying in BKK.
The guy at the front says he can fix it.
Many reports by members have given the impression that the Thai consulate in Phom Penh prefers to deal with an agent, a "guy at the front". I think it is worth a try for your friend.
This was my experience a month ago with my wife's visa. Gave it to the guy 'out front' (security shack) late on a Tuesday, and got it back late Thursday - $60 total ($20 for the 'service' and $40 for the single-entry tourist visa). My guess is that it is a very profitable enterprise, and a good chunk gets kicked upstairs, so they provide various dis-incentives to go through the normal channel. The guy said they were making it harder to apply inside, and that, under the best scenario, it would take four days.
Interestingly, they will not do double-entry tourist visas at all, so they must be under some official pressure to limit them, or just figure it's "lather, rinse, repeat", doubling their revenue.
Personally, I have had enough of this. Time to move on...

I guess he'll be depending on others or be struggling for the remainder of the 21st century.
That would be reason enough for me to become computer literate if it affected my life to that degree.
He has no knowledge of using computers

It's normal for that request to show a minimum amount.The honorary Thai consulate in Miami has needed that since at least 2008 to issue a visa.
That's tough. The official requirement listed on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is "Evidence of adequate finance (20,000 Baht per person and 40,000 Baht per family)". If the embassy is satisfied with this and if he has a way (ATM or credit card) of withdrawing this amount or its equivalent in another currency, eg US dollars, at a bank, he could do that.
