ive just bought and paid for my first rtw trip….
after searching through which visas i have to get, i found the thai one abit confusing.
many websites say that i can just get a 30 day visa stamp (free) and all i have to do is catch the flight, fill in forms on plane and bring a couple of passport photos of myself………
another website says that you have to have proof of travel out of thailand eg, flight booked out so they definatley know your gonna leave.
my problem is that im planning on traveling thru thailand and flying out of singapore. Obviously this is possible as many people do it, but i dont want to get on a plane to bangkok and be refused entry as i havent got a flight leaving the country and the wrong kind of visa
if anyone could help id be very.v.v gratefull
cheers

Tiger Woods is considered by many to be the best professional golfer ever. At the age of 2, Tiger appeared on THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW, putting against comedian Bob Hope. At 15, Tiger became the youngest U.S. Junior Amateur Champion in golf history. Today, Tiger is the first ever to hold all four professional major championships at the same time (Master’s, PGA, U.S. Open, British Open). All the below are true about Tiger, except: *
A) Is half-Thai, mother is Kutilda, a native of Thailand
B) Grew up in Orange County, California
C) On June 15, 1997, in his 42nd week as a professional, Tiger became the youngest-ever No. 1 golfer at age 21 years, 24 weeks.
D) Since 1997, Tiger has consecutively been named the Player of the Year by the PGA TOUR (Jack Nicklaus Award), the PGA of America, and the Golf Writers Association of America).

I’ll be traveling next week to Thailand with a small group of people. We will be going from Bangkok up north and might even visit Myanmar for an afternoon. I am concerned about disease and any other risks such as animal or human?
Any advice?

I am thinking about going to Thailand or somewhere else abroad for a 3 or 4 month contract to teach English. Does anyone know any legitimate websites with information about this? Have you taught English abroad or know anyone who has?

I just have to say this as an American who loves the U.S. and has traveled the world.We all live under a bubble in this world but when your airplane pops out of the bubble of info into free space you leave all of your countries ideals behind and you begin to realize everything you have ever be taught is based on your countries ideas and beliefs.Saint Augustine said one of the most important things ever said”The world is a book and those who don’t travel only read one page.”If you don’t you just get stuck on page 1 and that is all you ever know and that is dangerous.As I travel the world and see all of the different cultures I see how I was taught to believe America was the greatest place in the world.Well,that is the same propaganda north Korea teaches to its people.I have seen the same mentality in a brainwashed isolated north Koreans as I have seen in a mid western isolated Americans.If I said this to a north Korean they would scream and complain that I am a liar but that is the the same way as our isolated mid westerners or any isolated non traveled American would act.My brother is a history professor who understands everything about history but has always liked to live in the smallest towns.Yeah!He has never traveled and has no idea about the outside world and it hurts me deeply because if I try to talk to him about the American foreign policy even before George Bush he gets mad and I think to myself “Why did you ever study history.” I talked to my friends about this the other day from Sweden,Denmark and Finland and Thailand and they all said to me about their own personal upbringing “Don’t you think we are taught that we are the best country in the world?”Everyone is taught that but we as Americans who use to be the real paradise(outside of nasty slavery)have lost our power as the light in the dark so things have changed.My point is FOX news is our version of U.S.S.R type propaganda.I have had friends from Europe straight out ask me If I trusted in it before they would be my friends.As I watch news around the world talking about all realty and things Americans will almost never see I get sick in my stomach when I click to FOX and their only talking about diets and Paris Hilton.I saw it happen today.WE ARE BEING LIED TO BY FOX NEWS.Plus to all people outside the bubble Bill O’Reilly is considered to be the biggest liar on the planet outside the worst countries and he is.People who believe him are the same as people in north Korea crying and listening to Kim Jong ll just not quite as sick.Listen,this is just a little heads for all of you who have never been outside the bubble.Just like we feel for the isolated north Koreans.Our news is not necessarily true either.But what news is?You just have to travel the world yourself and learn what is real and what is not.I LOVE AMERICA AND I HOPE WE CAN BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARK AGAIN.

How short? You automatically get 15 days on arrival, or you can get 60 day tourist visa or 90 days (in certain circumstances) from the embassy — see the details at the embassy website - http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/vmp.htm .

Haripoonshai was the first known organized civilization in the north of Thailand and played a central role in the Mon rule of the region from the 8th to the 13th centuries. When King Mengrai led his Thais into the Chiangmai area in the second haft of the 13th century, the Haripoonshai Kingdom of the Mons had already been a flourishing center of culture, art and religion for 600 years. As the Thai conquered the entire north, Haripoonshai became a priority area for King Mengrai and his successors and it was eventually incorporated into the Lanna Kingdom with its capital in Chiangmai.
The Thai adopted many of the Mon Buddhist art forms, particularly in architecture and statuary. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the structures and art of Haripoonshai showed marked signs of the merging of two cultures. Over the following centuries, the art, architecture and religion of the area became one. Today, the Mon Haripoonshai impact on northern Thai culture, particularly in its Buddhist aspects, is crucial to understanding and appreciating the architecture of northern Thailand.
The pure Haripoonshai features of these mediums can still be seen in some of the ancient temples built by Princess Jarmmathaewee 1,200 to 1,300 years ago. These are located in the city of Lamphun (Note: The word is actually pronounced as “Lumpoon”). The six temples are: Wat Jarmmathaewee, Wat Phrathart Haripoonshai, Wat Mahawan, Wat Phrayun, Wat Phrathuri, and Wat Phakhong. The first three of these are the most well-known, but all six date from the 8th and 9th centuries. Today, they are a marvel to view with their ancient jedees and statuary in sandstone and terra-cotta.
The three most outstanding examples of Mon architecture and art are Wat Jarmmathaewee, Wat Phrathart Haripoonshai, And Wat Mahawan. The first is located approximately 1 kilometer west of the city; the second is located between Inthayongyod Road, Lamphun’s main road, and the Guang River on the east; and, the third is two blocks west of the Haripoonshai National Museum, itself across the street from Wat Phrathart Haripoonshai.

Besides the Ladyboys I can’t seem to find a reason not to pick up and live there. It’s amazing. Do you agree with me? (only answer if you have been there and understand what I am talking about)

Thanks to the whitewash by the liberal news media everyone thinks he died of suicide in Thailand. Hogwash!!! That’s just were his body was found.
He was actually in Indonesia investigating a rumor that Barack Hussein Obama had been baptized as a Muslim. Kind of a coincidence that he died shortly after interviewing a witness who said he saw Obama swear allegiance on the Quran and swear never to do anything infidel like.
You can’t bury the truth forever. This stinks I tell you!!! Somethings rotten in the news media!!!
What are you doing to get the word out?

Is it still safe to go to Thailand ?

How can a guy in Thailand sell 1670 Baht ($48) worth of Thai Baht for $33 on Ebay? Is there someone in Thailand checking to see if this is counterfeit? Or is this a great deal?http://cgi.ebay.com/BANKNOTE-KING-9-FROM…

Dear friend,
You want to know why Khunying Photdjaman went to see Pa Prem, and what they talked about?
Khunying had a message to be passed on the King of Thailand through Pa Prem. The bargain of Thaksin is:
•As for the hidden shares, he will return ten billions to Thailand and pay penalty. In return, no jail sentence.
•As for other small technical mistakes he will pay compensation to the State, five billion baht.
•As for causing disunity and division among the Thai people, he is very sorry. He was well meant. He will create a Foundation for Peace and Unity in Thailand with five billion baht.
•As for having created heavy concern to the King Himself, he is extremely sorry, promise to wear the yellow shirt all his life, and ask for Royal Pardon. Besides, he will contribute to Royal Projects ten billion baht.
•As for the Thai Rak Thai, he will dissolve it into thin air. He and his former associates will not have any role or activity in politics for five years.
•He loves Thailand and the Thai people. He is home sick. He wants to live in peace, play golf, go shopping from time to time to Paragon and eat khuitiaw in a normal restaurant. He will do normal business, pay takes by the new rules, and visit monks. (Since his wealth has greatly diminished he will not be able to make much merit in thambuns for a few years).
•Briefly: he pays, he gets Royal Pardon, and no jail for him. He promises to be a good boy from now on.
That was the message of Mr. Thaksin to Pa Prem for the King.
Khunying Photdjaman only said she khit thing Thailand very much, was not pleased with Harrods, and did not like English tea. Therefore she hoped to be back soon in Thailand with 100 pieces of luggage and another 100 of small shopping gifts for the new government members, to show their gratitude.
This simple request took only fifteen minutes.
Pa Prem did not say anything, only that he would pass the message to the King.
End of the visit.

The categories are: Geography/Farming, Religion, Family life, School/education, Government, “Classes” of people.
At least two facts for each. This is about present day Thailand.
