Phil is Dangerous , Difficult, Done I reckon. Had a wonderful Phil Girl but couldn’t stand the place.

All types of Thai Visa are more difficult these days. Your 30 day Visa Exempt is Extendable to 45 Days.

Then a quick weekend or one day visa run flight to say Penang gives another 45 days. Might be easier there than in West to also do a 60-90 day Tourist Visa over that weekend at Thai Consulate ?

15 day extensions in fact 30 day ! so little point in Tourist Visa unless six months which existed pre - Covid.

Could it possibly be something as simple as feedback from tourists to their friends and mentioning their first impression of landing... at an airport with fellow passengers crammed like cattle in a pen waiting to be processed through immigration by surly officers and half the kiosks empty?

Surely not, could it?

Depends on the time of day. If a planeload of  Chinese or Indians land and are in front of you, then yes it is a visit to Hades.

I'm over 70 so I get fast track.

I had forgotten about that. I am not quite there yet, although it's not so far off.

They check my age in my passport and it's minutes.The only downside is the extra wait time for my bag.I will take my time the next trip no point in rushing when there's no one in front of you.

Or cough up for a seat at the pointy end of the plane. Doesn't get you the golf buggy, but it does get you the fast track.

If you are at the very, pointy, drivers end, and dressed in a nice uniform, surrounded by slim beauties,  you seem get no trouble at all. 😆

True, Back when I worked for BA, especially when it was duty travel, I could get away with a lot.

      News Forum - Bangkok named fourth friendliest city in the world for 2024

      Amen. All these “World’s Top 10” travel lists are based on opinions, agendas and/or who’s paying. Nobody with any experience ever reads them and thinks “wow, that’s what I would have thought”. Only truly naive people take this “information” on board. Positive linear correlation here? The more experienced one is, the more ridiculous these lists seem.

      Life in the Isaan Boonies.

      It's October 6th 2024. Snaps in the boonies here. I didn't win the lottery last time. Never mind. What would I do with 6 million extra baht. Just give it to the Mrs to buy gold. Always another time. Went to the number 4 market on Friday. Bought a new pair of specs. Rated -1.25. Paid more than I usually do. Mrs Snaps got a pair also. Two baht change out of 200 for the two. Not yet worn them. Gonna keep them for a special occasion. Also bought 200 big pinkies. Mildred looked after them while I went for the car. Went straight to the farm after we finished shopping. Put 100 in number 7. 50 in number 6. 25 in ponds 3 and 5. A couple of days earlier, went to the daily market in Ban Dung. Was as busy as I've seen it. Plenty of fish. I was looking for live creatures. I was tempted by the frogs. Mildred explained that they would jump away and we would not see them again. So decided against getting them Finished up buying 7 terrapins. 50 baht each. Kept them in the mazza over night. Let then go next morning. Mildred was at school, so Mrs Snaps did the bizzo. The wall at the front of the Leccy place is finished. Don't know what it supposed to be for. Just a waste of moneyl Anyone wanting to get in to help themselves to free leccy, just has to go to the side. Must have cost best part of million baht. Bought my cheese in MAKRO last week. That's my breakfast sorted of a couple of months. Found an interesting item while I was in there. I asked the Mrs to spill the beans. She said the stuff kills 99.9% of viruses. Interesting! Best not to let Billy G know. Long time followers of the thread will be wondering if the leaning tree is still upright. Well not upright exactly; but continues to lean. Must be about 45 degrees now. It was once a upstanding tree. Honest!. I blame the catfish. The new restaurant is doing great. Ready for business this month for sure. Shutters to keep out the road noise and dust. Just need a new floor and all will ready. Cm't wait to get me noodles. Me and Mildred were waiting for the bus on the last day before the holiday. A little girl was collecting some flowers. Came over and gave them to me. How lovely. On the same morning, after the bus had departed, I spotted a little dog sown the soi opposite. So cute. It came over, and let me stroke it. Lady saw me, and came out to talk. I asked her what breed of dog it was. ''It is Pekan.'' Never heard of that one. Nice dog though. Tiny little thing. I reckon our cat Ginger is much bigger. The house in our soi is nearing the stage where it could be moved into. Just a guy and his wife working now. Doing the rendering and fixing up the electrics. Someone is having soil dropped. I have ordered a load for the palm farm. I do need some stone for the damaged road. This stuff not good enough for a road surface. though Kittens have found a way to get up on the table. Mum must have shown them the route. After the market on the 4th, we popped into Big C for a few items. Water festival still on the go. There was a new exciting contraption for the kids. Three now; and a trampoline. A young lady was watching me take some pics. She came over and I was surprised when she asked me in good English; ''Where are you from?'' ''Hi!'' I replied. ''I'm from London; England. Where is your father from?'' ''Pattaya.'' She said, and then swam off. Funny; but nice. +++++ What is it with the number 5 recently, And in Scotland there were just 3 matches. I'm streets ahead on my forecasting of the Championship. +++++ Marked out the foundations for the third solar system this afternoon. Bit tricky this one as it's right on the edge of our land, has an underground PVC pipe right in the way, and has water running through the very bit where I plan to erect the cells. More on this later. Kun is gonna try to divert the water. Rain has finished. Went from wet every day, to nothing any day this month. Me and Kun had a look at the underground pipe. Seems it is not damaged as we thought it might be. Don't know her name, but we know her as Boyz's mum. She came on the borrow again yesterday. The Mrs was telling me she will never give back any dosh she borrows. So she has arranged for her to clear up round the house. It's a fair bit of work. But better to get a job sorted than just give away money. Mildred is already travelling 'free', on her bus, for the next 18 months. Really pleased to see a koi, that Mildred released into the pond a week or so ago, come up for food today. Didn't see any of the pinkies in pond 7. Takes a few days for them to get confident and be seen. Did a 36 hour fast last week. Feeling quite good. Although my left hip is stopping me walk normal. Have to keep on with the magnesium. Still doing my bathroom yoga. It's gonna be quite busy this month. Busy?! Wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for viewing. Seez ya next post in just a couple of days. Creepy skyline. Creeper take -over.
