Re: Laos tourist VOA cost at Nong Khai Friendship Bridge
I recall that current forex rates make paying in cash THB the cheapest option versus cash USD. When I went to Savanakhet last year, I applied/paid for the eVisa online. It cost a bit more than the cash USD fee but was super convenient as the processing at the border was way faster. The Lao eVisa sti...

Re: Suvarnabhumi Priority Lane For Seniors
Good clarification, thanks. Now, back to the conga line.Stantheman wrote: ↑April 17, 2024, 11:47 pmYou will get many answers to this question, but based on Thai Embassy web site long stay is someone on a O-A or O-X visa.

It says "Long stay" qualifies. What's that?

Re: You gotta be joking
Does one let one's conclusions form one's opinions or, is it the opinion that creates the conclusion.
And are facts required, or are they optional?

Re: Suvarnabhumi Satellite Terminal
I would factor in at least an extra 10 minutes to your 'usual' gate time after immigration and security checks. More. If your flight leaves from one of the gates further away from the mid-terminal, where you come out after the train, add anther 5-10 minutes for the walk. Good point, I recall readin...

Re: climate change

Pretty much pillories the hyped-up ruminants methane emission threat when compared with what the downstream fossil fuel chains are "burping" and the attendant misinformation about how substituting m...

Suvarnabhumi Satellite Terminal
It's been open and in use since late last year but I had the first opportunity to use it earlier this month departing on Austrian to Vienna. Check-in, security and immigration is unchanged and still done in the main terminal. The entrance to the long escalator to the S gates is clearly marked with p...

Re: Brexit has saved
I'm not a Brit, just an observer. If it were my country, I would resent a huge bureaucratic group making rules for my country. I certainly would have supported leaving. Obviously the majority of Brits felt the same way. The USA has already signed dozens of International conventions. The Geneva Conv...

Re: Iran launches attack on Israel
Yes, diplomatic missions have always had their military attachés and been part of the counterintelligence and espionage business. But that was back in the simpler times of 007, George Smiley, wars (hot and cold), colonialism and empire where it was all "tolerated as part of the international system...

The BBC celebrating a girls team beating the boys. Ridiculous when the development of kids at this age far exceeds the difference in sexuality. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-68816466 It gives me the chance for a quick rant though. I was listening to a podcast from a sports phone in in t...

Re: Iran launches attack on Israel
Iran flouts all diplomatic niceties, I doubt that it's outpost was not being used for nefarious purposes. The question in my mind, was it sensible for Israel to further inflame what was already overloaded with tensions by opening a new front. For me, i think that was really dumb. You can bet your b...

Re: Iran launches attack on Israel
Diplomatic premises, like homes and schools, are considered "civilian objects" under international law, and they are not permissible as targets unless they are used for a military purpose. Diplomatic buildings are entitled to further protections from attack or other interference by the host country...
