I'm showing up in Bangkok this weekend, I'll be living there with a friend till late December. Seems like there are more and more 2+2ers there these days, maybe we could get a meet up together.

Also, quick visa question. I have the 60 day visa but my return ticket is for 86 or so days from arrival, I'm just planning to get the standard extension in Bangkok but will this cause me problems getting in? My friend who's already there said I could probably just buy a refundable ticket at the airport and cancel it right after for a nominal fee, sound legit? Also what will I need for proof of return flight?

Sorry if this was covered already, I've read through the whole thread at one time or another but there's a lot of stuff in here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NTB, sorry to hear about the loss. This grinding hottie sounds interesting, and so does your fear of getting shanked by crazy gangs. U ok down there?

Tx. Spent about 5 days with my friend who lost the gf. Hes recovering well.

Grinding hottie was a nice distraction for a night.

Worries about getting shanked by gangs are RISING rapidly though!

Ex GF is now completely deranged and last night showed up at my flat (with another girl inside of course). I refused to open the door and she went mental smashing in my windows and threatening to kill us both. The police arrived, eventually, an hour after being called. She got the Thai equivalent of a restraining order put on her by the Police Captain but the price of that was that I had to agree to pay for the damages.

Thailand can be awesome, but folks! There also be some bad [censored] here too. Be aware and protect yourself! In this case it turns out I was smart AND unlucky at the same time. After it was all sorted out, I was havng a cigarette with the police SGT and he told me I was smart for NOT going outside and restraining her because as a foreigner it would have bought me [censored] of trouble and that was probably her objective. He said I was unlucky by being a foreigner because if I was a Thai man, I could have gone outside and beat the everliving [censored] out of her, once she started destroying property, and the Police would have done nothing except remve her from the scene.

Can I get a list of 2+2ers that plan to live here for long time (not just 1 month vacations) and are currently here. Like 1y+

I think I wanna visit within this year, however I dont want to be alone. Like living for a month or two by myself, or w/ some thai girl would prolly get lonely. Now, hopefully I will go w/ a friend or something, but it is no guarantee.

A master list of accessible 2+2ers would be nice, as I am sure many ppl are in the same spot as I.

If Thailand gets too expensive for you, you can visit me in Vientiane. I will probably be here in 2008 but can't make any guarantees at this point.

[TheWunderkind]

john when will you be there? How old are you?

Iam travelling at 31. oct and will likely stay for a long time.

[MARK R]

I have read this whole thread and unless I have missed it I dont think I have seem this question asked.

What are a list of phrase that you need to communicate with people in Thiland. Or can you just speak english and most will understand you.

[TheWunderkind]

From what ive understand thais dont speak very good english but you shouldnt have a problem if you stay around tourist areas wich you will be anyway the first Time and youll meet enough farangs and eglish speaking thais to get around but its def a huge plus EV if ypou learn thai if youll stay there for longer. Id def get myself thai lessons, ive alway been talanted in learning english and speaking other languages is just fun AND thais appriciate when you learn and respect there culture/ language.



Boys iam so excited right now, my flight is booked for 31th. If aynone is in BKK at around 1. nov pls pm me!
