With regard to obtaining visas - I have a drink driving charge from about 12 months ago. Does this affect my visa application (It does if I go to the USA)

Im pretty sure the entry thing said nothing about past crimes. You can get visa from ur own country. I got 3x60 days, which means I just need to cross any border for 2 seconds every 60 days to be here for 6 month. If you are not broke I think a 1 year visa is pretty easy obtainable from ur home country too, they just need to see bankstatements saying you are in fact not über broke.

Lame. Guess I'll have to find out what all you Americans keep whining about and play a little Stars/Tilt.

That house is so clean. I wish I could have gone with everyone but I had some [censored] come up. I look at my place here compared to there and it is literally depressing.. and I live in an apartment on a damn golf course lol. I am planning some vacation spots within the next few months and Thailand is my first stop for sure.

From a NYTimes article:

To catch the infectious Thai spirit of the day (and show your enthusiasm), pack a yellow shirt. The National Commission on the Celebrations has asked everyone to wear yellow shirts (the royal color) every day from Dec. 1 to 5 to demonstrate their love and respect for His Majesty.

You can buy the 'official' King shirts anywhere, pretty much. Polo style seem to be the most popular, and they aren't expensive.

Are USD$100 bills easy to exchange or should I try to get smaller denominations?

Use credit card and withdraw money at the ATMs, max card every time for best value. And then you dont have to bring monopoly money
