Do you think they're going to tell you: "Oh we're going to fake the stamps and border work. They're pretty good but it's on you if you get busted." or "I have some family that works in immigration. No problem! Totally legal."? Come on man, don't be naive.

Staying in Thailand on a fake stamp is a criminal offense that you can end up seeing the inside of a jail cell for if you get busted. Google: "thailand fake visa stamp" for about a zillion incidents of people getting busted. And ya know, the vast majority of those aren't people giving their passports to some guy they don't trust. They give passport to the guy that has 'family' 'friends' or whatever else, get it back a week later - all is good, then they eventually end up going to immigration, the airport or whatever and get a rather unpleasant surprise.

If you want to take that risk then obviously that your prerogative, and obviously the majority of people will never have a problem. But telling other people it's risk free is just wrong.

Phuketers:

Where can I buy a food scale? I tried Big1, Villamarket and Homepro... mai miii!!!!

I know Richard hunted for one before he started his boiled chicken diet. I think he only found a rather unprecise busto one. I haven't seen any proper digital foodscales here

i'd guess that drug dealers would know where to get a good, accurate digital scale. go try to score some coke, and ask to buy the scale.....

my lease ends in bkk at the end of this month and i'm leaving in 2 weeks. anyone know a good service appartment for a reasonable price for 2 weeks or so?

not answering your question but you should try and dive chumphon pinnacles, off koh tao, sick dive site, loads of big sharks sit around 25m and barracuda, try and go at sunrise.

Is Thailand dangerous at this time of the year (I mean with all we see in the media and everything)

Wolfram: buy scale in design square, after central festival, opposite side

No, sorry. And I would guess that the number of schools who have the ability to do this is quite small. The 1-year no-border-run visa is only meant to apply to higher education, not Muay Thai or Thai language schools. There are some places that can get it for you, but only because they are connected.

If you really want to pursue this I would suggest Thaivisa.com, because I don't think there is anybody in this thread who actually has an education visa, and you will only get guesses as replies.

I know at least 5 people, including me that have education visas who post in this thread. I agree though thaivisa is the place to ask

can get a student visa here ;p

Good gym I've trained here many times

I need some advice on massage places. Are there any clues to which offer only massage? I was at a massage place at a hotel in a big city, and the girl not only offered full package, but almost forced herself on me. She was like 50y, and not very attractive. First thing she said was that "its so hot here", and then she just started to ask and when i said no, she just didint want to take no for an answer. she wanted to know why. Am i too old? blablabla. so, the whole massage thing was spoiled. she finally understood i didnt want it, but then she asked about handjob. she tried to make me think i didnt understand her, as if i couldnt say no if i understood her. so finally i had to explain to her what she meant, and then she kinda stopped. it was kinda interesting to see how persistent she was, but i would like to know when i am in for a situation like this and when i can expect only a massage and not dirty talk for 1h.

How long can I stay if I just arrive in Thailand without going to a Thai embassy abroad first? Question is, can you extend the 30 days you get at an immigration office, or do you have to leave the country?

ugh, never go to that place again.

Most of the time I've been offered a simple no has sufficed. Two no's at the most.

I think you're mixing up some things if you're not answering your own question.

If you arrive without a visa you get a stamp or a 'visa on arrival'. If you arrived via air you get 30 days with this. If you arrived via land you get 15 days. This can be extended once for 7 days for 1900 baht at the immigration office.

You can only extend a visa you receive outside the kingdom for 30 days, and only once per visa/entry.

Gentlemen, I'm moving out of BKK on short notice and I have a large 'Twins' brand, 50kg (110lb) heavy bag in my apartment. I bought it brand new at Lumpini three months ago, for 3,500THB, and it has seen just a few hours of gloved training. It's in perfect condition and has chains attached for hanging.

PM me as I'd like to sell or swap it ASAP, thanks.

Any time you get unwanted attention like this just tell the lady you are married.

That aside, there are plenty of massage places that do their work in the open without curtains, they are unlikely to offer happy endings.

Not all countries get 30 days at the airport and as far as I know you need a "serious reason" (illness etc) to extend the visa on arrival for 7 extra days (I'm not sure how it works in reality, maybe a few baht will help).

he mentioned both

if you arrive without visa and are exempted from visas you get 30 days visa exempt stamp (most western countries)

if you are in one of the countries requiring visa on arrival you get 15 days (most eastern european countries for example)

you dont need to be sick or anything for the extension

with both of these examples you can extend your stay for 7 days for 1900 baht like dire said. you will need ticket out of the country within those days and afaik it is the only requirement in addition to the money and showing up to immigration

the standard tips is isually to look for places that employ older ladies,..but apperantly that would't have helped you in this specific instance :/

Hey guys,

4 of us want to rent a house from 20 juli to 20 aug to go and grind in nice weather and do some nice stuff. We can spent about 4-5k max. on the house. What's the best location and what sites are best to look for houses.

thx!

All the sites are sh*t imo, just get out here and stay in hotels if youre only coming for a month. location depends on what youre into. 3 of the friends that I came to thailand with ended up in patong for 2 months and think its the nuts while me and another stayed in kata and karon and we liked it there. I'm in patong currently for the next week and its nice being a 10 meters away from bangla, but i prefer kata and karon personally. Another option is obvi bkk which is fun as hell. since youre only in thailand for a month i suggest doing 2 weeks in bkk and 2 weeks in phuket, both are great places to live.

I always thought a happy ending was just a handjob? But its usually a bj? Do a lot of posters here do that? Sure way to get an STD, no?

Ok, so it sounds as if in BK and Phuket; 3-4 guys could pay about $500 each for a nice serviced apartment with internet inc. bills, even a swimming pool? Is that right? And food, drink, partying etc. is obv very cheap?

As most of you derive your income from poker, I was wandering, are there any super-micro grinders amongst you?- someone who basically grinds just to subsist with rent, food, partying and doesn't care about saving? I assume you are all cash players and 4- table, but what's the lowest stakes? I read one guy grinds $3/6 limit, but it's not as if all of us can beat levels that high. Just trying to work out the financial commitments involved im moving there for like 3 months.

Also, can trained (white) non-Thai speaking professional security/doorman get work in Thailand?
