Can't think what!!😆

Why would anyone want to go to Buriram? There's nothing there

No problem. You'll leave through the eGate anyway

@Jonathin ******

The old temples are actually Khmer temples, in other words Cambodian temples. How is Buriram even Thailand?

@Chris *****

I have been to Buriram - certainly not the sort of place I'd put on a "must do" list for a tourist. I actually live in Thailand - and I mean REAL Thailand, not this place called Isaan, which is essentially Cambodia and Laos annexes. Time to give it back. Its main industry is a perpetual supply of prossies for the bars of Pattaya and Patong

@Uri ******

I do respect myself. I won't call Buriram a tourist destination!

@Tony *****

I live in Bangkok, but my favourite destinations in Thailand are Rayong, Hua Hin, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, Phuket. Certainly not Buriram! Let's not forget Buriram only became part of Thailand less than a century ago. Historically it's Cambodia so why doesn't Thailand just give it back to its traditional owners?

@Chris *****

I haven't been to Pattaya for over ten years but I assume it's still the same. But yes, dirty old men go to Pattaya to get young women (mostly rice farmers daughters from Isaan), but places like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Phuket, Samui are real tourist destinations. However you try to spin it, Buriram is not a tourist destination. Furthermore, Buriram only became part of Thailand less than a century ago. Historically it's Cambodia, so why doesn't Thailand give this huge rice paddock back to its traditional owners?

@Todd ********

Exactly my point! 65k is the minimum required for the average retirement visa. You obviously don't realise that. And yet so many can't afford it, so they have to scamper every year to an agent to get the extension they can't afford. It's comical to watch them. I retired at 48 and accessed Super at 50 - so yep, I worked until "almost dead" - these days I'm getting 10-12% return tax free! And yet again your basic arithmetic fails you. LTR is 50,000 for ten years, OX is around 14,500 for ten years, but LTR is better? Yeah, right! I'd say OX is the 'smart' visa for those with better things to do with their money, but heyho to each their own huh?

Yes I have been there. Awful place
