Where can I do a bounce for under 1900 that takes less than the 3 hours I will kill at Chaeng Wattana? PS: I am in Samui and have to go to BKK to get new passport. Out of pages on current one.

You broke my heart, Tod.

Samui immigration here in Mae Nam are oddly efficient and speedy. They will have you in and out in under an hour. Best to go at 09:00, before the rush.

Tod... Voice of reason. Yes. I do not say can or can not. Or even repeating hearsay. Only what I see. And yes, the website bounces you back here. It IS Thailand. Quite possibly, one day you can... and a week later... can NOT.

None. However if you live in the EU, USA or South Africa, there are many "portable" options..

Uh, John, sorry, but that is incorrect. Neighbor purchased his elite last year in America,at the Thai Embassy in DC, and yes, IN USD.

CAN. As the Thai say.

Get Wet!

Ministry of LABOUR. Not an immigration office. Not a stupid question. This is Thailand.

555 Is Roi Et any more "real" than Din Daeng or Koh Samui? Yeah, racism is alive and well here in SE Asia, whether one has to wade through the Nigerian pimps and the trafficked Ugandan girls in Sukhumvit or hear the things the Japanese and Korean tourists say about the Thai (and say about each other when not in one another's earshot) to know that the concept of Racism is not a European or American construct. They do it fine here.
