It's not a bad feed there too.

Or just pay an 'agent'. No more visa runs....ever.

The border near Koh Chang would be my pick if you can get through there with the car, then you can rally it all the way to Sihanoukville.

@Rick *******

no she won't. She could exit to somewhere closer and cheaper like Fiji, Rarotonga, NZ, Bali etc stay a night and then return to Aus.

Isn't it usually a 12 month visa with multiple entry 90 days (3 months)? You only need to buy a one way ticket with this visa.

@Jim *******

Once again Jim it depends on the circles you move in. Thailand has a population of over 70 million, there are many single childless university educated available women who you wont find anywhere near the 'entertainment areas' frequented by the majority of foreigners.

@Jim *******

Most unlikely to find one in your seedy circles.

@Mike *******

Do you speak Thai Mike, can you read and write the language? If not you probably wouldn't know what they are talking about most of the time anyway. And you are not the only long term foreigner in Thailand or the only one with a Thai wife, far from it. You shouldn't suppose that you know everything it just comes across as completely ignorant. I'm not wasting anymore of my time on you,typical boofhead.

@Mike *******

clearly you don't know that much about it Mike despite your 20 yrs. At the end of the day, a person will pay whatever they are comfortable with and negotiation is based on various factors

@Mike *******

Says you. A good friend of mine paid a substantial dowry for his 25 yr old Thai bride from a well-to-do family whose parents insisted she was a virgin. May not be discussed in your culture but it is in many others
