the worst thing about the "should go home" brigade is that they are pretty much always douchebags who somehow got themselves here then ended up in the "can't go home" crew (ie. Knocked up a bar girl, then told their home friends & family that it wasn't an accident inorder to not look like a brain-dead git - it was a conscious choice to stay here because of true love." - and y'know, the resultant attitude is "yeah I'm pretty much native Thai now, and we don't like farang in our country."

....fair enough. good luck in Summer then.

They are right, this is the ONLY insurance that seems to be trouble-free when entering. Ensure it says it in USD. People are getting rejected for insurance way higher but in the wrong currency such as 10million GBP.

I was just giving you the info cos you asked for it. For me Nichada Thani is the perfect example of hell on earth and exactly why I never plan to go back to the west.

@Steve *********

tbh I've actually never met anyone else who's heard of it either. The residents don't seem to leave the compound unless they have to, and I suspect Nichada itself has no interest in making itself known internally as it seems they don't want any Thais there with the exception of all the hundreds of caretakers and gatesmen etc... But actually, now I think about that, even all those people seemed to be only Burmese anyway.

looks like the website hasn't been updated in 4 years but this sentence sums it up well

"Today we are proud to present 49 sub-communities and a vast array of supporting retail, leisure and service opportunities inside our secure gates, supporting the approximate 1,300 families who call Nichada Thani their home."

nope it's built for "expats from all over the world" but in actual fact it's like American/Japanese. It has a website nichada.com but the website kinda just has a feel of a small real-estate agent or something.. but it's a huge sealed-off compound like place that takes quite a few minutes to even drive across.. it would be at least a few hundred streets of movie-set perfect America. Like my first day I was employed I felt like it was a fake town designed for filming American movies here in Thailand or something.

@Paul ******

did you read the post? It's only a sentence long and she says they are rich AF.

Not in Nichada Thani - completely self-sufficient American area as far as I can tell... There's probably a shrine built for Brandon by now in their bible-belt singing church that everyone attends every Sunday as well.

It'll be fine. Mine literally looks like it's been through a washing machine. Occasionally eVisa won't read it.. then it's done manually.
