I love your passion and the way you just tell it as it is. I fully agree with what you say. In fact, I often wonder whether us Brits are the ones who’ve got it wrong. For example, the British taxpayer funds the Natural History Museum in London. Entrance is free. Maybe we should be charging the tourists.

Let's say you fly to Singapore or Hong Kong every week for business. That's 2800 baht a month, that visa charge doesn't look so bad now (one fee for ten years, not bad)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work here, interesting niche you've Bangkok Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520128821034143804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925671106224071671.post-35731555235232252772007-07-18T03:53:00.000-07:002007-07-18T03:53:00.000-07:00@ Jeff... whenever you leave a comment here...

Yes it's difficult to obtain a visa, but only if its doubtful that you can support yourself in the country. Thailand has the same rules for people wishing to stay long term in that they have to prove financial stability.
