If U wish 2 extend yr visa, pls visit the Office of Immigration Bureau located @ "Soi Suan Plu, off South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120" 2 file an application for permission. U k call "02 287-3101-10" or "http://www.immigration.go.th" 4 more info.

Fees: unknown (~B$2000 after searching forums. Its ovrprice due 2 kopi $$ as approval is @ the discretion of the officer)

Documents: Yr passport & 3~4 passport size photos.

Hope useful 2 U.

U can also do visa runs to extend one month's stay in bkk for the extension u needed. Cost 2000baht and a photo as well. Not subjected to approval of officer since its done at the borders by those visa agencies. Jackgolf is one trustworthy one i used a year ago.

Will still drop further 4 the nex decade due 2 pressure fm US govt on those exporter countries, esp. China. Fm the US national economy as a whole, tis is a gd sign 2 encourage domestic consumption of own products & mak their own exports more attractive.

Personally tk will be ~6 mths b4 we c any (significant) drop in bahts due 2 major correction of the entire emerging market as a whole. We keep seeing minor correction tat is helping 2 put off the bear as well as reducing its size (aka dmg). Market is 2 bullish 2 let things cool off 4 a moment nw but it shldn't be 2 far (nw).

U think i show liao they will keep their mouth shut. People/clones here always have something to say one lah. They are good at finding new stuff to stir shit one u duno meh?

No need lah,those who know any agogo girls can ask them to show their timesheet if u are their friends. Then u will know how the management do their sums and pay them. How many drinks/day offs/holidays/BFs and cut for being late all recorded one. cannot run one. U will see the gals holding a piece of paper on 3rd to 7th day of every month. Ask to take a look at ur gals,and u will know how many BFs she had last month.

No need envy lah.Chao ah qua not handsome also got sibey chio katoey as gf. In thailand,looks are secondary lah.

Yap, visa run is still practised till date. k do it until the max days/period is reached.

Um, abt the extension fm "90 days/6 mths" 2 "180 days/6 mth", I'm nt sure as the offical website still states "90 days/6 mths" fm the date of 1st entry. But I tk nt possible, otherwise, its almost lik no need visa liao, rite?
6 mth * 30 days = ~180 days.

2 be sure, k U help 2 chk w/ the Immgration or border officers while doing yr visa extension or visa run since U will gt 2 contact w/ them. Mus contribute knwledge bk mah. Thx in adv.

tat's why in 1 of my previous postings, I suggested doing some hedging. Dunnit on v big time scale, but it's some kinda diversification, may oso be treated as a bit of investment.

Diversify abit into other currencies (each currency a few thousand USD worth) such as EUR, YEN (maybe oso AUD & NZD) which are popularly / major currencies traded against USD.

I wldn't advise on yen as its kind of (weakly) tied 2 USD. Jap economic nt tat happening lik it was used 2 (though Jap market outlk doing well nw). Hwevr, personally feel is tat their electronic sector shld be performing better than previously due 2 better quality & branding which is apparent in china market.

SGD$ is nw quite lw, has been slipping against EUR & other emerging countries, so i tk we shld hold our grd @ the moment. We hav >USD$130 billions foreign reserves, SG govt wld be able 2 hold our grd in defending the currencies. (Tis 1 nt meant 4 U, 84gunner)

Yuan$ prospect oso quite gd (in the lng term) as Chinese market lk set 2 soar. In defensive position, shldn't be 2 volatile as Chinese gt >USD$1 trillion foreign reserves. Hwevr, if there's a market turmoil, chinese is going 2 gt the worst as their stock has been ovr-bullish (almost) w/o taking any "breather" or real depth. Most of their investment, esp. fm domestic source(s) R speculative & w/o enough substance 2 bk the rise.

USD$ oso attractive in the (short term) sense tat it has kept slipping & CPI (aka inflation) is upping, so interest rates will hav 2 go up sooner or later, making their bonds attractive, esp. during a market turmoil (which shldn't be 2 far). Hwevr, no need 2 rush as interest rates has nt been reflected properly & stocks lks likely 2 remain bullish 4 another >=1 yr. Tis is a bit risky option as its US govt. policy 2 pressure other countries 2 allw USD reflects its true value. Any drop in currencies will (hopefully) mak its way bk 2 their GDP.

EUR$ R 2 $$ nw, unless wan 2 hold lng term (or lik U, since already getting paid in EUR, so jus need 2 hold)

If gt aplenty of spare $$, wld advise some hedging on commdities instead, e.g. gold.

Jus my 2 sens worth.

Brilliant, interesting and informative sizing up (if only I have the means). Worth more than your 2 cents

Lol peeps, any latest currency exchange figures?

I plan to change about 700SGD to spend in thailand over 3 nights. (escorts and bar and cheap cheap hotel) How much will that compute into THB so i can budget my daily spendings.

Just to enquire - if i get an escort, but i stay in a 800baht 3 star hotel, it won't be frowned upon by the girl right? also, there are many room types and bed types - so which is the proper but cheap one ah? they got so many.. like double twin, single twin ... i just want a simple double bed, cheap cheap can already. thanks.

Yr observation & analysis is pretty good.

But I dun normally like 2 look too far into the longer term, esp in this era where the world & market changes is getting more volatile, economic cycles are getting shorter. I'd be doing investments for few months, unless I see the sector or market having potential for the next > 1 - 2 years.

Similar to yr views, I'd think shorting USD, longing EUR, CNY in the next few months is still ok, probably up till June07. After tat, gotta depend on the situation then.

The other option is, since interest rate is on the high side now, go into Foreign Currencies fixed deposit at fixed rate, ie. <= 12 months contract. But of course, the risk is the exchange rate between now & maturity, whether tat currency's rate has more potential for uptrend or downtrend. NZD can be pretty volatile, but interest rate oso quite high.

Hi Bro
I believe 700SGD will convert into about 15500B, depending on where and when you change. So basically you have about 5000B per day.
Dun mind me for saying this but I think you are on a very "tight" budget here. Probably it will only allow you one "action" per day only. Forget about engaging an escort. They are expensive and not worth it. Try the gogo bar instead but some of them are not cheap either. last know cost from rainbow 4(Nana plaza), the gers are charging 2000B for ST and 4000B for LT. This still doesn't include the barfine and drinks you have to pay. Overall try to control as you still have to include lodging, food and transportation. Not to forget the 700B airport tax when you return to Singapore
