whoops sorry stoneyboy. For some reason I thought Ian started this thread. My reply should have said SB.

Ian,
There are three kinds of bird shows
1. Best voice. Bird with the nicest voice wins.
2. Fighting. Bird who wants to "fight" the most. This is determined by a specific song that the birds sing. The bird who sings this song the most wins. There is no actual bird fighting.
3. Best voice combined with the "fighting song"

My husband is obsessed with birds...which is how I know. We had one bird that was a big winner. He sold it before we moved to Canada for 9000 baht, now it is worth more then 30,000. This is determined on how much money people will offer to buy the bird for. The current owner has refused several offers for 30,000. These birds can be worth much more then this too, but usually go for 3-5000 baht when it is unknown how well they will do in shows. The guys who train these birds to go to shows are very dedicated to them and spend hours upon hours with them every day. watching them, showering them, teaching them how to "fight"/sing, taking them over to their friends houses for bird play dates etc.

I don't think they ask if you want a single or multiple entry, or if they do we checked single and got multiple. We were really surprised we got a ten year multiple entry, but I have heard this is not unusual. Good luck!

My Thai husband had the easiest time getting a visitors visa (in Bangkok) for the US after he had been to Canada on two TRVs. Once they knew that I was Canadian and had never lived in the US, he had been to Canada twice, and we were only going to the US to visit my dad, they didn't ask him any other questions or have a look at the binder of proof we had brought them. He was given a 10 year multiple entry visa to the US.
