In Topic: Where Is It Flooding ?

One of the most useful threads. Was looking for information like this for hours. If you have pictures, please add them! First hand pictures are so much better than most news pics.
Ramkhamhaeng University area is dry.

In Topic: Fitting Contact Lenses

2011-02-18 15:48:30

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the answer. I went to a few of those branches and they all said I should go to an Eyehospital.
I did go to a big Top Charoen Eyehospital but all they did is measure the eyesight and my BC. I think I need more
than one measurement to get good fitting contact lenses (and I have no idea what that BC is good for anyways).

I don't have any kind of prescription, so that's what I need.

Pity u live in Nakhon Sawan, so I can't go to your optician.

Any concrete place in Bangkok anyone?

Thanks for your advice girls. Actually my brother lives here so they know each other and he met my Mum when she visited. I'm not close to anyone else. Many friends have also been. He does seem interested as he asks about it alot but something about actually going there seems to scare him. I've considered paying for his flight because I'm sure he won't allow it go to waste knowing I've spent that much!

It would bother me too, if my bf didn't want to see where I came from. I would want to know the reason.
Didn't you ask him what he is scared of or why he doesn't want to go? Maybe the flight?
Maybe he doesn't want to spend so much money on a trip? Maybe he can't take off work?
Maybe he doesn't like western food?

Actually, my Bf also wasn't too excited of going to see Germany either, but I dragged him along nontheless. :P
In general he liked it but he wouldn't go with me again anytime soon, mainly because of the travel costs.

Maybe you could convince him if you told him how important it was for you :huh:
After all, if money isn't an issue, it's just a few weeks.

In Topic: New In Bkk. Looking For Friends

I think there are plenty of things you can do in Bangkok besides drinking - but to be honest I can't think of much. :huh:
Having Lunch/Dinner, Picnic, Bowling, doing Sports are the only things I can think of.
Friends of mine went wake boarding and go kart racing - I've never tried it though, but it sounds like fun.
Maybe anyone has better ideas? :D

Personally I don't like partying and most young girls or guys in Bangkok seem to be only about that.
I guess it's all about finding friends with similar interests which can be hard at times.
I found my friends at Uni, so I can't give you any good tips on how to meet people. I totally agree with you that it's
a little hard to find foreign friends with similar interests.

On an extension of stay the rule is that when the reason for the extension is no longer there, your permission to stay exipres the same day. So the day you finish oyur study would be the day you have to cancel your permission to stay.

You can go to Vientianne and apply for a double entry tourist visa, that means two entries of 60 days each. Both entries can be extended by 30 days.

Fistly, thank you for your reply.

So my permission expires the same day and I would have to leave the country the same day? Or do I have a 7-day-time-frame like for work-permits?

Isn't there also a 1-year-tourist-Visa where I can leave the country each 3 months?

If not, each extension would be 1,900 Baht at immigration office, I assume?

Sorry, for asking so much, but I've never done border-runs or lived here on a tourist Visa and I don't know anyone who currently does.

Chestnut.
