The term "Black money scam" isn't rascist, its what it actually is, black money in the form of paper died black (by the use of iodine) in the size of us currency which is supposedly only able to be cleaned by a "special liquid" which is what the person is supposed to be paying for. Its such an old scam that i am really surprised that people are still falling for it but I suppose a sucker and his money and all that!! Basically, its all based on the "marks" greed, the more "free money" that the person can wash and make millions of $ from the more they are willing to pay for it. The reference to the 16 counterfeit dollars was probably NOT actual dollars but the balck paper that is referred to as dollars as thats what's supposed to be underneath and, as its cut to the size of the US currency, it is often referred to as USD whereas it should really be referred to as black paper cut in to the size of the us dollar. That would be the reason that no charges are made on it nor the reporting to the us treasury.

Hi,

Just as an update, I went in to Hua Hin Ham, Bacon, and Meat company yesterday and he said he did sell the real clotted cream at times as he had a guy here (hua hin) that made it himself. He said that in the high season, it would be available every 10 days or so but right now, as we are in the low season, it wouldnt bee so often, maybe once in 2 months but at least we, who enjoy the real clotted cream know where to get it form now

Hi,

An easy alternative is to see if the e-trade company accepts payment via Liberty reserve payment. If so, all you need to do is to open a LR account and use an exchanger that accepts bank deposit machine payment in Thailand - there are 2 that I know of that are reliable and both have Kasikorn accounts to accept deposits in to, one is based in Malaysia and the other in Singapore. Once the money is in LR, simply transfer the money from your LR account to the e-trade companies who will then credit your e-trade account accordingly. Doing it this way there is no repoting requirements to anyone in thailand and after all, what people dont know they cant complain or talk about!

Hope it helps,

As long as you have the correct paperwork for the marriage, it is possible for you to change the Non ED over to a Non O and get a one year extension of stay based on the marriage without going out of the country.

I just did the same thing and it was completed wthout any problem whatsoever. Saying that though, I was also at Walen's school in Bangkok and when we (my Wife and myself) went in to the chaeng Wattana immigration they said that they couldnt do it and that I would need to go out of the country to get a single entry non O. We then left Bangkok to another province some way away and got it changed and the 12 month extention done without any problem at all. Therefore, everything really depends on the actual office that you go to, they all have their own rules and procedures that they follow.

Good luck,

We always stay in Chaweng Cove Resotel in North Chaweng. Its a very friendly hotel, right on the beach and has fair prices. We have stayed there 10 or so times and never had a bad thing to say about it.
