Re: Koh Tao ferry fire

It happens. That wouldn't stop me from taking a boat though, neither in Thailand nor in Cambodia. There are other (more likely) ways to die, like on the roads. When your number is up, off you go.

Re: Crossing into Thailand

You can ask. Worst case scenario, they say no and you go back to Cambodian immigration to cancel your exit stamp. He would not even get the exit stamp. Cambodian immigration are fully aware of the Thai rules. Richard has the only answer - get a Thai visa. Well based on my own experience at land bor...

Re: Expat Youtubers

u live in Cambodia but u'r watching some random bloggers talk about the country?? What’s wrong with that? Just like living on Soi Cowboy does not provide all the beauty Thailand has to offer. I like watching the Russian guy who was raised in an Irish boarding school get settled into his new life in...

Re: Crossing into Thailand

Foreigners from a 3rd country cannot get a border pass. Opinions on whether Thai immigration is "flexible" about the two visa exempt entries per calendar year limit at land borders are mixed. There have been a few reports over the years. It might be as inconsistent as many other things wit...

Re: Is it possible to open a bank account with an annual visa but without a rental contract?

If opening a proper bank account proves difficult without proof of address (I'd still try the ABA head office, they should know their own rules which are posted on their website), you could try getting a Wing wallet. I got mine when I had nothing more than a tourist visa, they're probably still more...

Re: Is it possible to open a bank account with an annual visa but without a rental contract?

I opened my ABA account with just my passport, which at the time had a 6-month extension of stay in it - that was important. No further documentation was required.

Re: SERVICE-appartement in DAUN PENH

Perhaps you should have a look at the Sunway Hotel on St.92 facing the US embassy. Now the Sunway have a large panel outside in the parking lot advertizing a section of the hotel as Service Apartment for long term leasing, great area if you like to be away from noise. I MAILED SUNWAY and get a repl...
