ASEAN Visa for Indonesians
Does anyone know if an Indonesian citizen can get the two week ASEAN visa (free of charge) on arrival in the Kingdom? The Visa section on the English version of the Immigration Department website has not been updated for nearly 2 years and makes no mention of an ASEAN visa. The person I spoke to on ...

Re: Crohn's disease
The upshot of the last month is that the Khmer doctor at Rattanak proved to be even more grossly incompetent than I thought. Idiot doctor. :banghead: Was this Dr. Som, by any chance? Sorry, I didn't get his full name as I was too pre-occupied with trying to escape his grossly-incompetent clutches w...

Re: how can some Cambodian business people be so apathetic?
Cambodians are not a very well travelled people. They are in Camnbodia and give a Cambodian level of service. Which by regional standards, is not generally so bad. I recently had friends visiting from Vietnam who remarked how much better the service in restaurants, cafes and hotels is here by compa...

Re: Medical
I think I should see and ENT (Ear Nose Throat) Doctor. Does anybody know where one is located and how much they charge? Sok Sen International Hospital has a Russian, who seems to have a good reputation. I believe it costs $30 for the first consultation and $15 for a follow up. Prices were on their ...

Re: Gadaffi captured
You haven't supplied any info to support the Ottomans 'created' Libya? In fact this is a direct contradiction: Admittedly, present day borders were largely delineated by the European colonizers, however Tripoli was established as an administrative centre by Turgut Reis, as Bey and later Pasha of Tr...

Re: Gadaffi captured
It was an invasion by a foreign power, subjugating and imposing its rule on the inhabitants of a territory outside its own borders. Whatever the semantics, I don't see how that is essentially any different from what the later European colonizers did. In any event, I was addressing your assertion tha...

Re: Gadaffi captured
Libya as a political entity was cobbled together by the Turks and perpetuated by the Italians for their own ends. ... The Turks? How so? The Ottoman Empire was destroyed after the first world war. There were no nation states in Northern Africa then. All the borders in Northern Africa are purely col...

Re: Gadaffi captured
Libya as a political entity was cobbled together by the Turks and perpetuated by the Italians for their own ends. It is no more a 'nation' than Iraq was/is. It is a collection of regional and/or tribal allegiances forced together by colonial interests. As we have continually seen with this sort of b...

Re: Cambodia bans citizens from working as maids in Malaysia
My wife said it cost $500 to the recruiters for the medicals, a placement and fake passport. That's actually fairly cheap. Migrant workers from the Sub-Continent (or their extended families) are usually in hock to either loan sharks or the recruiters for several thousand. The first year or two they...

Re: Cambodia bans citizens from working as maids in Malaysia
How often do maids get gang raped? Apart from Andy's example I've never heard of it. Rape of housemaids does seem to be something of a regular occurrence in the Middle East, particularly in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar (India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines at one time all banned their female citi...

Re: Thai Police Scam?
While still in the cell a police officer brought a statement written in Thai for Sequeira to sign. He refused as he didn’t understand the document. But a New Zealander introduced to him as a tourism police officer and one of the few officials who could speak English, told him it was safe to sign th...
