Cool, and You sure will see me In Raiders shirts. I'll be there I think from Feb.8- Mar 10. Or i leave on the 8th so I'll be there the 9th or 10th depends on how long I stay In BKK, but I think I'll just stay for a couple day's before going on down to Pattaya. Maybe I'll look you up before I go and I'll buy you a round or two. This will be my first trip to LOS.

Thanx again, I found out I could get a passport within 24hrs thanx to that site above, but can't do anything about my Visa till I get a passport. Alway's something huh with Red Tape BS. Taking care of these passports/Visas seem like more work or hassle than learning about the country your touring, J/k. But I know It will be totally worth It. OMG I have the Pattaya Blues and I havn't even been there yet Once I get this passport stuff done and Pattaya booked, It's all down hill from there, well until the long dreaded 25hr flight.

Once again thanx, I had no idea It involved alot or some time to get one. I've only read alil about It, but thought I could get one In a matter of day's or so though or actually within a week. I did figure the post 9/11 would be alil more time or paper work, but I will get started right now so I can book everything together. Did not know Airlines needed passport Info. even to get on the plane. Got some good deal quotes, but none of em even mentioned a passport # or anything, but I'm sure you guy's know. Since I know for sure I'd qualify for getting a passport and WoW, good for 10yrs. Another question that I have Is can I get a visa for longer maybe like 2 months or so just to be on the safe side, cause I usually go where the wind takes me and may want to stay a lil longer. I just love havin fun way to much. Maybe I should start a new thread, but got every answer that I need here, so I'll just stay so I can PDF the whole thing as one. Thanx for all your help guy's and I owe you one, two, three, Ten, Twenty.

But I am not going till Feb. just because Football season will be over then, It shouldn't take that long. I actually downloaded the DS-0011 Form, but got to see If I can just print It out and use that or do I need some special govn't form. Had no clue some Airlines would not make a reservation without a passport # or whatever. Now I know.

Thanx Zeus, great advice. I'm only 30 well In a 16 day's 31, but I am not In this technology world so to speak which I should be. The other day I just found out what an IPod was, I do have a Mac and use It very well, but have never used a PC. So I will ask my bro about those headphones since he's a technology & comp. Wizard. So they will have us fill something out on the plane before arriving to BKK, what Is It. I thought getting a passport and paper work done before that took care of all that. I've never had a passport before so still got to take care of that before I go.

Trust me I have no fixation on ladyboy's what's so ever, I just heard that that Is a Pattaya Initiation from the Vet's out there for a good laugh, that's all and would not want to be apart of that Initiation, LoL, especially being drunk or something. Although I have a great sence of humor so no worries.

Well I did join the Members area finally, but wanted to say thank you so much. A totally great post you gave me and to other's I'm sure. The longest flight I've ever done Is 2.5hrs from L.A. to Colorado and Vegas ect. I do love flying, but I don't know about 25hrs or so, especially without smokes. I am not looking forward to fly 25hrs, but I know will be totally worth It when I touchdown In BKK. I'll definitely try to look you up for some beers. Also, I do not want a ladyboy ,LoL. Well, thanx again guy's for your Info. totally appreciate It.

Do they really show American Football there? Awsome, maybe reconsider when to go exactly. Also, no way I was planning to bring 10,000usd In, I'll just use the ATM's. Was asking about hearing something about 10,000Thb worth to bring In Thailand, meaning valubles such as Computers, video cameras, Cameras and luggage all equalling 10,000Thb. For me that would be Impossible since I want to capture alot of Thailand and of course the night life, just don't know how people get there nuddy Pix. out of LOS, LoL. I guess they really don't check huh.

Thanx guy's for all your Info, It's great. I prefer to be there In Nov.-Jan., when It's probably the coolest months, but cannot miss the football season and playoffs, especially the Super Bowl Feb.5. I doubt any American Football on TV In Pattaya. So I plan to come out on Feb. 8 for a month, maybe even longer. Plan on staying In BKK for the first couple day's at the Infamous Nana Hotel then on down to Pattaya. How long does It usually take to get to Nana from the Airport by Taxi, anyone know?. Oh man after a 25 hr flight I'll be so tired. Has anyone flown from LAX?, How do you cope with flying, no smoking, and really can't get drunk on a plane to cope. Also, If anyone Is down there during my time and want to show a Newbie all about this playland, drinks on me, just please no trying to hook me up with some ladyboy, for a laugh, LoL. Heard that's the Initiation for you vet's out there. Thanx for all your help guy's.

Yeah It was 10,000Thb max amount to bring In or something. Also, has anyone been there middle of Feb.- middle of Mar.? How's the weather at that time and of course the nightlife?. Yep, Raider Fan all the way, Go Raiders. I like soccer to.

Hello, Total Newbie here. I'm going to thailand for the first time from the US. I want to bring In a digital camera and a Camcorder or video camera. Would this be a prob. at the BKK Airport, cause heard something about not bringing In more than 10,000Thb worth or something like that, which my shoes cost that, LoL J/k, I mean I'm confused with what I can bring and not. Right On
