Re: Problems with Living in Vietnam

I'm wondering if a person from the west can really feel at ease in a nation that technically isn't free. For instance, in Vietnam or China, for that matter, you might find that web surfing is heavily censored and who knows what other laws could land someone in hot water. I didn't know that web surf...

Re: Profile photo

Go to Profile in the drop down menu under your name (in the top right-hand corner of the forum). Next, click on the link which says Edit Profile. Finally, a thing for editing an avatar will be on the left side menu. That's all that is needed. However, one problem that might come up is the photo siz...

Re: Keeping myself safe

Now, I won't be the first to admit that I like to let my hair down on a Friday night. Have a few drinks, maybe some wine, and enjoy the street atmosphere & the vibrant nightlife Thailand provides. And then, after a few hours I may let my pants down! Ok, i exaggerate. But as a women living alone...

Re: Trouble with the Law

I think you should always be street smart and aware of your surroundings. Don't let people goad you into fights or situations where things can get twisted and you get blamed being the foreigner. It is easy to stay out of trouble, but once you get into trouble in Asia, especially in Thailand, you ar...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home

I'd ignore racism. We have come long way from stereotypes around the world. Never make your opinion based on what you see on TV. As you can guess this has only made it worse for each other. We should ignore racism as much as possible. More we pay attention to this the more it increases. Stereotypes...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

I don't think clothes are expensive in Thailand. There are lots of markets and malls which sells cheap clothing. You might try Platinum Fashion Mall. There are lots to choose from, with clothes from Thai designers. You might visit markets too where you can buy a lot of nice clothes that are afforda...

Re: Does anyone know the regular process to get a Thai Visa?

Good thing, the Filipinos don't need a visa in order to visit Thailand, since it is also a country in Asia.

Besides, there are similarities between the look of a Filipino and a Thai. Even in some foods, they have the same dishes, just different names though.
