The great visa agent debate

Why so many expats just don't get it

Spend enough time in any Thai expat Facebook group and you’ll eventually stumble into the trenches of one of the community’s most divisive and oddly passionate debates: using a visa agent versus doing it yourself.


The bureaucratic runaround

And all for the love of a good woman

With just over a month left in Thailand, having sold my motorbike and soon to be leaving my apartment, I met the new love of my life, which suddenly threw a spanner into the works. On our last day, we went to all our favourite places before sharing a tearful goodbye at the airport.


Perspectives

It all boils down to how you look at things

As much as I love Thailand, I often find myself complaining about living here. I notice that many of my friends do the same thing. Most of the time it is just harmless chit chat, but sometimes I find myself talking to people who really do not seem to like anything about Thailand.
