Better you than me!

;)

there's some bad advice here so i'll try to clear it up.

the border runs are much harder now. it wasnt 3-month renewals, it was 1-month, but they changed that to 15-days and 4 stamps maximum (or something like that). you can get an initial 3-month visa from your local Thai embassy (DC or LA is good) but then they are doing what they can to make your stay short after that.

the basic thought of Thai police, bar girls and Immigration is farangs are fine as long as they don't stay long and they spend all the money they have while in country.

its a different story if u are married or retired, but then u better have a lot of cash. they require a fresh truckload imported every year. thailand has the toughest immigration laws of any developing country i know of.

working is no big deal. no one will even ask you on your short-term visit (except maybe a bar girl). i wouldnt try shooting porn without some payoff money on hand. the only thing u can really go to jail for in thailand is drugs. everything is just a payoff - if u get caught.

u should be spending some hours on thaivisa if u are worried about anything. most of the guys on there have been in thailand for decades.

one of the easiest visas to get is an education visa. is the muay thai school accredited?

enjoy your stay!

use a VPN and go around telling everyone what you do and youre all set

Sorry but that is plain wrong.

If you have any kind of multiple entry visa it is 3 months renewals.

The 15 days is only for those doing land runs after their 30 day on arrival visa expired.

Fucksakes said 3 months + 3 months so a double entry tourist visa is all he need.

Scorpion Gyms is one of the most famous gyms in Pattaya.

I know Scorpion gyms, I've trained in Thailand for 8 years and fought in almost every stadium.

My advice... don't bother with Muay Thai, honestly, you are here for only a few months you don't want to wake up early morning or go to bed exhausted when you could just be enjoying yourself :thumbsup

Im going Pattaya in nov 29th...

My second trip to Pattaya and there will be more...I just love it.

ah got it. so how does he get the +3 without a land run? they said on thaivisa that you have to now fly out and back in? road borders wont give +3 or even +30days?

im not sure how the short-termers do it. im on a marriage visa lol

You get 3 months (2+1) when you still have a valid multiple entry visa.

On Thaivisa they are talking about people who have no visas and only get a stamp on arrival.
If you are coming in with only your passport, you get 30 days by air and 15 by land.

I guessing though that fucksakes will go to a Thai embassy and get a proper visa before coming :thumbsup

cool. just saw this:

I don't think you will get a non immigrant visa to visit friends from any consulate in the States.
The best you can probably get is a 3 entry tourist visa which would give you almost 9 months without needing a new visa. You would have to get a 30 extension of your first 60 day entry then leave and re-enter using your 2nd entry then extend again and use your 3rd entry just before your visa expires.
You could apply any of the honorary consulates that you cam find a list of by using the pull down menu on this webpage. http://www.thaiembdc.org/AboutEmb/EmbDirect.aspx
It is best to get the longest term visa you can get in states to avoid having to make visa runs to get another visa even though you might not use all the entries because it would save the cost of traveling to get another visa if you don't find work quickly.
If you find work you could then go to any nearby consulate and apply for a B visa.

That is what I've been saying man, all he needs is a proper tourist visa.

For 6 months a double entry with the extensions is enough.

ya just wanted to add a link for further reading :thumbsup

(we all know how fucked up thai immigration can be!)

Can't argue with that but they do make it slightly easier for genuine tourists like Fucksakes.

really ? where have you been precisely ?

everything this guy says is just plain wrong and idiototic just ignore him. not slappin fish, the other guy.

yuppers.

my friend said in thailand they have buses that will pick you up drive you out of thailand renew your visa and return the day after.

really? im IN thailand. where are u, dumbass?

Yes, but only for a 15 day extension if you just show up with no visa. You can rope-a-dope the system though, there are LOTS of companies that will do that for you here. Run to Laos (or wher eever), get X amount to time, extend at Thai immigration, do a border run, blah, blah. All kinds of ways to extend your visa. Like everything else in Thailand, it's only money.

There are many ways to skin a cat, and Thai cats are quite easy to skin. :2 cents:

I want to move there!

grats bro! good luck

that trouble in thailand series is pretty cool. I just watched all of them, thanks for the recommendation.

One day I'll visit thailand for sure :)

So running affiliate operations (not shooting content) would be fine in countries like Thailand and China as long as your a tourist yes?

good luck with that

NO! It is illegal. However, how is anyone going to know unless you run around telling everyone what you do? Thailand does watch the internet, but not very close. Use a VPN or don't do direct loads to and from porn sites, and you should be OK.

China... they monitor their internet much more than Thailand, so you may have a better chance of getting caught there. The last time I heard of "webmasters" being arrested in China, they were given 7 years in prison.

Tip, when it goes wrong when you are looking at porn sites (you always can say it was a pop-up spam). Tell the police you don't want to go with them to the policestation, but you are willing to pay the policeman the fine, so he can make the payment for you. 99% change he take the money (and he won't pay the fine, but put it in his pockets). The same when you get arrested during a traffic accident, visa problems, drunk in public, or when you are on a full moon party and smoke a joint. A friend of mine paid 5000 dollar after he took a joint on a full moon party (got it from an undercover policeman). Another one got 10 years for 1 gram coke. When it realy goes wrong, i will visit you at the Bangkwang prison. Another friend wrote a book about his 10 year stay in that prison, he got death penalty but received a King's pardon.

When you live in Thailand working on porn sites and someone finds out, 99% change they use it to blackmail you or let you arrest bij a cop (and share the bribe).

Sweet jesus....fck

Wanna share more info on the name of said books please? :winkwink::thumbsup

hello USA VPN's and shut your mouth about what you do to people around here and you're fine... 99% of the ppl dont even use VPNs... unless yer shooting content you're not in any major risk...

visas.. see thaivisa.com i know ppl who've stayed on IMM B visas for many years... just get them at a consulate in your home country they give them easy..

it's great to live in a 3rd world country... things are cheap, the food is awesome and you are free to do whatever you want.
but no matter what, you will miss your homeland, so DONT BURN YOUR BRIDGES!

also, dont tell ANYONE that you work in porn. No girlfriends, no friends, not the maid!

hmmmmmmmmmm

ok so.. I got my visa and that was very easy to get.. fill out this 1 page form that took less than 3 mins, it cost nothing and I am allowed to be there for 2 months leave for 24hrs and return for 2 more months. that is on a tousist visa which they give out for free.

Ill def stay outta trouble there.. I dont do drugs thankgod.

At the end of the 2 months you can go to the immigration office in Jomtien and for 1900bht get an extra month before you need to leave.

You can also do that at the end of the second 2 months.

So in effect with the visa you have you can stay 6 months (2+1) + (2+1) :thumbsup

Last time I was in Thailand was almost 20 years ago. Even Pattaya was nice then. Lifetime ago.

Hi!

Sure you can to work on your adult sites from there.

The most important things in Thailand are: Cheap Fuck, cheap life - cheap drinks,,,

Be aware of Guerrilla groups and and pocket robbers :):thumbsup

Good lcuk!

If its something you have always wanted to do you will LOVE it! Muay Thai is pretty kick ass too! Good luck

The Damage Done is a nice book to read when your in Thailand.
Don't get in trouble in Thailand, just enjoy the beautiful country and follow their rules.

I am planning a visit to Alcatraz in december. When you want to visit a famous Thai prison with inmates still there, go visit Bangkwang. In Guesthouses there are a lot of posters from people staying there and are looking forward to a visit. And yes, 99% of them deserved a sentence.

thailand is a great chicks country

I had a triple entry.
After 2 months I went to the local immigration office and got another 30 days the fee is 1900 THB and another 100 THB because I did not have a photo, quick and painless process except for the 70 miles each way on motobike.
You can get the extension a few weeks before your 60 day visa expires but if you visa expires January 17th then the last day you are allowed in the country Jan 16th and its also the last day to extend the visa also your visa have an Enter By date you must enter the day before this date to activate your second 60 days visa.
You don't have to leave for 24 hours just head over the border and back 30 minutes later that what I did on one of the visa runs, there are different companies that offer visa runs to Cambodia and its fairly painless.

anyone got a place to rent?

Take me with you, please ....... :)

Thailand
 

Whatever you do, don't shoot there, or the chances are you will get in trouble. Just don't tell anyone what you do and you shouldn't have a problem. I worked on my sites there. Nobody is going to come looking for you if they don't know what you do. But keep in mind it is illegal!

even if you were a hot chick.. Id say no way.

Thailand is dangerous. I've read books about it, and the advice is - don't go to Thailand. Bangkok is dangerous.

You've read about it???? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Some people like to read about life.... other's prefer to go out and experience it....

It's pretty clear which one you are...

nice thread, just heard some stories. If you have a drink at the beach at night with a unknown girl you could wake up in bathtube filled up with icecubes and one kidney less. But don't think that this usually happens. The islands like Koh Samui should be worth to visit. However nice progress reports here.

yeah Ive seen movies too.. bangkok dangerous lol.

I am looking for an adverture. will be my first time on a plane and 14hrs away, will be my first time outta my country, first time for alot of things.. definatly going to have alot to talk about and remember which is exactly what i need.

reminds me when I was going to move to the states and I was looking at the local paper online of the crimes from the day before. ppl robbed, stabbed, car stolen, drugs, gangs etc and im thinking holy shit I don't want to move there.. I live in canada and I can leave my doors unlock, my car running.. but shit happens here too.. my cousin was killed by a gang with machettis supposely over 100 bucks and a girl, probably drugs as well.

If I look for trouble im sure I am going to find it, and well if im a kidney less at least Ill have a great story to tell people like you..

hell in canada girls will rip your heart out ;)

Fucksakes... I think you'll love it.... Just go with an open mind... it's certainly not like the west and a lot of times it feels like a different planet.. :)

Myself.... I love thailand... especially Bangkok... despite the crazy traffic... the strange (sometimes pungant) smells... and the locals trying to rip you off... it really is an amazing place....

I'll be there in december again.. and I can't wait :)

:( ok, then I'll just have to move to England and all the hot chicks over there......

you should just probably keep to yourself with regards to your profession just to be on the safe side!

I know a guy who lost his EYE during a "pussy show" in Bangkok. The girl hands out balloons and she blows darts out of her pussy and pops them from across the room. She missed and the dart went right into his eye. He is now minus an eye. If you're going to lose one, what a great way to do so. Nobody ever believes that is how he lost it.

The kidney thing, lololol, no worries. Maybe that happened once (or 10 times) here a long time ago. Or maybe that was last year. I can't remember. Either way, they are nice about it and pack you in ice so you live.

If I wake up with a girl in my bed in Thailand, after a night of drinking, the first thing I do when I wake up is... reach between her legs and do a "cock check." If she has a cock, then I reach between MY legs and do an "ass is sore" check.

You gotta be careful in a land where the men can be more beautiful than the women. :2 cents:
