Visa rules will be tightened to stop abuse Maximum stay of 90 days for foreigners
By Chatrudee Theparat
Visa-on-arrival (VOA) regulations will be tightened for nationals of 41 countries to prevent abuse of the privilege and curb the rising number of illegal entries, according to the Immigration Police Bureau (IPB). Foreign nationals from those countries, including the US, China and India, will be able to stay longer but with fewer chances of renewing the VOA.
IPB commissioner Suwat Tumrongsiskul said nationals from those specific countries are currently allowed to remain in Thailand for 15 days maximum after the VOA is granted. The VOA is normally renewable once. However, some foreigners including tourists ''tiptoe around the law'' by resorting to so-called visa runs to extend their stay. Most take a bus to a border, check out of the country and then return the same day to have the VOA renewed.
They repeat the practice as many times as they wish, affording them almost unlimited stay in the country. The policy is largely intended to serve tourism.
Pol Lt-Gen Suwat said the change of the VOA rules is in order.
In future, foreigners from those 41 countries will be able to stay in the country for 30 days from the first VOA stamp, which will be renewable twice at most, each time for a maximum of 30 days. In other words, a foreigner will be permitted to remain in Thailand for no longer than 90 days in total after three VOA stamps.
The commissioner said the current system is prone to abuse as many foreign nationals make numerous visa runs so they can stay on long term to do business. In some cases, they have gone unregulated, causing social problems.
Official figures showed that about 400, 000 Chinese nationals were granted a VOA last year, and 18, 000 of them have stayed behind.
Around 200, 000 Indians made VOA visits last year and it was found that 16, 000 of them have not left. Pol Lt-Gen Suwat said the new VOA rules will be put into effect once approved by the Royal Thai Police Office. He said more information technology will be employed in the blacklisting system. The IT-operated immigration clearance system is now in use at 15 out of 55 checkpoints nationwide to check in tourists and screen out undesirable individuals. The technology lets the bureau enlarge its database of foreign visitors to identify those on the blacklist and expel them.
Pol Col Ittipol Ittisarnronnachai, head of the Pattaya immigration centre, said its IT-operated database is shared by many hotels and resorts in Pattaya to help track down blacklisted people. The technology has been credited with weakening the local mafia network.
The Betong immigration centre in Yala is also using the system to trace people of dual nationality, some of whom are believed to be behind the southern strife.
Pol Lt-Gen Suwat said more authority to issue visas will be delegated to regional IPB offices. At present, IPB chief inspectors are authorised to grant visas, and in future their deputies will also be able to approve visa requests

Arrivée à Delhi: conseils sur les horaires English translation pending
Bonjour à tous !
Je suis sur le point de prendre mon billet pour Delhi.
Arrivée le 22 mai à 5:30 du mat' heure locale... question toute bête : fait-il encore nuit à cette époque et est-ce "prudent" pour un premier voyage en Inde, en solo à priori pour le moment en plus, d'arrivée à cette heure-ci ? Je m'attends à un sacré choc en arrivant à Delhi donc je préfère tout prévoir pour que l'aclimatation (aclimatement ? 🤪 hum hum...
) se passe le plus sereinement possible !
De plus, me conseillez-vous de réserver un hôtel à l'avance ? Je pense que j'aurai le temps d'en trouver un pendant la journée, mais bon, je prends tous les bons conseils !
Same thing pour le retour le 28 juin, départ à 00:40 de Delhi... je partirai probablement plus tôt avec un taxi ou quelque chose comme ça, et après je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de problème à attendre dans l'aéroport, si ?
Voilà, questions bêtes mais qui me turlupinent un peu ! Merci d'avance,
Bonne route

Descente de l'Amazone depuis le Pérou English translation pending
Je viens de passer 1 heure a répondre en detail a une question sur la descente de l'Amazone en bateau depuis Iquitos jusqu'à Belem (en venant du machu-pichu). Après un tel élan d'écriture (exceptionnel pour moi !) je pense que les infos peuvent interesser pas mal de gens. Donc, voici une copie de ma réponse (en anglais pas parfait, desolé !):--
Well this is exactly what i have done 1.5 yaers ago. It was really fanstastic as you see some of the amazone affluents near machu pichu and it's amazing to think you meet the same water 3000 km later in Iquitos ... until the Atlantic sae if you patient!
Well, you really need time in fact, but you can stop in a few Amazon cities easily as you have to change several times to other boats.
The price of the plane is higher in Brazil than in peru, so if you want to keep some time, it's better to fly in peru and use boat in Brazil.
I remember the price for a Cusco -> Lima -> Iquitos ticket was 128 dollards with is quite few if you consider you fly maybe 2500 km over the forest (with is really impressive). Spend a while in Iquitos (2, 3 days) and you can do some better Amazonia excursions here (5 to 10 days and more) than later i think as the forest is better conserved here and it's less touristic. Once in Iquitos you have to go to the Brazilian frontier (laeticia / Tabatinga) witch is in fact the same divided city): You can use an express boat (8 hours and 50 dollards more or less), or a normal boat (cheaper but 24 hours may be more), or even plane (1h30 and 70 dollards if y remember well). Then you can spend a while in Laeticia(colombian part)/Tabatinga(Brazilian part) to visit too and breeze the Indian Atmosphere. It's a really animated world lost city in fact. Just during the colombian hollydays or Brazilian Hollydays it's more crowded as a lot of colombian come for on of the unique secured colombian amazone start point for excursions (colombian/Brazilian hollydays usually in Jully and December ). Seems there is some good excursions too here but some are returning close from Iquitos so it's better to do them there (in Iquitos). From Laeticia/Tabatinga to Manaus, you have 2 options : By plane from Tabatinga Airport (more or less 300 dollards one way to Manaus for 2 or 3 hours), or by boat (100 dollards, for 4 to 5 days with food included on board, in "Hamocs" class like most of the people !). This can seems long, and it can be for some people. But if you like to meet people and speak spanish or Portugues you'll enjoy it (like me!!). The boat is sometime far from the border of the river, and sometime close so you can or can't see o lot of things, but it stops in a few small lost cities (yes cities ! with no roads going to them!), and people are coming in while other are leaving the boat each time, so it's kind of animated. When i was there, there was colombians, Brazilians, europeans ... a big mix and i really spent good days speaking and drinking (a little bit! ). The boats have usually a few cabins too ("camarotes"), for 2 persons, if you wich to keep your things more secure or need more intimity, but it's twice or 3 times the hamoc class price. They all have bathrooms/toilets (with amazone water) and a bar with music on top. Food and water included, but drinks not. Better to drink mineral water too.
Note that you could cut your trip to Manaus in two parts (more or less equals) and go first to Téfé if you want to visit. Haven't been there, but there is some national reserves and probably good excursions too. Most of the boats stops there anyway so ... you just have to choose your destination in Tabatinga. Once in Manaus, you have to take another boat to continue, so you can also spend some time downtown. It's a nice city, swiming in Indian culture and modern in the same time (because of defiscalization lows). I loved it. From Manaus to Belem by plane : more or less 300 dollards again for 2 hours (more one of timezone change) or .... by boat: 5 days to Belem for again 100 dollards food included. But i think you should cut it in two and stop in Santarem (2.5 days) down on the Amazone river. It's a nice quiet city with nice beach on Tapajos rio "Alter do chao". Then you can easily take another boat to Belem (2-3 days) or Macapa (same duration).
Here : important notice : The PARINTINS CARNAVAL : If you are here at the end of June, you can't miss the " Bois de Parintins", an extraordinary Amazonian carnaval during 5 days in the Parintins Island (down 2 boat days on the Amazone river from Manaus). It's between MAnaus and Santarem so you can stop and continue after to Santarem. It's really incredible and beautifull and may be like the Rio carnaval (Yes i said it!!!) but with Indian touch. Really fantastique. Problem the city of Parintins is small and hotels booked sometimes one year before at really expensive prices! (may be 5 times the normal price and only for the 5 full days of carnaval, not less). If you are in Manaus a few days before, a lot of Amazone boats are stoping there usuals trips to go to Parintins island. You can then book a ticket to Parintins easilly. The price (30 dollards for the cheapers) include usually the return ticket Manaus -> Parintins -> Manaus and you can stay onboard at night to sleep in hamocs during the 5 days of the carnaval as the boats they there during all the carnaval time. Again, there are some cabins too, but with "carnaval special prices" the cheapest are ussually 100 dollards for one persone (this time) and until 400 dollards, for 5 days. If you are in Manaus in time you should go there by boat, sleeping on it, and then continuing to Santarem and Belem. Or you can also catch a plane from Parintins to Santarem and Belem, as i 've done (missing time) but it's more expensive too and you have to reserve early for the carnaval time.
Well, that's all i think. You have also a nice boat trip from Belem to Macapa and return (30 hours) witch goes throw MArajo Island and pass closed from the river border so it's easy too see the Indians small villages and houses.
If other questions, i am staying in touch. Personnaly i had done Iquitos -> Laeticia by plane, and Tabatinga -> Manaus by Boat, and Manaus -> Parintins by boat again ... and finished by plane until Belem. It does 7 days of boat. 5 days of Carnaval and the rest to visit the cities (laeticia, Manaus... Belem) and take plane. I visited Santarem on an other time coming from Macapa so i have travelled all the Amazone until Peru finally !

Once in Iquitos you have to go to the Brazilian frontier (laeticia / Tabatinga) witch is in fact the same divided city): You can use an express boat (8 hours and 50 dollards more or less), or a normal boat (cheaper but 24 hours may be more), or even plane (1h30 and 70 dollards if y remember well). Then you can spend a while in Laeticia(colombian part)/Tabatinga(Brazilian part) to visit too and breeze the Indian Atmosphere. It's a really animated world lost city in fact. Just during the colombian hollydays or Brazilian Hollydays it's more crowded as a lot of colombian come for on of the unique secured colombian amazone start point for excursions (colombian/Brazilian hollydays usually in Jully and December ). Seems there is some good excursions too here but some are returning close from Iquitos so it's better to do them there (in Iquitos). From Laeticia/Tabatinga to Manaus, you have 2 options : By plane from Tabatinga Airport (more or less 300 dollards one way to Manaus for 2 or 3 hours), or by boat (100 dollards, for 4 to 5 days with food included on board, in "Hamocs" class like most of the people !). This can seems long, and it can be for some people. But if you like to meet people and speak spanish or Portugues you'll enjoy it (like me!!). The boat is sometime far from the border of the river, and sometime close so you can or can't see o lot of things, but it stops in a few small lost cities (yes cities ! with no roads going to them!), and people are coming in while other are leaving the boat each time, so it's kind of animated. When i was there, there was colombians, Brazilians, europeans ... a big mix and i really spent good days speaking and drinking (a little bit! ). The boats have usually a few cabins too ("camarotes"), for 2 persons, if you wich to keep your things more secure or need more intimity, but it's twice or 3 times the hamoc class price. They all have bathrooms/toilets (with amazone water) and a bar with music on top. Food and water included, but drinks not. Better to drink mineral water too.
Note that you could cut your trip to Manaus in two parts (more or less equals) and go first to Téfé if you want to visit. Haven't been there, but there is some national reserves and probably good excursions too. Most of the boats stops there anyway so ... you just have to choose your destination in Tabatinga. Once in Manaus, you have to take another boat to continue, so you can also spend some time downtown. It's a nice city, swiming in Indian culture and modern in the same time (because of defiscalization lows). I loved it. From Manaus to Belem by plane : more or less 300 dollards again for 2 hours (more one of timezone change) or .... by boat: 5 days to Belem for again 100 dollards food included. But i think you should cut it in two and stop in Santarem (2.5 days) down on the Amazone river. It's a nice quiet city with nice beach on Tapajos rio "Alter do chao". Then you can easily take another boat to Belem (2-3 days) or Macapa (same duration).
Here : important notice : The PARINTINS CARNAVAL : If you are here at the end of June, you can't miss the " Bois de Parintins", an extraordinary Amazonian carnaval during 5 days in the Parintins Island (down 2 boat days on the Amazone river from Manaus). It's between MAnaus and Santarem so you can stop and continue after to Santarem. It's really incredible and beautifull and may be like the Rio carnaval (Yes i said it!!!) but with Indian touch. Really fantastique. Problem the city of Parintins is small and hotels booked sometimes one year before at really expensive prices! (may be 5 times the normal price and only for the 5 full days of carnaval, not less). If you are in Manaus a few days before, a lot of Amazone boats are stoping there usuals trips to go to Parintins island. You can then book a ticket to Parintins easilly. The price (30 dollards for the cheapers) include usually the return ticket Manaus -> Parintins -> Manaus and you can stay onboard at night to sleep in hamocs during the 5 days of the carnaval as the boats they there during all the carnaval time. Again, there are some cabins too, but with "carnaval special prices" the cheapest are ussually 100 dollards for one persone (this time) and until 400 dollards, for 5 days. If you are in Manaus in time you should go there by boat, sleeping on it, and then continuing to Santarem and Belem. Or you can also catch a plane from Parintins to Santarem and Belem, as i 've done (missing time) but it's more expensive too and you have to reserve early for the carnaval time.
Well, that's all i think. You have also a nice boat trip from Belem to Macapa and return (30 hours) witch goes throw MArajo Island and pass closed from the river border so it's easy too see the Indians small villages and houses.
If other questions, i am staying in touch. Personnaly i had done Iquitos -> Laeticia by plane, and Tabatinga -> Manaus by Boat, and Manaus -> Parintins by boat again ... and finished by plane until Belem. It does 7 days of boat. 5 days of Carnaval and the rest to visit the cities (laeticia, Manaus... Belem) and take plane. I visited Santarem on an other time coming from Macapa so i have travelled all the Amazone until Peru finally !

Myanmar agrees to release Aung San Suu Kyi--source First posted 09:30pm (Mla time) Dec 13, 2005 By Maila Ager INQ7.net
KUALA LUMPUR -- (UPDATE) Myanmar has bowed to pressures and agreed to release pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a top Philippine official said Tuesday. Myanmar Prime Minister General Soe Win “accepted it ” as he pledged to take concrete steps toward democracy in his country, the official told reporters covering the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit here. The ASEAN has recently abandoned its policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of member states and pressed Myanmar’s ruling junta to release Suu Kyi from house arrest and institute democratic reforms in the country ruled by a military junta for close to two decades. At the same time, Myanmar was open to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's suggestion to bring the issue before the United Nations Security Council to give Yangon a chance to explain its side on the issue, the official who refused to be named said. Myanmar's refusal to embrace reforms or free Suu Kyi dominated discussions within the 10-nation bloc, which had pressed Yangon to demonstrate actual progress on the ground. The official said Arroyo and Soe Win had discussed about Myanmar’s situation "lengthily and seriously” at least twice at the sidelines of the 11th ASEAN Summit here. ASEAN leaders on Monday agreed to send an envoy to Myanmar to look for signs that the military rulers are taking steps towards democracy. Since Myanmar joined the bloc in 1997 -- with strong support from Malaysia -- the international community has criticized ASEAN for defending Myanmar despite its lack of progress toward democracy and improved human rights. Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel Peace laureate, and her deputy Tin Oo, have been detained since May 2003 when a pro-government mob attacked her and her followers as she toured northern Myanmar. Her house arrest was extended by six months in November. Myanmar's current junta has been in power since 1988. It called elections in 1990 but refused to hand over power when Suu Kyi's party won a landslide victory, saying the country first needed a new constitution. In 2003, the junta unveiled a seven-point road map toward democracy and convened a National Convention to draw guidelines for the new constitution, but no timetable has been set to complete the task.
