I may have spoken too soon, thanks tiger. Am under the impression that some nationalities (US anyway) can now extend a 1-month visa-free entry by another month on the payment of 1900 Thai baht without leaving the country. But I think the best way to find out is to go to the Thai consulate and ask them.

@bilingualexpat:I wouldn't call trickle-down 'long-term foresight' - yeah, it happens, but it's pretty minor in comparison to both needs and the amount of capital that comes in.
@cloudtrapezer: the 'thing' I was referring too was the radio telescope, not the hyperloop, which I agree could be called a white elephant. I wouldn't call the radio telescope a white elephant', although its construction, despite the fascination of expanding knowledge of the universe, doesn't represent the very reasonable priorities of most people

This thing may well contribute to the solution of serious problems on earth, but I have a strong feeling that the really serious problems will be given a rather low priority by those who have the power/influence to assign priorities.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
