longest blogging break and Thailand

Here i am after a decades break....:It has been 3 months since i last blogged, and that s why i have more stories than ever. My trip to India from melbourne was eventful. Especially with the much awaited trip to thailand not tunring out the way i expected. The 1st thing which hit me about authorities at the surnaboomi airport is the ease with which they can answer back with a "no" for anything and everything
one asks. When i was there i asked about options for on arrival visas, the answer given was "no". I asked which realted authorities to speak with,answer was "no". Finally at one instance i asked what do i do now, inevitable "no". It didn't take quite a long time to understand that no is the default answer and not the intended one.
