It's a Holiday in Cambodia! (not really)
We went to the Immigration Office in Bangkok today to renew our Visas for the last month. As it turns out the Denver consulate gave us the wrong Visas. We can get a seven day extension at the office, and that's about it. This is of no help to us as our trip back to the U.S. is a month away, and our Visas expire today.
We have another option however.
So, pretty soon, Danielle and I are getting on a bus and riding four hours to the Cambodia border. We will cross the border, and then return back later on. This will give us another month on a tourist Visa.
This is called a Visa run, and honestly it is a bit shady. I read up on this before visiting Thailand and the government has been passing laws restricting and unrestricting this activity so many times that it's really a big mess. However most foreigners seem to have no problem with this, and a few boxers at the institute have done it before as well.
Wish us luck, I'll post when I'm back in Bangkok.

Good luck with that. I hope everything goes well for you. You should take that up with the Denver Consulate when you get home. That is pretty crappy.
Keep us posted.
jesus.....good luck please dont end up in the special meat dish at some obscure outpost village. *hugs*
i miss you guys lots
actually it really is a bit of a holiday (time-off, vacaiton, intermission sence of the word) in Cambodia. That sucks that you have to go, hopefully it will be a fun and easy trip :) Good luck!0 I listen to so me Dead Kennedy's for ya.
I'm tired but I'm back. I'll make a post about it.
my girlfriend in europe did that the whole time she was in england for over a year. every month or so she'd take a side trip to germany or france or whereever and voila new touristy goodness. she then lived in ireland for about 4-5 months and i think that was good i don't think she had to run away or anything but now she's in italy so it has started all over again. although i'm not sure if this is an easy in asia as it is in europe :P ~heaTher
