   Interesting! I have done many searches on Thai Visa and never ever had a   
     error, especially one as described above. It's been one of the more   
   reliable websites related to Thailand. Seems funny that those outside   
   LOS would have problems since the website is mirrored across servers in   
   both Thailand and Singapore. That alone would preclude search exclusions   
   based on a country locale as there would be built in a "fail over"   
   strategy.  It's also strange that every IT technician ever mentioned in   
   SCT seems to be named Jerry.
