vietnam trip report

my trip to vietnam went like this:
- arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare
- stood in a long line to check in
- handed over my ticket, passport, and royal orchid card at the check-in counter
- was asked where my new vietnam visa was as the one in my passport had just expired
- i find out that there is no new visa and there's absolutely no way to get one on arrival
- went back to my apartment

i really ought to have double-checked the visa, but i'm not happy with the people in my office who arranged my trip as they're supposed to take care of this stuff. argh!!!!!!!!!! the only saving grace is that thais don't need a visa so one of my staff was able to go to vietnam and take care of my customer. was really looking forward to this trip, though....
