  1. Thank you too! I was also told to wait patiently. As I have frequent company business travel, I wonder what is the procedure if I am scheduled to travel on the particular day, especially as they give a very short notice. I don't want to rely solely on the SB case officer's advise, has anyone been in this situation? Or should I stop all travel and wait for the call? Can't afford to make a mistake after having traveled this far.
  2. Or just "Pithi Thawai" would convey the meaning
  3. พิธีถวายสัตย์ปฏิญาณตนเพื่อแสดงความจงรักภักดีต่อชาติไทย
  4. I would recommend any of these 3 Phulay Bay, a Ritz‑Carlton Reserve Banyan Tree Krabi, Tan Kaek Beach Dusit Thani Krabi, Khlong Mueang Beach All have spectacular ocean view rooms, swimming pools and all amenities within the resort.
  5. I have not received any call till now. I will also check with my case officer at SB on Monday. Thank you very much for this news, I hope it is true.
  6. I wish your parents had this wisdom!
  7. Blatant lie. Show us credible proof of just one (1) serious oil spill in the Gulf of Siam in the last 2 years. Or even 5 years.
  8. Too little, too late. This has been going on for over 6 months with huge crowds of desperately poor and also those from lower economic strata queuing up for their Iris scans in exchange for some digital crypto which would then be sold to middlemen at a hefty discount as they would not know how to encash crypto.
  9. Eric, this could be the reason you are so stressed!
  10. Calls for a big party!
  11. I called the number two times but they were not able to give me any specific information and just asked me to wait for being called. 😔
  12. You are correct, but it is not pronounced as the English word 'sat' nor does the Thai pronunciation rhyme with the English word 'cat'
  13. Some of the world's best parks (Lumpini, Benjakitti, Suan Rot Fai, Bang Nam Phueng etc.), widest variety of the best cuisine & wine from all over the world, a fantastic MRT & BTS passenger commute system, theatres (Ratchadalai, M-theatre etc), 20 or more British & IB curriculum schools, amazing variety of shopping malls, Grand temples, friendly locals, world class coffee shops, very safe etc. In fact, all of my business visitors from all over the western world envy us working in Bangkok office buildings like One Bangkok, Dusit Central, Mahanakorn etc. The traffic is as bad as in any big metropolitan city, the footpaths are very badly maintained, the roads have many patchwork repairs. I don't visit so I won't comment on shady redlight areas & bars.
  14. Thank you, I will do so when they return to work after the long weekend.
  15. I have a pendulum too, it gives me immense pleasure. But sorry, I can't post a photo. 😝
  16. As an ordinary person, I have no high level contact at MOI who can give me an informed answer based on facts. So I just wait & pray.
  17. Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, ...and a hundred other countries do not have a welfare system. Except for western nanny states. Do they all become prostitutes?
  18. Reading the title, I thought you were referring to Trump. The way he has been behaving, Trump could anoint himself as "The King" of USA.
  19. He can become a beach road ladyboy
  20. "Kaur moved to California in 1991 to escape political unrest in Punjab, but her repeated attempts to secure asylum failed. After her appeals were denied, Ms Kaur remained in the US, unable to return to India due to missing documentation" It is the faulty system in western countries that need to be fixed to prevent undesired immigrants taking advantage. She should never have been let in or should have been deported when the asylum request was denied first time. Throwing away or destroying your documents and then staying illegally for 30 years is inexcusable. Of course, she should have been treated humanely.
  21. Hedonism also includes intellectual/moral pleasures and not just base/physical ones.
  22. At 17, I was still living with my parents. Both of whom were most helpful supporting me with everything as I prepared hard for entering University to get an Engineering degree. At 18, I was the last of their 4 children to leave home. Life has been mostly good since then for all of us siblings and our children.
