For many with Work Permits, one of the various requirements for renewal is that your show your PD 90/91 to Labour before they’ll authorize a renewal (assuming you worked in Thailand in the previous calendar year)

That requirements hasn't been in effect for many years now, at least at Chiang Mai Dept of labor.  I've been renewing for decades and never asked for it.  Similar when you were required to show you paid taxes at the airport before leaving.

didn't notice that some loan shark is operating at least for 12 years.

The same loan shark doesn't necessarily hold the loan for that long but sells/trades it to another shark.

 First talk to your local immigration and ask if it's OK to put 800K in to the bank for 3 months prior the change of reason on your non-ed

I've had 800k+ in my account for many years so not an issue.  But I've read you have to have proof of it coming from abroad.  Mine is from salary earned in Thailand and I believe that is acceptable?

It can be done, I went from a non-ed to a non-o myself.  First talk to your local immigration and ask if it's OK to put 800K in to the bank for 3 months prior the change of reason on your non-ed or use an agent.  Note, some immigration offices can do it and some won't, as it's at their own discretion.

Thank you.  👍

Are you saying you're working at an University with an ED visa and a work permit?

The visa for working is NON B.

ED visa is when you're studying something, not working.

Exactly what I'm saying.  I'm assuming it has been allowed as I am working at an educational institute.

The 1st 10+ years, Chiang Mai was not authorized to approve extensions based on work and was sent to Bangkok and I would get a 30 day waiting approval stamp.  Then when Chiang Mai immigration was authorized I received extensions for the next 20 years from them.  So both Bangkok and Chiang Mai immigration considered it valid.

So you have a Non B 

No, I have a Non-ED and want to convert to a Non-O.

I've been working at a university in Chiang Mai for 30 years.  I have been getting an extension of permission of stay based on working at a university and work permit renewal annually for this period.  My entry into Thailand was on a non-ED when I was offered a position at the university.  Just renewed my passport for the 3rd time and all 4 are stamped (transfer stamps to 3 of them) with Non-ED.

Now, can I convert the Non-ED based on working at a university to a Non-O based on retirement in country?

Appears he rear-ended a parked pick-up?

Or, at the speed he was going and looks like a big bike, it shoved the pickup up the curve.  The damage is to the rear right side of the truck which would cause the pickup to be shoved left.

Even China does a better job.  lol

It was a guy making rockets - it was not a "fireworks factory." 
 

From Thairath translated to English. "From the preliminary investigation, it is known that The factory has been making fireworks and firecrackers for a long time. And during this time, there are a lot of orders for fireworks and fireworks. "

"The scene of the incident was found to be a fireworks and firecracker making factory "

How to see my cost/unit?

Assuming you get a bill direct from the government and not the inflated prices found in condos. 

Example bill:  Take the total cost 2392.93 (base + FT +VAT) and divide by number of units used, 563 in this example.

There is no right or wrong in Thailand. It is every one for themselves. Lorry driver simply went throo a red light!

Might want to look at the photos again.  The lorry was going through a green arrow, the MC was jumping a red light.  Notice she is already out into the intersection but the MC drivers were still waiting for a green light for their side.

Besides that if a car is 5 years old he needs a paper that things are checked on the vehicle

Safety inspection is 7 years for a car, 5 years for a motorcycle.  No idea about a lorry.  🙂

Probably waiting for taxi to push the automatic open/close button for the door and decided to catch a snooze.

 

I have heard that in Japan after a night of drinking they sleep it off on a bench or somewhere before making it back home.

They have capsule hotels for that.  lol

Did the Chinese Nazi party sponsor the funeral?

You are probably already aware of the symbol in reference to Buddhism.  However, just in case.

"The word “swastika” has Sanskrit roots and means “the mark of well being.” It has been used in prayers of the Rig Veda, the oldest of Hindu scriptures. In Buddhism, the symbol is known as “manji” and signifies the Buddha's footsteps. It is used to mark the location of Buddhist temples."

Found the supply of happy gas.  lol
