I hope this comment is sarcasm! Would you not want access to a lawyer?

I never had chickenpox as a kid. Can I still get shingles??? Asking for good reason. Mum was prescribed opiates but not told about their constipastion side effects. You don't want a colostomy!

Wow, you reach a real person? Miss those old days! I'll try it...

Any suggestions for such, please?

And order the Jersey Tomato Pie!

Such honest conduct should not go unrewarded. A plaque & medal just don't cut it!

Betong hotsprings are awesome! Don't eat steak...or donuts!

Skype has been my go-to. Mobile phones do not accept reverse charge calls when calling banks & companies. What service, at minimal charge or free, can one use??? TIA!

Got it, Jack. That must be why they insisted I go home for the previous bankbook. This was my 2024 extension so it must have been in place awhile.

I have not seen such a form, Jack. When I get my bank letter, I ask the bank to make me a photocopy of my bankbook. Of course, as usual, Immig requires original bankbook, too.

I just hope my $20/month SS doesn't go into Musk's account. Manila was very responsive to me, guiding me step-by-step via quite a few emails. I waited until I turned 65. (Wouldn't want to settle for $17/month!) What I worry about is the annual letter. Anybody know what happens if you don't reply? Thx.

Yep, we had to drive from CW to Bangna to fetch the previous bankbook because the new one didn't go back to the previous year. Begging & pleading with a senior officer did zippo.

Plus PR in Japan. I'd like to hear your story!

Who cares? They have the Internet for whatever curiosities they may have.

Uhh, Gulf of Musk&Co... definitely the (brain)dead zone.

If you haven't figured out politicians speak with forked tongues, you shouldn't be voting. They never deliver. (Well, except for the present: we thought he was joking until he followed through on all his campaign promises.) There are no more Democrats & Republicans. Those very concepts just don't exist anymore. Who knows even if political parties will still be relevant enough to rise out of the ashes after the billionaires burn it all down. The Deep State they railed against was actually the Heritage Foundation. This plan has been in place a really long time. Like McCarthy, they were waiting in the wings all the time. If voting could change anything, it would be illegal. -- Emma Goldman

Moi aussi! Just noted three extra pages, no TM30 required.

NOT OK!

The conscientious objectors set a fine example. Israel is wrong to expand via settlers.

Jack, it's true there are extra docs, three pages, in fact. One is a page that one has gone through the document check, as you mentioned, and two more detailing criminal penalties, deportation aso,, bringing the total to five extra pages. Jeez, eh!

For the 3,000 revenge deaths in his so-called war on drugs.

Righto, you didn't come to Thailand for economic reasons, such as lower cost of living? Same for immigrants seeking a better standard.

Most of the stress on relationships are financial and/or infidelity. Yes, there is true love in Thailand. But to work, it has to be based on equality in the relationship. Everybody wants to live with a little bit of padding. That's not greed. Throw in betrayal and...you don't deserve her.

I think it was both, actually. We supported self-determination for Vietnam, did not believe in the domino theory. Nobody wanted to go--war is a terrible thing. Many of my friends went to prison, I was just lucky to get A Carter pardon.

Only the a-holes. I lost two buddies there...for nothing. Of course, the protests ended because no one was being drafted.
