There's still one of those guys left on Patpong, I see him in the Pink Panther on the rare occasion I'm down there. Older Thai fella, white goatee, rides a Honda Phantom I think. Dunno how much business he gets, if any. Not sure what type of camera he uses either as i'm not a photography buff and even if I did ask I'd be too plastered to remember the info.

The email reminder system failed just recently and caught a few people out, so best not to rely on it.

Of course they do but their target audience doesn't.

That's only for in-person TM47s.

The basics will be fine, a list showing the other persecuted groups and the number of deaths.

could we please have some more details about the 0.1 million non-Jews? they seem to get forgotten about in all the hubbub.

No could be about it... https://aseannow.com/topic/1291384-new-rules-for-opening-a-bank-account/page/2/#comment-18003690

Thanks man, I'll check it out. They got the Japanese beers too I hope? Sorry but I can't drink sake, spirits done agree with me.

Got any sushi joint recommendations for Bangkok? I haven't gotten around to exploring that genre yet although I have had some nice sushi at Sasaya Silom.

Depends on the restaurant. I have it on good authority that casual wait staff at a certain Western-owned international hotel chain don't get a share of the service charge. I've also been told that foreign managers, who are already on decent packages, get a share of the service charge. No wonder the taxi and tuk tuk drivers try to "rip off" the tourists, they're just following the example set by the purer-than-the-driven-snow foreign companies ????

Translate uses part of the Lens however the Lens app itself has additional functionality. Eg. You can take a screenshot of say a product description on Lazada, open Lens and then select the image and translate it and/or copy text. Your can also use the Search function I think it is to do a 'live' translation of text. That was well handy when I was taken to a Taiwanese restaurant in Sri Racha that only had Thai/Chinese menus. Translations aren't perfect but I get by with them as Lens is the only option I've stumbled across so far.

Other way around in my experience. 10% service charge first, then 7% VAT on the subtotal. For example:

Nope, it's 17.7% more. VATis levied on the base price plus the service charge.

Not at my IO (CW)

Darn it! Was hoping for an easy BKK solution, don't want to go to CW for residence certificate. Thanks anyway.

Well done son! ????

Nope. Farang = whitey.

confused. first you say farang and then you say foreigners. which group are you really asking about, whiteys or all non-Thais?

Not me, I always choose the wrong bars ????. I haven't been to Soi Cowboy for an age so some pointers would be great.

DM the names of the bars please! ????

The two girls in the video are not farang.

nyuk nyuk nyuk ???? I'm not married but I heard that if you do get hitched then you should never let her hear about shopping malls. bit hard to do that in Bangers.

I don't know what IO it was that insisted on in person reports, the OP didn't say. Here's the thread if you're interested.. https://aseannow.com/topic/1290795-tm-30-question/#comment-17991651

There's been quite a few recent(ish) posts in other threads that have mentioned Chiang Mai IO are not conforming to the June 2020 update. I believe a few other offices do the same but I can't remember all the details. One chap said that not only does his office want a fresh TM30 after every trip, it has to be done in person, online not allowed.

Lots of places in Thailand are cheap if you live like a local but that's not how I want to spend my retirement. I want to be Puttin' on the Ritz as it were.
