just head out to the balcony and smash some cones with old mate. probably a faster way to achieve enlightenment then that meditation nonsense.

Why would a small-time operation want to eat the ridiculous merchant fees? All that fraud protection blah blah blah ain't free bubba.

Riding around Jakarta on the back of a gojek is one of life's great thrills. Especially out in Bekasi at peak hour, makes Bangkok look like a kindergarten ????

Uber fees are disgraceful, I've read silly numbers like 30%-50‰. Allegedly Bolt don't charge the drivers a commission (another post on here) but I haven't checked out yet because I'm completely hopeless at speaking Thai ????

Nice. That makes me want to use Bolt even more! ????

here's the ELI5: hosting a website isn't free bubba, it's either ads or a subscription model.

Nonsense, Maneerat are very good. Marriage extensions are a completely different kettle of fish to retirement extensions and you know it so stop spreading lies.

I had a dream last night and an angel told me that God doesn't exist. Plus a whole bunch of other stuff that I'll be including in the book in writing. Watch this space.

This is a good read. The M-16 is a corrupted version of the original AR-15 which was specifically designed for the smaller .223 round. They wanted a weapons system that would inflict more damage to enemy personnel than the existing M-14 which used a higher caliber round. "Wound ballistics" it's called, as described in the article you linked to. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1981/06/m-16-a-bureaucratic-horror-story/545153/

Thank Buddha that Thailand isn't going down the European route. They're right to be 'scared' of foreigners and they should do everything they can to not become a basket case like the rest of the Western world.

no, really?

There is no God so it's a moot point.

You can't cut them down to size with Stanley knife or similar? I've don't that before. Or do you mean that the gold-coloured section is oversized?

you don't have to leave the country if you really don't want to ????

That's how he rolls. Take it or leave it.

So why did they pay this girl, were they drink when they processed her claim?

thanks but I don't think the residency is an issue with the agent I use, that's all part of the package. B12.5k is cheaper than Bangkok and it gives me an excuse to visit Pattaya for a few days. also, afaik, Bangkok agents don't get the extension done at CW so I see no advantage to using them.

now you're just being silly

Thanks mate, that puts my mind at ease.

I'll be in the bar whilst waiting to board my flight and will have forgotten all about the refundable ticket ????

I've lived in Bangkok for the past year but my non-O visa/extension was obtained via agent on Soi Post in Pattaya. I'm up for renewal on 30 March, planning on using the Pattaya agent again. If I do that, and subsequently go to CW and ask for a residence certificate, do you think they will issue one or get upset about where I got my extension from? TM30 was done by condo office and I did my first-ever 90 day report via Bangkok-based agent. Subsequent TM47s have been done online. Aussie, so Embassy no use for RC.

I have one of those, they are the business ????

supposedly prices have gone up because of recent issues but I've yet to have this confirmed by my agent as I guess she's super busy atmo

Dude, you can put anything you want on a pizza, there's no law against it. And does anyone really care what they do in Italy anymore? They seem to be stuck in the past so just let 'em get on with their silly traditions and live your own life. For example, if I want a cappuccino with chocolate on top at 6PM, ain't nobody's bidness but my own.

I must be Thai then ????
