They are actually asking doctors to stop thinking about their personal income, and to serve in rural areas. THAT is one hard sell, any way you look at. Perhaps some off-setting compensation for doctors in rural areas?

The article says, fairly lucidly, that the time for an election could be quite a way off, so any members will have plenty of time to resign and then run for office.

Is this the reason Thailand is buying subs and tanks?  Are we about to invade N Korea?

I hope not. It would be a costly campaign waged for money and paid for with lives.

What a rip-off. Not only is the demand for diamonds a marketing invention, but diamonds aren’t actually that rare. Only by carefully restricting the supply has De Beers kept the price of a diamond high and conned everyone into believing that they have value. 

 

Well said and quite true. It is also why SA had nukes for a short time (and then gave them back). A military raid on the vaults there would collapse world markets--insanely making it so that artificially rare items are propping up synthetic values that exist only as dots on a screen.

Well.This one prosecution will surely prove the Thai government is stopping human trafficking. And the West will say "Okay". The whole world is a bit of a joke. And a very small joke in the vastness of our universe.

There are a lot of these people here. Why is this one being paraded out as a proof of justice? Just asking....

Remember Christy Brown?

 

Immortalized by Daniel Day Lewis in the film "My Left Foot" which won him an Academy Award?

I have worked with many physically handicapped people in my professional career and I was stunned and awed by their courage.

Well said. Actually, WELL SAID. 

This has grave implications, and is very hard to justify or rectify. Money flows through temples, and this is a very selective scrutiny. The connection to the reds is strong, and in this case damning. Why these monks, this temple, these people? Simple answer. The junta hates them.Duh. And not all reds are idiots or cretins. Yellows are are not all nice people either.

This is a big opportunity for Thailand to show their heart. I wonder what they will do?

Everyone has a pat and childish simple view on this guy. Almost everyone. People love to ignore that their favorite best boys walk away from crime, but this guy gets glued with it. Freaking idiots. I think he was "disappeared legally" because he was allowing the West to influence Thailand. Duh. Wake up. Use your eyes to see instead of your ego, which is ALWAYS near-sighted (myopic). Yes, it's a word. Learn something.

It is like reading an obituary for a man who is still alive.

They said it was perfectly legal. Okay, so make a law that makes it legal to kill pregnant women. The population rose up, and that is both scary and a good thing.

You don't need a visa agent for the Z Visa and you can do it on a tourist visa or visa exempt if you have all the documents.  Chiang Mai is more friendly and less crowded than Bangkok.  You need a Foreign Experts Certificate and some other document (government approved invitation letter or something) from your employer.  Fill out the application, take some photos, and apply, and you'll have it after a few days.  If you have the foreign expert certificate already you are set.  If not you might have to send them documents first.  

 

I believe you have to validate your university degree these days to get it, so if you haven't done that, you might have to go home to do so.  It might be impossible to complete the application from Thailand because of this.

Thanks for the CHiang Mai information. My home state will authenticate my degree as well as the criminal background check. So, it's not impossible, just difficult.  Thanks again, I was gearing to go to Bangkok, and now changed consulate destinations.

This is one of those times I'd suck it up and pay a visa agency to do the deed.

 

They'll tell you what you need, and whether they think they can succeed.  They'll check your documents and tell you about any hiccups.  And they do the waiting in line.  They have relationships at the Embassies and Consulates that we could never develop in one or two visits a year.

 

They also have a vested interest in getting you the visa, since that's how they get paid.  I haven't personally used them in BKK since my company arranges my visas, but CTS (China Travel Services) was always well worth the money in Seoul.

 

Thanks. And I think it's good advice.  Rock on Impulse (they even named a car after you).

Plus another million hits!

No kidding Kudzu...and every link you posted has contradictory information on it, either internal contradictions or statements contradicting the other sites). Even more hilariously, the first three links are general descriptions of how to apply in your own country, with number two being in New Jersey and number three being specifically for Brits.  Dampen down the flames, unless you're trolling.

Does anyone know anyone who has done this?  I have a list of documents from the school, but need details, and info is scarce.

The cause of death was determined to be the abrupt

long fall.

The West has one justified snobbery about this--we do not and do not allow our citizens to be ...

sold.

The penalties are swift and harsh. Not slow and measured by influential figures.

I'm perfectly legal and lecture at a university. But I',m not a good guy or a bad guy.

Will a new regulation make me straddle the border anyway?

This is a great idea! Now the Plantation Overlords can take their sharecropper's rubber and sell it for them, fairly and transparently.

You have to love this government.

It's a legal requirement.

Some genius is going to look at available stock and say, "Holy inspiration Batman. Let's make tires out of rubber again!"

Only nine of 22 got away. That's great. Only about half got out.

Brilliant!

Let me translate the title. "All Tourist Businesses who are not paying Tea Money to the Right People can expect a raise in unofficial fees, with several small operators to be made examples of--or else."

And all eyes turn toward the restive south, full of sympathizers.....and with a border as porous as a plastic laundry basket.
