  1. I see a double standard, their dress isnt a full bikini the top yes but their bottom from picture no! What they did prior to sun bathing but the attention is what bothers me the criticism by some Thai, these are the racist, prejudice, ignorant that like to spend time pointing out anything small or large foreigners do that isnt in their rim of norm. But are so disensatized to their own short comings. A photo op, 3 police, full investigation tracking them down as if some heaven to god rule was violated. In my years here I've visited close to a hundred temples not being religious but respectful to religion it is a business nothing else. Ive seen Temples offer up their properties to hold events to generate money that includes a full area with a massive stage, sound system,table where alcohol was being sold dancing entertainment with girls wearing far less and dancing as if they were at a sex show with underage girls dancing as if they were drunk by of a pickup truck during Songkran. Whoever these Thai pricks getting over it.😂
  2. Not as strong white or yellow bottle pink is for color clothes. I use that method but here some stains are easy somevor not I neef to use a brush most of time .
  3. The interview is pretty much determine prior to the interview. Questions asked is to confirm the application information. The comments I like is have her bring your passport and a letter as stated for insurance have it certfied by a attorney international. There are interviewer who will be a Bit arrogant not want to be contradicted will not look at document regardless have it. Aside from you being married 15 years maybe I missed it how long you been living here purpose and Visa type. I ask because as another they want to see a anchor for her to return especially if you are sole supporter. For example if you have a Immigration O retired and Thailand is your home she having a passport travel outside of Thailand in the past those are all plus. Personal story in the days when we were allow to go along the interviews the applicant was refused, wife 5 years, husband sole supporter refused ask why no anchor, explained he wad living here past few years retirement visa, reversed granted. Good luck, have a great trip.
  4. Looking for votes? Maybe start by giving all Brits my buddies living in Thailand a cost of living increase yearly. Stop targeting them so government can fund their pet projects 🤑
  5. I think we might be on the same page. Being a Chinese American I noticed the poor the masses and from your posting, you aren't talking about them. The more you talk the more it is clear you are talking about your situation and if you haven't heard it before " Bangkok is not part of Thailand " Thailand's funding is based on the size of the registered population and the size of Bangkok they are getting the majority of the money from the country. From personal experience, the education system is far better in particular funding than the majority of the province which there are 72. I don't dispute the school system is far superior to why several Thai families I know from Pattaya after a certain age sent them to Bangkok. Even Pattaya, in the economic zone, gets a waiver more money due to the tourists the government schools are far below what Bangkok has up country it is worse since the population is less thus less funding in general. Teachers can't teach anywhere they want they are assigned to each province from my understanding. You speak of Bangkok and your daughter's situation I've seen it firsthand in general myself. My brother's oldest daughter half American half Thai thinks like a Chinese, not many parents in Thailand think the same as how the Chinese think in general education is life or death. In the city where I was born, parents would lie and steal for their kids to get into a certain public school and buy a house in that zip code so they could. I know a former City Supervisor who went to jail and lost his position cause he did this so his daughter could get into a particular school. Call it what you want to label it but as an Asian stupid me I thought all Asians thought like me but not here it is keeping up with the Jones, partying and drinking is their priority. My Brother's daughter has a 4.0 average his first kid in the U.S. at 4 was told to be a genius and she attended a public school experiment where her whole class was segregated from the rest of the school population majority of their studies were beyond the teaching of teacher they brought in professionals from Stanford to teach the math. She was awarded a full scholarship to MIT, Harvard, and Yale, but instead wanted to stay close to home so she attended UC Berk. What you talk about in Thailand seems to be part of their culture with the poor it is even worse with the poor today it is worse with the Internet. In my son's situation, many around him finish school with basically a B.A. yet what is their best option 7//11 ? His wife from a government school has a master's in accounting can she get a job at a Bank NO! reality you got to know someone and better come up with 200,000 baht to get that job! This country top to bottom is nepotism and who you know. My brother's daughter found that out a long time ago as she attends a full scholarship to a college in Bangkok " Rangit " She tells me she is out of a place student friends from better-off family doing as you noted. She once talked about getting into politics and said good luck she told me I was right I responded nothing I would like better for you to be PM, if I had the resources and an Army I would take over this country for you and hand it on a silver platter. She indicated she has one year left when done she is leaving for China which she knows is part of her future but says she is Thai and hopefully she can return and make a difference one day. I tell her if not you got your U.S. passport because there isn't a future in Thailand.
  6. Yellow Tail When my cousin took a leave of absence from Mac, he got married he and his wife traveled around the world for a year. Both were highly skilled in their profession when they returned I think he went back to Mac, after it closed they were still in the military business thereafter he went to NASA, and his wife hooked up with the Forty Niners medical team thereafter went back to being a researcher at UCSF. Later he said he was going to work for a guy named Musk, one visit back home invited him to his home for dinner he had one of those sport-designed electric models being charged in his driveway the cost was 100,000 USD. I've read about movie stars buying these models. He talked about the amount of stock he was getting each year bonus a few years later his wife quit work her salary was 6 figures from family rumors she became a real estate broker and started her own company selling luxury homes in Silicon Valley and investing. She didn't have to work 9-5. Today, their home is much larger all their kids are grown professionals who attended public schools but of course, public schools in Silicon Valley are a whole different ball game.
  7. We can tick for tack all day if you want to use your point of U.S. Ive been to Phil, no family but for some work, family in New York. Chicago. L.A. Oakland all in the inner city public school. As for the metal detectors who cares once inside you there to learn and that is what my family did learn. Regardless of decline in U.S. the teacher are educated certified can teach any any International school in Thailand, which one of my cousins did years back in Chiang Mai. Teachet have more freedom to teach and speak out there is very little in Thailand reason Thai dont lead they follow. My two nieces I referred to them their parent came from China, I help sponsor them with my parents. Both stay at my parents home for a year while working washing dishes they struck out on their own buying a affordable condo in Black ghetto area. They were harassed and push around daily when they haf their two girls attended predominate black student population. With 4.0 graded they got tested and accepted into a top public school in the country. This entire school is loaded with 4.0 Students and yes they have metal detectors or police on compass yet they learn and got scholarships to Stanford. Thailand public government schools the poor the majority cant do what you do or live where you live they dont have the option. In my village Thai not a gate community I see kids 5 walking around during the day because family cant afford to senf more than one to school not even money for the uniforms. My Thai wife was such a case big family she was 5th after a few years she was yank what she learn came from her older brother and sister. Public government school in general Thailand id going nowhere for the masses. Nowhere sadly!
  8. I have a huge family tree back home that tree starts with public school all of my cousins, their kids, public school. Nearly all are professional , Doctor, Lawyers, my niece two girls 18,22, both got full scholarships at Stanford, tuition is 70,000 USD a year. The oldest graduated with honor and was highly recruited to do research at UCSF. One of my cousins started with McDonnell Douglas Engineer space division left and went with Elon Musk startup he recently retired driving away in EV truck loaded with his stock🤣 They all came from inner city public school. I was offer a great education public school unlike my cousins while they were studying I was out breaking into peoples homes🙄 Every expert inside of Thailand who isnt afraid to speak and outside express nothing will change to help the masses in Public schools unless they make a major change and Thailand that isnt going to happen.
  9. I'll take a wild guess, the pick up truck is most likely a manual. Proper driver training the reason there is a stop sign prior to the crossing you stop prior to proceeding depending on size of vehicle have to make sure in front there is clearance once you proceed must clear completely. In my testing for commercial drivers when manuals was pretty much only choice road test 1st time testing I fail 90% shifting to higher gear while crossing the chance engine cuts out is high so put it in first and roll through in thst gear no shifting in panic they flood the engine.
  10. These stats are misleading when you talk about the poor pure government schools they arent the ones winning these awards. Many of these winners come from well to do family having money so their child can attend these event. Thats my two baht!
  11. My own experience it does, it makes a difference whem you turn it on. There are time I obtain the website then notice my vpn off I then get my psssword etc rejected. I close the website then with vpn on Return at time got to go through the security routine. Knowing this I switch my phone duel sim to U.S. then reQuest the code. Remember to have them remember the device.
  12. If it was medical keep it that way but Thailand open this can of worms not for the reason. Im sute those who want it will use that excuse to no end. Revolution, this is just another reason to fatten that brown envelope.
  13. The truth will set you free! Was that not covered at the temple by the monks?🤔
  14. I thought he was sick. Is police Hospital now the PM office🤣🤔
  15. Not true, there is a separate room today for 90 days. No longer parking lot as you face the main building first room is 90 days. I just happen to be down there with a friend he was in the information room so I was roaming around happen to be in the 90 day and overheard the discussion felt sorry for both parties because girl must heard it a million times. With all thevother copies they want you to fill out a TM 47 which I believevis the 90 day form.
  16. There is an inconsistent process with Jomtien I've seen the chit-chat in regards to showing up with just your passport. And to be honest they have a point! To do your 90 report before for reasons if online not being accepted now they want you to have a copy front page of yourself, your passport, TM-30, the recent 90-day slip, and Visa I think which is already in their possession and the passport. So why the redundant copies? Why isn't this all being asked to be uploaded online? Why only in person? I do my online wTM30 requirement I thought and heard it being requested uploaded but no, did it as usual and it went through?
  17. One thing for sure there are lots of people from different parts of the world. While they liKe to do their thing they forget to chill themselves while they like to correct and ask othets to chill. I simply posted about access to a restaurant to only have it high jacked because I wasnt cleared or had mispelling so when you talk about chill? I ask how important was it? that It pulled you from pouring wine from ones cornflake.
  18. I appreciate the concern of everyone of finding the need to correct and control things. My ego isnt that big that I cant take the criticism of being corrected that is the way I learn even at my age. I dont need to go over again as to why things are the way they are but being corrected isnt going to stop through embrassing remarks from what I might have said in the past that bother some from posting in the future. But if people want then should correct all the mispelling which Mr. Rimmer missed. Maybe I gave some too much credit I just assume it was clear " more choices " open cheap charlie " to let those who like the place down on Soi Buakhao that live on Darkside need not run down to all the traffic now. it was not my intent to drag C.C. through the posting mud over spelling and grammer the posting was about more food choices. It is very clear in the rules of posting grammar, spelling, isnt a priority. Also clear is stalking other poster because of disagreement in the past using spelling and grammar as . your weapon. You might think you are doing others a favor by pointing it out but personally it is more harmful to this website reason there is such a rule. if this such A major concern the Thai government can use your help with teaching at their government school. I will try to do better from your criticism but dont hold your breath🤣
  19. NoT sure what you looking for? if you think there should be more clarify yourself and educate me as to how it should be posted. Instead of constantly running your mouth with your finger being a keyboard coward. We have been through this before about your expectation that posters have to be exactly like you which only a fool would want to be!
  20. Cheap Charlie on Soi Buakhao! There is one now on the Darkside Soi Khao Noi, bit dowm from Tops opposite side.
  21. Why speculate go in immigration Wai, slap yourself in the face tell them what happened ting tong see what their response go from there. 🤔
  22. Get a lawyer! Stand by while autopsy is perform should free or hang him unless they get it out of him with the plastic bag. 🤔
  23. My 2 baht! I have a Yaris, 1.5, today you can still get a Yaris for 650,000 baht. i also have a Toyota Hilux 2.4 E 2x4 Auto 7 speed Diesel and a 12 passenger van. living in Thailand although it might be City driving you just never know? Must expat dont buy trucks to work or go off road. Out of all the vehicles is the truck a bit bumpie but so is the Yaris. Bigger is better? I find the size to be an advantage on the road with Thais then I noticed gas mileage is much better and cheaper larger to me bigger motor translate to everything bigger which is the A/C, although the Yaris is well maintained I find running the fan at 3 to be comfortable whereas the truck at 1 is much colder. Smaller engine waiting at long lights,idling, long trips takes it toll. My truck is E, 2018. Price at 890,000 got it drop to 855,000, if mainly two in front should be ok draw back I got a big hog for a daughter in law sucks up all the A/C coolant for my son cause there is no AC vent for the back. If you want you need to move up model G 960,000
