  1. Lacking clear info,  Based on posting Did he not obtain letter from Embassy to have stamps transfer? 

    Bank passbook isn't tied to the Passport number old or new. I just Thursday took my new passport to my Bangkok branch with my old passbook and ask for a letter. This is a bank not immigration I seriously doubt anyone knows what the stamps even mean. 

    Years ago I was renewing my Thai license 3rd time, I went down immigration and got the residential certificate at the DLT, clerk ask me to run across the road and copy a page with a stamp.  I ask her in Thai why and what you need this stamp purpose to confirm what that is immigration job reason of the residential certification. I politely as to speak to so and so,  all of a sudden they request was withdrawn.

    Which immigration office.

     

    Why not using online for 90 day report if travel is difficult.

     

    Why would immigration want to see 800k in bank. Smells like Jomtien. 

     

    Smells like Jomtien! 

    I got a new passport end of last year had the stamps all transfer without ever being ask for bank book.  

    Same ten years ago. 

  3. Until ten years ago I never had a clue Chinese New Year was so popular here in Thailand.  Reason it isn't Thai N. Y. I always left for

    S. F.  a day before it was celebrated quietly compared to here. I think mainly the generations today are not taught culture and tradition is dying. Home walking through Chinatown rarely can you buy a New Year T-Shirt if you do no choice I have family ordering from me to bring them back but you can get 6 Tee for 20 bucks of S. F. 

    I just hope the popularity doesn't end up throwing water like Songkran????

    Interesting. The Chinese govt restricted travel to/from China when Covid was high around the world. Now, most of the world has recovered for the most-part yet the virus still rages in China. Even still, China drops a travel restriction thus allowing their infected people to travel and reinfect the rest of the world for a 2nd time. Too bad the Chinese govt can't be held accountable for allowing Covid to begin in the first place.  

    True no one country has seriously even try to hold them accountable I read over 20 trillion they have cost?  If the world hasn't learn from this that China has made us powerless economically. We are basically their bitch that includes Thailand near the top. 

    To remain in power their protest and the world joining in to criticize Xi,  he gave the world this time what they wished.  Run Forest run! 

    He can't be blame this time. ????????

    This was a civil, not criminal case, there are no sentences due, nor judgements of guilt, just a court order.  

    Yes that understood civil but was there any criminal charges prior or after to the act. 

    Money was order to be repaid but the act is criminal the question did they just let it go? 

  6. At Chon Buri, Pattaya, it was a few years back I did both as you noted, someone said I needed two residential certificates. I think it must have a photo like Passport someone here told to just make a photo copy I took a step better and paid the 30-40 baht for a color xerox surprising it was better than the original. I submitted it had no problem.

    I don't remember the list included a physical?

  7. TikTok,  isn't that Chinese a spy agency? 

    How he made the money at his age is an non issue. Being rich doesn't mean all broken as in cells are rich too. 

    Looks like what happen to him Thai girl friend is what happens to so many that get here forget how to use their brains. 

    Lots not right although mentioned a fancy showroom sure could fool a person not a sand lot a whole different story! 

    Like motorbike lots of independent dealers buy bikes then sell them for a bit higher charging a higher interest on finance. I'd this whatvitcead even then the warranty as noted is in affect. Where he purchased did they have a service area or told nearest authorize Porsche where warranty would be honored. If used then the mileage or signs of being used. 

    Big red flag is when it broke down who did he call that told him let it cool down. It was picked up and fix then broke down again who or whom shop that did the work.

    Now the registration book not the year they claims it to be but he like the model and what it offers?  

    Was this car purchased on the grey market cause nice showroom offered to buy it back at 12 million on payday it now is 1.5 minus some crazy 9 million plus tax? 

    My view is I can see why he is connected to TicTok maybe he should hook up with TingTong. 

    On the surface his Thai Lawyer?? Raised flags too?

     

    I was told by a big lawyer in Thailand when you got resources like money forget the courts especially if you aren't Thai.  Do what I would do in situation like this I took that advice results are much quicker and satisfying LOL

    Get some Toyota! 

  8. Based on Thailand governing system segregation like everything in regards to DLT and police will fail. 

    As noted in this story key words " eventually "  no way to check by the time they do it is too late.  Outside of BKK what are the chances of getting stop and if you do see any manner how they will check.  Can't enforce what you don't know.  

    Overall, replace is the only answer but I guess more money in a band-aid approach.

  9. As noted it is happening way before the Chinese came.  All this talk about immigration visa money corruption sure the little stuff adds bit it is nothing when a guy at the top say do this for me. 

    When you talk about Grey businesses all those bars and gogos I suspect aren't all in foreign name.

    Put them all together it doesn't make a dent as to what the triads have been doing if you forget just their little investigation they have reach out to 32 plus provinces. 

    You can dig into the Bang Na area outside Bangkok the growth of all the hotels and Condo developements where all that money was coming from you think Taiwan since there is a huge populations you think they aren't part of the triad link. 

    While Visa and bars bring in millions we are talking trillions the changes in directly with pot, gambling, during covid the invite to people spending 40-50 million investment guess what that was all about.  

    Believe what people want BJ (LOL) is nothing but a PR he had been already officially remove from this case just helping as they say.  Even in Thailand it well be thrown out of court majority of seizure are done out of speculation " share holder " once they see those names at the top and who it is link too the door will slowly close like everything.

    The only reason this is news is because Former Massage King and MP snitch play second fiddle to the Chinese Triads he had to wait for his table at his favorite bar LOL,  the question is it too late to turn it around?  ????

    H1 is counted as 11 seat, the middle front row doesn't count here, 

    your blue plate for 'up to 11 seats' are legal to drive with normal licence, no need to worry about that. 

     

    If you ever got stopped by some clever policeman and asked about the missing seats, the expected reply is that it's broken and being fixed... that should get you off the hook

    The reason I contacted the Hyundai HQ and requested if they had the older models. One of the main reasons was the seat configuration was completely different than the new generation I went back down to take another look one day and they had taken all the old models away and brought in a new set of H-1 new generation. The seating was less and no flexibility like the older model being old school everything now was digital, keyless, not even a transmission shifter, the deal breaker my rule never buy a new generation too many problems?

     

    The row behind the driver you can reset so they are facing the rest of the passengers with your back to the driver.  Each row starting with front ( driver ) you can fold down so you can place your drinks and charge your phone push a button the back flops up and sit in the middle (seat belt provided ) this goes for the middle row, 3rd row, final row taken out middle sitting all of head rest and belts. It definitely is a 12 seater without any doubt.

     

    As I noted, I been stopped a number of times going up country to the farm never more than roll my window down and them looking in then wave along even with the red plates.

     

    Thanks

  11. Don't mess with Putin!  ????  I've been telling people stay away from those Kiosk selling Brownies?

     

    Something not right a 50's something working in a 7/11,  then you got people saying Tourist police the regulars never show up until it is over expect nothing less from the Tourist.

    Bravo,  to the motorbike taxi guy who tried both I'm sure both will be compensated if well,  it they got 200,000 for a dancer I'm sure this will be lots more????

  12. Not sure of it's weight, but it is van Hyundai H-1, for sure it can seat 12. I had the dealership take the last row out for storage. 

    As I noted plus too late now it was paid in cash register to my Thai wife and I know no such questions We're ever asked.

    Lots of information as to what it suppose to be but who is going to check?
