  1. Sometimes its just the price of convenience...paid it myself before and done...move on to next square.
  2. Elephant in room = thousands of Burmese construction workers as Thais won't do it.
  3. See how long squeaky clean BiB habits last at checkpoints...will soon revert to the old ways once tourist shakedown is far enough in rear mirror. Dog and pony time.
  4. Can see why big porridge was shuffled away from immigration at first attempt...he's coming for EVERYONE including immi. officers..haha.
  5. You can't say 'Mr' either - just non-binary gender fluid.
  6. You go out of your way to get an METV and you get that...says it all. I only have a tenuous link to Thailand now..if that goes, I'm off to fresher fields.
  7. Failing your contract, 3 days of advance reservations on booking.com worked for me for METV....unless that has been tightened since last year.
  8. She's right, I always get faster service than Thais but I am paying double or triple unknowingly to an ear-to-ear smiling Thai....thinking "Stoooopid farang, you deserve it !". Actually joking aside -I always found Vietnam way worse and more blatant on 2-tier pricing.
  9. Is Mae Sai not open now...that would be easier and cheaper and a more regular out/in same-day avenue. Can look like a junkie pit at times, but man are Burma immigration super nice and friendly..then you u-turn to "America's most Wanted" scrutiny on Thai side...STERN...haha.
  10. When I inquired about residency cert. last year they were only giving it out to longer term visa holders..I was METV at the time trying to renew driving license...not sure what visa you are on at present..sounds like a dilemma...you might get banking, but not residency cert. at least not without an agent.
  11. One new visa stamp policy change step too many ? We've all been there.
  12. ..in that case the forum would be closer to North Korea than an open forum for expression of opposing opinions ?
  13. I thought you were not being serious with your 2% comments...
  14. One man's rubbish is another man's deportation order.
  15. Who told you that, a flying pig ?
  16. Yes, we know that but he mentioned BENEFITS being GENEROUS....that was what I replied to..nothing more.
  17. If you think you can survive on £70 a week on unemployment benefit with food costs going up along with heating costs on average £2500-3000 you are joking...it's either food or heat for those breadline...generous...what a joke... My UK place in 20/21 for gas/electric about £1700...now 22/23 it will hit £3000 a year for same useage.
  18. I don't meant to keep it active I mean to get 2-FA passcodes to check a UK bank account.
  19. I guess you can receive banking SMS this way to keep UK account live/manage it ?
  20. Was the illness he suffered the junta adding a zero to their entry fee ?
  21. Should put QR codes on the uniform of cops and be legally allowed to scan it...haha.. that will soon stop these soi dogs and their antics.
  22. Seen my fellow westereners doing this on the big roads... 'When in Rome' mentality.
  23. Walking ...? As he certainly was not <deleted>.
  24. Based on what info you have ? I doubt there is a blanket ban of any sort, only hassles at various already known crossings....
