yes.. it seems you are having the same thing as me. Its like somethings wrong... for some reason im consuming more fuel than before... 

Yes, I was questioning this morning if ptt was mixing ? the fuel wrong or is the station adding water or something.  I am well almost sure they wouldn't.   but geez at 35.83 a liter , somethings wrong.  my car is only 3 years old 2020.

I was just talking about this exact thing with my wife this morning, then I read this here.  I have noticed the same thing for about two weeks now, but with using the diesel B7 ,  from PTT.   I'm only about 5km from work, and i just puzt around the small town trying to conserve fuel,  but my fuel consumption is noticeably up.

You did not change from a non-b visa to a non-o visa. You only changed the reason for your extension from working to retirement.

My non-B was a 3 month visa ,not an extension

I have also changed from visa exempt entry to Covid Extension to 90-day Non-O (children) to 1-year Ret Ext without leaving the country.

 

What's your point?

 

A visa-exempt entry isn't any sort of visa. It's a time-limited permission to enter.

Point is, that someone here wrote that it can't be done

Check your messages, I sent you a link for an agent that might be able to help you.

Well..... laugh if you want......someone here said changing a non immigrant visa in country can't be done.  I have changed from a visa exempt to maybe 10 covid extensions to a 3 month non-B to a Non-O retirement to a Non-O retirement 1 year extension.

Not sure about that. Have asked many agents up my way, Udon, and no agent will touch an extension by marriage due to the heavy scruitiny in the main office in Khon Kaen. They will cop a sling for a retirement visa anywhere in the range of 15-20 k even with no funds but they wont go near a marriage with a 10 foot pole. Which is why i go to Savvanakhet

A co worker of mine just did a marriage extension from many covid extensions  for 20,000.                                      From the "special person" at the Buriram immigration.

Initially only growing plants that contain only 0.2% was legalized, which was essentially hemp, which is only good for making paper, ropes and clothes out of it.  Then they did away with that and the 0.2% rule now applies only to extracts like hash oil for example. The buds, no matter how high the THC content, are still legal, although they recently put buds back on the list of narcotics, which means smoking in public places is prohibited and is punishable by law, plus pregnant women and people under the age of 20 are prohibited from buying and smoking cannabis products. That's how I understood it.

If I may post this link ?  How is this possible ? I really do not understand.    https://prikpot.com/?tap_a=114340-911ad0&tap_s=2932157-79232a     They even deliver COD.

My wife has had some blood transfusions over the years (not Covid related), She is type B, always covered by the 30 baht scheme.

It was self defense by the student. Teachers doing this should be outlawed.

I recall reading here about the Minister of Education last year already made it illegal ? ( not sure of the term used) to cut students' hair. maybe someone can search for it.

No offense, but I'm not sure that matters.   

 

The contract was for X months, and one of the months included in X number was not paid.

 

I think it was 10 or 11........and the contract said it would end at the END of April.  April was not paid.  No school in April, but is that the teacher's problem?  that's not how contracts work.  

 

If your contract states those terms you mentioned, and you signed it, great.  both sides understand.  

 

 

I agree, if the contract says it ends the last day of April then I would also expect to be paid, working or not.

Was it a 12 month or a 10-month contract ?  School is closed sometime in March until May, For example I am on a 10-month contract, So no or partial pay in March then no salary until school starts in May.

I am sorry, I don't think you know what you are talking about. You are making ridiculous statements, many of which look like they have been copied and pasted from somewhere else. ART drugs have been around for 30 years.

 

Majority of newly diagnosed patients clinically at the AID's stage? That just isn't true is it?

 

You know many people who had a CD count of less than 50 when diagnosed? How? you would have to be a doctor or a nurse working in a HIV clinic.

 

2 weeks for a viral load / CD4 test result? Wrong again. Next day at the latest.

 

Your comment of people on ART treatment having a viral load less than 20 does also not make sense. Technically right but generally people on ART zero viral load after 2 to three months

The doctor is correct on the classification. CD4 less than 200 or presence of opportunistic diseases. However to suggest that this is near to death is incorrect. 

The term Aids originated when only monotherapies was in use and used to describe the situation close to death. With the advent of ART this is no longer the case.

I know of many people who had a cd4 count less than 50 when diagnosed with HIV, clinically Aids. Following a n ART regime their cd4 is now above 800 and VL less than 20.

The majority of newly diagnosed HIV patients are clinically at the Aids stage

This is a 100% correct statement...    And yes I do know a person that had a CD4 of less than 50 with opportunistic infections  , with treatment it has been well above 700 for well over 17 years now.

Yeah, I am in the highest tax bracket, I think I contributed my part already. If wish you can transfer it to me. There is so little benefit to paying taxes here as an expat, the one time I thought it would have worked it hadn't

 

Btw, the total bill for whole course of 6 vaccines and HRIG will be over 10k.

 

I only needed 3 doses when bitten by a dog,  think I paid around 100. Baht. And yes, I have the Thai medical that my wife has. I usually pay 30 baht. For any treatment  including medicines.

From what I understand, Farang means white foreigner. if you are black for example you are called a negro, or chocolate!

Indians are Indians and Chinese are Chinese!

I like being called an Alien.   

My sister-in-law calls me farang even after 30 years. Nieces and Nephew used to call me uncle farang now just uncle.

Hmm... well how did I get from a Non-B to a one year retirement extension. ? I went to Immigration asked for a Non-O retirementwith handed over all the paperwork and  1900. Baht. Left with 14 months stamped in the passport.  Amazing

Ohh... I understand you now, took awhile.  I just changed my reason for staying(extension) No visa was needed. I get it.   Sorry about that.

I quite believe you that this is your passport. What I do not believe is that (in spite of various other stamps in the "visa" pages of the passport) you have any Non O visa shown in the photos you posted. Most of the stamps are not visas. It might be helpful to show your passport to someone with a good grasp of Thai immigration stamps and rules so they can explain what each means. This is often helpful in understanding your future options going forward.

 

In summary, the stamps you show are a Non B visa (and associated 90-day permission to stay) issued at immigration in January this year, a one-year extension based on retirement ending April next year, and a 90-day notification receipt from February.
