Thanks. Yeh I just saw this on the canberra embassy. So I suppose applying for it from Laos with no Laos documents would be problematic.

What if you have a multiple entry re-entry permit and you want to scrap it?

Seems like it is early days and nobody knows wtf is going on. The website itself functions which is quite a surprise but despite that it's amazing how much of the details are not clear at all. The website has no real details on what specific documents are needed. I begun an application purely to see what documents it requested and it is no clearer than before. I'm not sure even visa agents know wtf is going on. None of the websites I went to had any updates on the DTV. The Thaigers own page on it somehow manages to construct a full page story repeating the same paragraph about 10 times with no real specific information other than the basics of what has been known for weeks now. Someone wrote in these forums a couple of days ago that it is only extendable once? I assumed it would be as many 180 day entries as you like within the 5 year period? There is already a pinned thread on this but I really hope that someone can put a more specific guide together somewhere on the internet without all the noise, chatter and speculation. I was actually thinking to post a similar thread to the op as I have a developer portfolio but have no idea if it is a pass or not. 10,000 baht is quite a fee to gamble just to find out. The website seems to indicate showing a portfolio of some kind is enough but then elsewhere it says a "verifiable contract of employment" is required. "Dcoument indicating current location" - What is it. What is accepted. Who knows? If you do the Muay Thai or cooking route what is needed? A document saying you have paid for 6 months of classes or a few weeks? What document? I guess it will all come out in time. This is the last page of the application process for the digital nomad/ freelancer category.

That's strange. Wheres the 10 moto taxi guys appearing out of nowhere for this one. I guess they only come out when it is 10 of them vs 2.

I doubt some immigration staff will be happy with this. Less bureaucracy means less extensions, less processing, less visa runs, less cash for their pockets.

I liked the world better before the internet.

If this were 2 Thais it wouldn't even be worth recording for the sly person filming. It would be a fart in the wind. Not national news headlines.

Good luck with that

Yeh where those visas at bro

That's got to be reassuring when your compatriot tourist police officer is also wearing a badge representing a local tv channel

I'm sure there's a Chinese cop shop here to deal with this

My condo has a bad pigeon problem. Condo took no resposiblity for a long time and did nothing. So most people put up mesh. In the meantime I learnt pigeons will come back to roost in an area (on my aircon) even if it is dangerous. That's how strong their homing instinct is. I did make it quite unpleasant for them. The condo ended up hiring a guy who would come in and let his hawks sit downstairs a couple of times per day. Pigeons were instantly gone. Quite amazing. When the hawks go home though the pigeons come back. Now with the hawks long gone it seems we still have an issue but a bit less than before maybe. I tried lots of the methods Thais advocate on youtube. There was one Thai using a laser pointer though. I didn't try that but it looked effective. Kind of. There's so many of them. It's a shame we can't just disceetly shoot them.

Kind of reminds me of this https://thethaiger.com/news/national/spotlight-shines-on-more-shady-street-lamp-projects-by-local-thailand-governments

This is a bit of a tangent. A couple of days ago I passed the law courts. They are huge structures that look like something out of anceient rome with large pillars in front and what seems like 50+ rooms. There is also another one of these huge buildings up near the sarasin bridge. It was a Monday. However every time I go by these places there's not a single soul or car to be seen anywhere. The size of these buildings is striking. Yet they seem to sit empy and largely unused. Meanwhile, this man has waited in prison 2+ years later to submit (in bangkok) a verdict. That's a long time. Justice system speed to room ratio is not really adding up at all.

It's a superstition thing.

"Safeguarding" and "raising awareness" ? Is national fried chicken day part of that? Thought so.

Ah yes, the "debut" of the electronic gate at suvarnabhumi for about the fifth time now. It's like they built a spaceship or something. "Look at our amazing gate again"

As bizzare and nonsensical as it is to have young children impaling themselves and marching through the street walking on firecrackers it is also a deeply embedded part of Phukets culture. Not all things make sense. This is one of those things.

It will take 20-30 years at the rate they work. It literally took them about a year to fix (apparently, lets see) the drainage near tesco on corner of bypass rd before Chillva market.. They literally had one side of the road blocked for a year to work on that 100m stretch. There's prob about another 30 places at least that need this done. 1 year * 30 = 30 years.

This is an issue in Canada at the moment with a trans man being allowed to share the change room with young girls from a Junior swim team. Not ok.

For anyone from the future viewing this. I ended up having it removed at Aspire clinic phuket for 10,000. This included the removal, medication and pathological analysis. The funny part is that I spent a few weeks deliberating if to get it done at kathu dermatology for 17.5k or aspire. Then one evening upon closer inspection I realised both clinics operate with the same surgeon just different pricing.

I had a cyst develop on the femoral head and a labral tear that required arthroscopic surgery. The docs in phuket said only a few surgeons in Thailand can do hip arthroscopy and sent me to Dr. Winyou in samitevej srinakarin. I had quotes from Bumrungrad and Samitevej and they were basically the same. I documented the experience online. Let me know if you want a link. It was generally positive but not perfect. Particularly the post surgery rehab plan etc. You want to make sure that is clear. In my case the Phuket and Samitevej Doctors were buddies. Narong and Winyou and another in Phuket whom I forget the name but have in my records. Winyou is quite well known as an ajarn and lecturer amongst other hip surgeons in Thailand. I think he was also medical director at Bumrungrad previously or something. So I did intial consultations in Phuket followed by video conslatation with Winyou. Followed by succesful surgery at Samitevej and post surgery follow ups in Phuket. You don't mention the issue so I can't comment specifically but I would opt for Bangkok if I were you.

Ferritin.

I received a replacement card sent from europe via dhl last week and have had the same many times. Just an electronic signature and collect it. That is all.

Semi-speculative. However, the "taxi" in the pic certainly is a bolt / grab car.
