I feel 3 wise monkeys syndrome coming on.Am i all by myself?

Is the Chinese guy singing to the Thai lady''We're scamming,I wanna scam it with you,We're scamming and i hope you like scamming too''

IMHO The OP is 100% correct in his posting.

If you want to leave yourself wide open to being scammed,then you can only point the finger of blame at ones own self.

“We were engaged in a quarrel and I got very mad, so I shot her. I didn't mean to hurt her.

So he thinks that shooting someone wouldn't hurt them?

Not the sort of guy i'd like my daughter bringing home for Sunday lunch.

I hope the poor lady makes a swift recovery.

Glad its only a rumour.

For a french man,you sure write a decent English story,but if i were you i'd be inclined to listen to Quasimodo the hunchback of notre dame when he said the bells the bells......

Teach them a lesson and shut them down for a week or two and strictly enforce it.Hit them where they like to hit the innocent tourist,,give them a taste of their own medicine and let them sample how it tastes.

Off topic slightly but has Thaksin never landed or resided where there is an extradition treaty between Thailand and that particular country?

RIP and thank God this tragic incident didn't occur when the pilgrimage had begun,otherwise the fatalities could have been far greater.

HI

I'm trying to plan a holiday for my Thai wife next year.I wish firstly to take her to see some friends in Germany for a month,then onto Holland for a fortnight,then finally to the UK,whereupon after showing her the sights,I shall do approximately 3 months work,before returning with her to Thailand.

If i get a holiday visa for Gernany for my wife,will that also entitle her to visit Holland under the schengen agreement or does this apply only to EU citizens?

I understand i would then need a separate visitors visa for her to visit the UK.

My question is would i need to apply for the Uk visitors visa from Bangkok before making the initial trip to Germany or would i apply for it from either the British embassy in Germany or Holland?

I'm a Briitish citizen from birth.

Many thanks.

Why's it always the poor farang that ends up in the s**t over here?

Who is the other guy then that they paraded around all the time. I am confused now.

Yes same as me,who was the guy arrested in the apartments Bangkok with over one hundred officers at the scene or am i missing something here.Can somebody please explain.

Firstly let me say RIP to the 20 human beings who tragically lost their lives.May God bless them.Also I can only truly hope that all the others injured in this terrible bombing are able to make a full and swift recovery both physically and mentally,but I doubt it.

Terrorism can never be justified no matter what grievances the bomber(s) held.As proved time and time again in so many other conflicts,the only way to solve an issue is for all parties, from all sides to get together and talk talk talk in the hope that eventually common ground may be sought.

Terrorism is so easy to achieve,but it's only for the cowards of this world.I'm afraid to say that history will always continue to repeat itself,as people will always fail to learn the lessons of the past,and that is a cast iron guarantee.

Hi again

Just to clarify I shall be applying from the Phitsanulok immigration office located in the centre of town.

Many many thanks for such swift replies,you've been most helpful.

For my case, i applied the non imm o in nonthaburi and we need to apply in another office?.May i have the address of this office. thanks

It would help if you were to say where you are living !

Amphur Muang,Phitsanulok......Many thanks.

Hi

The answer to your question is no,but please spare a couple of minutes to read on.

A friend of mine who had to return to the UK for treatment in a London hospital,due to liver damage,was asked by the doctor treating his condition what he drank whilst living in Thailand.He replied sang som and lao khao.They also asked had he brought to the UK any of his favourite tipple,to which he replied yes.They asked his Mother to bring it to the hospital for testing.They carried out tests on both, and both were found to contain untold impurities.They obviously told him to stop drinking altogether,but said if you cannot stop only drink branded named spirit.Please be warned.I implore you not to touch this rubbish and dont even buy it for a friend to consume,as you would be doing them no favours whatsoever.My Thai wife of 14 years lost her husband at the age of 34 due to lao khao leaving her struggling to bring up 2 kids aged 3 and 1.

My friend however battled his addiction and i'm happy to report,is now living back in Thailand and hasn't touched a drop of alcohol in 4 years.God bless him.

Hi all

I currently hold a non immigrant (o) multiple entry visa based on marriage to my Thai wife.The visa is valid from 10 December 2014 and expires on 9th December this year.I returned back to the UK in April this year and will return again to Thailand on 5th October.I understand that upon arrival I will be given 3 months entry that will take me up until January 2016.I then wish to obtain a retirement visa.I have held the equivalent of more than 800,000 baht in British pounds in my Siam commercial foreign deposit account for more than 3 months.

My question is do i have to apply for my retirement visa before the expiry of my non immigrant visa i.e December 9th or can i apply when, or just before the entry stamp expires in January 2016?Also what documentation other than a letter from my bank confirming the deposit of more than the equivalent of 800,000 baht and the fact that it's been deposited for more than 3 months is required?

Many thanks.

May God bless each and everyone of those people,my thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims families.RIP.

Stay away from that!!

In two years, when it goes bad, both parties will blame you. "But you said...."

Couldn't have given better advice myself.You are 100% correct in my honest opinion.

Quiet similar to a post I wrote yesterday http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/695240-is-now-a-good-time-to-bring-some-gbp-over/?p=7270599

Send the sterling over and change it as you need it.

i was hoping for an informed analysis of the likely prospects for the baht/sterling exchange rate over the next couple of months

i suppose its anyone guess in reality

This is what i've done.I've opened a foreign deposit a/c in pounds sterling.This allows you to keep your money in pounds or whatever countries currency your from.I can continue to send pounds into my pound a/c while keeping an eye on the baht..As you say it's anyones guess,but i think when the USA ends its quantative easing program,forecast to be at the end of this year,the baht will plunge.The USA has already started reducing it by $10 billion a month,from $85 to $75 billion a month,and already the pounds moving in a nice upward direction,so my feeling is when they finally end it,it will be bingo for the pound.

If that fails to happen i've lost nothing as I still have my pounds,and so basically hedging my bets.

There's nothing foolish about those things whatsoever. All bank accounts are insured and property (condo's), as long as they are bought wisely, are easy to dispose of at equal value of better - I speak from over ten years experience here of owning/selling condo's and operating a range of bank accounts..

Advice from a man who told everyone to sell all their UK holdings and bring the money over here at 44bht/GBP (cos it wouldn't get better).

8 months later and 54bht/GBP ........ those who took CMs advice lost 25% of everything they owned.

And when the USA,instead of reducing their quantative easing program,ends it completely,forecast to be at the end of this year,we'll see the baht go right down the swanee.So have patience and wait,and pay a lot less for your condo.

Most strange.I in the past have experienced exactly the same problems with leo beer the bottled type.I switched to cans of leo and that remedied the situation.The cans seem to contain less gas than the bottled type.If you drink the bottled type try the cans and see if this works.I wish you and your backside all the best.
