We send all of our teachers to Kuala... Penang has been more problematic in the past. Cheers... Doc

Strange one this.... nowhere in the law have I seen where it says the foreigner must report or be subject to a 1600 Bt fine. Yet, it appears this is now the case all across Thailand. Since there are no legal channels for this money to be directed to, I can't help but wonder where all that money is going. This is all made up on a case by case by immigration officers for what reason? I think each of us who have been here long term know the reason; paying your dues to the man for living here. Accept or not; your choice.

If you are using one to protect others from sneeze projectile or other drainage fluids from the nostrils, thy do provide an effect, though minimal. If you are under the illusion that they are protecting you from pollution or other airborn contaminants, think again. If you are using them as a placebo to make you feel better, go for it! Cheers...

You can buy a single apple, or bulk if you like at Makro, so I certainly see no need for Costco given the up front membership. WalMart is a different topic indeed. I do miss WalMart, and Olive Garden for that matter.

Visa service company. My time is worth paying a service to do the leg work. Currently out for 90-Day. They don't get too excited since you have a window of days to report. Should get it back today or tomorrow. Cheers...

They do a under consideration stamp on the date you apply and give your passport back to you.
Got to be a service... they have had mine for four days now.

In over 6 years, I've never left my BKK apartment complex without long pants, a collared shirt and socks. And within the complex, the only time I'm missing one of those items is to swim in the pool.
Still, I object to characterizing any human being as "quality" or not, based on what they wear in the tropics on holiday. While I'm appalled at the appearance of some of the nicest, most generous people I know, it's easy to separate the person from their quirks.
They may have different standards of dress than I do, but that doesn't make them less than me, or anyone else walking the planet.
Well said!

Went to the Patong office today to do my 90 day report, and was asked if I had registered my address. I informed them that was done 2 years ago in Phuket Town, reply was "has to do again, new rules from big boss". So I have to go back tomorrow with my landlord, and some more photocopies.
This is just meant as a heads up, as it is something relatively new (wasnt necessary 3 months ago), and isnt enforced everywhere, as far as I can tell.
Bonus info: I heard one of the immigration employees inform a foreigner that the address registration had to be done every time he came back to Thailand (he applied for a re-entry), and was living and working here (I assume he doesnt change address every time). I really hope she was just misinformed, otherwise they will be pretty busy making the same address registrations over and over.....
You have to update your TM 30 every time you leave the country and return. Has nothing to do with the reentry permit. Travel within Thailand does not require you to update the TM 30.

Have to counter the NEVER go well here stuff. I personally loaned a Thai family member 200,000 Baht to buy a used car when she graduated from University. I went into the agreement knowing I may not see a dime, but she has paid me faithfully as agreed. Next month is her last payment which I intend to give back to her in appreciation for her hard work and dedication to doing the right thing.

I try to live and let live for the most part. However, when faced with a two meter cobra in the confines of a cluttered 8X8 foot pump house, goodwill loses out. And no, I couldn't just escape the encounter and hope the nice snake left the area. I can't have my mate and her relatives at risk every time something is needed. Oh, and to counter the scenario posted above, take a rake and pin the snake before you take a machete to him, solves all the feet per second stuff. So, deadly snakes beware my pump house, you are not welcomed!

To the best of my knowledge, you must be able to produce the original work permit for employees at your place of work should an authorized individual ask to see them. That said, we do not require you to leave it with our office. Showing the work permit can get you into national parks and other locations at a discounted price. However, we do ask our employees to have it on hand while they are at work to cover the being able to produce it requirement. In the years I have been here, that has never happened, but who knows in the current environment. Cheers....

Was smoking Pot worth it? Worth prison and losing your family?
There are lots of people that think the law does not apply to them, until they get caught years later.
I would think a wife and kids would be enough deterrent to follow the law but for you I guess not
Moralising on a thread like this is boring, not to mention stating the obvious.
He did the crime, and he did his time.
..and there it is everyone...a contribution to the decay, towards the lowest common denominator.
Throw out the accusation and label of being boring, to try to win an argument. An argument by the way, that is not just dumbing down, but trying to legitimise and support criminals.
Is TV now a place to swap advice for how to survive in jail, is it a criminal support network now?
Is there no value in discussing morals, social-cultural trends of change, or are we dumbing down?
dbrenn: don't bother replying if all you do is hurl insults - you'll just add weight to my points. But please do reply if you have something worth saying that gets the grey matter tingling with constructive and challenging thought.
Pretty much has always been that in my experience... nothing to discuss here!

Don't know where you guys drive, but here, the first thing I do before starting my twice-daily 30 minute commute to work is state the quote from an all time classic film "Bring me the road warrior!" I do this to establish the mind set that I am now in a survival situation and I, and only I, will determine if I live or die today. Every day I witness drivers do things that defy any rationale or reason; sometimes causing me to react to an emergency situation, other times I am simply a spectator of the bizarre events that unfold before my eyes. I read that some people living here in Thailand find riding a motorcyle a relaxing pleasant experience. For me, it is simply a means of getting from one place to the other without experiencing undesirable consequences. Never would I describe it as recreational or relaxing. As for the statistics and making comparisons to the US, please! The rationale presented is so flawed on so many levels it loses all merit. Anyway, not trying to change anyones mind. Rather, just stating the obvious. Be careful, stay healthy and alive. Cheers to all my fellow riders!

Well you have to admit that when there's a problem even if a few decades late someone will come up with another committee or other, this is just what you'd expect from a third rate Ronald Reagan movie , the main ingredient missing in this equation is Education , if people were educated to a proper standard you would have the virtues standards within the framework of the education system, a little bit late for that now.

Down trodden Ethelbert knows no refrain for the mollification process has been done by proxy. All these "American" experts in one place really make my day.

Please ban these obnoxious and cruel American rituals from Thai colleges.
...Unbelievable. Blame America for this?
Thai Visa...believe it or not. It is incredible, the lack of knowledge displayed by some posters.
What a dweeb...hazing has been around for thousands of years, long before America existed. But go ahead, blame America if that is what you need to feel better about yourself.

Maybe if he had simply politely declined the offer, smiled and walked away this wouldn't have happened. It seems he tried to give it the big I am and ended up losing to a ladyboy. Must make him very proud
You are probably right. But sometimes getting away from these people is tough! Some are quite big....
Yes they are but just telling them you are not attracted to them usually helps. Telling them off is just stupid but some people will never learn.
The lady-boy was of course the aggressor here and the one most in the wrong, words to violence is never good. But the other party could have told them no without getting offensive.
I believe the USA and UK are well known for their offensive language (meaning its quite normal to put offensive words in the language not everyone of course because many of the people i know dont but there is a group that puts f..icking between each sentence). Here that is far less the case and people do take offence when talked to in that matter.

Amazing what you can learn about the people in your home country on here. I will pass this along back home so people will understand each other better.

Love my Honda Forza for all around operational performance; enough power to pass safely and climb hills, good comfort, nice hole under the seat for storage, within your price range. Not a high powered road warrior, but can get out of its own way when needed. Go anywhere in Issan you want to go, but agree with the previous response; take the train or plane to go to work.

The frustrations of your situation regarding Thai Laws and 'defacto' are also reflective in the disconcerting situation in both the UK & Oz. Personally I would go the ED Visa route and then whatever propitious circumstance is presented forthwith.
Obviously, your not a malfeasant and if your sedulous enough, your situation will ameliorate........ alt=lock.gif>
If I get the Ed visa, will you please teach me English?
Word!
