Indeed. Very easy.

Spoken date format differs country/language. No worries there. For written dates, the ISO standard is recommended.

Yes, logical indeed: yyyy-mm-dd

It’s very logical I’d say. Why you think it’s not logical?

The ISO International standard for Date is: 2023-09-13 (year-month-day) Source: https://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/iso-date

Fixed now. Labeled as such now. Sorry for the confusion.

And SET is up again…

Royal Pardon, here in Thai script:

What perks/discounts do you get on a member Card?

No more restrictions when entering Thailand on a foreign passport. For all Thai dual citizens: A directive has been sent to all immigration officials stating that Thai nationals who enter Thailand on a foreign passport are no longer treated as foreign nationals for immigration purposes and that they can come and go as they please, without restrictions, on foreign passport so long as they also have proof of Thai nationality (for instance an ID card. This brings to an end the perverse situation of many Thais (for whatever reason) entering Thailand on a foreign passport and being treated as a foreigner for immigration purposes. Source: FB Group “Thai Citizenship Group” Comment: Now I’m still reading up on this, and for the moment I’ll say this is good news for those born with Thai nationality. For those who naturalise as Thai citizens I think it’s wise to be cautious and NOT use your foreign passport in Thailand given the clauses in the nationality act which give the right for the government to strip naturalised Thais (as well as those born with Thai citizenship but with TWO foreign parents with PR) of their Thai citizenship.

Hi @Zendesigner Welcome back, and don’t go anywhere ????????

Oops…

UPDATE: THAKSIN WILL STAY IN PRISON MEDICAL WARD After a medical check-up, the Department of Corrections stated that former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, 74, has five medical conditions. He will be held in a separate medical ward within the prison and monitored by medical specialists. The five conditions include ischemic heart muscle, chronic pulmonary inflammation, high blood pressure, degenerated spine, and abnormal posture. The food he receives in prison will be provided solely by the prison, and his visitation privileges will adhere to the same rules as other prisoners. However, only his lawyer will be allowed to visit during the first five days of his incarceration. #Thailand #ทักษิณ #ทักษิณกลับไทย

UPDATE: 8 years jail sentence for Thaksin

I personally accompanied the British guy to Labour Department after having had his paperwork and complete paperwork from employer, WP3 etc etc. sorted (complete stack of documentation, no change here). I was also present when he picked up his WP booklet. Not sure if this is a local change or nationwide. Or a one-off thing. I was also curious, and that was the reason for my op. I will check with Labour here for any official change and get back to you. Don’t shoot the messenger.

British guy, 55 years old. Original visa sticker: NON-O with remark “retirement “ Extension 1 year without any change in visa type (visa extension labeled RETIREMENT). Labour dept. granted a 1 year WP and he was approved for social fund.

A friend of mine in Hua Hin has managed to get a Work Permit after applying with full company documentation etc etc etc but with a one year retirement extension. And Labour will apparently continue to renew WP with no regards to extension type. it seems that Labor Department (at least in Prachuap Khirikhan) does not require NON-B or NON-O Marrage in order to issue a WP. He got a Tax-ID and social fund as well. Anyone can confirm or comment on an important change here?
