Domestic arrest warrant or international arrest warrant? Interpol going to get involved or is this strictly a Thai issue?

Slave fish? That's just wrong.

Having them as bounty hunters is not a bad idea ... better than sucking the small change from the public ... and they actually get criminals.

Keeping up Appearances. OMG If you remember the television program, imagine keeping the same genre with the you know who.

The good news coming in a few days is that he really is the bomber. Just have to wait a few days so it won't look too hasty.

Good thing we don't get terrorist attacks in Bangkok.

OK ... thanks ... I am still confused ... How can they give me a 90 day that's good for two months after my visa extension expires? And why would they validate my 90 day report only until my extension expired?

BTW .... the Immigration officer also told me we had to make appointments for a 90 day report in person and advised me not to use the mail service because it was so slow and could cost me another late fine.

OH... NO ... Please God ... not another war on something. The USA hasn't won a war on anything in the last 60 years ... not on crime ... not on drugs ... not even against other countries. It's way too late for this slogan to work.

Is the 90 day report to Immigration due 90 days after an “O” Visa extension is approved or is it due 90 days from the previous 90 day report or is it due the same day the extension is granted?

Very confused about this and this is about my 34^th 90 Day Report.

Background:

Completed the 90 Day on-line June 2nd. Good until June 30^th the expiration date of my “O” visa extension.

Visa extension granted on June 30^th.

I made the 90 day report at Chiangwattana in person a week before the “understood” 90 day report was due (from June 30^th) because the online site was not working. I have been doing the 90 day report 90 days after extension date the past 9 years without a hitch. First with Non “O” and now “O” the last two years.

Upon reporting the Immigration officer said I was late and hit me with a 2,000 Baht fine. The Immigration officer said the 90 days starts from the last 90 report. I said yes but my last 90 day report was good only until June 30^th when my visa extension expired. She saw all the dates on the June 90 day report and the visa extension ... didn't matter ... It was pay up or suffer the consequences.

What’s right? If the Immigration officer is correct, then I should have done the 90 day report the same day I renewed my visa extension and Immigration has been getting it wrong with me since 2008.

Anyone know if there any fixed immigration rules on this?

When I deal with Thai Immigration people I feel like I am in a card game with a 7 year old that picks up his hand and says “OK … all red fours are a wild card this time.”

There are some things I just can't get my brain around and this is one of them.

Tighten security? Why?

There is no terrorism in Thailand.

Now and then somebody with an anger management problems pops up and does something not so nice, but that's all.

Don't worry. Be happy.

Does your DNA magically change when you confess to something?

If it didn't match the first time, it *shouldn't* match the second time.

Don't you get it ??? This is Thailand. Of course DNA changes.

If the objective of the Erawan ... what? .... mishap? ... was to embarrass the RTP and Thai government ... they succeeded marvelously.

AIDS didn't exist in China until the 1990's.

Why?

The Chinese government wouldn't allow it.

Terrorism doesn't exist in Thailand.

Why? The Thai government won't allow it.

VW CEO: 'I am endlessly sorry' brand is tarnished'

Translation: 'I am endlessly sorry we got caught.

Plus ... I am endlessly sorry my job is hanging by a string. Will I still get my year end bonus?

Something is not logical here. Well, this is Thailand. I remember when an IRA guy blew himself up in his flat on Oxford St. ... British police didn't think it was a suicide.

Analogy: I remember working China in the 80's. We joked that there was no AIDS in China. Why? Because the government did not permit AIDS. Don't get it? There is no terrorism in Thailand. Why? The government doesn't permit it.

The way you behave and the way you treat people, if you are a good person, will indeed, change the perception of some Thais.

Political correctness is the Achilles heel of the West. Take a look and judge for yourself.

OMG ... it's not just going to be a language barrier but a logic barrier as well.

Something to consider before final ruling by RTP. The wife's brothers uncles and maybe boyfriend would not have to make forced entry into the apartment. It takes a lot of money and a high position to get a proper investigation here.

This is Thailand ... ya never know what to expect from the government. Uniformity of rules and regulations in Thai government does not exist.

Maybe I am old and paranoid now. I lived and worked in Islamic countries many years and never had concerns over Islam until recently. I have been living in Ratchatwei awhile now and it never was a Muslim area but recently I see more and more moving in and the relatively new mosque was modest and respectful about broadcasting calls to prayer 7 times a day ... until Ramadan. Now the mosque's loud speakers are blasting away 7 times a day and can be heard all over the Rathetewi area loud and clear. So I'm thinking about the so called Islamization of other countries. Here they build a mosque ... attract Muslims ... establish a Muslim community and then it's like they don't give a damn about or respect the non Muslim community's feelings about the loud speakers and calls to prayer. Is this happening elsewhere?

Somebody is reading ThaiVisa because the obnoxiously loud calls to pray has toned way down. Being part of a society is respecting other people in society.

Spoke too soon. No respect from the Muslim community. I guess in Islam respect is a monopoly for Muslims only.

Human traffickers work for Internal Security? The state of the nation.

Based on what I read, I think the behavior of the RTP is insulting and disrespectful to the Malaysian police who have tried to help.
