That'll tell them David. Apple will be shaking in their boots. I saw nothing that denigrated Thailand. Queues at immigration? Even the stern looking Immigration Officer was spot on. It had a little bit of a feel of that Hangover film.

By the sounds of it that Syrian (supposed schoolboy)was a real nasty piece of work, and some of the teachers at the school were warned off from telling the truth. Watch the Jordan Peterson interview of Tommy Robinson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_3r0_0BoFY He also talks about the asian grooming gangs in his hometown of Luton who get young western schoolgirls hooked on drugs and force them to have sex with dirty old men. He describes how this was what started him on his activism. Good on him showing the movie in the UK. It has already been shown in the US. The whole West is in decline. The social cost of unchecked illegal immigration has taken all the money meant for welfare, education, transport etc. And God forbid WW III comes along. Does anyone think these people will be signing up to fight for their new hosts?

Maybe, I was just thinking that if batteries have a short-ish life and it is expensive to change the whole lot, that might be why Thais aren't buying.

How long do the batteries last in an EV before they need changing? How much does it cost to change them in an average sized family car? I am not up on EV's , but say something around Honda City or Honda Civic size.

I don't know about Samsung, but the "Accessibility section" on iPhones is to do with things to aid people with hearing or sight problems. Have you turned anything like that on recently?

Koh Samui Immigration. Thats why I posted it in the Samui forum rather than the general one, as different offices never seem to have the same requirements. As for the form, I can't recall if it had a number or not. I just told the IO what I wanted to do and he gave me the form to fill in.

Was it Sretta's own idea to put a criminal in his government? Or was he ordered to by Thaksin? Either way, it seems a stupid move, leaving him open to just this kind of action. They never seem to learn.

Went along to Immigration on Tuesday to get my visa stamps changed to new passport. It was packed after the holiday weekend. Why they can't provide a wall rack with all the various forms available I don't know. Would make things far easier. I had to queue for thirty minutes just to get the required form. The other bottleneck is only having two IO's checking documents downstairs. REQUIREMENTS TO CHANGE STAMPS: Completed form. Copies of both photo page and latest visa stamp in old passport. Copy of photo page from new passport. All signed. Checked downstairs and issued queue number. Handed in upstairs. Told to come back in a week. I will have to check they also move my Multiple Re-Entry Stamp. HTH

That clarifies things. The message says they require extra information, but are asking for the exact same things that they already have from me. I.e. In my case a copy of my passport ID page and a selfie. What they are after is any actual changes / updates to that info., such as a new passport

I too received said email yesterday. Will update through the app on mobile phone.

They should have stuck a charge of incest on top? Given time to serve consecutively.

Another one. I was just in the big Lotus top of Chaweng Lake Road. As you go in, turn right by MK restaurant and in front of cashier desks there is a phone repair stall. They have signs up saying Macbook and Notebook repairs.

I feel sorry for the ten year old left without parents.

Nitecore. But not cheap. Over THB500. Might be better to just buy multiple cheap ones and keep swapping them out.

I've seen those two idiots tearing down the hill into Choengmon. Very loud. It's not just the noise, it's the speed they are driving at.

Tamarinds also have a similar effect.

Hydraulic Acid? Does that make you go like a jackhammer? 😀 Or do you mean Hyaluronic Acid?

Thailand needs a Hub Cap.

Further to my last post, see above. This might be handy to know for anyone in a rush: I went to pick up my new passport yesterday. Although VFS say collection is from 14:00 until 16:00, it is possible to get there earlier and get a queue ticket. I arrived at 13:20 and got ticket No.2. So when they started calling queue numbers, I was out of there pretty quickly. HTH

I put in my renewal application at VFS Huay Kwang on 28th June. The lady that dealt with me was pleasant and efficient I received email that new passport was ready for pickup on 8th July. Ten days was a pleasant surprise. Be aware. Collection of new passport at VFS is only between 14:00 and 16:00 hrs.

Practice, practice practice. It may involve some falling off so wear a helmet, gloves and elbow protectors at first. Maybe try on grass or in a quiet park or space where you won't risk hitting passers by. Take it easy. Maybe get someone to help steady you. Help hold you up at first. I don't know if learning on a mountain bike type with fatter tyres would be any easier than a racing model with thinner ones. Others might know. I would make sure that you are very proficient on riding a bicycle before transitioning to a motorbike. The roads are dangerous here.

No farangs? Unless they come under "from various other countries."

Never being one to miss a trick, I am surprised that TAT hasn't started an advertising campaign, aimed at all those tourists being deterred from going to some European countries by the local "We don't want you" demonstrations.

IMHO, what is more scary, is the recent Supreme Court ruling giving US President's some immunity against prosecution. Putting them above the law to some extent. Now that door has been cracked open, what is to stop further immunities being granted by future judges?

And another one now.
