Do not be angry at your own government it is up to them what they will provide. By the way of the documents you provide how many   are forgeries easy to do. By the way when I raise my hand I realize i am subject to 10 years confinement for lying.

disagree, you may be a computer expert and have experience with

counterfeit dollar production, but i sure aint,

it would never come to my mind trying to fool a swedish embassy

with fake swedish documents, they know them too well,

it would be very easy by comparison to trick thai authorities tho,

that got zero experience of them, and cant even read it.

in contrast beside the issue of blushing in shame,

i cant think of an easier way to cheat than to raise my hand

and lie through my teeth to someone who hasnt even got the right

to question me if i lie

Just talked with an American friend who went to Chiang Mai Imm today for his one-year retirement extensions, not his first.  He wasn't asked for any "proof" of income besides the Income Letter from the Consulate.  He used a visa agent, one of the well-known visa agents with an office in town.

the difference being that hiring an agent cost several times more,

and the IO dont question it since they get a cut of the agent cost

Now If another Consulate, say Australia (just for example) asks for proof of income prior to issuing an Income Affidavit to one of its nationals this still does not prove anything. Bank statements, pension payment slips, and stock portfolios, etc., can be faked easily .

You need a new income letter. I'm surprised the Embassy people didn't question this boo-boo.

why tho ?

it is the policy of US embassy to never question the 'scouts honor' boo-boo

Yeah, I've only been doing it for 25 years (in Thailand). And of course have never seen "prostitution" in place like Budapest, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Canada, the USA so I would have no idea that only "old, unattractive and/or dumb men" use prostitutes. 

And so you don't use prostitutes because you think you'll catch gonorrhea or "any other shit". LoL. But you've been drinking beer in gogo bars more than I ever will.
Hilarious.
 

 

yes: during the 12 years i drank beer in pattaya gogo bars,

i went out nearly every day, only taking a rest when diarrhea

became unbearable and i had to eat norfloxacin a few days,

and drank around 25 bottles every evening.

...and no, i dont 'think i'll catch',

i know from statistic its 50% chance

i rest my case

I take it neither of you actually spends much time in any "a-go-go" bar.

If you did you'd notice that there are a lot of "handsum" men in those places who don't appear to fit any of the descriptions you've noted.

(But there are also a lot that do.) 
The fact is, a lot of guys, of every description, like the concept of a "guilt free" sexual encounter that doesn't take 3 weeks of dating, 8 fancy dinners, 10 bouquets of flowers, 4 boxes of chocolates and a weekend at a ski resort (in separate rooms) before finally (maybe) getting laid.
And a lot of guys don't want to get into a relationship and then get dumped 6 months later and find out they've just lost half of everything they ever owned and worked for. 

Prostitution is known as the "oldest" profession for a reason. It's been going on ever since women realized they could get paid for what they used to give away (or had taken) for free. If the world ended tomorrow, then one of the first "professions" that would start up again would be prostitution (if there were any people left that is).

i'm not even uncertain when i state i have been drinking beer in gogo bars more than you ever will, and i know of at least one man that rather skip sex

than risk gonorrhea or any other shit

Lots of John's (or Mohammed's) are already circumcised!

i mean circumcision,

those already mutilated goes directly to step 2

which is castration

Face it, one way or another men will wind up paying for sex. No such thing as a "free lunch"

unattractive men, or dumb, or a combination thereof

Arrest the Johns, charge them and if convicted, publish their details including home countries. That will deter the sex tourists.

nah, that is unlikely to deter anyone, and beside,

defamation is illegal.

now if they are sentenced to circumcision, that will definitely  deter

'better luck next time' might be more appropriate,

but 'heaven' for a buddhist is silence,

the circle is broken for buddha, myself, and a few other exceptional beings.

tho the odds of that is supposedly much smaller than a rebirth

It's not a Non-O retirement visa and the rest of your post is equally ill-informed.

 

Another nonsense post. Neither you nor I could have any idea who cheats when applying for extensions of stay, including those who hire visa agents to fabricate mythical bank account balances.

 

Considering that the monthly income required for marriage and retirement extensions are about  $1250 and $2000 assuming that half the Americans in Thailand using those extensions couldn't muster that amount is laughable. 

considering that the average american monthly pension is around 1400 bucks,

that makes 50% americans above threshold and the other half below income threshold.

might be that the poorer half is over represented in thailand

as per your own admittance you tried to cut him off,

he had the right of way since he was already in that lane,

yet you tried to squeeze in and signaled aggressively

and provocative as if you intended to use force to cut him off.

You can alter the position of the PCX handle bars forward..

yes, on one of those i tested, there were both a distance

and the handle bar was twisted forward so my knees would not hit it,

that is what i would do. the seat pushes me strongly forward tho,

for me the choice is between nmax & forza,

more specifically, if i cant find a forza at a real good price real soon, i'll settle for an nmax

You can remove the plastic around the Nmax handlebar leaving it similar to the PCX.

I like the PCX but it's smaller than the Nmax, leg room is far less then my Nmax, I'm 6'3" long legs, seat on PCX is awful and no ABS, I'll stick with my Nmax.

 

Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

 

 

 

agree out of the two the nmax is less uncomfortable,

but pcx has better potential of removing the knee-handlebar conflict.

nmax also brakes better and feels smoother to handle.

i would like to test ride forza,

i sat on it and it felt like having more potential of being comfortable, the knee-handlebar conflict is still there, but like with pcx, i can put in some distances on the handlebar so my knees can not hit the handle bar

Both scoots are probably designed for smaller Asian guys like me. The seats feels just right for me. For non-asian taller guys, a seat mod might be needed. 

 

The new 2018 Forza looks perfect, wasn't a fan of the old Forza. 

yes, i was looking at custom seats, the ones that looked tempting are around 3000 baht, the worrying part is: will my knees be raised even higher ?

i can rectify that issue on pcx since it standard steel handle bar,

but its impossible on an nmax since the handle bar itself is plastic

i think the stream of pics of dead is gross,

everyone that ever died here is displayed

maybe if they start jumping near prime minister

the authorities will finally make nembutal for sale

Thanks for the recommendation, I will take a look as I live down that way.

 

I would add a slice of 'caveat emptor' on this type of thing, based on previous experiences with Thai shoemakers and tailors ('Thai' as opposed to the Sukhumvit tourist focused shops).

 

After trying out a few places, with some mixed results, I have finally found a trusted Thai tailor, who does a very good job on suits & shirts for about 1/2 price of the Sukhumvit shops.

I gave up on the tailor made shoes after a couple of disappointing efforts which were poor in fitting and quality.

 

I am a 45/UK 11, so I occasionally buy from department stores here, which is expensive, but generally try to stock up on my annual trip back to the UK/Europe.

 

 

 

is that tailor in bkk or pattaya ?

Correct.; But you still could not explain " big animal", how and why size matters.

they might think we would know what properties a 'big animal' has,

so we should have by then been given a clear explanation.

another explanatio might be that 'big animal' is the best explanation due to language barrier

an analogy might be that i would explain how

an intercooler works by lowering aggression

in particles about to be injected to a combustion chamber, i assume the one i explain to has some basic physics education, while a thai assume i have some basic understanding what properties a big animal has, in both cases, we assume the resiever of the message to have the fundamental knowledge, except i dont have the fundamental knowledge what properties a big animal has

Did I say lying? Sure it may be but my experience is different. Check why Hindus don't eat beef. It is the same reason.

And how many Thais know something about evolution?

uncharted territory for me but i guess its a side effect of rebirth,

a big animal isnt that far behind taking human form,

and that makes it somwhat repulsive to eat as some sort of cannibalism,

like eating an ape for us, a close cousin

so its an evolution thing to be more specific than big animal,

but tbh evolution dont explain squat for me neither.

maybe they see it as some sort of cannibalism

It has nothing to do with the size of an animal, utter nonsense. Same as Hindi in India.

i havnt asked any hindu, but the thais i asked

claimed it to be due to big animal

i have rented both for the last few days,

both seats kinda wants to push me forwards off the bikes,

but pcx pushes much harder.

otoh pcx handle bar is not surrounded by plastic like nmax,

so while pcx handle bar hits my knees harder,

the handle bar itself can be raised so it wont be hitting knees at all.

i think forza 300 will be more comfortable and size forgiving than either,

kinda fancy the easy snappy handling of nmax tho, a sensation of a small bike in that regard
