You need to ease back on the drugs. My post has absolutely nothing to do with doctors.

Wow, and they deduced that little gem after only seeing him in their establishment for what?.....6 hours? ...Brilliant.

So they can get their troops and tanks down through Thailand quicker. LMAO.......What about the new power stations under construction in China........ Coal power continues to expand in China, despite the government's pledges and goals. In the first half of 2023, construction was started on 37 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power capacity, 52 GW was permitted, while 41 GW of new projects were announced and 8 GW of previously shelved projects were revived

Looks like they left out the 20 other chemically, and genetically modified ingredients. Maybe so some people would not question it....

In the nineties when flying from the Middle East the planes were often only a quarter full, if that. (Ah, the good old days), The cabin crew used to make us sit in the allocated seats for take off, but then we could move around and sleep across three seats. They said it was for weight distribution during take off. We were also asked to return to our original seats for landing.

Yes. Marriage paperwork is 38 pages, duplicated equals 76. You have to provide every page of your passport that bears a Thai stamp,regardless of how old, copies of marriage papers, affidavits that still married from local amphur, copies of Wife's i.d. , copy of her tabien bahn from home village, copies of our tabien banh for house in Hua Hin, including pages 1, 18, first blank page, and signature page, copies of our Son's birth certificate, his i.d., house purchase papers, or house contract, three months internet & power bills with my name on, map to house, including google co-ordinates, letter from bank, updated bank book, no later than 24 hours before, photos inside and outside house, wearing different clothes, and finally, all these papers must be placed in the correct order as listed by immigration.

Surprised it made the news, it is a regular occurrence out here every week, some drunken moron takes out a power pole on a bend, normally about midnight. Have to give the power guys a high five though, it now only takes them a couple of hours and power is back on.

I did my extension based on marriage for the first four years, then it just got ridiculous. Apart from 76 pages of paperwork, a letter from the local amphor to say we are still married, two sets of picture, outside the house with the house number clearly visible, then change clothes, and take photo by the front door, change clothes, and take photo in the lounge, and yes, we had to have a photo sitting on the bed, again, with different clothes, ( at least we kept the clothes on !!). The final straw was that four days before the visa ran out we had a call from immigration. Now, all photos had to include our Son as well. I went to the office and said, firstly he is dual nationality, and secondly what if he is in Chiang Mai in University. All I got was a shrug of shoulders, and told that is what Bangkok wants now. Changed the following year to simple extension to stay, one piece of paper, and a photograph of just me.

Pass the parcel, or envelope. Box ticked, "I ordered an investigation".......there ends his responsibility as we all know what they will find. Anyone for a game of charades......

Must be monetary inflation.............sorry, getting my coat..........

Very true, about three years ago the Brother In Law borrowed our truck for a day. Next morning I noticed the front plate was missing. He was as surprised as myself, and said to the Wife that he can get a new one from a friend for 700 Baht. I flatly refused, and insisted on a police report. This we took to the Tessabahn and applied for a new plate. While waiting we were stopped two times because no plate, but showed the letter to prove we were waiting. New plate cost around 150 Baht including the report. It took some time, but the Wife finally understood that without the report anyone could fit our plate to the front of the car and we would get the fines in the post, regardless of whether it was a correct model vehicle or not. It would then be our responsibility to prove it was not our vehicle.

Look on the bright side, the pavements will be that little bit cleaner.

Apparently, when you go to renew your road tax it pops up you have unpaid fines, and you have to clear them before you can tax your vehicle. However, we renewed our tax the day before we paid the ticket, so that system is still in it's infancy. On the other hand, if you do not tax your car..........my B.I.L. car last tax sticker is 63.........

Fines.................. Lots, and lots, of fines........

No doubt he is already pulling the strings from his hospital bed.

Good job they went after the naughty Farang ordering a gun online. Cue the ubiquitous taxi man returns wallet with 10 million baht in it.

At a guess I would say that had to be Steve Wright.......

I thought that about two years ago Big Joke stated that after extensive efforts there were no more overstayers in Thailand.......

Mine is due to start at any time now. I will wait and see what pans out, but it looks like Cambodia may be my next stop as we live close to the border. Or will they implement it too? We will see.

100% true, Klaus Schwab actually said it, you will own nothing but you will be happy. As I have said many times, the people telling you to give up everything will be giving up nothing. You will eat insects, while they eat steaks, they will limit your travel, while they fly around in private jets. Do as I say, not as I do. Most governments have signed up to the WHO pandemic treaty which starts in May 2024. Then you will all be governed by what the WHO dictate. They can call a pandemic whenever they want, and implement stricter controls on everyone. Still people walk around blindly ignorant.

I keep being told to wear my tin hat. I ignore them. It has nothing to do with climate change, it is ALL about control, control, control. The W.E.F., W.H.O. UN, and others want cashless societies so they can implement 15 minute cities, and control what you do, where you do it, what you spend, and where you spend it. Break one of their rules, they freeze your cards. You only have to look at the lorry driver strike in Canada early January, when the Government froze all their bank accounts.....all card only. Banks will be able to charge whatever they want for transactions, and you will have no choice but to pay. No more cash work, not even a tenner from Grandad at birthday time. The younger generation with all their pay by phone apps just cannot see it. Covidiocy was an experiment on control, and to an extent it worked. Now, I sit back and wait for all the negative posts about conspiracies. I fear for my children, what dystopian society they will grow up in, at least there is one benefit to getting old, i will not have to comply.

You do not get points off for speeding here. The joke is that it converts to just 24 mph. Now, when I drive through the town all the motorbikes are racing past me....with no numberplates on.

Yes, as I posted there was huge pile in the post office waiting to be paid. Not counting all the ones that would be paid by internet.......Or maybe they will not get paid !!!

Sorry, should have been more clear, yes it is the 214 road through Prasart that goes on to join the 293 ring road around Surin.

Touch wood, no problems for me. Last two years nearly, get a reminder, about three weeks before it is due, send off 10 days before, comes back within three days.
