Later in the day they had a private meeting to discuss sharing the pie......

They do not need to construct another building. There is a huge one in Bangkok already fitted out where s** all gets done now.

You have to remember that NO Government, anywhere, has any money. It is all gleaned from the populace any way they can.

I do agree with your hypothesis, however, I believe I found the flaw in your reasoning.

Was worth that, hope he has insurance. On the good side, he made it out in one piece.

Why would they want proof of funds for 90 day report. The online system does not ask for it. On the other hand, I forgot where I was for a minute....

Thanks, I was going on personnal experience. A late friend had a condo in Hua Hin, believe it or not called "The Flame Tree", and they did not allow them. Also, my Son's apartment, also in H.H. does not allow them either.

Ignoring the slight spelling error, I thought all condos banned gas cookers and bbq's.

The thread title is an oxymoron of the highest calibre.

Just went to the office, filled out a form, then they cancelled one visa, and started another. I lost about two weeks on the old visa, but no big deal. My Wife was present also, and, for some strange reason I could not figure out we needed a letter from the local Amphur office to say we were still married......don't ask me why. Oh, and the money in the bank. As Proton mentioned, they prefer it as less work for them. Sorry, I forgot to mention the standard paperwork as listed by MJCM above.

I changed mine over three years ago, mainly because of the mass of paperwork needed each year for a marriage visa.

Serves him right for engaging in a reserved occupation.

I had to think for a while as to what a w beam is.........Then realised it is what is known in the rest of the world as Armco....

A quick question, if I may. After your post I looked on Lazada for Enelop Pro rechargeables. Now I probably know the answer, but if you have purchased them can you please clarify. One set is priced at 545 Baht for 4 AA batteries. The other is priced at 135 Baht for 4. It appears obvious the second is fake. The high priced one has made in Japan on top right, on the left is the capacity of 2550 mAh, and on the right is a battery with 85% life after one year facing left. The cheap ones do not say Japan, the battery on the right faces the other way, and High Capacity is on the top of the card. So, am I correct in assuming the more expensive are genuine. I thank you in anticipation for your kind assistance.

That description fits perfectly the group of Women in a house about a hundred metres from me.....

Eating food made with fermented stinking, rotting fish, with uncooked crabs, probably giving consumers worms, also eating fried insects, ant eggs, etc. and she is made sick by the sight of a fish head..I do not think so.....

My Brother in Law does it. Years ago I asked the Wife, and she said it is to cure headaches...........yes, I am baffled too.....

Typical sloping shoulder indecisive politics rampant in the Thai system. Leaving it to the individual school is, as the students have said, going to lead to more authoritarian discipline by the autocratic teachers.

owners would face a fine of up to 2,000 baht according to the 1992 Act on Maintenance, Cleanliness, and Orderliness. ...........The authorities could make millions if they enforced this regulation in any town or city here....

They will be taxed, as will the establishments, via licence, etc. so the pigs at the trough have more to grab. However, absolutely nothing will be done regards protection, and rights. Workers rights in Thailand, what a joke. They cannot take care of the child labour, migrant labour, etc here, so prostitution is going to be waaaay down the ladder.

There goes the neighbourhood.............best get the signs out again....................

Hi Transam, He passed away about a month ago, maybe the staff are using his email to continue the business? As an aside, I used them as it was cheaper than two trips to Bangkok from Surin.

Most of the time in our village the headman only uses the speakers to disseminate news that affects the populace. The main reason being that about 70% are illiterate, therefore it is the only way to get news out. Things like when to go and register for handouts, what is happening to the infrastructure, when, and for how long the electricity is going to be off. However, as 2Baht pointed out, the education system is working..........keep them dumb, then lead like sheep.
