Why all the Thai bashing.

Just as probable they went away for some private time (both naked) and was attacked by jealous party guest.

I have a different type of visa but there wasn't anything on my application. Sounds like a good idea though.

It was a separate form, all applications for extension of stay is made on same form TM.7

Did you get your extension?

Yes, I got my normal under consideration stamp for marriage extensions.

Where did you go?

What was the form labeled?

Just gets deeper by the hour.

Samui Immigrations.

The label was in Thai script.

Most of it was in Thai script.

You must declare salary as it is stated in the work permit.

My lawyer recommended 35.000 baht would be enough, that would mean 1.000 Baht in personal income tax / month

Yesterday I went for my annual marriage extension at Immigrations, sixth time.

Before the Immigrations officer even started to look at my papers he handed me a new form.

It was basically questioning me if I had a criminal record in my home country or in Thailand.

If, yes there was space to specify your conviction and/or ongoing cases.

It also asked for my consent to make a criminal background check in my home country and in Thailand.

It also stated that any false information will be used for prosecution, possible jail time and revocation of any extension of stay.

Has anyone else been given this form?

And for members that wonders, No, I do not have a criminal record nor minded that made a background check.

They? Shouldn't that information have been made available by the 'they' that bought and stored it? Of course such transparency and accountability may have precluded some of the games 'they' have played, and now face prosecution for.

I don't care who they are.

Until someone points out that grade A went in, and Grade F is really what they have and it has cost xxxxxbaht, the whole thing is just smoke and mirrors.

This could all be a scam to sell grade B at grade F prices for all we know.

They know what they have ended up with, but, who knows, maybe some of the records about what went in were in those unexplained fires.

They have taken 1700 samples and this is never going to be enough to accurately grade what they have in the 17mn sacks. Even less so if the con goes beyond deterioration and refers to deliberately misgrading the product.

Why don't they release a statement of exactly what they have in the warehouse with the grades attached versus the current sale prices?

So you claim that more than 2,000 inspection groups only managed to get 1,700 samples.

Why suspect foul play? If he was innocent they have no need to kill him, if he was guilty he would face the death penalty anyway.

Well, now nobody will know who gave the orders for the hit.

Dead birds don't sing.

It is to be hoped that there will be an international observer at the autopsy.

Yes, dead birds do not sing.

Concerning the number of defaults my reading of the OP is that there are 12,500 defaults so far, 500 of which are confirmed as never going to pay another payment.

Lie. The OP, "He added that there are over 12,000 cases at risk of defaults"

"said Mr Somchai Poonsawat, director-general of Excise Department."

Is the excise department that gives out loans?

100.000 according to Reuters.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/22/us-thailand-autos-idUSBRE98L0JJ20130922

100.000 - 200.000 according to Topgear.

http://www.topgear.com.ph/news/industry-news/what-went-wrong-with-thailand-s-first-car-buyer-subsidy-program

500 according to pro-Thaksin Thai PBS

And why does all red posters ignore the fact that many bought cash.

Your debate is with the OP not the posters.

So you really believe that everyone one bought on finance and only 500 defaults.

100.000 according to Reuters.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/22/us-thailand-autos-idUSBRE98L0JJ20130922

100.000 - 200.000 according to Topgear.

500 according to pro-Thaksin Thai PBS

And why does all red posters ignore the fact that many bought cash.

1% default would have been over 10,000 and that would have been good but only 500 defaulted which is great. It was a great idea.

You wrote, "3....quote manufacturers............boost in sales---then---- but all sales are down now due to the selling quickly for the scheme, job losses, go-slow." Increase in sales means more people employed and more money for the economy. Slow down? Link it.

100.000 has defaulted according to Reuters.

Assuming that nobody bought cash then it would be 10%, how many do you think has no monthly installments.

Japanese automakers, who control 80 percent of the local market, reported a 30 percent drop in sales on average in the second quarter of 2013.

that means it was a big succes if only 500 people do not meet payments....

they have sold hundred thousands of cars.

again big succes!

A success for who ?? the poor ?? government ??? thousands of cars on the market, could bring down second hand prices though.

you name it,

the poor,

the first car owners.

the manufactures of the cars and the workers,

the cars sellers and staff.

the oil compagnies

the insurance compagnies

etc etc

The rich....new car and new house.

Continue reading.

It states 500 so far this year and "He added that there are over 12,000 cases at risk of defaults"

And the last government stopped paying the 100.000 baht same time as the stopped paying the farmers.

Subsidize holidays for the rich. Why is this not surprising.

Yes, one more of Thaksins puppets that should be "transferred" to inactive post.

Last Time I looked any husband married to a thai has the legal right to help his wife in her business

a work permit is granted on application from the wife tor her spouse to help her

That is absolutely and completely false. You do not have the right to work without a work permit, even if it's only to help your spouse.

And no work permit would be granted for a job like this (less than 4 Thai employees and a job on the list of prohibited occupations (street vending).

4 employees working for a company (2 if married to Thai), not applicable for sole proprietors, he can get work permit in his wife's sole proprietorship.

I don't see him street vending, in the photo he works as a chef in a kitchen.

He can not serve the food or receive the money, probably his wife does that.

One or two Thaivisa members warned that the PDRC were anti farang. Now wait for the Junta to insist that those living here on retirement visas, marriage visas etc need to have a University degree, then we will see how many are applauding them.

Get your facts straight.

The new directive was presented May 18th already, before the take over.

This was under Thaskins government.

i wonder how many thais will loose their jobs

None, but some might lose their jobs.

you are too confident.

the hospitality industry in thailand will suffer soon

let me remind you that few months ago the representatives of some thai hospitality associations were not too happy

The minibus associations?

The timeshare sellers associations?

Nothing in there about examining the personal wealth of retired generals.

Is this the new "But, But, Suthep" mantra when fighting corruption?
