I was going to respond the same, definitely helps my hip and knee pain at 70

Looks like, on the first working day of the week, they print a stack of miscreants' data with immi pics, passport pics, TM30, phone number, visa copy, and number of days overstay, then work through them throughout the week. Of course, low-hanging fruit first - like, call and tell them to turn themselves in!! ????

They called my friend up and told him to report for a 10 day "overstay". Was clerical error, but they had a report for arrest issued the same day the "overstay" was fixed. 2 days later is when they called.

I despise those team-building activities. One place I worked had everybody take off their shoes. OK. Then put them in a big pile. Err, weird, but maybe OK. The you had to dig through the pile of dirty shoes to find your own. Disgusting.

Beauteous, Rice.

Pleez stop, cuz when people hear about the bad things we do, they don't like us.

Wait- wasn't it 40 million prepandemic? How is 20 million considered "close"? 50%? BTW- that's the same percentage needed to earn a "C" at some fine local schools, so maybe that explains it. So 20 million foreign tourists out of the oft-quoted 40 million. Maybe the rest is domestic?

He came back from Cambo, got re-appointed as a cop, and was appointed as a big poobah at the police shooting range. Not making this up!

Richard Pryor, after talking about someone dying mid-pump: "If it comes down to dyin' in bed with a beautiful woman or gettin' hit by a bus, you know which line I'm gonna be in...the loooong mutha*uc*ing line!"

It's all on computers. They run a printout once or twice a week and then they start calling/visiting those on the lists.

Saw them try to get a guy for 10 days overstay last week. Turned out to be a mistake in their computer records, but they were gonna get him!

You're absolutely joking, right?

I was at immigration last week, seated next to an IO. He had a sheaf of maybe 30-40 A4-size computer printouts, each with a name, photo, picture of passport, TM30 copy, mobile#, email, blah, blah, blah, and, at the top right corner, the number of days overstay. The numbers ranged from just TEN DAYS to almost 400 days. The 400 days, not so surprising, but they were ready to take a guy down for a mere TEN DAYS!

Same. I sit on my balcony and watch the goings on at Pattaya Beach, go out for groceries, Benjamit Coffee (!!), massage, pay bills, watch Netflix (on the balcony at night is best), make bread and ice cream and cheesecakes, video chat with friends and relatives around the world (somebody will always be up, 24/7), eat various meals out several times/week, deal with the ornery- immigration, DLT, banks (OMFG...BANKS!!), walk along the beach, and growing a few vegetables.

I keep reading "picked up by the smart car". What do these expensive vehicles actually do? Ride around and wait for the smart car to detect the aura of those on overstay?

May or may not be courteous, but in your case, it would certainly be appropriate.

Facts is facts kid.

I ordered this one last Friday. Jonesin' for the delivery! ???? https://thaivapeshop.store/products/black-widow-dry-herb-wax-vaporizer

I had a little extra room in an outdoor grow tent, so I will started a Bruce Banner Auto from seed. I've done nothing but a bit of LST and MINOR defoliating. She throws off some weird leaves occasionally. Here she is at exactly 50 days since seed popped. ???? Seedlings are 6-day old Cookies Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. Photos.

My OCD makes me anxious when I look at that messy scale! ????

Eratosthenes? Who mathematically calculated the circumference of the Earth? Like 2000+ years ago.

Perhaps topology? Something like, "In topology, there is no difference between the shape of the Earth and the shape of a plate."

The laws are already in place to prevent this. The only thing missing is actual enforcement.

Getting close. Wild Thailand

I have a 1-year lease on a condo in PTY. When I applied for my O visa at Jomtien in August I needed a copy of the owner's house book AND the owner's work permit!
