Thank you

Can someone recommend an agent in Pattaya who can "help" me with my retirement extension? Thanks

Current extension ends January 6. Can I still renew after that date? How long?

another question, if ATM machines are likely to take your card how are normal tourists getting or carrying their cash these days?

I was in manila twice recently and used a few ATM s with no problem. Also in cebu.

Begging hungry children is very sad however this is only in minor areas and in some Filipino big cities such as Manila Cebu 

Also if ur a foreigner then they will beg with u more then if u are a local.

In Manila I had ladies and kids hold out their hand, I was never touched. Sometimes I gave kids food, never money.

No

When I arrive back in Thailand I put my address on the arrival card. That's all you need for the next 90 days.

There is already a standard gauge railway line ARL, from Bangkok (Makkasan area) to the airport. All they have to do is extend it round and down to Pattaya and on south to U-Tapao. No need to build another railway. A fast train  is all that's required.

Build, extend. You know what I mean.

On Shopee my phone has an option at the screen bottom to get it in English. No problem.

I have a package from Amazon, shipped via UPS, currently held in Thai customs. It's been there over 2 weeks, and Friday UPS finally told me the problem is the name on the box doesn't match my passport, middle name is missing. I'm waiting to see what will happen.

Hi moxely, I called ups at 027623300, but they were no help. Yesterday I contacted Amazon cust service and today they refunded me the entire amount including postage and customs fees. They said if I do get the package, just keep it. The customs number is 1164, but no help there. Good luck.

He's just trying to attract ladyboys.

My credit union requires that I show up at their office in person.  14,000 miles away - that ain't going to happen. 
It seem US banks are set up in a way to prevent expats from, well, being expats.  I don't see a lot of support out there. 

Discover bank. Open account online and mail them a check or wire money. They do  international wires 

Get a Cambodia evisa and go to poipet. It saves a whole page.

Sorry for these very basic questions, but I have never had a fixed deposit account here in Thailand  - but now find it interesting to have one for my retirement extension.

 

For a fixed deposit - what do you bring to Immigration as proof? I mean there are no or very few movements (interest being added) on the account - so how to show an updated account?

 

..and how do you prove to immigration that there would be no penalties in case of withdrawals (except loss of interest)

You get a letter from the bank stating the amount t a d how long you've had it.

More mob violence by a group of Thais.

Another drunken idiot getting what he deserves.

She is lucky,doing this in her home country ,it would have been her

that was shot ,not the tyres.

Not really, except in movies. They use those strips with spikes to blow the tires.

A lot of them are Korean.

I think there is a place on Klang down from Big C Extra that is ENT. Don't know the name.

Actually, the taxi broke down. He called for another one.

I hope the EU are happy about their partner.

I wonder if they also join the Nazi parade.

People seem to forget very easy, about the millions killed during WWII and the Holocaust.

I don't, and I will never forget as long as I live and made sure my kids will never forget either.

Well said on the EU comments.

However, I doubt these people "forgot" anything. They know very well what they are supporting. I was amazed at the openness of hatred and racism in Eastern Europe. I've never seen so many swastikas proudly displayed and as tattoos while in Moscow. (not the same as the Thais that have no clue about the symbol)

On my 1 week visit to Moscow, I had Hitler salutes and bottles thrown at me. Twice while riding Moscow Metro which is heavily policed. This epidemic is throughout Eastern Europe including Latvia.

Neo-Nazi skinheads are so brazen in Eastern Europe that they upload their videos to YouTube showing off their murders and beatings. If convicted, they get a slap on the wrist.

Even some professionals (engineers and pilots) I've met in Russia and Ukraine refer to Jews as "those <deleted> Jews" and are very casual about their comments. It's not just the uneducated lower-class that feel this way.

BTW I'm Black so yes I would stand out in Eastern Europe. The Nazism a serious problem. Even though Hitler looked down on the Slavic people, these Eastern European Nazis see it as a White vs. non-White issue.

Go to Latvia and report back.
