CDN Embassy ceasing letters income affidavits
I just saw this on the Facebook page of the Canadian in Thailand. This sucks it means that I am going to learn how to do this with the bank. The idea that they can not guarantee that the person is telling the truth is strange, considering that all they have to do is ask for statements.

Thai PM Paetongtarn Highlights Advantages of Recent China Visit
So China is going to lend them the money and sign the contracts so tht if Thailand can't pay China can take over. Wonder how many drug lords in Chaina are waiting for the train. Think of places you can hide drugs on a train.

How to send an Alzheimer's patient back to the U.K.? - From Bangkok
Fair enough, but it seems inhumane to throw him on a plane and send him somewhere that no one knows him, and the weather is rainy and F ing cold. I would rank that with the guy who takes a bunch of kitten,s throws them in a bag, and throws it in the river

How to send an Alzheimer's patient back to the U.K.? - From Bangkok
No one is arguing that he can get to the U.K. that is a given the issue is what is he supposed to do once he gets there. No hospital is going to take him in. The NHS is backlogged his niece does not seem to be in the picture. The only questions are Does he make enough money to qualify for a retirement visa? Is there a facility that will take him

How to send an Alzheimer's patient back to the U.K.? - From Bangkok
The challenge you will have is first the cost. second where are you escorting him to. As @Sheryl said there is o where for him to go right off the plane. You will get there and be stuck there with him unti something gets sorted and really do you think the UK health system is going to move fast. I think it would seem a better idea to see about getting his passport renewed. This can be done quick if you present all the info but rule out returning to the U.K. Find him a home to stay in or find him a lady that will look after him in the condo/apartment he has. Then allyou have to do is once a month check up on him.

Is another TM.30 required from my condo landlord if I stay in a hotel overnight?
Not sure of that in Pathum Thani. While I was doing my annual, a guy came in to extend, and the captain told him he would need to know where the guy was staying when he came into extend. This whole system is so screwed up I long for the (BIG JOKE) days when we had a guy in charge that was in charge. Things are so messed up right now. For example, when I first moved here, I stayed with my GF, who was renting a house. All immigration wanted was her to fill out the paperwork and send them a copy of her id card by email. After that I took her with me but she was never needed. Then got a new GF and have been staying at the house that I rented and submitted a copy of teh lease agreement for the first year. Then, a few years later, gf bought the house. I never needed anything but took the gf with me in case. This year, they told me I needed tm30, and after supplu\ying that, she told me I just needed a tm 28 next year. Man it keeps us on our toes. I also go to Pats, Samed or stay overnite in BKK never needed to do a tm30 for 90 day report. I will see what happens this time

How to send an Alzheimer's patient back to the U.K.? - From Bangkok
Airline staff will assist but there must be an identified adult there to collect the person upon landing. If ot then they will just leave him and maynot let him board as he will be an issue at the immigration at Heathrow. Not sure what the Embassy can do but would advise checking with them at least to have it noted. One sily question is it a direct flight to U.K>

Forced to book a hotel on the spot
If you are coming to Bangkok to get your passport renewed, then obviously, you are going to need accommodations. It seems reasonable tht they would want to now where you are living or going to live. most of us who travel book hotel accommodations in advance. So that should not have been an issue. But then again, most of us understand the game and play it better.

Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
That part of the law I will agree with it makes no sense. But then again if you are in a tourist area there is not ban or time you can not buy. I wonder what would change in Pattaya and pat pong if they changed the rules as NANA and Cowboy are in fulll sale mode. Would that mean that walking street bars would be open at 2 pm with girls looking for quick time LOL

Trump Declares No Urgency in Gaza Development Amid Controversial U.S. Takeover Plan
Say what you want about Donald but his comment got the result he wanted. The Arab world is meeting now to discuss how to avoid getting involved with the U.S. The TRUMP effect works. You have to believe. https://apnews.com/article/egypt-gaza-arab-summit-trump-16697d5c6671b5edeb0d864901fe7edc Remember, everything is a negotiation. In this case, it was do you want Israel and the U.S. to rebuild Gaza? We are ready to do so. OR do you want to get off your \assets and fix this? Same with the U.N., they start to see all that money disappearing and have to fly coach instead of 1st class.

Thailand Rolls Out Free Condoms to Teens for Safe Valentine’s
Why are Thai girls not introduced to berth control methods, and get proper education not from the old 60 year old bat or the young 22-year-old barbie girls The challenge is that the girls cannot turn or get assistance anywhere. Thailand needs a Sunday night Sex with Sue call-in show. Imagine if a TV station promoted that with the same rules that Sue Johansen had, HIV/'STD screening should be free and available to all teens starting at Mat 1. Being teen girl in Thailand to me is worse than being a teen girl in the 60's and 70's in Canada. Can you imagine girls going to mom to talk about sex when she really only has the 2 minute 3-inch wonder and the OLD school taboos to go by Maybe that would be a good job for some of the older Bar girls sex education for girls in Nat schools so they know what they are getting into.

Thailand Debates Costly Move to Relocate Capital from Bangkok
Pakistan did the move it works but you have to take your time. Start relocating minor government agencies first. Remember that while you move the agencies there are all the people in those agencies that have to sell homes at a loss and buy new at new location Housing market will die.

Former Russian Beauty Queen Faces Harsh Conditions in Thai Immigration Detention
It sounds like Mom and Dad are washing their hands of her. If you overstay you usually pay the fine and leave on 10 day. N muss no fuss But to lock up someone and the way it is written it is long term. I would think that for 10 days, they would simply hold her in Pats, get the money sorted, and take her to Swampy instead of IDC for normal. BUT She then returned to Thailand but failed to renew her visa. Despite her past success as a model, reports claim she is now stranded with no money for a ticket home after falling out with her parents. Some Russian news outlets suggest she worked as an escort, a claim her family strongly denies. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/russian-beauty-queen-faces-grim-future-in-notorious-thai-prison

Starmer Pledges to Overhaul Planning Rules for Nationwide Nuclear Expansion
I heard the government was gong to give Fuji the contract for its computer software. I can't wait to see the screaming and yelling when he tries to do this in the country taking farm land or just outside some the small villages. Also you know nothing is going to be built anywhere near people that have money.

Former Russian Beauty Queen Faces Harsh Conditions in Thai Immigration Detention
Considering that there is a window that she could simply pay the fine and go on with things I again think whoever wrote this trash is missing the PLOT. There is a reason other than overstay that she got busted. Also, if Mom and Dad are so worried, why are they not wiring money to pay the over and buy her a ticket home?
