Agree but Covid travel restrictions put many in the category of not being able to renew.

Information for those in the CM area. I am currently on a one year Non-O (Marriage) visa. My original license (valid for 2 years) had been expired for less than one year. This is what was needed to get my renewal: - Residence Certificate (it took 3 weeks to receive it in the mail) - Medical Certificate: I went to Chiang Mai Klaimor Hospital (158 M.10 Chiangmai-Hod Road, just up the road from the CM Provincial Transport Office) -- The whole process took just a few minutes and, IMO, was a "This is Thailand" paperwork drill. We (thai wife and I) walked in, presented my passport, took my blood pressure, the nurse asked my a few health questions (suggest answering "I'm fine, no problems"), took the printout and directed to the next room to see the doctor, listened to my heartbeat and took my pulse, he signed the printout and was directed to the cashier. Total was 200 baht and took about 15-20 minutes. Not sure what it proved other than getting my 200 baht????. - Went directly to the Transport Office after getting the Med Cert. -- Go to the second floor and speak to the lady at Counter 27. -- She needed my Passport, copy of passport information page and visa stamp (copy service on the second floor), Residence Certificate, and expired license. -- The lady at Counter 28 called me up and conducted the traffic light test. Basically it was "tell me what color light comes on - red, yellow, green" -- Lady at Counter 27 gave me a queue number and my paperwork and told to have a seat and wait for my number. -- I had 7 people ahead of me but only two people working the counter. When called, I paid 505 baht, given back some paperwork, and told to get my picture taken. -- Went behind the counters, presented my paperwork to the camera person, took my picture, handed my license after a few minutes. The renewal process from parking the car to getting back to the car took less than 30 minutes. Also, I'm guessing the expiration is tied to your next birthday because my new expiration is Jun 2028...making my license valid for 5 years 10 months.

Greed is the only reason ponzi schemes continue to work. The same with the Nigerian marriage scam that many women continue to fall for.

Was he a retired Special Forces Seal Team Delta NCIS agent? I think I met a number of them drinking 10 baht coffee at the mall. I told them when the investment returns reach 60%, then let me know. Of course I'll drop millions of baht into this scheme when the Nigerian prince sends me my millions. ????

Of course they will lend support. They will patrol the South China Sea in that new sub they just bought, granted it will stayed anchored since it doesn't have an engine. And they will provide Combat Air Patrols with their (soon to be) newly acquired F-35 fighters.

It's not about a limit, it's the matter of declaring how much. Same with the US regarding taking money out of and entering with.

Uh, no I did not. Stop trolling and baiting.

Ah yes. Another Trump whataboutism. The man continues to live rent free inside the minds of the left.

You may want to refrain from being a realist and go along with the new definitions coming from the current administration....and other posters on this forum. You are right, it wasn't "new" jobs but simply businesses being able to reopen and hire people for the jobs that were laid off pre Covid.

Just curiously if you had the same outrage when Antifa attacked federal buildings in Philly and Portland. I'm sure there were other instances but those two come to mind. ???? For the record, I condemn any violence against federal agencies/properties.

It works for men who commit crimes then suddenly have a change of heart and become monks.

As a school administrator for several schools, why do you think such a statement would be appropriate? Couldn't this cause other students to bully them based on your accusation?

Enforce the laws. Now that is leading edge stuff ????

"Created"? You may want to fact check your statement. Of course Biden is gloating his administration "created" jobs but the term to use should be jobs "added". The pandemic caused many employers to lay off workers but now those employers are bringing back those workers as businesses are opening back up to full operations.

Valid advice by the members but I've been contacted by a Nigerian prince who promised to transfer $50 million to my account anytime now. I'll be on easy street soon. And it only cost me a $199 gift card ????
