Teaching Time: Is analog English out?
mrwebb8825 replied to phuketsub's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
Ah, but "later" is used to destroy all hope of it ever happening w/o being negative while "Coming Soon" is used to string you along til you realize they meant "later". ???? -

Teaching Time: Is analog English out?
mrwebb8825 replied to phuketsub's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
and parts of the body as I learned from a British Lady coworker. Seems Americans keep our "fanny" in the back and everyone has 1 where as in England... As for teaching Time in primary school here in Thailand, I (used to teach, 21 yrs, now retired) taught analog and digital combined as Thai time appears to be based on the military 24 hour clock hence hearing "21 o'clock" a an answer to 9pm. Our favorite "game" was me drawing blank clocks (round and rectangular) and writing the time and then reversing it by drawing the time and having the student write it. Took generally 10 minutes to set up and run through every (or every other) morning and made for a nice eye opener for the day's lesson. -
it it Incongruent for Thailand to open its borders now?
mrwebb8825 replied to In Full Agreement's topic in General Topics
Since Thailand has suffered such a huge financial loss due to covid lockdown, border closures and travel restrictions, I propose they restart (on a limited basis) the multi-entry "border jumper special" visa/extension practice BUT, charge a 10,000 thb exit fee. Just line up at the border, passport in 1 hand, cash in the other, drop, stamp and on your way. Of course, this will need to be coordinated and coupled with a "Fee For Private Opening" of Thai consulates where you arrive, line up, passport in 1 hand, cash in the other, drop, deny, return, rinse and repeat 2x and on your way back to the border. Now, for reentry ideas.... -
Extend visa at police station
mrwebb8825 replied to Tayida's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes OP - Yes of course you can. The RTP will also be glad to help with overstay issues. I highly recommend anyone on overstay to head to their closest police station to get this matter cleared up. Lines are MUCH shorter too. Here's your sign ???? -
There are plenty of people in my family that smoke(d). Many have died. (that's pretty much how life ends) Only 2 younger than 80+ including the nonsmokers. Quitting smoking adds 10 years to your life but it adds them to the end where you're rolling around in a chair, drooling and pooping your pants. I like my family a little more than that so I think I'll keep enjoying my life while upright and coherent. To OP - Local shop operators around here (7/11, Max Value, Mom & Pop) all say waiting on new tax - They're all pretty much buying and stocking what they believe they can sell in 2-3 days. (I'm in BKK) CP owned 7/11's know you'll be back whether they stock while waiting or not so don't really care about lost revenue.

Round trip plane ticket required?
mrwebb8825 replied to sdweller's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You should just buy a VR Headset and a box of condoms. Updatable and reusable (except the condoms). No lines, no visas, no hassles. ???? -
Will I be required to leave Thailand
mrwebb8825 replied to STD Warehouse's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This is probably the 1st time in a yr I can say, "Too bad you're not American". Went to the embassy and applied for and received a 1 year, emergency passport in about an hour. An actual, trimmed down version of a full 10 yr passport with around 6 pages for stamp transfer and extension entry. ???? -
Matter of confusion; I have a drop down menu listed as "Wallet" on Binance.com and use it to see Fiat-Spot where it shows my coins and current crypto money BUT I don't seem to have a "wallet" so I added the extension to get a wallet on Binance Smart Chain. Then I added SHIB and BNB to the platforms and both show 0$ even though they're not 0$ on Binance.com.

only reason I can think of that a school would push for you to change is they can do a WP for a Non-B by messenger. Last WP I had on my Non-O extension required my wife to come and we needed our marriage cert. Seems the labor dept. sees working on a Non-O as a way to get around an immigration check. IMHO

Any alternative to hard dry dog food?
mrwebb8825 replied to Kenny202's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
you really want cheap, all-natural dining for your dog? Raise rabbits, chickens, squirrels and cats. Turn 1 loose every day in a large cage and teach your dog to kill.
