Hi, how are you identified at immigration at airport, more specifically Bangkok airport? With passport number? I have read countless times that even if you have a new passport all your information is on the immigration system. When renewing passport your passport number change so how exactly are you identified?

Just something that's been puzzling me.

There's a special camera system built into the overhead that scans nero-electrical output of brain activity (or lack there of ^^) because everyone is unique, just like you.

The whole passport thing is just a clever ruse so you won't notice.

I want to eat my sausage dog everyday and he wants to eat my bacon and greek yogurt  🤔

Does this ^^ sound a little ...off... to anyone else?

How do they plan to enforce the ban on the production of dogs?

Instead, they’re craving high-quality tours tailored for the young, families, luxury enthusiasts, and those yearning for an authentic local experience.

 

“Chinese tourists were also focusing on in-depth tours to experience Thai life firsthand instead of just sightseeing.”

 

This paradigm shift is driven by the young generation’s hunger for unique experiences.

 

Chinese tourists demand villas with ample bedrooms for their entourage and Instagram-worthy hotels that scream selfie  central.

What TAT needs to do is build an authentic "prop site" similar to a Hollywood movie set with a temple, poor village, water park and high-rise buildings with over priced clubs, restaurants and baht buses (similar to "Westworld" the movie).

Bring them in through the cosplay uniform shop where they can dress up like students, teachers, police, etc. and encourage them to do strip-teases on the baht buses en-route to whatever fantasy they've selected.

Hire locals instead of using androids to feign outrage over their behavior, drive the baht buses, play music in the clubs, act as villagers, etc.

Lots of decrepit areas around BKK that could use a facelift and might even get a few non-Chinese as a side bonus.

They are watching everyone, not just me. I don't care why they are watching, they are just watching.

 

I need to go in and out several times a day and it's weird having the eye contact each time. The lady will be staring right at me each time I get out of the elevator, or the security guy will be eyeballing me everytime I return home. It feels weird.

 

I don't do the 'hello' thing because I'm in and out so much and it would be overkill to do it constantly.

Have a T-shirt made that says "Hello" on the front and "Goodbye, Now Stop Starring At Me" on the back.

She visits the daughters 1 month a year. Always glad to return back to Europe. She claims, that after over 20 years in Europe, Thailand is for her just a tourist destination and if it wasn't for the daughters, she would have very little reason to visit Thailand again.

A compromise may take effect: I might stay in Thailand for 3 months a year (Winter). The kids will have to pay for the best (temporary) health insurance for me. Otherwise I won't go as my health is getting "fragile".

If it's a matter of where the healthcare is better and the finances to pay for it, you may want to approach her that way. Surely after you've given her multiple years of Euro-life, she can reciprocate in your last years. After all, she can always return to Europe as a widow.

Get yourself a Non-O married visa at your local Thai embassy and "nudge" the wife into a vacation. A couple of months back in Thailand living in "Not Poverty" and visiting her daughters may take some of the sour off her memories and add some sweet to her new ones.

To answer the original OP - IF you have a job offer in Thailand and WHEN said employer sends you a letter of intent, you would need to go to your local police station and tell them you need a background check to accept an overseas potion and they will fingerprint you and run the search for a fee. It usually includes city, county, state and federal background databases.

Applying for the visa is another story - IF you have 2-6 months before starting said employment you can apply in the US but it must be through the Washington DC branch.

IF said employer wants you to start ASAP then you make all the usual arrangements for a 30-day tourist (return ticket, hotel booking, etc.), fly over and get a 30-day stamp and go directly to your new employer who should provide you with all the paperwork for a visa change from "tourist stamp" to Non-B.

That's how it goes in a perfect world but you're going to Thailand so... Chok Dee.

I see a future where you have to show you conform to all social agendas. There will be Social/Cyber Police evaluating the emojis you posted, your voting rights will depend on your social awareness and behavior, and your taxes will go up for each perceived faux pas.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

This is quite disturbing and scary coming from a non-conformist Santa Clause. Mommy. make the bad man go away!

May have something to do with a "calendar shift" (my term, not official) and "usual" weather is simply shifting around the calendar lining up more accurately with the Aztec Calendar. It turns out that the Aztec calculation of an average 365.2420 days per year is actually closer to the real value of 365.2422 days than the old Julian value of 365.2500 days or even our current Gregorian value of 365.2425 days. Not a large difference but calculated over 2000 years makes an impact.

Could also be a shift due to last years "Arctic Blast" that sent temps in the northern hemisphere plummeting for several days.

From my Thai culture class that was/is/was a requirement for the teacher's license:

There are 3 "Wais" (with slight variations for special occasions, begging forgiveness, royalty, ceremonies, overbearing godlike school directors that will fire you )

Thumbs to your chin for friends, coworkers, casual encounters (on the street, local shops [not 7/11 or supermarket] work meetings)

Thumbs to your mouth for parents (includes in-laws and elderly family)

Thumbs to your forehead for monks.

The first is casual and is used about 80% of the time

The second is because parents gave you breath (life)

The third is because monks give you spiritual enlightenment

I recently got a 10,000 baht visa fine and I'm always looking for new ways to claim the money back.  Maybe eat at restaurant and walk away without paying?  Fill up the tank and drive off?  Drop the GPA by 1 of 200+ students.  Steal the toilet paper in public toilets?  Or just littering more.  Anything to even out the balance.

 

How do you deal with being fined and scammed on almost a monthly basis?

Do it correctly in the first place.

Good karma is the best karma - well done

 Please!!!! Try to restore that heavenly image ASAP! I'm in a state of shock! 

So it's true?? There WAS a shockwave throughout the city??

Indeed. A pointy one, at that.

You should have asked for a self demonstration to make up your mind.

Guaranteed door-to-door service and someone to carry your bags and an hour ride for 1,700 baht vs carrying your own bags, train or shuttle in the wrong direction for an hour followed by carrying your own bags again and then another 2-3 hours on a crowded bus that doesn't end up where you want to go followed by finding a taxi that may or may not get the trip right all to save 50% - Hmmmm....

Stick a crowbar in your wallet and start enjoying your trip.

Very quick to pull the trigger there - I don't think this is about the Ops capacity to be able to drive here...   any official process can be confusing for a  newbie.

 

We need to know more of the the ops situation so we can help him rather than make accusations. 

 

1) Ops Nationality.

2) Ops Visa status.

3) Ops existing licence.

4) Picture of endorsements that he carries.

5) Ops location in Thailand. 

 

 

do you also need his height, weight, bra size and the number for his sister/gf/wife?

Depends and a banana - properly inserted of course.

I always pour my shake in the bong to cool the bud smoke and add flavor

Don't they say, not sure who they is, but don't they say these types will be the first to go, build a fortress to tomorrow and then tiktok a tour. Can't use mercs, the toughest one is just going take over all your stuff, no matter how much Jiu-Jitsu you know it won't be possible to repel the hordes on your own, so the only option must be robotic guard sentries?

 

If I had his money, I'd be contracting these from Japan as we speak. They could tend the crops, monitor the defense laser cannons (think about the movie "Congo") and switch off in bed every night.

Telltale signs you might be too small:

A virgin asks "Is it in yet?"

Your own hand keeps slipping off no matter how short the strokes

Your gf/wife stops blowing to pick some food out of her teeth with it

You're 90 lbs dripping wet and still can't see it when you pee

I would think 1 of the local outdoor bars would accommodate you. 1) They're already loud-ish, 2) They get your drink business, 3) You'd probably draw curious spectators who would then drink, 4) Once established as a place, time, event, you may even get larger participation.

Make arrangements with the owner and manager for a slight discount on volume drinking and a cordoned off area for suedo privacy from wandering drunks.
