Just wish renewing my marriage visa could be done online and just make an appointment to see the head of immigration in Rayong and pay ......

Why are they showing a F35 vstol engine and vertical lift fan? I know the fan is made by RR but what is the connection to Thai Airways?

These US yellow buses still have crashes .... just saying

 

But it's a big thing when it happens and it's investigated then appropriate action taken.

They need to adopt the yellow school bus system of the US with roadworthy vehicles and trained drivers.

Nor can you take everything Trump says literally (just as you couldn't w/ Obama & others).

That's an understatement!

even the Bruce Springsteen pub band pulled out .......

It was very hot yesterday afternoon and the sea was quite calm and the beach is on the sheltered side of Koh Samet so maybe the guy had a heart attack or stroke if he hadn't been drinking enough water. As someone posted most of the beaches on Samet are good for children with their gentle slopes.

they'd have to wind them carts up a bit - the video all looks rather boring and sedate for my liking

and it sounds like an episode of the jetsons ....

I hope these changes actually produce some racing, our group of friends were getting bored last season and some were switching to indycar. Motogp (all classes) wipes the floor with F1 for excitement and Sepang Malaysia had a 90,000 sell out for motogp and only 30,000 for F1. Even Niki Lauda said of the Italian motogp round that it was better to watch than F1.

Who do they plan to fight with ??

 

i wonder how many of the experts posting about aircraft have actually served, flew or maintained a military aircraft?

 

Me, 26 years, fighter and bomber aircraft maintenance, USAF and the problem with all the engagements since WWII have been screwed with by politicians.

so you just posted so you could boast, I bet the ladies love it when you talk technical.

Yes, I can confirm the crash was this morning in Hat Yai.

I watched the video this morning ( read some comments in another item regarding the crash) and it looked to me like the pilot rolled inverted then pushed the stick fwd to raise the nose then pulled the stick back as if he was going to do a loop without enough altitude.

Edit. more experienced guys than me said he messed up an Immelman turn

Dude.. let's just be honest about the fact that America for the past decade lost every war in the middle east and central asia despite any f-16s, f-18s and f22s, where they have been fighting zero air-to-air combat missions. With f35 on the horizon, imagine how many issues this piece of crap already has. 

I know what you're saying but the US has been fighting with one hand tied behind it's back as the politicians won't let the military prosecute wars with a purely military objective. If you're talking air superiority as far as the US airforce is concerned (and navy + marines to a lesser extent) is not so much the machine as the system and tactics. By this I mean, defence suppression ( like wild weasels), fighter aircraft , electronic countermeasures and awacs etc. The F15 is still an awesome aircraft as shown by the Israelis alone so I don't the US is looking too bad. 

For what Thailand needs they should have just bought more F16's, still the best all round aircraft in the world and it does most things including ground attack and in fact beat purpose built ground attack planes in bombing competitions when it 1st went into service. Maybe buy a few F18 super hornets to make up a few squadrons.

Yes you have had the opportunity to use bankruptcy, just because you don't know how to use the carefully crafted system that congress has devised does not mean can't use it. Bankruptcy laws are a joke and I hope it will be addressed by the Trump administration. He has said that he only used the laws of the land for his business dealings and that he does not necessarily agree with them but you can't compete if you don't use all the tools available.

Yes and a lot of ordinary traders and craftsmen suffered for it and he's not repentant.

The pilot who crashed his plane at Shoreham, killing 11 people, is being investigated by detectives over possible manslaughter by gross negligence.

Andrew Hill, 52, from Hertfordshire, was flying a vintage Hawker Hunter fighter-bomber when it crashed onto the A27 in West Sussex on August 22 last year.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/12136785/Shoreham-crash-pilot-Andy-Hill-was-involved-in-another-air-incident-a-year-earlier.html

The pilot in the Shoreham Air Show crash that killed 11 people was involved in another aviation incident a year before the disaster, it has been claimed.

You clearly are unaware of the circumstances of either incident- the only stupidity is your comment. RIP to the Grippen pilot (the Shoreham pilot survived).

Sorry but I am, both pilots tried doing their 'stunts' without enough altitude and the Shoreham pilot murdered 11 people.

Here is the video of Had Yai accident. Jas Grippen. 

 

He seems more stupid than the Hawker Hunter display pilot in the UK ........

thanks for info rixalex & ubonjoe

time to look for land between Cambodia & Vietnam before the price goes up or has it all been bought before the announcement?

Does anyone know which resorts are being torn down, I have never seen any mention of the specific encroachments?. Wong Duen beach comes to mind as the bars are almost in the sea ....

I did my 90 day notification over the internet and received the email confirmation on the 13th December but didn't download the notification approved at the time but when I later went to download it the 90 day notification part of the immigration website has been down since then. I didn't try the website everyday as xmas and a few other things distracted me but I have tried every day for a week or so and it seems it's permanently down now. It used to go down for a few days in the past and I'd even posted my application on a Saturday without a problem but has something changed?. I need to go to Rayong immigration to get advice on renewing my marriage extension and possibly to get a re-entry  permit, will I get fined for overstay as I've found they can be quite obtuse and look for any problem?. I tried the immigration service online contact page but I can't see the captcha image to enter the security key .......

Cheers in advance.

Don't forget La La Land has broken the record for the most Golden Globe Awards, winning seven prizes.

I'm watching the news conference now on youtube, I can't believe how up himself the Donald is and he talks about himself in the third person. The guy has serious issues.

Down here on the dark side until about an hour ago. Running slow and erratic still. Received a couple of hacked Facebook posts last week but I think that is s Facebook problem. One from my wife's sister - a testimonial and video advertising Durex condoms.  

Trying to watch BBC on filmon and it pauses frequently.
