  1. Yes. Go to youtube and look up 101 East Thailand's Fearless Cop. One of the few to stand up and do the right thing, a career officer, had his life destroyed and fled to Melbourne as he feared for his life. Very sad and shameful for the country. ????
  2. It won't happen this time around. Multiple reports of a 30-day Under Consideration stamp for Bangkok applications. Haven't heard any new reports that differ from this. ????
  3. It's the same in America though we try to hide it better, unlike here where it's in plain view. But sometimes it's truly obvious when a clown ends up in the oval office. ????
  4. Better: Just drop the program altogether. If they intend to categorize covid as endemic this year, then the first step would be to stop all this gatekeeping.
  5. Found them for 29baht/kg at Tesco just yesterday. Not everyone's gouging. I never buy them from Top/Gourmet/Central. They are always 79 and up there. Seen them as high as 199 off season.
  6. You have got to be the dumbest dude on the planet to mess with a wild animal like this. Mike is totally in the wrong, but why would you taunt a tiger knowing it could turn on you at any moment? #DeathWish This guy's gonna have a really bad hangover. https://youtu.be/V3C4pWwDqps
  7. Thanks for the report. Glad it went okay. Wow...disappointing to hear that they are back to doing Under Consideration stamps in Bangkok. And worse yet...it's 30 days to come back, it used to be 10-15 days UC. ????
  8. Agree! Philippines has a retirement visa that you only need to be 35 years of age to qualify for. Thailand could do the same.
  9. The mere involvement of a third party "fixer" in his prior visit to the kingdom becomes the "gateway" to abuse by less "straight-shooting" IOs. Had there been no dodgy ED visa arranged by a fixer, they would have to either let him in or deny entry for a legitimate reason. Therefore, never involve an agent who is doing "more than just paperwork" to sort you out. You just open yourself up to abuse later on.
  10. "THAILAND is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and has no specific domestic legal framework for protection of urban refugees and asylum-seekers. As such, urban refugees and asylum-seekers may be treated as illegal aliens unless they have a valid visa issued pursuant to the Thai Immigration Act. Absent a valid visa, they may be subject to arrest, prosecution and detention on immigration charges, irrespective of their status with UNHCR. In this context, UNHCR Thailand supports the progressive introduction of alternatives to detention (ATDs) as part of its advocacy for an overall domestic legal protection framework for persons of concern to UNHCR."

  11. Yes, if you are on TR (not visa exempt), then nothing has changed for you. TR is still handled at CW.
  12. You'll find some of those cum dust extractors around Sukhumvit.
  13. *EDIT* Sorry for the incorrect tittle. TR is still at Chaeng Wattana. Only Visa Exempt goes to this new location at IT Square Lak Si.

  15. You can read the reviews, sounds like it's pretty fast. https://goo.gl/maps/U6pMECwcX5zYnZbZ6
  16. The bad news is that there is 0% chance of you staying here legally with the "7-days" stamp. It's a final decision and you must leave. You can leave and attempt to re-enter, but you absolutely will be unable to get any extension with that stamp.
  17. https://www.nst.com.my/world/world/2022/03/783623/thailand-malaysia-land-border-entry-will-comply-sops Deputy Governor of Songkhla province, Amphon Pongsuwan, said the two border gates of Sadao (Songkhla province)-Bukit Kayu Hitam (Kedah) and Wang Prachan (Satun)-Wang Kelian (Perlis) will be reopened to tourists fully vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine, starting from April 1.
