looking forward to some totally meaningless conversations with a fellow loser soon.

 

oh, and its definitely gonna be mcdonalds or burger king for dinner. Sue me. 

For a start, it's going to, not gonna! 

Phetchabun is a nice place with Kao Kho and Pu Taburk national parks and mountain resorts close by. Popular with Thais during winter

It was on the Runway Taxiing.....

It said 'as it cruised along the runway'. Not the taxiway.

You can get a better alternative called MetaMucil on Lazada

Here in Phetchabun, Immigration told me that I do not need to report as long as I am returning to the same address, even when returning from overseas.

Did you notice the car had no number plate!!

I have the same issue. Yes you can apply 30/45 days before but the 30 approval period is from the current extension expiry date, not from the date you apply unless there are emergency circumstances. But......

“Illegal” prostitute.  Then legal prostitutes are are approved?  Never attempt to understand the why of LOS.  Just accept it and carry on.  In the last 7 years my ability to think analytically and logically has been diminished.  This is because I have been living in CNX almost on a full time basis.  

As far as I'm aware there is no legal prostitution in Thailand. It's all illegal. 

I have not received email asiannews for about 1 week. Have i done something wrong or are you on holidays? 

Thank you for your helpful replies. That answers my question so I can apply 30 days in advance.

My non O extension based on marriage is due to be renewed on the 27th Feb 2023. I have to go overseas on the 15th March which gives me less than the required 30 days for approval. Can I go overseas before the extension is approved and, if so, how do I get back into the country. 

If not, can i apply early enough prior to the extension due date to give me the required 30 days? 

I did enquire at my local IO but they didn't want to know.

So, my Thai isn't much special, but นางงามเพ็ญ นาคสวัสดิ์ อายุ 79 ปี นั่งอยู่เบาะคนขับ และนายวิโรจน์ นาคสวัสดิ์ อายุ 94 ปี สามีนั่งเบาะข้างคนขับ tells me that the woman was in the driver's seat and the man was in the seat next to the driver.

 

Miss Ngampen Naksawat, 79 years old, sat in the driver's seat.  and Mr. Wiroj Naksawat, 94 years old, her husband sitting in the driver's seat

I'm booked in March to Melbourne. Cheaper than Jetstar

In Australia  where a sign indicates, it is permisable to turn left on red light, after stopping, then proceeding to turn left as long traffic from the right through the green is not interfered with. This has been a Traffic Act Law in most States for a decade or more.

Sadly not Victoria although with the bigger roads than most other states slip roads are generally provided which achieves the same thing

Here in Buriram, when opposing lights both change green together, the usual procedure is that cars that want to turn right expect to go before those going straight on. When I happen to be on "pole position" and am going straight, I invariably force the issue and make the wayward drivers turning right stop and allow me to go first........as is my right. Police are often in attendance, but as one would expect never do anything!

I think you will find that Thai law in this is not the same as elsewhere. In Thailand right turners have right of way so they don’t clog up the intersection

They say they have no parents but then one says "it's ok, my dads in the military"?

Very much so. I used to live near Chumphae and know this road well (major Route 12 from Tak (west) across North Thailand to Mukdahan (east). Despite being a well surfaced road, from Lomsak to Chumphae most of it becomes an ordinary 2-way road which ascends and descends, also twisting and turning among the hills of the Nam Nao National Park. The photo below shows the Huai Tong Bridge which has steep approach roads either side and is curved itself. A good view point.

 

 

 

Also the site where a bus failed to turn onto the bridge after a long curvy downhill stretch, I'm guessing, about 8 years ago. Took to the air and ended in the ravine.  30 or 40 people died. Very sad.

Tell me a European country that would carry out such ridiculous and extreme measures as you are proposing just to go on holiday!

 

There would be an exodus, all the way back to countries that didn't enforce such nonsense.

 

Where do criminal record checks start and finish by the way? When are they considered minor? When are they considered ;' spent ' convictions?

 

When you have convicted drug traffickers who served time in Australian prisons, (a country with a strong rule of law and order and a good respectable court system) in the present day Thai government, how is that going to work?

 

Many of the Thais wouldn't be able to leave Thailand if such proposals were put in place by other countries as a reciprocal agreement to such a proposal.

I thought every visitor to Australia had to obtain a visa first? 

Same as happened in Hong Kong some years ago. Tourist area, on a hill, narrow lane.

Yes, Phetchabun, not Phetchaburi

Along time since i went there but I'm pretty sure they have song tor's there to take you across. Used to go all the time for 3 month renewals on O visa.

I am no longer receiving news emails. These stopped from the 30th July.
