Preparing for my application and reading what they have on their website. Saw this: "The LTR visa stay permit is granted for a period of 5 years upon initial entry into Thailand; however, its validity is strictly limited to the expiration date of the passport" If I understand this correctly, the validity starts after first entry to Thailand, however if I am already in Thailand, does it start when it is issued? If not, when? Also, as my plan is to get the visa issued to my old passport expiring end of this year, and then get a new passport when visiting home country in summertime, I assume I can enter the country with new passport, showing the visa in old passport, and then have the visa transferred to new passport when here(?)

Friend who was in Pai lately told his observation was that majority of these partying Israeli youth groups up there appeared to actually be Russian. Sure not of all Israelis, nor even Israelis in Thailand and likely not even in Pai. Just those that cause issues lately. Have not been there myself this year though, so 2nd hand info. But knowing Russian behaviour sounds reasonable. Many Israelis actually are Russians.

It system supplier did not agree to deliver thick enough envelopes so deal was off.

Looks like fallen over in curve i.e too high speed. Driver probably assumed gravity does not apply to whatever he thought he was transporting. Or never heard of gravity in the first place.

Well, mama is vaping in Pattaya and grandma who is acting as mother has never even heard about vaping. That's it about parental guidance

"Israelis" most of whom speak Russian...and of conscription age males... Would be good for media to report true nature of these "Israelis"

Most of the "Israelis" in question are actually Russians who have Israeli passport. For some reason majority of them belong to age bracket optimal for fighting on foreign lands (with weapons)

I just bought a new washing machine to replace the 10+ year old that terminated her contract. Very relaxing to sip coffee or cold beer while machine is quietly doing it's job, while waiting to hear different type moaning later.

Better just focus more to teach about their magnificent history and ensure they will become obedient citizens. Dangerous to teach language as well as many other things to masses.

Fair is matter of interpretation, as is law. As long as you stay out of the country or don't break any law or don't end up to any civil case with local while here, you are likely treated fair. But if you break any of these, and end up to the legal system, against a local, odds are that you will not be treated fair in your mind, though the other party might disagree. At the end, you are at fault as if you would not have come to thailand, the issue would not have happened in the first place.

How about your feeling for the sounds when you hear the same thai ladies getting their tantrums with the traditional yakyak sounds, and the silence following the episode?

555 okay. Never heard the term before. Learning something new every day!

"... Develop gambling problem..."? No need to develop, they have already. The purpose of these new casinos is to milk as much money from foreigners as possible. Thais will largely be forbidden in those, esp middle and lower classes. Main Target is Chinese, Korean and Japanese as secondary. Current thai gambling system will stay, too much for police to loose to let that be distracted.

What is "mane" road? I live down the Soi but never heard it called mane road. Luckily live far enough not to hear the roar of the cat though, but recall seeing the guy and the cat on a ride with the Bentley when it also was on news.

Looks like Russians
