Would be interesting to know how many of the calendars included in the 50m baht quotation actually were printed and delivered...

I would think thai govt and esp TAT and BoT would be happy as this means foreigners bring their cash to thailand instead of traveling to Vietnam. If not enough local workers, need to just import workers to satisfy demand and keep forex coming to thailand.

Anyway at least the run was well named

Frequency of tourism up and down changes going up. Wonder where could get Thai-tourism-up-down-frequency measurement device. Measured frequency number would be sure bet in lottery.

I bet some kind of nice photo shoot or dance video of the trio prawit, prayut and taksin would be much more attention grabbing to drive durian sales and price up. Add Anutin hitting the beat with a gong would be a bonus.

Honesty anywhere in Thailand is largely fiction!

Hmmm... Maintenance center for flying things in a country where maintenance is an unknown concept...

Based on the picture it looks like 19th century rice mill. Obviously with 19th century safety features.

555 As long as remains in the short leash installed by conservatives, I don't think he has much to worry as both parties have a lot to gain. Rememer who controls judical system. Question is rather whether we will see further entertaining developments with the arrangement he has with power holders. I believe we will

Wonder ir there is any single individual in this world who knows anything about taksin and thai politics and would have believed the narrative in the first place. The whole thing was was too obvious. Same thing goes for the 'negotiations' about possibly forming govt with MFP. Just smoke and mirrors to haze the plan incl truce with conservatives.

What's the shocking part?? Ladyboys fighting with someone is about as shocking as an Isaan lady eating Som tam with extra plara shot.

Next news story about a thai ship that hit land due to brake failure.

...and the very same tattoos stretched to unrecognizable patterns due to obesity the was the final nail in the coffin.

Sent an email to LTR office, and they replied quickly. In conclusion, it seems there is no issue at all to do as I was thinking, rather it was just the lady in LTR counter who was not familiar with details. Actually handy to have contact to ask questions like this directly in writing vs. the usual mumbling with vague and changing answers in Jomtien immigration... ------------------- Referring to your inquiries, please see the answer as follows: 1. I visit in home country in July, and apply new passport while there (would be much easier and cheaper for me there than in Thailand via embassy in Bangkok) Answer: Yes, it is okay to get a new passport form overseas. 2. I come back to Thailand in September, and show both the new passport and the old passport (with the LTR visa stamp) at immigration. I know that the validity of old passport would not be enough to enter, but I would have the new passport also. Answer: Your current passport which contained LTR Visa is still valid. You have got a stay permit stamp equal to the expiration date of your passport which is 4 November 2025. Therefore, you can use it to enter Thailand in September. 3. I come to BOI office to transfer the visa in September after arrival to Thailand (old passport would have 1-2 months of validity left). Answer: After arrived Thailand in September, you should transfer your LTR Visa to your new passport before your current passport expire on 4 November 2025. Kind regards, LTR Visa Member Team

Old passport would only have 1-2 mo validity left at that time so would immigration let me enter without showing new passport? If so, would they stamp old or new passport? Anyway seems I tried to be too smart/lazy optmising number of required visits to Bangkok and not paying extra for embassy for passport. End result maybe that I do one visit more than I would have needed to do by getting new passport before getting the LTR stamp. I just sent an enquiry to LTR office about this, see what they reply.
