I Like Thai

Found good news

https://www.gov.uk/government/world-location-news/are-you-intending-to-transit-via-the-uk

General changes to the Transit Rules

There is no change for airside transit (where you do not enter the UK through border control). You will still not need a visa to transit the UK.

To transit landside through the UK from 1 December you will need to either:

Apply for a visitor in transit visa www.gov.uk/transit-visa

Or

Fulfill all the following criteria:

• you arrive and depart by air
• have a confirmed onward flight which leaves by 23.59hrs the following day
• have the right documents for your destination (e.g. a visa for that country)

I have been looking on the gov.uk/  website looking for details on a Transit visa through Heathrow, but I am always directed towards Visa4UK service website to sign up and apply.

The online application is a nightmare, with a full application that requires to be filled out, pay 84 dollars. Visit the office in BKK with supporting info, then await a decision ( I think)

Here is the scenario

My wife and I are travelling to Ireland next month from Thailand

She is Thai and has a visa for Ireland (Join Spouse)

I am Irish.

We are landing in Heathrow Terminal 4, going to Terminal 1 then flying to Ireland. Total time in Heathrow is 1.5 hours

Can someone please advise if there is an easier way to go through the UK airport, than the long winded procedure that I am constantly routed to when trying to find an easy way online.

Any help much appreciated. At this stage i am contemplating booking another more expensive route that by passes the UK

She needs to apply online at the INIS website

Is the 3 months notice a written contractual obligation that applies equally to employer and employee ?

Is such an arrangement, to use different words , an open ended contract?

The 3 months works both ways...no one writing a contract will ever use the term "open ended" given in most cases in Thailand the WP is a 12 month duration, yes i know you also get a 2 year WP...but typically the duration of your contract is tied to the duration of your WP, simply because if your WP renewal is declined for some reason, the company could leave thrmselves open to a claim stating an "open ended" contract

In case of the OP he is being paid monthly so a month notice period is appropriate whether the contract term is "open ended" or "fixed"

OK. I understand!

Thanks

Let me just say I would never accept a contract which did not have every i dotted and t crossed but it seems some do.

I'd be suspicious if the contract was hand written and not typed.

2008 and still talking in 2015

Lets look to Germany as an example, but drive round with swastikas on our cars, because really we know nothing of anything outside this country other than people come over to spend money and we take as much as we can,

Is that accurate?

Couldn't be bothered reading my eyesights going, feeling psychic though.

I would estimate I hit the nail.

"but drive round with swastikas on our cars, because really we know nothing of anything outside this country "

Are maybe you are the one knowing nothing about swastika, an ancient symbol used in Hinduism and Buddhism.

in Vietnam you can find Buddhist temples with swastikas on and this temples are 200 years old.... so...

You are the one who knows nothing about the use of the swastika in Thailand. No maybe on that. The person you criticize is referring to the love affair that many Thais have with Nazi symbols. You obviously do not know the difference. Here's a primer for you;

How do you expect to be taken seriously if you consider behaviour such as this religious based?

The last photo is quite something. Will you now insist that this clueless twit is a very religious woman celebrating Buddhism?

Most rational people people will see her for what she is: An uneducated, ignorant fool celebrating Adolf.

I suggest you get out more often.

What about this guy

QUOTES from POSSUM

Ha Ha So all the songs are glorifying wars??????? Wars are not about the good and bad guys? What about a country that occupies another country?

So one country is in another country against the will of the people and murdering them, and they are not bad guys?? Enough said.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

War songs glorify the "heroic" deeds that misled victims inflict on other victims.

Do you know any war songs that talk about the true courses of war: internal party politics, geo politics, oil or coal, hiso games, greed, religion and other backward philosophies etc, and about what wars do to their victims?

I would very much like that type of war songs, if you know any, please post them.

Would these meet with your approval

I don't know why I am always surprised to hear in South East Asia, that America "is interfering" just because an opinion was expressed. Is that the best that they can come up with?

Maybe they have good reason to resent American "Interference" in their country

http://www.yale.edu/cgp/Walrus_CambodiaBombing_OCT06.pdf

The still-incomplete database (it has several “dark” periods) reveals that from October 4, 1965, to August 15, 1973, the United States dropped far more ordnance on Cambodia than was previously believed: 2,756,941 tons’ worth, dropped in 230,516 sorties on 113,716 sites. Just over 10 percent of this bombing was indiscriminate, with 3,580 of the sites listed as having “unknown” targets and another 8,238 sites having no target listed at all

They should get their own house in order

No but I wish I had been as the food was terrible

I have never had terrible food in a restaurant, but I have had food which I can't stand and which I did not ask for put

on my plate along with my main meal, and have walked out without having to be thrown out. That is my main hate about eating in a restaurant, and

why I sometimes have to go to McDonalds or KFC when I'm on my travels.

So when the food fixed for you isn't fixed just right you get your fixed food fix fixed up at KFC/McD's? ....And that fixes everything?

You have got everything wrong here, You should read my post again. I do not eat Thai food as it all has either fruit and veg which I do not like, except completely liquidised.

If a certain food is not on the menu, it should not be given. In a restaurant which serves Western food along with Thai food, if the menu says ie, Ham Omelette, with French Fries, and I ask for it with no salad, I do not expect my omelette to be filled with salad.

So what are you on about, the food 'isn't fixed just right'? I am really surprised at you, as I thought you were one of the more sensible posters.

If you asked for a hamburger and got a burger made out of beef, would you leave ? What if you ordered a Hot Dog and got something that tasted like cat, would that make you leave, never to return ?

The Bright side

While they argue the religious mumbo jumbo of the middle east here in the UK we have the stone circles of Stonehenge which pre date any sort of existing modern religion.

Built 5000 years ago by neolithic man it begs the question where were the so called gods of the Jewish,Muslim and Christian religions?

As a staunch non believer all I see from religion is death and destruction.

However, the Middle East is also full of Pre-Abrahamic sites. Gilgal Refaim and the Dolmen in parts of Golan, for one. Generally I would say that ideological systems such as the Abrahamic family are merely very gradual mutations over a vast range of time of far more ancient myths / practice's / perceptions of the world, and how groups of people sought to make meaning out of life and how a few people in such communities worked out that you can create elites with such concepts and skim the cream off the top of the mixture. If someone looks at Religion and only sees death and destruction, there is certainly plenty of blood soaked torturous history to go back through and highlight and then exclude everything else if someone wished to, but equally a vast amount of history of community support, life purpose and stability if one cares to look. We can look at non religious society's today and easily find a sadistic amount of merciless selfish dog eat dog and misery present. We see what we want to see, really.

Rumour has it that an ancient inscription inside translates as " Paddy was here"

“I rushed to the AOT staff at the x-ray point"

"I quickly told the Thai Smile ground staff about the loss"

"Mr Tantai said upon his return, he went straight to the Tourism Assisstance Centre.The staff there said they couldn̕t help and told him to go to the police."

“There was a policeman on duty, but he said he couldn't take a report,” said Mr Tantai"

Maybe he should have went to Subway and asked if it was handed in, or found by a staff member ?

I think when it comes to forces apart from googling where as the SAS are always at number 1, I would have the forces in this order:

1. SAS

2. SBS

3. Royal Marines

4. Paratroopers

5. US Navy feelers

Logics dictates that the seals are better, If the SAS was better why let the US rescue Brits. It was Team Six, not the SAS, which was chosen to try to res- cue British aid worker Linda Norgrove in Afghanistan in 2010.

Other logic also makes it clear why the seals would be better as the SAS.. of course the Brits would never admit it but there is just a far lager pool of able bodies to select from. (USA being a lot bigger). Why do you think big countries usually win the Olympics and small countries only rarely.. not because the big countries are that much better but because of the pool of able bodies to select from. Not to mention the USA has far more financial strength and technological aid.

But hey keep the flag waving going without logic or reason, and no I am not American, I am Dutch.. but they say I hate Americans here on the board because i dared to comment on their extradition laws. So here is a third party unbias who gives some logic please counter it with logic and not flag waving.

It's a well known fact the SAS are number 1. Even every American soldier served with them would admit that. If you Google also you will find they come up as number 1 in every search. The training involved to get into the SAS is horrendous and about a year ago three people died during training. The SAS Success rate is also a key factor them being the number 1 special forces in the world.

They ran away and abandoned their mission in Operation Mikado

Then I'd go and verbally abuse all the Baht Bus drivers, then run and hide for the rest of the day.

We'd get months of interesting stories from Jingting on his escapades and run ins with all the drivers

It might help if you said what speed you have 1,200 bht is not a download speed

Go into device manager on your pc, under network adapters have a look at your wireless card

802.11b or g and you have a poor wireless card, if you have an "n" class card then you are capable of higher speeds

You may also have other issues with your pc, update your service pack, update your browser versions, run a virus guard.

Turn off your router (unplug) with all devices disconnected, plug it back in, wait until DS/US lights are solid before reconnecting.

Keep your router away from metal/glass and other electrical devices

Place it up high away from walls.

If you have an android smart phone, go to the app store and download a wi fi analyzer, this will show your wi fi signal and other wi fi signals that may be interfering with yours

Operational microwaves, baby monitors and CCTV cameras will destroy your wi fi

You also may just have terrible cabling

The Friedrich Ebert Foundation -- which has ties to Germany's Social Democratic Party -- describes itself as an organisation promoting "the ideas and principles of social democracy".

Should the press, all press, not be neutral in all matters and not support any particular side in anything, but go about reporting in an unbiased manner ?
