Mass Migrant Crossing Floods Texas Border Facilities
Andrew65 replied to Scott's topic in World News
It's the same in the UK. The Republican/Conservative Party want lots of exploitable labour for their rich mates. Whilst the Democrat/Labour Party want lots more poor people who will vote for them. So, everyone's happy!???? -

America's supply of agricultural workers? -
Just now: Big fire on Sukhumvit Soi 3 near the traffic lights

I believe that the starting pay for a Thai police officer is around 8,000-10,000 Baht a month, so we shouldn't be surprised when they look for "alternative" ways of getting money???? -
It can be done for you, and you might just have to sign a piece of paper. You should always declare ANY previous convictions (however minor) (which I believe is the case for an ESTA to the USA). 35 years ago I was fined £200 in court for bringing too many ciggies back from Thailand, that's a very minor offence, but I always write it down when such information is requested.

The Thais wouldn't want to do anything that might reduce tourism numbers, even by a little bit.
-
I was once stopped by a cop at LHR when flying to Bangkok and asked where I was travelling to.

Non life-threatening, how long's a piece of string?! In the UK it's also possible to go private and be in within a few weeks. The only problem being is that many people just can't afford to "go private", or pay for health insurance. (I believe a similar situation exists in the USA?).
-
I don't think that a third party actual has access "into" the database. It's that a search is carried out on request to the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service). I have requested and had to pay for one myself (job application). Also, a potential employer can do so (for which I think they need our signature/permission).

Earlier this year my brother suffered his first heart attack, and within 2 weeks he had had the bypass operation. I think it depends a lot on the seriousness of the condition.

"That is not possible so I don't know why you plucked that one from the sky as an option". I'm pretty sure that when us Brits (and any other nationality) applies for a visa (a visa-waiver) to the USA that a CRC (Criminal Record Check) is/or can be carried out. I believe that a drugs conviction can often lead to us being denied.

Are BPH really that expensive? I had mates who used other private Thai hospitals and some of their bills were "eyewatering" (£30k+), but then again I come from a country where we're not used to using private healthcare. I believe that healthcare costs were a major factor in many retirees returning to their home countries.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Tony Martin went down for manslaughter in the UK for the exact same thing.
-
So, you were renting the house from your daughter through Air-B&B? (Which is what I specifically mentioned).
-
Part of why Air-B&B was a bit problematic in Thailand. I believe that anywhere that rents rooms out for less than 30 days must be registered as a hotel What you mention is part of the process of checking in a hotel.

One of the upshots of allowing visa-free travel.

If the Devil were to cast his net in Thailand...

Schizo? Someone defending their property? (He would have been a national hero in the States).
-
In the UK we all rememberTony Martin.
-
The only time I did it there was 6 or 7 years ago, and I had to go inside. Obviously changed since then, but it was very quick when I did it there.
-
Well they do take your photo on arrival now, so anything's possible, but...TIT!???? Edit: They then just have to look at when you were stamped in and which address you put on your TM6. Should be easy, even for the boys in brown!?????

Does Thailand really want to become a cannabis tourism hotspot?
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It wouldn't be enforced in Thailand anyway, same as drink-driving and many other laws. -

What about when they rent a car? In my home town in the UK more people are now busted for drug-driving than drunk driving. The limits for drug-driving are set very low indeed. -
They're equipped with all the info from all the people informing on overstayers!????
-
I know it's only one case, but in my 20 years of living in Thailand I was never once asked for ID on the street, or anywhere except for the bank.
-
I had an old friend who used to moan about it, and he used to do the 90 days by mail. He now uses an agent and has to do the 90 days in person. I got the impression that he had become rather 'lazy'!
