Operation "Lanna Force Check" Targets Foreign Nationals
I'm off to CM immigration tomorrow as my under consideration period for my marriage extension is up. I hope they are not going to tie me to a chair and interrogate me before they stamp my passport!

UK passport renewal
I believe that Phuket has a VFS Global office. I renewed my UK passport office at the VFS office in Chiang Mai earlier this year with no problems apart from the 10 weeks processing time... All you pay for is your new passport plus delivery to Thailand. There should be no reason to use an agent.

Thai women trafficked into Indian brothel seek legal action
Naivety appears to be the problem here. If something sounds to good to be true....then it probably is.

Leaving Thailand soon.
What are their names? Hatari and Sharp?

How do Thais stay slim?
Are you referring to the younger age groups? Because when I was in my teens, twenty's and most of my thirty's I could have eaten everything you mention by the bucket load and never put on an ounce of weight. They probably have naturally very fast metabolisms.

3BB down, anyone else? (3 Sep 23)
Same. We are Chiang Mai based and the router showing internet but not receiving any data really confused me! I've never seen that before. The website, call centers and membership app all appear to be down as well. This is clearly a major outrage for 3bb.

The Simple Reason Why You Wake Up Earlier As You Age
I have my own built in alarm clock. It's called my bladder and it wakes me up at pretty much bang on 5:30 every morning. Which is an ideal time to start my exercise routine.

Where I live Ive noticed more locals are not obsessed with wearing the facial mask anymore. But some still are.
Why does it bother you what others do? Personally I will still wear a mask where it is required and sometimes out of respect for those I'm interacting with.

Marriage extensions - Kror Ror 22 copy needs to be recent?
I did my marriage extension at CM about 3 weeks ago with a 2 year old KR 2 (not a KR 22) with no problems what do ever. In fact 2 years ago the immigration officer we dealt with actually gave me back to original stamped copy and told me go and photocopy it and keep the original for the following year.

They're watching your every move....
No. For the most part I have always found them to be very understanding of my potential ignorance to their cultural ways.

Residency Certificate, CM Airport Immigration.
I had mine mailed to me for 60 baht back in June. I would imagine this hasn't changed since then.

Finding my WiFi password.
Do you mean your phone's personal hotspot? If so, just got to your phone's settings, do a search for hotspot and it should display the phone's username and password under configuration or similar. Obviously you have to turn it on as well.

Buying a long lasting electric jug?
You've jinxed it now! We also have an Electrolux kettle which is about three years old. It has out lived all the previous kettles that I have owned in 14 years of living in Thailand. And that includes a 2000 baht one I bought from Power buy which died within a year.

I can't spurt anymore.
I might be mistaken but I think he has problems with his kettle, not his old fella...

When cooking at home in Thailand, what pan do you use? Which one is safe?
Ceramic is safer than Teflon.... Apparently!

How Thai people will see us foreigners
There is only a small percentage of Thais that are interested in foreigners. Basically the ones who choose to travel and then work in the places where foreigners tend to gather. The wolves follow the sheep... The majority have zero interest in us because they have way more interesting things to occupy themselves. We are completely irrelevant within their lives.

Copy old passport for new passport renewal?
Attached is the current requirements from Bangkok's immigration office. However, your local immigration office may do things a little differently... For example, I transferred my extension stamps to my new British passport earlier this year at the Chiang Mai office. But I didn't need a certificate from the embassy and the application form was completely different from the Bangkok one.
