The Danish word for what Americans call a “Danish” is actually wienerbrød (Vienna bread), so don’t blame the Danes for American ignorance. (And, by the way, the American version of this delicious treat is far inferior to the original Danish one.)

Huh? What do you mean by that?

That a flight is direct does not mean it has no stops along the way; it simply means that it retains the same flight number throughout.

Yes, that was exactly the point I was trying to make. Thais think that the English word 'visa' is equivalent to the Thai word 'วีซ่า', which it arguably is not. This happens frequently, that loanwords acquire a somewhat different meaning than the original word.
-
I think the confusion arises because the loanword 'วีซ่า' does not have the same restricted meaning as 'visa' does, and as such is used more like a generic catch-all. I believe the proper Thai word for 'visa' is 'การตรวจลงตรา'.

Indeed. Since this issue could very well be an essential clue to determine what actually happened, it's imperative that they get it right. I'm sure that the final report will be interesting.

Interim reports state known facts. As the condition of the locking mechanism was not mentioned, it is possible that it was unknown at the time of writing.

Not according to my CM "hand holding agent" as that was the other option they recommended. According to the immigration officer at Hat Yai Immigration, Songkhla, it is (ask me how I know ).

No, that doesn't work; it is the date that the statements are created that cannot be older than seven days.

Yes, I'm on an extension of stay based on retirement. A couple of weeks ago, I had a visit too. (Hat Yai Immigration, Songkhla.)

I'm neither Thai nor a True customer, but I've been using an app called TrueMoney for several years. It's useful for paying bills and shopping at 7-Eleven. It even has a virtual Mastercard that can be used with Google Wallet.
