How many more topics does this story need? ????

Submitted 16 August, due 28th, approved 30th. Hopefully next report will revert to more timely approvals.

Approved! Email arrived late last night. Submitted 16 August, approved 30 August. 14 days this time.

Same here. Mine is due on 28th August, applied online 16th, still pending. I have an appointment booked to go to CW on 4 September in case it doesn't get approved by then but I think I'll just cancel it given I've seen reports of people getting online applications approved as long as 22 days after submission. My rationale is I've done my bit by reporting within the time limits and have both the email receipt of the application and system screenshots showing it still pending. I don't intend to put myself out going to CW just because Immigration don't have enough staff or are on a "d##k about go-slow". One fly in the ointment of late has been that my last 3-4 submissions have come back rejected only for me to submit EXACTLY the same information again a day later and get approved anything between 2 and 5 days later. Did make me wonder whether that was the precursor to the current shambles with hitting the reject button being used to reduce the backlog until such stage as they threw the towel and and just said screw it with us being where we are today. The problem being of course that when they reject it while you are still in the time-frame you have the opportunity to re-submit, if they reject it after the 7 day grace period they could argue you submitted a late report, fine please. If it comes to that I do plan to argue the toss and as why it was rejected when the information was correct and exactly the same as that being filed in person. Fat lot of good it will likely do but I'm not in the mood to run around like a headless chicken because of Immigration incompetence.

TAT 'aims' to attract x million tourists from every country on the planet and then miss by a mile! ????

'Netizens' maybe need to get a life ????

Give as a moment while we look for some reasons as to why, sadly, you can't be PM ????

Oh my, we're on a roll with these now! Two honest cabbies and and honest cop, all within a couple of days. It was probably thought too much to go for the hat-trick all in one day ????

Been way overdue, double up with the honest cop too, will they go for the hat-trick? ????

Line Man. Standard meter rates plus the LM THB 20 booking fee. Way cheaper than Grab.

Ah, thanks for that. I know Nut has gone into politics and wondered if they'd sold up for that and / or other reasons.

"The authorities stress their duty to maintain order and readiness keep the plebs in check." "He questioned if any international agreements or treaties were in effect." As Deputy Chief of the police you'd think he might know!

Friend of mine is planning to visit Phuket soon and previously he always stayed at either the Hemingways Hotel in Soi Sansabai or at their Silk Hotel which IIRC was over near the Best Western. The owners also had Delish Restaurant around Soi Keb Sap. He's been checking to book and just messaged me saying it seems they have all vanished, maybe with the exception of Heroes bar? Any idea if they are still going, closed down, sold, changed name etc. Been 8 years or so since I lived in Phuket and 3 since I've been so I've no idea.

Always seemed strange to me, Soi 11 is supposedly one of THE prime night life locations (at least around Sukhumvit), yet it's still such a s**t hole. ????

Another envelope? ????

Right, thanks. I'' try that next time. maybe they changed something. I think the problem was not so much not being able to access US$ in Wise, more that the account April told me to pay into was in a French Bank and it wouldn't accept a payment in anything other than Euro (assuming you used the "pay into our account" from Wise and not using a Wise debit card).

Out of interest. How did you pay for the US$ using Wise. I looked into this ages ago and, at the time, the April US$ account was in a French bank and Wise told me I can only pay in Euros to a French account. In the past I've used my credit card and had the extra cost of about £40 to the already (rapidly climbing) premium as a result of using a non US$ card. Annoying.

I've tried several of the Maison Jean Phillipe offerings (bread, muffins, bagels etc.) and not been impressed with any of them. Marginally better (if at all) than the Thai generic stuff, just packed in smaller quantities in cellophane bags with a flashy label at 3-4 times the price. Pass.

His chances have been zero since the day he won. Merely a case of waiting for whatever trumped up reason the Jurassic Park Crew would come up with as to why. ????

So the place is 'famous' but it escaped everyone's attention that it hasn't got a licence? ????

Skummy toe-rag kids exist the world over sadly, not always just the spawn of skummy toe-rag parents either. Zero respect for authority, anyone or anything. Go and play in the traffic.

"Where documents are concerned, those deemed to be unimportant evidence are gradually being destroyed with important papers also being sent to his residence in preparation to hand over the office to the new prime minister."

I was in Central World yesterday on floor 5. Lots of people waiting at the vax facility there, seating area full and there were probably 100+ more standing waiting. Combination of it being only the second day of operation, a Saturday and the fact that (unlike the last time at Central World) it's only operating Fri, Sat & Sun I guess. The last booster I had was at CW and then it was very quiet as it was running every day. Time before was at MBK, also a daily operation. I'll use the MBK option this time I think even though the weekend only operation at CW may quiet down after the initial rush is over. I wasn't planning to bother with another booster unless it was Bivalent but now that's available I'll take it, particularly given the predictable post-Songkran surge in infections.

Out in two then? ????

Certainly seems a bit flaky at the moment. I never got the reminder email from Immigration at all this time. Submitted the report online as normal 14 days before it was due, next day, came back rejected, "details incomplete" was the reason given (despite completing the online screens exactly the same as I normally do). Submitted the exact same information again, 3 days later, approved. ????
