What nonsense is that?

Seems to be working well nowadays with "retirement" extensions being completed quickly and efficiently and with mail and online  options for 90 days it is becoming only necessary to visit immigration for an hour or two a year, hardly a problem?

Go during high season and get back to us.

All the more reason to use a visa agent.

Yes, indeed.  Let someone else deal with the nonsense over at Immigration.  Life is too short.

From another CM thread, an interesting place is  http://www.chiangmaieroticgarden.com/ .  The attached pic is from that site.  It appears you can meet some decent ladies there.

Chiang Mai Erotic Garden in the Mae Rim area.  Website:  http://www.chiangmaieroticgarden.com/ 

Might not be a bad place to meet decent ladies, as per another thread.  From the website above: 

I’ve watched a 25 minute version of the video and a few things pop up.  My take.

Early on, The detective tells another cop that his watch commander has told him if the nurse doesn’t let him get the sample, she will be arrested.  He says he has seen this type of thing before, but not taken to this level.

The nurse is talking with her supervisor on speakerphone with the cop right there.  The nurse shows the cop the policy that lists three exceptions to the prohibition of drawing blood from an unconscious individual, and none of them apply. The supervisor on the phone asks the cop why is he going to arrest the nurse.  The cop replies because she is the one telling me no.  The supervisor then tells the detective, twice, “you’re making a big mistake.”  At that point, he arrests the nurse.  He appears to be angry at the nurse’s supervisor who he feels is stonewalling him.  After she is in the car, he takes her phone and tells her supervisor that she is in the car and they will be going to the command watch center.  This appears to me to be payback to the nurse’s supervisor, with the nurse being a pawn.

Another cop talks with the nurse while she is in the car.  He explains that the hospital policy is against the law.  He says something like “your policy conflicts with my law.”  It looks like he was wrong, though, that the law had changed and the policy the nurse showed him was in accordance with the law, and that the detective and his watch commander are totally in the wrong.

The police PR people now have a nightmare on their hands.  Not only does the cop look bad, but so does the watch commander, and by extension the entire police department. The nurse now has an attorney representing her and the cop is keeping his mouth shut.  Though she seems like a person who just want to do her job and is not in it for the money, I, too, hope that she sues the PD and pockets a fortune.  

Again, just my take.

Becoming rich is the easiest thing a man can do. (Compound interest). Do this:
- Invest 1000 $ and double it every year (a measely 100 % gain per year). Looks like this:
   1000
   2000
   4000
   8000
  16000
  32000
  64000
 128000
 256000
 512000
1024000 after 10 years 1000$ have turned into over a million $.

 

Son, you are on the right track. By yielding 7000% per year (not only a measely 100%), 10 years fom now you will own more assets than were ever earned/created or accumulated during the entire recorded human history. Compond interest, start with 1000$, yielding 7000% per year.

Son, forgive me, but it is appropriate and necessary to talk to you like a Duch Uncle at this point.

Never heard that "financial-bubbles" will eventually burst? All of them! Starting with the "Tulip-Mania" in Holland (1637), up to the 1929 "big bang", followed by the "dot.com" bubble and the "real-estate-bubble" in the US some 10 years ago. (other minor "bubbles", too numerous to mention.)

But you, having described yourself as a "timing-expert", will surely leave the party 3 minutes before everybody else has realised that the house is on fire, only finding that the fire-exits are clogged with folks wanting to get out. (Sell).

But by all means, keep us informed how this 7000% yield per year unfolds. Risking that sooner or later some financial lightweights like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg etc will knock on you door, asking "Son, just how you do it"?

At least, we can all be assured, that the poster can not possibly be tempted to buy "Family-Land" recommended by his Thai GF, even by promising a 100% yield per year (100% is peanuts, compared to 7000%).

- How much does a Big-Mac cost at McDonalds these days in form of Bitcoins?
Cheers.  

 

Not 7000%, 7,000,000%.  Do the math.

No offense but 3.75% is a pathetic return that I would not get out of bed for. Inflation will eat away this return. 

 

Ive been trading in and out of technology stocks on Nasdaq and have a 2 yr return of 80%. We are living in the golden age of advertising and investing in high growth companies like Facebook or google is the go. 

 

Im now buying Bitcoin and holding onto it long term. I envisage that I will double my money in the coming years. There's companies like IBM and investment banks like JP morgan using the Blockchain technologies. I might try and invest in these technologies as well. It really is changing the way that companies do business and its all thanks to Bitcoin. 

 

Both of these options require knowledge and a bit of expertise and balls. There's a saying 'no balls no babies'. Apply this to your investing and Im sure you will understand the context. 

 

Put $200k on Facebook (nasdaq exchange). You will double your money in 3 to 5 yrs I think. They havent even started monetizing whats app or  messenger yet. They are getting into VR and AR (games), not to mention tv programs now. 1/3 of the worlds population uses Fbook. Instagram has a long way to go. I bet that 1/3 of the world will probably be using instagram one day in the future. FB is a cheap stock at the moment. If they do a stock split next year you will get huge gains. Thats my 2 cents worth.... good luck son

Please don't beat yourself up for mis-timing the markets.  In this day and age 40%/year return is pathetic.  I bought $1 of Bitcoin in 2010 at $.008 and now it's worth $62.5 Million at $4000 per Bitcoin.  That works out to over 7,000,000% return per year.  It's all in the timing, son.

You knew that I meant when he was president.  Civil lawsuits before he was president mean nothing and there is no proof he lied. in those.  Stop trolling, though being a "made guy" I know you don't have to.  BTW how many times have you been suspended?  I would guess none.

Calm down. You never qualified your statement. You said he never lied under oath. I proved he did. And it was a sword testimony to Congress!

 

Accept it. And this is not trolling.

There is no one who dislikes the Orange Buffoon more than I do, but what you posted, craigt, is fake news.  If you go to the link it refers you to another link and that link says nothing about Trump lying under oath to Congress.  There is nothing on google that mentions Trump lying in sworn testimony to congress.  In fact, Trump has never testified in front of Congress. 

There is enough about the Orange One that is true and bad that we don't need to make stuff up.

I find it funny how people are not allowed to describe their bad experience with Dr Somboon.  He had done exactly the opposite of what I had agreed, I made a thread on this forum, and then it was deleted.

Also some people should have to freedom of speech should they not !?

Lets see what happens to this one !  Then we shall see who made the mistake !  Amazing what you can do if you can control thousands of different IP addresses !!!

Dude, this is a privately owned forum and thus no freedom of speech guaranteed.  You're right, though, and they should really make it clear that Thaivisa is heavily censored.

Looks like most of the insulting comments have been wisely deleted. Say you don't buy the theory of relativity and unleash a mass of angry flesh without any credentials in science or math and bent on tearing out your innards. How does one judge the human species? If anyone seriously wants to debate relativity (sans politics, insults and psychiatry), start a new thread. Restrict it to those with respectable credentials in science, begin with a sound statement of the first two postulates of relativity, then send me an invite.  Meanwhile, I've found at least one place where you can by high grade distilled water should you have a reason for it. 

So what are your credentials in science?

Trumps has little to no interest in what his government officials say.

Trump wants to destroy the world through his stupidity.

Should be 100%.  Trump is an idiot and he is going down!!!

Trump is about to destroy the entire Asian continent and you guys are arguing about history.  Geez.

The Orange Baboon is an idiot, but he has done more damage than you might think.  He has been appointing federal judges to lifetime appointments.  This will screw America over for the next few generations.  We are doomed.
