  1. And how would they do that with the military and courts still holding sway?
  2. Why does spell check not work in comments in Bangkok Post online?
  3. You as well? That was my most exciting thing.????
  4. I was wondering about online. Thanks for the info, but I did the TM30 at Immigration which should be good unless I leave the country and return.
  5. Correct. But the copies they make of the passport have to be signed'
  6. I have just extended my O Retirement visa at Jomtien Immigration. Normally it is an easy process taking just a few minutes. They are now insisting on confirmation of address, ie TM30. Something I've never been asked for in over thirty years. I did show my Thai driving license and got away with it. Even though TM6 is now not issued when entering the country, I did enter my existing TM6 code on my application form. I was told off for not printing the TM6 even though the date of entry page in my passport was printed. I was told to collect my passport not the next day as usual, but the day after. I was in and collected my passport and one year's extension in five minutes. Then spent one and a half hours getting a TM30 processed which is then clipped into the passport. The Immigration staff are very polite and helpful and I don't know how they keep smiling under the stress of dealing with hordes of foreigners. Hordes is the operative word now. Perhaps things will be easier when the building alterations to the department are completed. I sincerely hope so. I'm getting too old for the stress. ????
  7. And don't get dragged into something you don't want to do.????
  8. Don't the documents have to be signed at the bank?
  9. What is the situation when a person becomes too old or infirm to go to the bank to acquire a letter stating his finances for immigration purposes?
  10. Bang them up and make them pay for the damage and breaking the law.. I'm a Brit and I think nowadays some youngsters are less in control of themselves. They get a few tattoos and think they are invincible. Bang em up and let them enjoy Thailand's detention hospitality. ????
  11. To follow up on this subject, albeit a bit late. I had laser treatment to both eyes (Aging apparently) Painless, and I had 20/20 vision immediately. Amazing. cost? Bt14,000 and well worth it. Thanks Sheryl and to all those who gave me advice.
  12. I am upset emotionally and offended. It was obviously done with intent. And that littered beach is disgusting. The person continuously recording the despicable sex act, no doubt to replay it over and over again in the confines of his bedroom, had time to clean up that area of beach. It shows a complete lack of community spirit. By the way. Where is the video of this occurrence?????
  13. If Phue Thai party is dissolved I can see a revolution on the horizon and we all know where that will lead. An excuse for another coup. Politics is a dirty game. Thai politics dirtier than most.????
  14. One gets the impression that Thailand's tourism industry is in self destruct mode. One section trying to boost travel and the other to curtail it. Are there any forward thinking people here? My brain hurts.????
  15. Jomtien Immigration.
  16. Sadly, I have to agree with you. I was a serving soldier, under canvas in Kensington Gardens at QE2s coronation and the atmosphere and mood of the public was different from today. It was before we became a multicultural society or the internet and Britain was still a mainly a 'god fearing' country and still rallied around those that were seen as figureheads at that time. Recent shenanigans within the monarchy have left many Brits disenchanted with it. As much as I enjoy the pageantry, I, and maybe many others may start to question why the church is comes out with this mumbo jumbo of god allowing HM Charles 111 to be King. Having said that. Long live the King. I doubt I will see another Coronation. Maybe there will never be another one.
  17. Will a letter from the bank confirming the account amount done a day before extension application be accepted by immigration?
  18. Sad news. He gave me good advice over the years. He didn't need a visa where he went. R.I.P., Joe. You will be sadly missed.
  19. A pardon maybe. But will he escape prosecution for his allowing open season on nearly 3000 suspected drug dealers. Many I suspect were just bumped off to settle a grievance.
  20. That's what I thought. But that's how the Indians like them, I'm led to believe.????
