The same in Bangkok. They just keep making the same mistakes. Ignorance and greed.????

Understood. But what about when you go for your retirement extension? A photocopy has always been required. I've read that some immigration officials seem to do their own thing and ignore directives from above.

The 'friend' staying with them disappeared? He or she would not have let the robbers in I suppose? This smells fishy, Watson.????

To a point I agree. But after 35 years here surely it is acceptable to be able give an opinion and critisise corruption and other inequalities which affect my family members?

Forget it. You are not paying attention.????

Dr. Anund is sadly missed.

UK coalition?

Why didn't he attempt to do something about it when he was in power? His claim to fame in my opinion, was his introduction of the Bt30 health scheme, for which I give him credit. It would seem that it is advantageous for those in power now and before, to keep the citizens undereducated. They are easier to manipulate. But change is coming, as the internet has become more accessible. But not to everyone.

Yes. This sustanciates my comment.

Perhaps you live in Bangkok and not upcountry?

It amazes me that today, everyone is expected to have a mobile phone and it's taken for granted that Line or what other hitech communications are at everyones hand. There must be many children who are looked after by family members who have never had access to this. It's a feeble excuse that 'parents won't see a handwritten note and the teacher didn't want the pupil to be embarrassed by not wearing the 'proper' attire?" I suppose wearing a sign on your chest doesn't constitute an embarrassment?

Perhaps if he had made an effort to educate not only his children, but the Thai population by revamping the education he might leave have deserved a better legacy.

Any excuse to give those automatic weapons and airing.????

I had to google it. Home owners association?

A bit late for my family who arrived fo Switzerland yesterday at 0530 Thai Inter. Through immigration with no checks, just passport stamped. Out and on the road in a rented vehicle in under an hour. Fantastic.

You think too much????

This may be the wrong forum? I have an old Samsung fridge freezer which needs new door seals. I can't find any model number. Is door seal available that can be cut to length for DIY? Or where to purchase new seals? Chonburi, Rayong area?

Why. They let a now government minister back in. But he's Thai and now the leader of a political party. Ethics rule here.????

Surely you can't suspect any shenanigans with a company where our Health Minister is a director?????

It looks like the prime ministers promise to tackle corruption collapsed.????

Making mountains out of mole hills springs to mind.????

Ratatouille?

I thought the same thing.

Thanks Joe.

By the removal of compulsory health insurance to enter the kingdom mean that O visa holders can return on a re entry visa without it? For those of my age insurance is impossible to obtain.
