  1. Yes, there is, at the departure level. If I remember correctly - they accept only cash payments in THB. Fee is per bag\suitcase according to size.
  2. The actual job of UNIFIL is a fact, not an opinion. The Hezbollah presence in southern Lebanon is a fact., not an opinion. The weapons, missiles, exploding drones being stored in and fired to Israel FROM southern Lebanon - all facts, not an opinion. The tunnels discovered next to UNIFIL posts are a fact, not an opinion.

  3. You obviously skipped the beginning of the article which describes what unifil mission is and how they totally failed in keeping it. As for Gaza - unra - most of their sites are used by hamas to hide weapons and terrorists, many of the unra employees are in fact supporting hamas and some were even part of the October 7th attack on Israel. Unra was established to take care of Palestinian refugees, meaning to help them get out of the refugee status, yet after nearly 80 years they have solved 0 cases
  4. You can ask that question about any immigration offices around the world. Search utube for Australian border force, and mind you, except for kiwis and Aussies EVERYBODY must apply for a visa before flying there
  5. They do realise that it's only 2 and a half months till the end of this year, right?
  6. I would go to the DLT to get the POA forth from them, as some government offices have specific forms for specific tasks. That would be the easiest way. They'll have the forms needed and know what documents you need.
  7. Not really. Weed is known to have a side effect of panic attacks. Usually it happens to newbies, but can also happen to experienced users if using stronger or more than usual weed. The thing is - experienced users would normally know how to deal with it. Why would anyone lace weed? No true. New users or those who smoke once in a blue moon might get a panic attack from weak weed as well. It depends on body tolerance, the amount you smoke and also the environment where you use it.
  8. As was already mentioned - such a lease is not legal and can be annulled including the 1st period of 30 years. As for the sale of lease options and who paid for what, under what terms - this is up to what you agree with the land owner and put on the lease contract.
  9. That's a misconception. The units are not marked as foreign\Thai quota units. Every time a unit is to be sold to a non Thai person the condo management had to issue an official letter indicating the % of units owned by non Thais and only if it is less than 49% the unit can be registered to a foreigner. As the letter is valid for a period of time and the transfer at the land office + notification to the condo management might be done at the end of that period, other letters indicating less than 49% foreign ownership might be issued and it can happen that foreign ownership will exceed the 49% for a while, meaning that a foreign owned unit would not be allowed to sell to a foreigner.
  10. The compulsory insurance stays with the car. The 1st class is up to you and what you agreed with the buyer. You can cancel it or just leave it.
  11. So she had a panic attack, and hotel staff called the police that came to take her from her room and into a police car - which means her fear came true, making it worse
  12. That's for the admission fee. Don't know how much it is now, used to be 20k for non Thais, 8k for Thais. That's a one time fee. Then there is the tuition fee which is calculated by credit points, and those are the same for all.
  13. It was, and will be, readily available in Thailand. The only difference is the legality issue. And as far as I understand this article is about extracts, not flowers.
  14. You have to have a registered business, you have to get permit (and put a bank guarantee) from TAT, of you employ foreign national they must have a proper work permit and pay taxes. If those foreigners work legally - all is good. If not they might actually cut local's prices as they don't have those expenses.
  15. Yap, pretty normal after 25 years of marriage and 3 kids.
  16. Although I'm a lite smoker - only evenings - I once felt I get a lot less for the same amount of smoke. I took a break of about a week, it 10 days and it did help. However, none of the reasons you mentioned actually effect me. I smoke mainly to improve my sleep, but I can sleep well even if not smoking for few days from time to time. I do enjoy better some stupid comedy shows while stoned, I can still enjoy many things when not stoned. I don't experience irritation in the mouth, throat and neck areas from weed (especially now that I vape), but as a cigarette smoke I might have some irritation in the throat, but unfortunately it's near impossible for me to take a break from that
  17. Why don't you try it? I'm pretty sure that cases like that (criminal activity) will earn you both criminal charges (and possible jail time) AND deportation.
  18. Italy for one. How many farangs have the knowledge of Thai history? The sigh seeing or even understand enough Thai to communicate with Thai apart from asking how much?
  19. There are many countries in the world that only allow local nationals to work as tour guides. When Thai tour groups go to Europe and other places they must take a local guide while the Thai group leader is only allowed to translate.
  20. First of all you have to decide what and where (province\city) you want to study. Then try to search the universities site to see if they have the courses you want. Then go personally to the uni, find the faculty\department in question, find a professor to talk to, and then go to the registration office. As for assumption university, I graduated BBA there, and then enrolled for master degree in a related field. I started studying and even joined a faculty weekend in chonburi all without paying a single BAHT, not even the registration fee. After a month I decided it wasn't for me so the only costs I had were a couple of text books. Mind you, although most universities in Thailand have English programs for bachelor degree, very few offer master degrees in English AFAIK. Chula uni in BKK used to have an executive MBA program in their Sasin business school. It used to be in partnership with North Western university with many "imported" professors. Don't know if they still have the program, but back then it was 1m BAHT for 1 year.
  21. Needed for my father in the past. 1st time went to big private hospital in BKK. They took his pic, added to the note from the doc. Can't remember how much it was. The next few years got it from the embassy for free.
  22. That must be a different book than the Bible I know of. How on earth anything that has happened 3000 years ago in what we know of today as the middle East had anything to do with the history of the US of A?
  23. Good for the people, not so for the governments Everything you do, everywhere you go - you leave a trail that can be used to send you ads and offers. It is up to you if you fall for it or not. You use gmail? facebook? any other social media? It's all for free BECAUSE the companies that offer the services can cash on your activities in other ways. How many people out there are willing to actually pay for all those free services? and when some services actually cost money - such as netflix, spotify etc' - how many people are trying to work around the limitations and get more than they've paid for? I don't have statistics, but pretty sure most transactions in Thailand are by QR payment - directly from 1 bank account to another. At the moment there are ne fees collected from either end. As for businesses that accept CCs and get charged % for it - the bank's cut is already calculated into the selling price (and in small shops where it isn't, they charge that % in addition to the selling price - so the buyer pays extra but the business gets the full 1000 THB). Besides, those big businesses pay their suppliers by cheques, money transfers and maybe even some cash, so no % deductions again and again as you describe.
  24. that has changed over 30 years ago. Thailand allows multiple nationalities since then.
