I am in a similar position. I last obtained a new passport about 8.5 years ago - I just took the new and old passports (and photocopies of same) with the required form to Hua Hin Immigration; no extension of visa, just a transfer with the same expiry date.

What is this love affair between Thai kittens and cars, especially car engines? Almost every time a neighbourhood cat has a litter of kittens, they seem to find my car, and get under the hood, thus requiring close engine area inspection before driving.

Seems that the Zionist Jews have the power and the non-Zionist Jews are relatively powerless.

AI law enforcement requires intelligence AND enforcement, otherwise it is virtually useless.

But but but ... New Zealand is quality, and safe.

True, and many are wearing uniforms.

Should be a good day to engage in some criminal activities as most of the active police will be at the demonstration. It would be nice if 1+ million show up, but ....

Every day, almost the same story appears - only the details change. Is there anything in Thailand that the Chinese do not control?

Corruption is everywhere in Thailand - Thai civil service job = license to enrich oneself.

The annual meeting to discuss police wage increases.

"Trump Triumphs At NATO Summit" - more than a little false. Trump's premature departure was certainly a triumph for NATO.

Answer - yes.

Thailand will not be happy.

Yet more negative international publicity for Thailand.

Could it be that Thailand is getting a lot of negative international press, on a wide diversity of issues? Could it be that some recent tourists who have had "negative" experiences in Thailand are posting their experiences on social media? Maybe one day Thais will wake-up to the reality that they need a government and government bureaucracy, at all geographic levels, that looks after the interests of all Thais and a good future of the nation, and not selfish personal wealth. It is the selfish politicians and bureaucrats that are killing Thailand and its reputation.

Too bad that the local government authorities do not do this on a daily/weekly basis, unlike in many coastal tourist areas in Australia.

Would be nice if we were informed of where the bash will be held? Somewhere in ASEAN, I imagine.

Yet another waste of tax-payer money which will only benefit certain individuals.

Thus, a question - how did he get into Thailand? Did he legally enter Thailand, if so why was he not detained at the point of entry?

Only foreign tourists? How many foreign expats fined? How many Thai tourists fined? How many local Thais fined? Give us some perspective please!!!

1.5 million would be better.

What the Thai people think or want is irrelevant; it is all about what the powerful business families and associated groups want, even if it means Thailand will sink.

Welcome to the modern world. I came here to get local (Thai) reliable news and information about being an expat in Thailand. At times there is useful information, especially original news and information posts from moderators, etc. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of "fake news and misinformation".

I am almost 70 years young; I have been having 6-monthly skin check-ups since I was 45. So far no major problems, just a few small BCCs.

Who is Trump NOT going to bomb in the Middle East? Israel and Saudi Arabia, maybe Egypt?
