Why would Thaiger quote itself as the source?

Bit of a rash statement, out of the full range of visa available only a limited number can be changed within the country. You can go from Tourist to certain categories of the Non Immigrant visa but you cannot go from Tourist to Investment visa directly as you would need to have a Non Immigrant visa first.

Thailand is a metric country so there is no legally defined measure in the pint, used informally it can mean anything you want. Going for a pint just means going to the pub. In the UK, beer is still the impperial measure and must be sold as such. Alcohol There are different rules depending on whether you’re selling by the glass or bottle. By the glass Measures Still wine 125ml, 175ml, multiples of 125ml and 175ml Port, sherry or other fortified wine 50ml, 70ml, multiples of 50ml or 70ml Gin, rum, vodka and whisky Either 25ml and multiples of 25ml, or 35ml and multiples of 35ml (not both on the same premises) Draught beer and cider Third, half, two-thirds of a pint and multiples of half a pint https://www.gov.uk/weights-measures-and-packaging-the-law/specified-quantities

What is ridiculous is you ridiculing a perfectly reasonable point of view. it is whatever suits someone best, I always use COD and no other payment option could suit me better. Accepting deliveries is never a problem, not there one day, you will be the next but I accept it may not suit everyone. Each to their own.

Indeed, but if you do that you are supposed to be in the UK at the time, but there is always the VPN. The sooner the system is complete and global the better, then there wouldn't be these anomalies.

Everyone wants to make it about money but that is a distraction, it is about morality and equality. You are right it is all about campaigning which hasn't been handled very well. The APPG said it should be abolished but they tried to push financial hardship rather than injustice.

There should never be an "end of". Women got the vote and gay men got out of prison, the problem is politicians are brainwashed into thinking the law is always right, yet in recent years been challenged many times. On Thursday Bojo forgot the law he introduced.

No I am not saying that, the site is made up of centralised pages and country specific pages but not sure how you are directed to the right ones, could be linked to your account. I just logged in and as a matterof interest put in UK passport and Saudi resident, a message popped up and said to contact regional offices. I wouldn't take that as gospel as the system may have seen a conflict in respect of my account, the OP should try it with a new account. It could however mean that residents of countries not on the e-visa platform cannot use the e-visa. When I tried the same thing before it was another e-visa country and that worked.

I read the white paper prior to the referendum in 2014 and AS made a lot of claims that were quite impractical. The way airline taxes are collected it is difficult to be selective, we saw that with the Thai proposal. I suspect NS realised the difficulty.

First time I saw it was on back of my pension letter.

As I am a veteran I wrote to Johnny Mercer a couple of years back when he was Veterans minister. I am still waiting on a reply and suspect you will end up in the same boat.

If you want to think that is justification feel free.

The E-visa platform was only available in 23 countries Nov 22, since then I think Slovakia, Slovenia and Austria have been added. I created my account when e-visa was only available in China, did quite a bit of testing on the China one and then on the London site when available. Had several e-visas, one obtained here in Thailand, well aware of how it works.

It's 50 years since I lived in Germany and the sex trade was very widespread. much more so than Thailand. Your confident statement may or may not be right, no one will ever know, but I can state with confidence it is certainly made with misconceptions.

Indeed, but a bit irrelevant, it will always be an issue for as long as it kills. My niece is a doctor and she is saying heat related admissions are higher than they have ever been, of course data recording is better than it has ever been. The son of my wife's aunt died on Thursday from heat stroke, think he was in his 50s. But then back in 2012 we went to the funeral of a foreigner my wife worked with who had died from heat stroke, also in his 50s.

No, you cannot do it "here" if you mean Saudia Arabia as it is not on the E-visa platform. Even if it were there may be language issues, Hong Kong created their website in English. You should be able to do it online using the London website, full instructions can be found here https://thaievisa.go.th/static/English-Manual.pdf

You responded to a post concerning pension credit with the implication I wasn't entitled to pension credit although I had already said it was 3 years before state pension age.

Very easy to take that moral high ground. many people made their retirement plans when Mr Google was still sucking the tit. Information from the UK government on pensions was rarer than a 9 bob note At the end of the day it is immoral for the government to continue the policy, even the APPG recommended it be abolished. No doubt Keir Starmer will have selective memory. https://frozenbritishpensions.org/jeremy-corbyn-gives-labours-backing-pension-unfreezing/

Indeed. I had a quick look and yes I see there is a couple of benefits that are not automatic for WFA. Something else I was not aware of is that it can be paid overseas and those living overseas have to claim, irrespective of anything else.

Bit the same here this afternoon. Fairly confident it will come Sun/Mon, we have a trip planned to Pattaya to see friends from Phitsanulok who made a sudden decision to escape the heat for a couple of days.

Why wouldn't they, Germany recognises the sex trade and has done for centuries. I was stationed in Germany early 70s and bars showing what is now known as adult movies were quite common, and with customers of both sexes. The Eros Center was probably the most famous brothel in the world.

British English is a recognised name for a collective as in Standard British Southern English or embedded in BBC English. However the American vernacular is a historical derivitive from the language of the British settlers. Amazing that someone boasting that they had a flush toilet becomes common vocabulary.

OK I will stand corrected on that. You are obviously aware of a situation where it would be necessary. My understanding was that anyone eligible would already be on something else and quite happy to accept that may not be the case. The word "claiming" that was used however was inappropriate as that implies a continuing requirement. If someone did have to claim it would be once only. You should also bear in mind that the post in question had made a derogatory implication against myself but I take your point.

Hi Bill, glad to see your name come up, not seen it for a while and was beginning to wonder. Yes we had some really torrential rain in March, a good deal more than last year but been fairly dry since. Last year we went to UK 30th April and if I remember right wife's sister said rain came just after we left. Our well ran out a couple of weeks ago and that is the first time for several years. I remember when I first came it used to run out about early March and sometimes bought water. Wife seem to think it will start here on Monday, have to wait and see on that. We are off to UK on 14th, looks like plenty over there.

Only a certain mentality would think the law is always right, only a couple of weeks ago Sunak said the government has an obligation to right the wrongs of the past. By the nature of the issue frozen pensioners have little voice in the UK, maybe if a few trans took up the case the government may take a different view.
