  1. Farcical! The medical certificate needed for an extension of visa by means of retirement means a visit to see a doctor at the local hospital who may or may not take your blood pressure, asks "How are you feeling today" and if you say "OK", you get your "Medical Certificate"!
  2. Wow! All that manpower to arrest 4 people for being here longer than they should! Now what about the "proper" criminals? Or is that too much work?
  3. See my post 3 above this one - it was supposed to happen but didn't!
  4. Always has been a guy to open his mouth before engaging his brain!
  5. Ah, ah, Anutin - I wondered where he'd gone! 🙂
  6. Agree 100% - especially when it only seems to apply to the larger Supermarkets (Tesco Lotus, Macro, and 711) Well - 99% - they could also ditch the midnight to 11 am ban! Archaic law that should have been dumped years ago.
  7. That was supposed to be implemented a couple of years ago , but never happened!
  8. Just for personal use? These Aussies overindulge in everything!
  9. Maybe thought that you were implying that he was gay?
  10. "The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is positively beaming as European tourists flock to the country. The TAT governor, Thapanee Kiatphaibool, reveals that the visitor count from Europe has soared, with a stunning 3.5 million arrivals between January and April." But, but, but yesterday was all "doom and gloom"?:- "Thailand's tourism sector faces a pressing situation as foreign arrivals nosedive, with both leisure and corporate travellers dwindling. Former TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn stresses urgent reform is needed to revive the industry and proposes the creation of new destinations to attract higher-quality visitors. Visitor numbers have dropped 1% as of May 11, with particular declines from key markets like China, Hong Kong, and South Korea." "I would rather believe Keir Starmer than anyone from TAT, and his turnarounds are legendary (in the UK)!
  11. Good post! The renewal process in my "neck of the woods" takes a bit longer than that, but the annoying thing is having to provide the same information (in duplicate) year after year after year e.g. Copy of Marriage Licence, copy of all pages of Passport etc etc. This year I managed to get the number of photocopies required down to about 130!!!
  12. This seems to have been suggested many times but nothing is done or will be done about these killers until some "hi-so" or his family are attacked. It seems that animal life is more sacred here than humans'. From a few years back:- "Giant, aged 2, the Pit Bull breed or Ban Dog that savaged its owner to death last week has been taken to his funeral in Pattaya. He took part in a ceremony called "khor khama" in which he apologized to the corpse."
  13. When TAT make a "doom & gloom" statement things must be REALLY, REALLY bad!
  14. So we have been led to believe - numerous times! 🙂
  15. Well done Mr Sayan for taking the photo, and well done AN for publishing it. Too often we hear of the perpetrators of injustice leaving the scene and nobody has the foresight to take a "snap", which is bound to be a lot of help to the investigators.
  16. Most of which are on holiday here - not living here and sponging money from the State!
  17. "This court is tasked with examining whether Thaksin's prison sentence was appropriately enforced, with the first hearing set for June 13." What prison sentence? The one that was reduced from 8 years to 1, although I don't think he actually served one day in jail.
  18. If the 16 others are all built to the same specifications as this guy, no wonder the building collapsed! 🙂
  19. As is the day I put you on "Ignore" - I'd forgotten why, but you've just reminded me! By the way, you need to be careful with your racist remarks - the "Mods" have their eyes on you! "A post using a derogatory slur for British people has been removed, please don't do this, @Ralf001 15. You will not discriminate or post slurs, degrading or overly negative comments on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, medical history, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy, maternity, paternity, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other irrelevant factor."
  20. Did I say there was? The point I was making is that many "Brits" involved in trouble have foreign sounding names, and the fact that Muhammad is the most popular choice of name for a baby boy not only in London, but in many parts of the UK illustrates the fact that the place is fast becoming overrun by foreigners .
  21. "Caught with 34 sealed packs of marijuana during a scanner check, her arrest has shocked both her loved ones and those following the case." I agree with you if it had been a small amount for personal use - but 14 kg? She's a mule or a dealer!
