, I guess it depends on who's on duty as i had to pay the 500 baht fine.

You have answered your own question. The Thais that don't like it, except it, unconditionally. Unsurprisingly it is mainly the older generation but they will still drink and be merry, just in a setting where they will not be splashed

The Shinawatra family are the only chance of winning an election as they are loved by the rural masses but everyone knows that money is key. 300 baht offered in the last election for everyone in the village to turn up to their speech (they could of still voted the other way, I believe, but hardly anyone bothered to turn up to the other candidates speech's). More than half turned up and when you factor in all the other villages it must of cost millions upon millions. No surprise that party won by a landslide I stated then why would they vote for them knowing it was so corrupt. I lent money to GF's uncle to buy votes in the local village elections just to be the under boss of the village headsman. It cost him 40k/50k baht to buy the votes but it guaranteed him a paid job for 4 years. (touch and go, he won by 2 votes with 3 void votes that had voted for his opponent). Its a completely normal and expected practice. He just spent more money than the other candidate, who, with a much larger family in the village and sponsored by the headsman believed they would win easily.

An air of authenticity must be given in order that an impression of fairness and democracy is perceived for the upcoming election If the end result of the election cannot be manipulated, don't worry, we have already installed 250 senators so that we/I will be voted in to be the next prime minister and still have complete control. Everyone a winner.

Banks are not interested in that information they happily accept that a quota of fraudulent transactions will occur. 3 times i have had purchases(internet) on my card and been refunded each time . The last one was for online shopping from a well known supermarket which just by sheer chance i had noticed that it had only just gone through. I phoned and explained that all they need to do is contact the supermarket find the address and get the police to arrest them when they hand over the shopping. i was basically told that it was too much hassle and they weren't interested but i would receive a refund in the next hour, which i did.

My only claim is of being named on the birth certificate and he has my family name on the birth certificate yes i have a non o visa entry now which has been stamped to the 29th Jan 2023 I have read this topic on numerous occasions which gave me cause to believe it would be a simple process. At the Amphur i was shown an A4 paper that had a copy of some ones passport and the translated copy next to it There was also a stamped letter from the UK embassy validating the passpor.t I don't know if it was a separate letter or on the back of the copy/translated passport as there was no stamp covering the passport In other words it might of been a photo copy of the other side. I think the topic you mention needs to be updated as although you do not need a lawyer you will need translated copies of your passport, could this be done at trendy office?

I have put this here as not directly connected to immigration So i have finally arrived back in Thailand with a Non 'O' with the intension of getting an extension regarding being a parent of a Thai child. This was talked about last year but the conditions of the Kor Ror 11 were not mentioned My first hurdle started when i went to get the Kor Ror 11. They need my passport translated and stamped/verified by the UK embassy. Can i do this all at Trendy office building Bangkok or do i need to make an appointment with the UK embassy? obviously time being the factor I am happy to make the long trip from Issan to Bangkok to get things moving quickly as i know that once i have the Kor Ror 11 immigration has to send all the relevant documents to Khon Kean who issue the extension and this can take up to a month My only other hurdle as such was when i tried to explain to immigration that i just wanted to renew my extension each year, much like any other yearly extension I stated that i would get a re-entry permit upon which the immigration officer stated "cannot" So my second question is why can i not get a re-entry permit or do I not need one (unlikely) as this will very much make my plans redundant.

Putin has demanded that all oil and gas has to be bought in Russian roubles. Even though the EU outlawed this act many nations have got round it by buying their energy through a company who then in turn buys it in Russian roubles. Billions of roubles are being bought and thus artificially increasing the value of roubles. No one anticipated this happening, roubles are now 2.5 times higher (against most currencies) than before the conflict. No one really knows how long this can sustained but it has nullified the effects of sanctions to a certain extent for the time being.

By your second introduction had you then wised up to realise what you were actually missing? So what your really trying to say when you state you did lots of research, you came to the opinion (in your own words) 'that as you were fat and not that particularly wealthy' there was still a reasonable chance you could snatch a woman in Thailand as your limited funds would still impress. Lets face it once you've seen one temple your seen them all.

As already stated just print off the email approval notice and hand it to the immigration officer at the arrival check in booth at Bangkok airport, with your passport obviously. Apart from some of the questionable and unnecessary questions in the application it is that easy and simple.

No you have to book an appointment. The fact you have been out of the UK for 7 years should make no difference. Last year upon returning from Thailand i phoned up and went to a local fire station where they were doing the covid jabs, that was only 3 or 4 days before my appointment. Its all pretty well organised wherever you go to make sure it a quick in and out and minimal waiting.

As long as you are over 55 you can get a booster shot within about a week in the UK. I went through my doctor but you can ring the covid line and go to a walk in centre. I believe they have been modified to cater for the new variants. mine was Pfizer/BioNTech

I can only assume you are pro Russian or pro Putin. A better analysis of your statement can be found here https://bitterwinter.org/donbass-did-ukraine-kill-14000-pro-russians/ from my observation it seems the reason there has always been fighting within the Donbass region is due the fact that it is filled with 45+% of migrants from Russia who have decided they now want to be part of Russia. Enlighten me if I'm wrong. You obviously think that's ok? Your statement has no bearing on the atrocities that Putin has committed. A man who obviously has no morals in regards to whether the civilians he has killed or is killing, by bombing civilian buildings, are Pro- Russian or Ukrainian. There is, and never will be, no acceptable reason for his actions Or the known violent and sadistic Neo-Nazi mercenary's Putin has hired to apparently rid Ukraine of Nazism https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-neo-nazis-fighting-ukraine/31871760.html

For those reading this and waiting for a refund, all I can say is, 'don't hold your breath'

Absolutely true, but this process has been documented here before, a lawyer is not required for this process as long as you have her approval and goes with you to the Amphur. I will be going through this process next month
