  1. What normal person walks around with half a million dollars cash on them?
  2. If you've been here 16 years as you say, you should know the overstay rules are quite clear and posted on various immigration sites. I even have to sign a document to say I am aware of them every year I do an annual extension. Don't you do the same?
  3. So you restart the whole Non Imm visa process and your first yearly extension every visit to the country you mean? That sounds mental.
  4. I think someone needs to reset the date and year clock on the AseanNow news robot?
  5. The photo is not even related to the story, its of another Myanmar junta atrocity on the other side of the country.
  6. Countries like China and Thailand are funding the illegal Myanmar junta with the spoils of the energy sector to feed their own greedy nations. This is off the blood of innocent oppressed Myanmar citizens. Until these two foreign countries sort their act out, they will pay the price of the refugee crisis - probably with small change from their energy gains, but the loss of reputation will linger much longer.
  7. Not very hard at all I imagine judging by the behavior of some foreigners.
  8. You are asking what proof format is needed for something 'if' the Thai RD asks for?
  9. The headline could be described as "unnecessary labeling" or "irrelevant stereotyping." By mentioning the person's profession when it has no bearing on the story, the headline is potentially perpetuating a stereotype or generalization about engineers!
  10. Why would funds be taxed if they are just funds being moved from another country ? The money being transferred is not considered income, but rather a movement of existing assets.
  11. So is Microsoft Office Online if you choose.
  12. Probably have to get used to it. For any computer screen work progressive lens will be painful to use. For everything else progressives should be fine. I always carry both around. I also never buy local, online Zenni is cheaper and good quality.
  13. I have never used an agent and my sleep is perfect.
  14. I went to Bamrungrad with a frozen shoulder about 13 years ago for a second opinion after another hospital in Bangkok recommended 10,000 USD surgery. Bamrungrad recommended physio only and after about 6 weeks it was all cleared up. The pain came back about 2 years later in my other shoulder, and I just repeated the physio I had learned before at Bamrungrad and fixed myself. It has been 10 years free of shoulder pain ever since until now. There are YouTube videos on how to treat yourself as well.
  15. Why would you even expect questions on this at an immigration office?
  16. Only someone with a few screws loose would think a war criminal is offering peace talks.
  17. Yellow book alone no use for me. Must show a pink ID card also.
  18. And rightly so if they pull a knife on you no?
  19. Ok, definitely Ruskies or Chinese it is then.
  20. Funny how the title of subject automatically assumes its a foreigner when the KhaoSod reports: >> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others.
  21. Tom Sosnof of Tastytrade put it best: Last week, the FTX saga mercifully came to an end. Sam Bankman-Fried was finally sentenced. At last, MIT fundraisers can rejoice. Hopefully, aside from the obligatory 60 Minutes prison interview and the Michael Lewis made-for-TV movie, we never have to hear or read about SBF again. But was justice served? SBF for sure doesn’t think he’s done. Also, he probably still believes he didn’t do anything wrong. I am convinced he saw himself as a modern day Robinhood and believed his altruism would protect him from any wrongdoing. Nothing could be further from the truth. SBF’s thievery and the criminality of his organization emboldened the SEC and other regulatory bodies to essentially shut down trading in all but a few of the largest cryptocurrencies. This ultimately cost self-directed investors hundreds of billions of dollars in capital appreciation. It also set the financial industry back by killing start-up valuations, destroying the flow of new investment capital, stifling new tech innovation, and worst of all, limiting what products and strategies individual investors could use to participate in the digital asset marketplace. There is not a prison sentence long enough to compensate for all of the progress he erased.
