    Having seen entire floors of hotels booked as an "operating brothel", some hotels are duplicitous in the operation. The "visitors" are treated as such, no TM30, no passports, no bookings.

    I was forced to set up a second Apple Store account for this region. Had to do the same thing to install the 7/11 app. It is a PITA, but not impossible.

    Thai women do look quite beautiful when dressed in this manner.

    Would be nice if they could exert some control over "immigration gifts"...

    The one thing I do not do is punish innocent people who have nothing to do with immigration's policies and actions.

    Some of the most amazing things to ever happen in my life happened "after 12". Most of the worst things to ever happen in my life happened in the middle of the day.

    I have had this happen quite a number of times over the years, in various ways. I always fix the problem, simply because for most of these employees, that mistake will come right out of their paycheck. And they are typically not making enough income for that to be trivial.

    In my dreams, both parties start offering presidential candidates worth voting for. Has not happened in forever.

    Given the state of the tables, it looks like another one of those "ceiling tiles" fires.

    Beware of using an agent for this circumstance. Once you have used an agent in this way, you are "locked in".

    What AI software did they use to do that? Asking for a friend...

    You could always go to a private hospital where Thais and foreigners pay the same 900 baht...

    Said mental health problem being "Yaba"?

    I believe the poster was referring to the news some time back regarding police getting in trouble for "VIP Escorting" foreigners.

    It should be noted that, in general, immigration officers view the retirement extension as "easier" to process. In my experience, having done both, it is.

    Interesting, since I just did that last month, and a friend did the same last year. EDIT - Oh dear. Wrong again. It was a Visa Exempt in both my case and my friends. I did not realize that VOA was treated differently. I am happy others clarified this.
  17. timendres
    Right. My bad. I forgot about that.
  18. timendres
    I believe that you needed to convert your VOA to a Non-O visa. This is a straightforward process, at least here in BKK. With the Non-O visa, you should have no problem opening a bank account.

    So many things wrong with this story. The girl should be in school. The Chinese guy needs a week in Bangkok Hilton.

    the wai

    timendres replied to stoner's topic in General Topics

    Spend enough time with Thai people, and you will notice they are not constantly "wai-ing" each other. You will begin to notice the contexts in which it is commonly used and/or expected. As a foreigner, returning a wai is never wrong.

    My problem is not with "gay sex on TV". My problem is with the relentless, and excessive, "sex on TV" - gay or otherwise. I am old enough to remember when all that was needed was a "hint" of the sex that we now are shown in vivid detail. It often adds nothing to the story, and is simply gratuitous. Personally, I feel it often detracts from the story. But, I suppose it is a reflection of the modern audience?

    In 13 years, I have never been short changed at a 7/11. At least a half dozen times, I have had to hand back money because they gave me too much change.

    Sounds like mandatory fire extinguishers at strategic locations would be a good idea. I do not remember seeing one anywhere when I last visited.

    A friend of mine likes The British Club for Christmas dinner: https://www.britishclubbangkok.org/the-club-event/christmas-lunch-dinner-4/ Not sure if you need a membership or not.

    Right. I was confusing that with the privilege of being able to purchase a condo without showing the funds came from outside the country. Thank you for setting that straight.
