  1. 13 years of extensions: marriage (1yr), retirement (2y), work permit (9yr), and now back to retirement this year. All done a Chaeng Watthana. Simple, efficient, never once an attitude or mistreatment. Never felt unwanted. But, several times over the years, I have noticed periods of increased "scrutiny".
  2. Of course, there are moving companies in Thailand. Storage as well. But, as you might imagine, they are very "local" businesses, so it depends on where you are. Here in Bangkok, I have been very happy with a moving company named "Good Move": https://www.goodmove-th.com/ They have moved me three times, each time a townhouse full of stuff. A little more expensive, but very professional. Never needed storage, but considered it once and found many storage places online. Again, in Bangkok.
  3. Being met at the airport by a mob of uniformed police is the start of my fantasy vacation.
  4. Visited a friend back in the US. He had what we call a "McMansion". Over spec-ed, overbuilt, semi-gaudy, gigantic house sitting on 20 acres of property. Across the paved street were a dozen more identical McMansions, albeit on smaller, perfectly manicured, lots. We were sitting on his porch, looking over the houses, and discussing how literally everything he might want to do was a drive of at least 30 minutes. Nothing within walking distance. He then commented, "Isn't this incredible?" I gave him the answer he wanted to hear, "Yeah, it really is." -- Boring AF all. I could not leave soon enough. But. The truth is. He was genuinely very happy.
  5. Unless promised by the network... (yes, I also doubt that ^_^)
  6. #11 really hurts, because it does not even require a conviction: "involved ... directly or indirectly ... financial crime". That suggests one just needs to be involved with a crime, which is sounds like it describes the OP's situation exactly. Bummer.
  7. The "supporting" documents are pretty much indentical. The thing to note is that the documents you get from the bank need to be done on the same day. So you need to get those again on the day of your appointment.
  8. Now I am confused. ^_^ The OP was posting for a friend in "Pak Chong" wanting to "border bounce to Cambodia". It was @Yagoda that had the "Cambodian long term visa". Correct?
  9. And this is what happens when you start to hand out free money. The queue of outstretched hands becomes infinitely long.
  10. After 7 days, they can fine you up to 5.000 baht. It is almost universally 2,000 baht, unless you pay the "not polite enough" tax.
  11. Based on the English writing of my first wife, I could easily tell she was from B1tchranistan.
  12. He does not have a lot to offer, compared to other players, but the push to exit China is a solid tailwind. Best make hay while the sun shines.
  13. He was out of the country, then decided to come back in?! He needs to go to jail for being stupid.
  14. And, as in my case, owners of the company also do not pay or qualify.
  15. So, he is no Raymond Reddington. Just 104 more to go...
  16. And, after this stimulation, the economy will still be in a shambles, but with raging inflation. Good times!
  17. Sounds like the dentist administered nitrous...
  18. In a three story townhouse with a drain pipe from the third floor to the ground floor that had no access, the maintenance guy had a "snake" that was able to run down the drain pipe and clean it out completely. It was excellent.
  19. I believe the word "masterminds" in this context is only "relative" to those doing the arresting...
